1. Market Environment

Last week, the spot BTC ETFs saw net inflows for five consecutive days, offsetting the total outflows from April in the past two weeks. BTC rose 9% in a week, fluctuating around $67,000. CME FedWatch data indicates a 91.1% probability of the Fed holding rates steady in June and a 70.4% probability in August. The SEC will make a decision on the spot Ethereum ETF this week, with current market expectations being pessimistic, although this pessimism might already be priced in, meaning ETH is unlikely to see a sharp short-term drop even if not approved.
Over the weekend, the Memecoin sector saw a significant decline, with other altcoins also performing poorly and the market lacking hot spots. LayerZero Labs released its first list of potential sybil addresses, containing 800,000 entries. zkSync officials indicated that governance is expected to be handed over by the end of June, possibly suggesting an airdrop could occur at that time.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sectors to Focus on Next — Memecoin Sector

Primary reasons:
  • Memecoins are one of the main drivers of the current market trend. If the pullback continues, top memecoins will offer a favorable entry point.
  • Over the weekend, a Wintermute address spent 2000 SOL to buy MANEKI at a price of $0.0098. VCs and market makers began speculating on memecoins.
Specific projects:
WIF, PEPE, BOME, MEW, MANEKI, and others.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next — Fan Token Sector

Primary reasons:
  • Over the past month, many altcoins saw their prices halved, while fan tokens fell about 5%, showing relative resilience.
  • Upcoming events like the European Championship, Copa America, and the Olympics provide excellent opportunities to speculate on fan tokens.
  • Recent movements in certain fan tokens include Tottenham's SPURS token, which rose 14% on Sunday against the trend, and Galatasaray's GAL token, which saw an eightfold increase in trading volume without a price increase, primarily due to significant improvements in market making on the Turkish exchange Paribu.
Specific projects:
CHZ, SANTOS, LAZIO, ARG, PSG, and SPURS.
