1. 【Weak U.S. Employment Data Triggers Rate Cut Expectations】（Importance: 40%）
Content: The U.S. ADP employment numbers increased by only 37,000 in May, far below the expected 114,000, marking the lowest level since March 2023; initial jobless claims rose to 240,000, and continuing claims reached 1.919 million, both exceeding expectations. Trump publicly pressured Federal Reserve Chairman Powell to 'immediately cut interest rates.'
Analysis: The data strengthens the market's pessimistic expectations for tonight's initial claims data (expected 235,000 → 241,000) and tomorrow's non-farm payrolls (expected 130,000). If initial claims data exceeds expectations again, the probability of a rate cut by the Fed in September could rise to 70%, but in the short term, it may trigger panic over the contraction of dollar liquidity, putting continued pressure on BTC as a risk asset.
2. 【BlackRock's 'Abandon BTC, Buy ETH' Strategy Deepens】（Importance: 30%）
Content: BlackRock increased its holdings by 214,000 ETH (worth $560 million) in the past 24 hours, with the cumulative increase since May 11 accounting for 18% of the total ETH ETF holdings. Meanwhile, the BTC ETF saw a net outflow of approximately $120 million in one day.
Analysis: Institutional funds continue to flow from BTC to ETH, reflecting the market's bet on Ethereum's ecosystem upgrade (such as Consensys' sovereign-level cooperation). The ETH/BTC exchange rate rose to 0.0245; if it breaks 0.025, it will accelerate the migration of funds, and BTC may temporarily lose support at $104,000.
3. 【Regulatory Game Intensifies Market Divergence】（Importance: 20%）
Content: The U.S. Treasury held a Financial Stability Oversight Council meeting to discuss the regulatory framework for digital assets; Consensys CEO revealed they are cooperating with a sovereign fund to develop Ethereum's institutional infrastructure; WazirX moved to Panama due to regulatory pressure.
Analysis: The policy landscape presents a pattern of 'tightening in the East and loosening in the West'—the U.S. attempts to attract capital through regulatory clarity, while places like India and Singapore strengthen restrictions. If Consensys' sovereign cooperation materializes, it may promote ETH as the preferred 'national chain', but in the short term, it is difficult to offset macro liquidity pressures.
4. 【Corporate Accumulation Narrative Weakens Marginally】（Importance: 10%）
Content: U.S. publicly listed company Semler Scientific increased its holdings by 185 BTC, bringing the total holdings to 4,449; Aptos initiated a token standard upgrade, and MoonPay obtained a BitLicense in New York.
