1. Market Environment

Over the past 24 hours, BTC has seen a one-sided rise, with its price climbing continuously from $64,000 to the current level of $66,000. On July 16, nine US spot Bitcoin ETFs added 5383 BTC, valued at $342.5 million. The assassination attempt on Donald Trump, which took place over the weekend, has driven market speculation around election-themed memecoins. Numerous new memecoins related to this theme emerged on the blockchain. Additionally, the AI sector also rebounded along with the broader market.
On the market front, the Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has informed asset management companies that the US spot Ethereum ETF could be launched on July 23. The SEC has preliminarily approved at least three asset management companies to trade Ethereum spot ETFs starting next Tuesday, with a total of eight firms hoping to launch such funds.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – AI Sector (WLD, TAO, and NEAR)

Primary reasons:
According to the Worldcoin official blog, Tools for Humanity announced an extension of the token lock-up period for early Worldcoin contributors. Starting July 24, 2024, the lock-up period for WLD tokens held by Tools for Humanity team members and investors will extend from the originally planned three years to five years.
Gainers: WLD has risen for two consecutive days, with a 24% increase in the past 24 hours. TAO rose by 7%, and NEAR by 5% during the same period.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Significant funding in the primary market: The Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) proceeded as scheduled in Brussels, with participating institutions closely monitoring developments in the AI sector. The AI model research project, Sentient, completed a financing of $85 million, drawing renewed market attention to the integration of AI with blockchain.
  • Positive news release: Projects like Near and Worldcoin have recently released favorable news, receiving positive market reactions. The Worldcoin Foundation previously announced it would launch the World Chain, with potential new developments in the next two months. Worldcoin developers are also attempting to collaborate with PayPal and OpenAI.

2.2 Sector Movements — Memecoin Sector (PEPE, WIF, and FLOKI)

Primary reasons:
This bull market's core theme revolves around institutional and retail investors not holding each other's bags. Retail investors prefer fairly distributed, simple, and easy-to-understand memecoins, including market leaders like PEPE, WOJAK, WIF, and FLOKI. The pursuit of these memecoins by retail investors, combined with the hype generated by related groups, has led to an exceptionally strong performance of memecoins in this cycle.
Gainers: PEPE, WIF, and FLOKI have risen by 6%, 7%, and 6% respectively within 24 hours.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Community information: Memecoin operations significantly influence market movements. Stay updated on AMA sessions and X posts for timely trading opportunities.
  • Open interest volume increase: Users can check the futures data on tv.coinglass to understand the movements of whales. Over the past 24 hours, the open interest volume of PEPE has surged by 30%, mainly due to the increase in net long positions. The long/short ratio (accounts) has dropped below 1, indicating whales are going long on PEPE through futures. Keep a close eye on subsequent changes in futures data.

2.3 Sectors to Focus on Next – ETH Ecosystem Projects (UNI, LDO, PEPE)

Primary reasons:
The spot Ethereum ETF is expected to officially debut on the U.S. capital market on July 23, presenting potential speculative trading opportunities for ETH ecosystem assets. The sector has recently experienced a significant pullback, falling out of expected levels.
Specific tokens:
  • UNI: The first DeFi Swap project on the blockchain, Uniswap, has generated an average daily revenue of around $1 million.
  • LDO: A leading LSD project within the ETH ecosystem, with a TVL of $29.6 billion and a valuation of just under $1.8 billion, indicating it is relatively undervalued.
  • PEPE: Currently the most hyped memecoin in the Ethereum ecosystem, PEPE boasts a strong community base. Its price is likely to follow ETH's upward trend.
