Ethereum 10th Anniversary Torch Commemorative NFT minting has ended, with a total of over 780,000 pieces
According to BlockBeats, on July 31, the minting of the Ethereum 10th Anniversary Torch Commemorative NFT has ended, with a total of over 780,000 pieces and more than 660,000 holder addresses.
Ethereum launched 'The Torch' NFT to pay tribute to the people and values that shaped its development in the first decade and to contribute to future building. On July 30, The Torch NFT was destroyed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Ethereum's establishment.
11 Principles for Survival in the Coin Circle: I’ve kept them for 8 years, going from a loss of 280,000 to now over ten million, each one hiding a secret to reducing losses!
Brothers, these 11 principles, I've kept in my pocket and used for 8 years, going from a loss of 280,000 to now having a stable 8-digit account. Every time I review them, I feel — these aren’t just strategies, they are my 'life-saving talismans' from my experiences in the coin circle. Today, I break them down and share, each one carries my bloody lessons; if you understand, you can at least save 100,000 in tuition fees. One, observe during high and low consolidations — during sideways movements, doing nothing is winning. In 2019, I made the dumbest mistake: BTC was consolidating at 8000 dollars for half a month, and I was staring at the K-line, thinking 'it should rise', so I went all in. As a result, when the consolidation ended, it broke down to 7000 dollars, and I lost 50,000 in just 3 days. Later, an old-timer told me: 'Sideways is like two armies facing off; until a winner is determined, rushing in means becoming cannon fodder.'
Several institutions, including Jito Labs, Bitwise, and VanEck, have co-signed a letter to the U.S. SEC, requesting the inclusion of Solana in the ETF and liquidity staking token categories. What does this represent? It is not simply a 'ETF concept theme', but institutions are trying to integrate staking yield tokens into the traditional financial system, and Solana is likely to be the second chain, after ETH, to qualify for inclusion. This is not speculation for SOL, but rather a recognition by the system. This indicates that its liquidity, tokenomics design, and institution-friendliness have met the basic requirements to be considered a 'qualified financial product'. If successful, SOL will officially enter the sights of TradFi (traditional finance) funds.
The current dominance indicator for new investors in Bitcoin has reached 30%, based on CryptoQuant data, this is a clear medium-term bullish signal, but it hasn't overheated yet.
What this indicator means is: the current market participants are mainly composed of "new money", which means retail investors or newly entered funds account for a high proportion, but there is still some distance from the peaks of 2023 (64%) and 2024 (72%).
—
In other words, the current BTC price is not driven by a bubble, but rather is being gradually pushed up by new funds, indicating a higher probability of being in the early to mid stages of a bull market.
This also means—if you are waiting for a pullback to enter, you may miss out on the "cheap" positions.
—
📍 Summary Observations: • Data shows the market is not overheated yet • New funds are still entering • Structural rises still have support • The probability of large pullbacks is low, but short-term fluctuations still exist
This is a time to test patience and discipline, rather than emotional trading.
🧨《ETH is Walking on the Tightrope of a Liquidation Explosion》
According to Coinglass data, ETH is currently in a very sensitive position: • If it drops below $3,670, long positions on major exchanges will be liquidated for about $2.15 billion; • If it breaks above $4,054, short positions will be liquidated for about $1.445 billion.
What does this mean? Once the price starts moving, there will be a massive wave of forced liquidations in the market, and leveraged positions will fall like dominoes.
—
This is not about whether you should be bullish or bearish, but rather about asking yourself:
👉 Are you ready to face a market where "everyone fails to react after the direction appears"?
—
This wave of ETH is likely to be a liquidation game that amplifies emotions, it's not about being the first mover winning, but whether your observation and reaction speed can hold up.
No matter what direction you take, please make sure to control your positions, because this is not a matter of "a few hundred points up or down," it's about whether you can still sit at the poker table.
