Data collection time: August 2, 2024, 4:00 AM (UTC)
1. Market Environment
The US ISM Manufacturing PMI for July fell significantly more than economists anticipated, leading to interest rates dropping to multi-month lows. Additionally, the number of initial claims for unemployment insurance in the US has jumped to its highest level in about a year. These data further confirm that the US is on the verge of a monetary easing cycle by the Federal Reserve, which in some ways is a positive development for risk
markets.
Despite $26.2 million in net inflows into the spot Ethereum ETF and $50.4 million into the spot Bitcoin ETF yesterday, Bitcoin continues to trend downward. After reaching $70,000 earlier this week, it saw a significant pullback, with the price falling to a two-week low of $62,700 last night, indicating poor market sentiment in the short term.
2. Wealth Creation Sectors
2.1 Sector Movements – Curve-Related Tokens (CRV and CVX)
Primary reasons:
-
A significant whale activity was noted as 18 million CRV tokens, valued at $4.68 million at an average price of $0.26, were withdrawn from Binance and OKX within the last 30 hours. Additionally, the same whale withdrew another 5.5 million CRV tokens, worth approximately $1.51 million, from Binance.
Gainers: Over the past 24 hours, CRV and CVX rose by 7.46% and 5.38%, respectively.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
-
Curve remains one of the prime venues for stablecoin block trading and continues to maintain decent real profits. The main issue is that its narrative is somewhat outdated, lacking exciting new products or operations to stimulate the market. Additionally, recent incidents and liquidation have unavoidably raised concerns about its stability. However, considering that several whales bought CRV over-the-counter at prices above $0.30, the price of CRV remains attractive.
2.2 Sector Movements – Meme Sector (NEIRO)
Primary reasons:
-
NEIRO saw significant support from influencers, particularly those communicating in Japanese. With endorsements from influencers like @apipiro22, @mikky_8080, @yukimaru_potty, @BrotherMKT, @KookCapitalLLC, and @OfficialTravlad, who boast tens to hundreds of thousands of followers, NEIRO's price has significantly increased.
Gainers: NEIRO increased over 15% against the trend.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
-
On-chain activity: The valuation of DeFi infrastructure depends on whether the chain can maintain a stable top market share, i.e., active on-chain users and DEX trading volume. These are crucial for different chain's DEX, PERP, oracles, and liquidity staking projects. Investors should closely monitor such data to assess market valuation adjustments.
-
Financial aspects: Following the launch of the Ethereum ETF, market liquidity for ETH has gradually increased. As liquidity increases, related memecoins may see further price rises due to fund flows.
