VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsIt's been nearly two months since the trend of celebrities and politicians launching memecoins began. During this period, liquidity in the Solana ecosystem almost dried up. Pump.fun, which once saw over 2000 successful launches landing on DEXs daily, hit a low of just slightly over 50 new projects per day, marking a drop of nearly 97%. During the two months, Pump.fun also rolled out its own DEX, Pump Swap, while major centralized exchanges (CEXs) accelerated their transition and put toward products combining spot and on-chain transactions. These offerings help bridge the liquidity gap between CEXs and on-chain trading, in order to capture opportunities in early-stage tokens' hype and drive a faster recovery in Solana's on-chain liquidity.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe unique value of Proof-of-Work (PoW) tokens lies in their mining mechanism and regulatory positioning. Research shows that mining costs are a defining feature of PoW tokens, involving significant investment in hardware and electricity. When market prices approach miners' breakeven points, miners tend to hold onto their coins in anticipation of future appreciation. This behavior reduces circulating supply, shifts the supply-demand balance, and may contribute to price increases. Regulatory clarity is also critical to the investment appeal of PoW tokens. Both BTC and LTC are classified as commodities by the U.S. SEC rather than securities, which simplifies the ETF approval process. In January 2024, the approval of the BTC spot ETF triggered significant institutional inflows. LTC is currently undergoing the ETF application process. While DOGE and KAS have not yet received formal classification, their PoW nature may position them for similar treatment. Together, these factors enhance market liquidity and attract more institutional investors.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsIn recent weeks, rising risk-averse sentiment and declining demand for leverage have led to a sharp drop in yields across Earn products. On major DeFi platforms, stablecoin yields have fallen below 4%, while on centralized exchanges, yields on stablecoin-based Earn products now hover around 2%. In contrast, Bitget HodlerYield offers users a 10% APR on stablecoins, with no 7-day cooldown for withdrawals or claims. Funds can be deposited and redeemed instantly, offering greater convenience and flexibility.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe RWA (Real-World Assets) sector has been gaining significant traction in the crypto space, as it tokenizes traditional assets like real estate and bonds to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. This process unlocks trillions of dollars in potential value, while enabling broader access to high-value investments through asset fractionalization, increased liquidity, and lower entry barriers. RWA also diversifies and stabilizes DeFi collateral options, addressing the sector's over-reliance on crypto-native assets and paving the way for large-scale adoption. With regulatory frameworks becoming clearer worldwide, the compliance advantages of RWAs are increasingly evident—drawing in institutional capital. What sets RWA projects apart is their connection to real-world income streams like rent and interest payments, offering more sustainable returns than purely speculative assets. These cash-flow-generating features appeal to investors seeking steady returns. As such, RWA is seen as a crucial step in the evolution of blockchain technology from concept to practicality. Its development potential and practical use cases make it an important sector in the crypto industry today.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsRecently, the BNB chain has seen a significant rise in both funds and user activity, accompanied by increasing market attention to its ecosystem. Following the Binance Alpha update, the barrier between Binance's main platform and the chain has been effectively removed, enabling CEX funds to trade DEX tokens. This development is poised to further enhance user and fund activity within the BNB ecosystem, driving strong potential demand for Binance Alpha-listed assets. This bodes well for the growth of the BNB ecosystem and highlights the importance of its core assets.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsOver the past month, the cryptocurrency market has faced a downturn due to multiple factors. Global macroeconomic uncertainties, such as shifts in U.S. economic policies and the impact of tariffs, have heightened market anxiety. Meanwhile, the recent White House crypto summit failed to deliver any significant positive news for the crypto market, further dampening investor confidence. Additionally, fluctuations in market sentiment have led to capital outflows, exacerbating price declines. In this volatile environment, selecting stable and secure passive-income products is more crucial than ever. Bitget offers solutions that not only provide high-yield fixed-term products but also flexible options for users who need liquidity. Furthermore, with the added security of the Protection Fund, investors can earn steady returns even amidst market volatility.