1. Market Environment

Yesterday, Bitcoin briefly dipped below $62,000. The market continues to experience a downward and volatile trend, with a weakening of wealth effects, necessitating caution from investors. Additionally, yesterday, nine Bitcoin ETFs collectively added 2372 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $147.78 million, marking several days of net inflows. Data from CryptoQuant indicates a 7.6% decrease in Bitcoin hashrate, reaching its lowest level since December 2022. Other indicators, such as Bitcoin exchange reserves, the Miners' Position Index (MPI), and Bitcoin miner reserves also suggest that the market may have reached its bottom, indicating low selling pressure for Bitcoin.
Regarding the market, The ETF Store predicts that the spot Ethereum ETF could launch around the week of July 15. An SEC commissioner has called for an update to the Form S-1 to better accommodate the unique characteristics of cryptocurrencies.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – New Tokens (ZRO and ZK)

Primary reasons:
The new tokens, such as ZRO and ZK, have not followed the general market's downward trend, with their prices significantly below pre-market expectations amidst negative market sentiment. As this sentiment gradually stabilized, investment and pricing returned to rational levels, providing strong support for ZRO and ZK during the general decline of altcoins.
Gainers: Within the last 24 hours, ZRO and ZK have risen by 3.4% and 3%, respectively.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
Whether new token projects like LayerZero and ZKsync can release further positive news to stabilize their coin prices, and the extent to which negative market sentiment is absorbed, will directly impact the prices of new tokens.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next – ETH Ecosystem (ENS and SSV)

Primary reasons:
  • Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, has predicted the launch timing of the spot Ethereum ETF. He states that Bloomberg still forecasts a mid-July launch, with the revised S-1 forms expected to be submitted on July 8, and the final S-1 forms possibly submitted by July 12, potentially leading to a launch during the week of July 15.
  • Despite the news on June 29 indicating that the U.S. SEC considers Lido and Rocket Pool staking projects as securities, leading to a drop in LDO and RPL, it did not prevent the rise of ETH ecosystem tokens such as ENS and SSV during the market rebound, with ENS reaching a new high over the past 29 months.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
The situation surrounding the spot Ethereum ETF will directly influence the price of ETH and the trajectory of prominent projects in the Ethereum ecosystem. Additionally, following the SEC's announcement that it considers the Lido and Rocket Pool staking projects as securities, whether it will similarly classify projects like SSV as securities could significantly impact this segment of the market.

Global focus:
Pendle: According to Bitget market data, PENDLE broke below $4.1 and is now quoted at $4.08, with a 24-hour decline of 17.4%. The primary reason for the declineis the conclusion of the Pendle market for Ether.Fi's eETH, Renzo's ezETH, Puffer's pufETH, Kelp's rsETH, and Swell's rswETH last Thursday. Last week, Pendle's TVL decreased by 40%, with over $3 billion in user funds outflow.
Regional focus:
(1) Yesterday, no significant altcoins stood out across various Asian countries. The projects of interest varied widely, ranging from Layer 1 technologies and memecoins to market software, with little overlap between the countries.
(2) Europe and the Americas: English-speaking countries/regions maintain consistent interest in blockchains, with projects like INJ, SUI, and Monad remaining popular in searches. The USA showed significant interest in memecoins, with PEPE, HERO, and TRUMP making the list. European countries like the Netherlands and Poland continue to show a strong interest in Solana.

Sanctum
Sanctum, a Solana ecosystem LST protocol, officially announced the launch of its loyalty program, Sanctum Wonderland. Sanctum Wonderland aims to fully utilize SOL for profit through a gamified experience. Users can stake SOL to collect pets and earn experience points (EXP) to level up, earning EXP through their pets.
Previously, Sanctum, a liquid staking service protocol in the Solana ecosystem, completed an extended seed round of funding led by Dragonfly, with participation from Solana Ventures, CMS Holdings, DeFiance Capital, Genblock Capital, Jump Capital, and Marin Digital Ventures. The total funding has now reached $6.1 million.
How to participate: Open the link, connect your wallet, and enter the invitation code. Exchange SOL for Infinity and deposit at least 0.122 SOL, plus the 0.05 SOL transaction fee. Your wallet should have at least 0.172 SOL. Deposit at least 0.11 SOL for the pet to automatically grow and earn EXP. If the LST balance falls below 0.1 SOL, the pet will enter hibernation and stop earning EXP. It is recommended to deposit more than 1 SOL to earn 10 EXP per minute per SOL. You can withdraw at any time with very low gas fees.
