I. Outlook
1. Macro-Level Summary and Future Predictions
This Week's Macro Summary (2026/7/20–2026/7/26)
This week, global macro markets revolved around three main themes: central bank policies, energy prices, and trade frictions. The European Central Bank maintained a cautious hawkish stance. Against the backdrop of energy prices rebounding due to Middle East tensions and inflation still above target, the market has begun to reprice expectations for further rate hikes. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve entered a quiet period before its FOMC meeting, shifting market focus to the end-of-July FOMC conference. Meanwhile, preliminary July PMI data from the U.S., Europe, and the UK generally indicated economic resilience, though business confidence in the manufacturing sector was dragged down by high interest rates, tariffs, and geopolitical factors. Concurrently, the U.S. expanded tariff measures, and recurring tensions in the Middle East drove oil prices to spike, reigniting global inflation expectations, leading to higher bond yields and a cooling of market risk appetite.
Next Week's Forecast (2026/7/27–2026/8/2)
The coming week will present the most critical macro window of this period. Key central bank meetings, including those of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan, will be held consecutively. Among these, the Fed's interest rate decision on July 30 is expected to be a core driver for global asset prices. The market will focus more on its guidance regarding future rate paths rather than an immediate rate adjustment. Additionally, U.S. PCE inflation data, preliminary non-farm payroll figures, Eurozone GDP, and inflation data will further verify whether the global economy continues the pattern of "slowing growth with sticky inflation." If energy prices stay elevated and trade frictions continue to escalate, the probability of the Fed and other central banks maintaining a hawkish stance will increase further. Global risk assets are expected to remain highly volatile in the short term, with the market more closely monitoring the impact of macro policy changes on liquidity and risk appetite.
2. Crypto Market Movements and Alerts
This week, the crypto market showed an overall trend of volatile recovery. BTC opened around $65,200 at the start of the week. Influenced by renewed inflows into U.S. spot ETFs and improved expectations for crypto regulation, it briefly rose above $66,000. However, it subsequently fell back due to declining macro risk appetite, settling around $64,000 by the weekend. The overall weekly trading range was approximately $63,000 to $66,000. ETH underperformed compared to BTC, opening near $1,900 early in the week and then retreating to consolidate in the $1,850-$1,900 range. Market capital remained primarily concentrated on BTC ETFs and institutional allocation directions. The main market drivers this week came from two aspects: first, consecutive days of net capital inflows into BTC spot ETFs, improving market liquidity expectations.
In the coming week (July 27 – August 2), the market will focus on the Fed's FOMC meeting, the sustainability of ETF inflows, and changes in macro liquidity. The key short-term levels for BTC are the support at $63,000 and the resistance at $66,000: if ETF inflows continue and BTC breaks above $66,000, the market may test the $68,000 to $70,000 range; if it falls below $63,000, a retracement to support near $60,000 is possible. For ETH, the short-term focus is on the support at $1,850 and the resistance at $2,000. If funds flow back into ETH ETFs, DeFi, and on-chain application ecosystems, it could drive an ETH rebound.
3. Industry and Sector Hotspots
From July 20 to July 26, 2026, the crypto industry hotspots revolved around RWA, stablecoins, AI Agents, and institutional-grade financial infrastructure. The RWA sector continues to be a key area for institutional capital deployment. Market focus is shifting from simple asset tokenization to asset infrastructure with real yield, liquidity, and DeFi composability. Tokenized treasuries, fund shares, and credit assets remain the primary directions.
The stablecoin ecosystem continues to evolve towards payment and financial infrastructure. More projects are building underlying networks centered around stablecoin settlement, cross-border payments, and institutional capital management, driving the crypto industry from being trading-driven to financial application-driven. The AI + Crypto sector continues to focus on autonomous execution by AI Agents, on-chain payments, and smart asset management. The industry's focus is gradually shifting from concept hype to verifiable automated execution capabilities and practical application scenarios.
In terms of funding and industry partnerships, traditional financial institutions continue to accelerate their entry into the digital asset space. Institutional-grade trading, asset tokenization, and compliant infrastructure are becoming the focus of capital, with the trend of Crypto and TradFi convergence strengthening further.
II. Market Hot Sectors and Potential Projects of the Week
1. Overview of Potential Projects
1.1. Brief Analysis of Project with Unknown Total Funding, Led by Renowned VC YZiLabs, with Participation from Finality, L2IV, SNZ, and the Rollup – Building a Unified Trading Network for Global Stablecoin and Forex Liquidity: Mobius Exchange
Introduction
Mobius is a Prime Brokerage Layer in the DeFi space, offering users Unified Margin, Cross-Collateralization, and the ability to trade with leverage across multiple perpetual DEXs and blockchain ecosystems.
Mobius aims to become the prime brokerage infrastructure for DeFi. By integrating different trading platforms and on-chain liquidity, it allows users to trade within a unified account system without needing to manage funds and margins separately across multiple protocols.
With Mobius, users can:
- Manage multiple positions with unified margin
- Use different assets as shared collateral
- Flexibly allocate leverage across multiple perpetual exchanges
- Execute trading operations across multiple blockchain ecosystems
This provides capital efficiency and a trading experience comparable to hedge funds in traditional finance.
