Gate Ventures: Amidst a correction in mainstream assets, on-chain infrastructure and new roadmaps become the focus of industry attention.

According to the latest Gate Ventures Crypto Weekly Report, the market was under pressure this week, with major assets leading the decline. BTC fell 9.9% for the week, and ETH dropped 13.67%. On-chain sentiment weakened significantly, with the Fear & Greed Index falling to 14, entering the extreme fear zone. The ETH/BTC ratio continued to decline to 0.033. The overall crypto market capitalization declined by 9.4%, with BTC and ETH experiencing the largest pullbacks. Other assets generally followed suit, but privacy tokens bucked the trend and strengthened. The top 30 assets saw an average decline of approximately 12%, with only a few coins recording gains.

In terms of industry dynamics, multiple technology roadmaps and infrastructure updates continue to advance. For example, the price of the new payment infrastructure project remained stable in its first week after launch; several technology teams announced new version roadmaps covering areas such as cross-chain capabilities, structured design of risky assets, and expansion of on-chain settlement; meanwhile, discussions on collaborations surrounding AI, robotics, on-chain foreign exchange, and institutional-grade clearing mechanisms are expanding, bringing more attention to medium- to long-term application scenarios. Regarding financing, 11 transactions were disclosed this week, totaling approximately $132 million, primarily concentrated in the DeFi, infrastructure, and data sectors.
