1. Market Environment

Bitcoin (BTC) plummeted below $56,000 during the early morning hours, with a 24-hour decline expanding to nearly 5.8%, marking the lowest price since early May. During this sell-off, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox's wallet showed activity for the first time in a month. Additionally, the German government transferred over $75 million to cryptocurrency exchanges, with these funds being moved to Kraken and Coinbase, indicating a clear intent to sell.
The compounded sell-off information has resulted in a pessimistic market with poor liquidity, and it is advised for investors to adopt a wait-and-see approach in the near term.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sectors to Focus on Next — ETH Ecosystem

Primary reasons:
  • The planned listing of the spot Ethereum ETF on July 4 did not materialize, leading to a decline in some tokens within the Ethereum ecosystem. However, there remains a chance for the ETF to launch in mid-July, presenting a potential rebound opportunity for these tokens due to an oversold bounce.
  • James Seyffart, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, mentioned in a social media post that the asset management company Bitwise has submitted a revised S-1 form for their spot Ethereum ETF, a few days ahead of the July 8 deadline. He also mentioned that they expect other issuers to submit more revised S-1 forms this week, and that these products could likely hit the market later next week or during the week of the 15th.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
Two core factors will primarily influence the token prices of Ethereum ecosystem projects: 1. Whether the spot Ethereum ETF can be listed soon; 2. The regulatory stance of the U.S. SEC on certain projects. If the spot Ethereum ETF is approved and begins trading by mid-July, it would be significantly beneficial for all projects within the Ethereum ecosystem; otherwise, unmet expectations may lead to market sell-offs.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next — AI Sector

Primary reasons:
  • Recently launched AI infrastructure projects like IO and ATH have garnered widespread attention. These projects, serving as platforms, can generate stable cash flows. Additionally, the AI narrative, being at the core of global technology discourse, continually enhances the valuation of AI projects in the crypto industry.
  • Due to the recent market downturn, tokens within the AI sector have experienced significant pullbacks, with short-term market sentiment leading to overselling. A rebound in market conditions is expected to bring a strong recovery in value.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • AI narrative: Projects like IO and ATH are AI computational power supply platforms, classified as infrastructure projects. If these projects can establish partnerships with mainstream technology companies, such as with Apple, Microsoft, or Nvidia, the valuation of their tokens could naturally increase.
  • Core data on ecosystem development: For platform-type projects, cash flow is relatively transparent. If the demand for the platforms continue to develop healthily and produce stable cash flows, the valuation of their tokens will enter a positive cycle.
