1. Market Environment
BTC briefly surged past $68,000, showing an increase of 0.8% over the last 24 hours. The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.196 billion last week, marking its third consecutive week of net inflows. Specifically, on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday of last week, inflows were $300.9 million, $422.5 million, and $383.6 million respectively. Year-to-date, net inflows into these ETFs reached $17 billion for the first time since their launch six months ago. Currently, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, has a trading volume nearing $1.2 billion, and Fidelity's FBTC exceeds $410 million in daily trading volume. These figures indicate a growing confidence and recognition among investors in spot Bitcoin ETFs, reflecting genuine demand rather than mere market hype.
During BTC's influence on the broader market rebound, no sectors have shown strong resilience. Previously well-performing sectors such as AI, Solana ecosystem, and other chain sectors have shown some rebound strength recently. With the likely approval of the spot Ethereum ETF tomorrow, signaling a new shift in crypto regulation, the performance of Ethereum-led Layer 2 sectors is particularly promising.
2. Wealth Creation Sectors
2.1 Sector Movements – Blue Chip Blockchains (AVAX, APT, and SOL)
Primary reasons:
With BTC returning to the $68,000 mark, the wealth effect from the market has extended to major chain tokens, with some Layer 1 and Layer 2 projects experiencing positive developments. This wealth effect circulates within their ecosystems, creating potential buying demand for these chain assets.
Gainers: APT increased by over 5% in the last 24 hours; AVAX saw a 12% gain in the same period; SOL also rose by over 5%.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
-
Continued increase in TVL: According to DeFiLlama, Solana's TVL has reached $5.15 billion, ranking just behind Ethereum and Tron, with a 7-day growth rate of 13.7%. Over the past 24 hours, NFT sales on the Solana chain neared $6 million, surpassing Ethereum to rank first. During this period, Solana's NFT sales reached $5,821,706, an increase of 55.7%, while Ethereum's were $3,666,892, a decrease of 21.53%. Bitcoin ranked third, with sales of approximately $2.902 million, a decrease of 19.89%. Avalanche's TVL stands at $710 million; its NFT sales exceeded $28.3 million, a tenfold increase year-over-year. The total market cap of stablecoins reached $1.6 billion, with USDT and USDC increasing by 10.1% and 4.4%, respectively, year-over-year.
-
Ongoing ecosystem development: In the second quarter, although Solana's DeFi TVL in USD terms decreased by 9% to $4.5 billion, ranking fourth in the network, its DeFi TVL measured in SOL increased by 26%. This indicates that capital confidence in Solana remained strong during the second quarter, without significant outflows. Additionally, the introduction of Blinks functionality at the end of the second quarter signifies ongoing efforts to expand the Solana ecosystem.
2.2 Sector Movements – Ethereum Layer 2 Sector (ARB, OP, and STRK)
Primary reasons:
The anticipation of the Ethereum ETF set to trade on July 23 has positively impacted Ethereum Layer 2 tokens, leading to a general rise in their values. The market perceives the potential approval of the Ethereum ETF as a positive development for Layer 2 tokens. Thus, while watching the ETF developments, investors are also advised to keep an eye on investment opportunities in related Layer 2 tokens.
Gainers: ARB has increased by 8% over the last seven days, OP by 8.5%, and STRK by 7%.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
-
Successful listing of the ETH ETF: The market has largely priced in the Ethereum ETF. Should there be unexpected developments in the ETF listing tomorrow, a trend reversal might occur.
-
Development of Layer 2 projects: As a widely used chain ecosystem, the future development of Layer 2 depends on its collaboration with projects and user growth.
2.3 Sectors to Focus on Next – ETH Ecosystem Projects (UNI and LDO)
Primary reasons:
The spot Ethereum ETF is expected to officially debut on the U.S. capital market on July 23, presenting potential speculative trading opportunities for ETH ecosystem assets. The president of ETF Store stated that the SEC's approval of the Ethereum spot ETF would strongly suggest that ETH is considered a commodity rather than a security. This marks a milestone moment, indicating that crypto assets can transition from being classified as securities to commodities over time.
Specific tokens:
-
UNI: The first DeFi Swap project on the blockchain, Uniswap, has generated an average daily revenue of around $1 million.
-
LDO: A leading LSD project within the ETH ecosystem. It has a TVL of $29.6 billion but is relatively undervalued at just under $1.8 billion.