Protocol Mechanism Overview
Mobius connects Lenders, Borrowers/Traders, Credit Accounts, Venue Accounts, and external perpetual exchanges through its unified margin account system, enabling cross-platform capital management and leveraged trading.
Core Participants (Roles)
Lenders (Capital Providers / LPs)
LPs provide funds to Mobius's lending market.
Their yield comes from:
- Interest paid by borrowers
- Returns from capital utilization driven by platform borrowing demand
Borrowers (Traders / Strategy Executors)
Users can:
- Open a Credit Account
- Deposit collateral
- Borrow funds
- Execute trading strategies
Supported collateral assets include:
- Stablecoins
- BTC
- ETH
- Yield Assets
Executors
Executors are off-chain service providers.
Their main responsibilities are:
- Relaying on-chain trading intents to external trading platforms
- Executing trades
- Synchronizing results back on-chain
Importantly:
Executors never custody user funds.
Their role is limited to information relay and state synchronization.
Transaction Lifecycle
1. Lend (Provide Liquidity)
LPs deposit assets into the lending pool.
The system makes these funds available for borrowing by traders.
LPs consistently earn interest based on borrowing demand.
2. Open a Credit Account
Traders first create a:
Credit Account
This is Mobius's core account system.
It primarily tracks:
- Collateral
- Borrowed amount
- Risk parameters
- Health Factor
The system continuously checks:
All operations must maintain sufficient collateralization.
To avoid bad debt risk in the account.
3. Open a Venue Account
Within the Credit Account,
users can further create a:
Venue Account
Used to connect to specific trading venues.
Supports:
- Spot Trading
- Perpetual Futures Trading (Perps)
- Yield Vaults
4. Bind External Venues
Via the:
Venue Account Model
Users can bind their Credit Account to multiple external perpetual trading platforms.
These include:
- Hyperliquid
- GMX
- Vertex
- Drift
- and other Perp DEXs
The system consists of:
Onchain Driver
Responsible for:
- Managing account lifecycle
- Maintaining on-chain state
Offchain Executor
Responsible for:
- Interacting with external exchanges
- Executing trading instructions
- Returning execution results
5. Execute Strategies
Mobius allows users to run complex strategies.
For example:
Delta Neutral Carry Trade
Combining:
- On-chain yield assets
- Perpetual futures hedging positions
To simultaneously capture:
- Base yield
- Funding rate yield
While reducing directional market risk.
6. Unified Accounting
This is one of Mobius's core innovations.
In traditional DeFi:
- Wallet balances
- Perpetual positions
- External platform assets
Are typically independent.
Mobius calculates them uniformly:
Credit Account Equity
Including:
- On-chain collateral
- Venue Account funds
- Perpetual position value
- Account snapshot data
Together forming the:
Global Health Factor
Therefore:
Assets in external trading accounts can also serve as collateral.
Significantly enhancing capital efficiency.
7. Rebalance
Since:
- Credit Account
- Venue Account
Are essentially two independent margin systems,
dynamic fund allocation is needed.
Users or automated bots (Rebalancers) will:
- Transfer funds between the two accounts
- Adjust margin levels
- Maintain a safe Health Factor
To prevent position liquidation.

Lending System
Money Market Model
- LPs deposit assets like USDC into the lending pool to earn interest.
- Borrowers use Credit Accounts to borrow funds for trading and strategy execution.
- It employs a Non-Rehypothecation design, meaning collateral is not re-lent out but remains in the borrower's account, reducing systemic risk and simplifying the liquidation process.
Markets
- Each market consists of Collateral assets and Debt Tokens.
- The first Core Market supports:
- Collateral: BTC, ETH, Exchange Native Tokens
- Borrowing Asset: USDC
- Future Permissionless Markets will allow the community to create custom lending markets.
Interest Rate Model
- Low Utilization: Lower borrowing rates to attract demand.
- High Utilization: Higher borrowing rates to encourage repayments and attract more liquidity.
- Kink Point: When utilization surpasses a set threshold, interest rates rise rapidly to protect pool liquidity.
Core Value
Mobius's lending system essentially acts as the liquidity foundation for its Prime Brokerage architecture. Through a unified capital pool, non-rehypothecation mechanism, and dynamic interest rate model, it enhances capital efficiency while achieving risk isolation, supporting cross-platform unified margin and leveraged trading.
Credit Account
Core Positioning
The Credit Account is a dedicated smart contract wallet created for each borrower on Mobius, and is the core of the entire unified margin system.
Its main functions are:
- Holding user collateral and borrowed funds
- Executing on-chain transactions and strategies
- Managing risk and leverage
- Unified calculation of account Health Factor
Although users can trade with borrowed funds, the loaned funds always remain within the account system, so the protocol as a whole remains in an over-collateralized state.
Account Architecture
The Credit Account consists of two parts:
① User Interface
Responsible for:
- Opening accounts
- Depositing collateral
- Borrowing
- Executing trades
- Closing accounts
② Risk Engine
Responsible for:
- Monitoring account balances
- Calculating Health Factor (HF)
- Managing adapter permissions
- Triggering liquidations
All operations must be verified by the Risk Engine.
Permitted Assets
Each Credit Account belongs to a specific market.
For example, if a market supports:
- BTC
- ETH
As collateral, and USDC as the borrowing asset,
then the account can only hold:
- BTC
- <
