2. $ETH: Weak Pattern Unchanged, Staking ETF Encounters Obstacles

- 📉 Asymmetric Price Movements: Weekly gains are only 1/3 of BTC's, with losses more pronounced (yesterday's pullback 3.5% vs BTC 1.8%), the SEC delays Grayscale's Ethereum spot ETF staking approval, accelerating capital outflow from the ecology;

- 🔄 Waiting for Breakthrough Signals: L2 network Abstract sees a 130% surge in users, but the $BIG token plummets by 80% from its highs, reflecting caution from funds toward short-term speculative trading.

3. $SOL: Staking ETF Drives Ecological Prosperity

- 🚀 Canadian ETF Launch: The first Solana ETF supporting staking goes live this week (annualized return 6%-8%), combined with expectations for applications from three major U.S. institutions (Fidelity, VanEck, etc.), price volatility expands to 20% (BTC at 12% during the same period);

- 🔗 On-Chain Data Support: TVL surpasses $5.5 billion (30% monthly increase), but the founder of DeFiance Capital warns that 'project parties collude with market makers to manipulate prices' poses systemic risk.

II. Regulation and Policy: Deepening Games and Liquidity Challenges

2. Macroeconomic Disturbances

- 📉 Employment Market Warning: The Federal Reserve's spokesperson states the probability of rising unemployment rates in the next 12 months reaches a new cycle high, and the Galaxy report shows CeFi loan sizes have dropped 68% from their peaks, putting pressure on industry liquidity;

- 💶 Stablecoin Landscape Change: Circle issues Euro stablecoin EURC with supply hitting a new high, potentially capturing USDT's market share in Europe.

III. Ecological and Capital Trends: Security Events and Narrative Switching

1. Frequent Security Vulnerabilities

- 💥 KiloEx Hacking Incident: Perpetual contract DEX suffered an attack resulting in a loss of $7.5 million, exposing risk control deficiencies in less than a month since TGE, putting DeFi insurance protocols under pressure;

- ⚠️ Market Maker Manipulation Allegations: The founder of DeFiance Capital alleges that project parties conspire with market makers to pump prices, exacerbating the trust crisis of small and mid-cap tokens.

2. Market Sentiment and Capital Flows

- 😨 Low Panic Index: Today's value is 38 (0-100), remaining in the 'panic range' for 15 consecutive days, but whale bottom fishing and institutional product innovations (like staking ETFs) may brew a reversal;

- 🌍 Geopolitical Variables: The Trump family deepens cryptocurrency layout (Eric Trump attends TOKEN2049), and policy games may become the main line for the market in the second half of the year.

📌 Core Conclusion: The market enters a 'low volatility - high differentiation' phase, with BTC becoming a liquidity anchor, SOL breaking through with staking ETF narratives, and ETH needing to wait for a regulatory breakthrough; be vigilant of security incidents and liquidity risks in the short term, and focus on compliance and geopolitical variables in the long term.
