1. Market environment

Yesterday, after falling below $62,000, Bitcoin quickly rebounded to $63,000-64,000 and remained in a narrow range. Altcoins remained weak and their prices continued to fall. Bitcoin spot ETFs had a total net outflow of $58.03 million yesterday, with net outflows for two consecutive days. GBTC had a net outflow of $79.38 million in a single day.

On the macro level, the futures market shows that the markets expectations for the Feds rate cuts have further declined after Powells comments on inflation. Investors are now betting that there will only be one or two rate cuts this year, with an expected rate cut of around 40 basis points. There is no positive news for the cryptocurrency market at the macro level. The market correction continues. Under the general decline of the cottage market, some Solana Meme coins such as MEW have strong gains, indicating that funds are grouped together. In addition, with the European Cup approaching, you can pay attention to the football fan token sector.

2. Wealth-making sector

1) Sector changes: new generation of popular MEME (SLERF, MEW, BOME)

The main reason is that during the market crash, the wealth effect of altcoins generally weakened, and there were memes of whale wallets and smart money bottom-fishing. The overall popular memes rose strongly in the rebound.

Rising situation: In the past 24 hours, SLERF rose 4%, MEW rose 36.9%, the increase in the past three days was about 250%, and BOME rose 1%;

Factors affecting the market outlook:

  • Solana Ecosystem TVL and Capital Inflow: Currently, Solana Ecosystem TVL has exceeded 4.7 billion US dollars, and has risen by more than 100% in the past month. Currently, it is second only to ETH, TRON and BSC. If funds continue to flow in, the overall ecological currency price will rise further. At the same time, the speed of listing Solana tokens on various exchanges has significantly accelerated. The secondary market funds flowing into the exchange will also indirectly affect the Solana Ecosystem TVL.

  • Subsequent increase of MEW: For Solana Ecosystem Meme Token, the newly launched MEW is expected to break the ceiling, with a rapid increase. The token was very strong in the rebound after the market crash, doubling in a single day, and then OKX was launched. Due to the large amount of early airdrops, the project party is likely to have not yet made a profit on the asset, so the project party has the motivation to pull the market again to make liquidity and sell the token for profit.

2) Sector changes: New assets in the BTC ecosystem (RUNE, CKB, STX)

The main reason: the halving is imminent and the BTC ecosystem is active. The founder Casey’s genuine Runes protocol will be officially launched around the 20th of this month.

Rising situation: In the past 24 hours, Runestone rose by 8%, breaking through 5,000 US dollars again. CKB and STX fell less than other altcoins in the past 24 hours.

Factors affecting the market outlook:

  • Updates from BTC core developer Casey and other related project parties: Pay attention to the project party’s Twitter and TG/DC news releases. During the BTC halving period, the possibility of BTC ecological projects releasing positive news is very high. It is necessary to pay attention to the release of project news in a timely manner. The new asset protocol Runes is about to be launched on the mainnet, and there may be speculation on hot assets in the ecosystem;

  • CKB and STX have attracted much attention from the market during the halving period: CKB is favored as a UTXO Stack prototype project and is considered one of the best representatives of Bitcoin Layer 2 technology. Recently, asset issuance protocols based on RGB++ have gradually emerged, bringing a wealth-creating effect to the ecosystem. STX chose the threshold signature algorithm token T, and with the Nakamoto upgrade of STX on the 15th of this month, there is speculation in the market. In addition, the halving of Bitcoin will also bring new changes, and miners income will be further reduced, requiring ecological prosperity to support income transformation. Investors can pay attention to the flow of funds in the ecosystem to assist investment decisions.

3) The sector that needs to be focused on in the future: football fan tokens

The main reason: With the opening of the European Cup/Americas Cup approaching, the fan token sector began to warm up one and a half months in advance. During the market decline, the fan token sector was relatively resilient. The top tokens in the sector fell by about 10% in the past 7 days, which was stronger than the general 7-day decline of altcoins. SANTOS rose 30% in the past 24 hours, PSG rose 10%, and other fan tokens also rose sharply in a short period of time before falling back.

Specific currency list:

  • SANTOS: Santos FC Fan Token is a fan token of Santos Football Club based on BSC. Santos Football Club is a well-known Brazilian team. The token SANTOS was launched on Binance Launchpool and currently has the highest market value in the fan token sector.

  • PSG: Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token is the fan token of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club. It recently became the first Chiliz Chain node validator and pledged to repurchase PSG fan tokens with 100% of its accrued revenue.

  • LAZIO: Lazio Fan Token is a fan token of Lazio Football Club issued based on BSC and is also a Binance Launchpad project. The current FDV is 120 million US dollars.