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsOver the past few weeks, BTC has repeatedly tested the $100,000 resistance level, briefly breaking through multiple times before failing to hold, resulting in sharp declines Altcoins have entered a technical bear market, though SOL has shown resilience during both downturns and rebounds. However, the trading frenzy surrounding Solana-based memecoins has cooled, while discussions of institutional unlocking have gained traction on social media. On the night of March 2, Trump announced plans to establish a strategic crypto reserve, explicitly mentioning BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. This statement briefly reignited market sentiment amid oversold conditions, triggering a sharp crypto rebound. However, macroeconomic conditions remain largely unchanged, and liquidity recovery is a gradual process. The rally sparked by Trump's comments quickly faded, suggesting the market may still face further downsides. The following recommendations highlight projects worth monitoring in the current cycle, though they may not yet have reached an optimal entry point.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe recent decline in the crypto industry stems from several key factors. First, volatility in the macroeconomic environment—such as the sharp drop in US stocks and global market uncertainty—has weighed heavily on high-risk assets like Bitcoin. Second, an increase in hacker attacks, including a $1.5 billion cryptocurrency theft on February 22, triggered panic and led to over 170,000 liquidations. Third, rising regulatory pressure, such as the SEC’s increased scrutiny of cryptocurrencies in the US and restrictions on trading and mining in some countries, has further undermined investor confidence. Additionally, the market is in a consolidation phase, with many funds buying the dip in the short term but quickly exiting as risk appetite declines. Finally, Bitcoin's failure to break through key resistance levels has led to weak demand and network activity, while ETF outflows have exacerbated the downward pressure. These combined factors have created short-term strain on the crypto market, contributing to its decline. As a result, this edition focuses on Earn-related products.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsRecently, BTC has weakened, altcoins have declined across the board, and trading volume on the Solana blockchain has continued to shrink. Daily transaction volume on Solana has hit new yearly lows, with over $200 million in sell-offs on pump.fun in just over two months since the start of the year. Additionally, the hype surrounding Argentina's president-related memecoin last weekend drained additional liquidity from the Solana network. Adding to investor concerns, a large amount of SOL is set to be unlocked on March 1, exacerbating deteriorating sentiment and leading to a noticeable decline in market wealth effects. Against this backdrop, investors are advised to reduce leverage, manage risk, and reserve funds for potential dip-buying opportunities. This edition highlights several USDT-based, SOL-based, and BTC-based Earn products, offering investors a diverse range of investment options.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsCurrently, the two main drivers of liquidity into the crypto market are ETF net inflows and new stablecoin issuances. Recently, several U.S. financial giants have applied to launch spot ETFs for assets such as XRP and LTC. If approved, these ETFs could present a significant opportunity for both the assets and the broader crypto market. Investors may consider positioning themselves early, particularly during market downturns, to capitalize on potential bullish catalysts.
- 06:45Market Report: BTC Strongly Surpasses $93,000, Altcoins Broadly RiseMarket report as of April 24th: The total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market reached $2.92 trillion, up 0.85% from the previous day. BTC surged above $94,500 before a brief pullback, still at its highest price level in nearly two months; yesterday, BTC ETF saw an inflow of $917 million in a single day, with a cumulative net inflow of over $2 billion this week; ETH is currently consolidating around $1,800, with the ETH/BTC exchange rate rising by 10% in the short term, ETHD rebounding to 7.4%; the overall long-short ratio is 0.98, with the bearish forces at their lowest in 24 hours; after a general rise, altcoins have adjusted, and the AI agent and meme sectors still perform significantly better than other sectors; NEIROETH, TURBO, BRETT, and MUBARAK rose in the Meme sector, while the official Trump meme coin TRUMP surged, leading to a similar surge for Melania's meme coin MELANIA.
- 06:44Analyst: The Number of Addresses Depositing Bitcoin to Exchanges Has Been Steadily Declining Since 2022CryptoQuant analyst @AxelAdlerJr posted data on social media indicating that since 2022, the number of addresses depositing Bitcoin to exchanges has been steadily declining: the 30-day moving average has currently dropped to 52,000 addresses, while the 365-day average level is 71,000 addresses. Meanwhile, over the past decade, the most common distribution was around 92,000 addresses, with the current number of addresses equivalent to the level in December 2016. This trend is inherently bullish because investors have reduced Bitcoin sales by fourfold over the past three years. Essentially, this represents a growing HODL sentiment, which significantly decreases selling pressure and lays the foundation for further growth.
