1. Market Environment

Last week, the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance strengthened, leading to diminished expectations for rate cuts. The uncertainty in the market heightened due to the Fed’s alternating hawkish and dovish stances recently. Bitcoin displayed considerable resilience around its halving, quickly recovering from a brief drop caused by worsening conditions in the Middle East and stabilizing the price between $63,000 and $65,000 over the weekend.
Bitcoin halving was completed, and the Runes protocol went live on the Bitcoin network on the day of the halving, causing a significant increase in network transaction fees. SATOSHI•NAKAMOTO currently has 19,900 holders, making it the Runes asset with the highest number of holders and the strongest market consensus. However, the price of RuneStone crashed within two days of the protocol's launch, suggesting that the overall wealth effect of the Runes protocol did not meet the market's high expectations prior to the launch.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – Solana memecoins

Main reason: The market rebound, particularly in the memecoin sector, with Solana memecoins showing significant gains. On April 20, BONK DAO proposed burning over 278 billion BONK tokens, which represented all the BONK tokens earned from the revenue-sharing agreement with BonkBot since its launch at the end of 2023. BONK saw a significant increase of 32% on the same day, and other leading and mid-to-lower tier Solana memecoins also surged over the weekend.
Gainers: BONK rose by 32% in a single day on April 20, with the price of WIF breaking 3 USDT again. Lower tier memecoins on Solana like SOLAMA also saw significant increases over the weekend.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • The continuous growth of TVL in the Solana ecosystem and the performance of leading projects will directly affect the entire sector. Promotions by top projects in the Solana ecosystem, such as Jupiter and Backpack, that promote memecoin trading can also lead to high wealth effects for certain memecoins, like the increase in WEN token price during the early stages of the WEN trading promotion on Backpack.
  • The trends and major moves of the most recognized Solana memecoins, such as BONK, WIF, and BOME, will also have a significant impact on the entire sector.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next — Runes protocol

Main reason:
  • Even though the wealth effect from the Runes launch fell short of the market expectations, the surge in BTC network transaction fees has proven its popularity. From a technical perspective, the asset issuance in the Runes protocol is more streamlined and easier to manage, suggesting a potential to surpass other inscription assets in terms of popularity and market acceptance.
  • However, it is also important to note that many projects have reserved a substantial number of tokens during the issuance of Runes assets, which has resulted in the Runes not promoting a Fair Launch narrative like BRC-20 tokens. This lack of meme attributes might deter some investors from participating in such projects.
Specific tokens:
  • SATOSHI • NAKAMOTO

Regional focus:

Additionally, Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, recently appeared at Token2049, announcing the integration of the stablecoin USDT into the TON chain and revealing a narrative for tokenizing Telegram emojis. Given the TON chain's extensive user base combined with its openness and inclusiveness, it is highly worth investors' attention.

FLOKI has frequently become a trending word in the Middle East and Latin America, indicating a general high interest in memecoins in these regions. Additionally, FLOKI, being a major memecoin traded on local exchanges with local trading pairs, has a substantial user base.
