Odaily reports: Analyst Darkfost posted that since Bitcoin hit its peak last October, its maximum drawdown has reached 54%, and the current price is about 35% below the high. Over the same period, cumulative sell pressure in Binance's Meme coin sector has exceeded $1.4 billion, making it one of the sectors hardest hit in this bear market.
Darkfost noted that Meme coins lack fundamental support, with prices driven mainly by market sentiment and cultural trends. Currently, Meme coins' share of the total altcoin market cap has fallen to a historic low of less than 3%, reflecting continued liquidity outflow from the sector. He believes that Meme coins tend to face greater downside pressure during market corrections, and investors should be alert to related risks.

Odaily reports: In a 3.5-hour in-person conversation with Jin Ming, Justin Sun stated that Hyperliquid is one of the biggest new discoveries to emerge during this cycle, and its launch of US stock perpetual contracts has opened up new imaginative possibilities for the industry. As more and more projects move into US stock perpetual contracts, Hyperliquid is facing intensifying competition. Justin Sun believes that the key to future competition between DEXs and CEXs lies in how US regulators define Hyperliquid's regulatory boundaries; if it obtains a regulatory exemption similar to that of Uniswap, it is possible that a large number of CEXs could pivot to the DEX model. Conversely, if regulation tightens, Hyperliquid will face significant pressure. Hyperliquid's maturity in regulatory affairs and US domestic operations still cannot compare with onshore compliant entities such as Circle.