—
$ETH , let’s see clearly the direction of this liquidation storm together. Also, let me make sure this analysis piece isn’t written in vain 😅
🎨《Why Do You Need an Artistic Cell to Play with Cryptocurrency?》
Because this is not just simple investment; this is a game of feeling and intuition.
Do you think you are looking at candlestick charts? No, you are reading an oil painting of collective emotions.
⸻
🧠 Cryptocurrency is not science; it is modern art. • Technical analysis is composition; • Chip movements are brushstrokes; • Community sentiment is color; • And you, are the critic standing in front of the painting—— If you don’t understand, you lose money; If you understand too much, you go crazy.
⸻
💥 Those who play with cryptocurrency are actually creating a constantly evolving portrait of destiny. • Buying where others dare not touch, like the blank spaces in abstract art; • Selling at the heights of others' frenzied cheers, like the silence in music; • Those who hold are not doing so out of rationality, but out of faith, composition, and even a certain aesthetic persistence.
⸻
📌 So, why do you need an artistic cell?
Because the cryptocurrency world has never been a formula, but rather an ability to feel rhythms and chaos. When everyone is searching for certainty, you must be able to embrace the symmetry and poetry within uncertainty.
[Bubblemaps: Turning On-Chain Data into Visibly Apparent Truth Images]
Bubblemaps is the most impactful on-chain tool I have encountered. It is neither a block explorer nor a charting tool, but a 'visual investigation engine' that can directly convert token distribution, wallet interactions, and hidden relationships into bubble charts, making on-chain financial relationships impossible to hide. For me, it's not just fun, but also useful. From the distribution of MEME coin pump addresses, the wash trading behavior of NFTs, to the concentration of funds in liquidity pools, Bubblemaps allows for a quick grasp of the structure. Especially their Intel Desk feature, which combines community analysis, on-chain search, and transaction visualization layers, is a magical tool for investigating on-chain projects or conducting investment research.
[WalletConnect: The Key Bridge Connecting Chains and Applications]
WalletConnect is one of the most easily overlooked yet essential technologies for Web3 users every day. It is not a wallet but a 'protocol bridge' that allows your wallet to connect to various DApps. Since its development in 2018, it has supported over 600 wallets, thousands of applications, and connects multiple public chains and L2, serving as the central nervous system of the Web3 experience.
WCT is its official token, deployed on the Optimism and Solana chains, with the aim not just to incentivize users but to create a more decentralized protocol governance mechanism. As the Web3 ecosystem increasingly relies on wallet connections, signature verification, and multi-chain operations, WalletConnect acts as the 'universal key' to unlock these functions.
[Bouncebit: A CeDeFi Architecture to Restart the Yield Engine of BTC]
Bouncebit is one of the few hybrid architectures that incorporates BTC into CeFi and DeFi, focusing on the concept of 'BTC restaking,' allowing Bitcoin, which originally only had a value storage function, to further participate in staking, yield mining, and even RWA protocol yields. For those who hold BTC long-term, this is an important solution for 'static asset reutilization.' They designed the Bouncebit Prime platform, connecting traditional financial asset management institutions like Franklin Templeton and BlackRock with emerging on-chain asset protocols, creating a dual-track system that spans CeFi and on-chain yields. More importantly, they are not just a BTC version of Lido; they have integrated RWA, restaking, and multi-source yields to create another type of 'BTC asset matrix.'
[Caldera: The Multi-Chain Operating System for Modular Rollups]
Caldera (ERA) gives me the most direct impression of being the 'Internet of Rollups'. In today's trend where modularity has become a chain design trend, Caldera offers a set of freely combinable and interoperable Rollup architecture, allowing different applications or ecosystems to be customized and deployed according to their needs. This is a highly scalable new path in the zk and L2 tracks. Compared to a single-chain design, Caldera is more like a 'chain generator'. From modular to interoperable, each Caldera chain can be an independent execution unit and also participate in a multi-chain communication network, which is crucial for future applications such as DePIN, AI model on-chain, gaming subchains, and more.
The future of Web3 requires faster, more accurate, and more secure on-chain data management, and Chainbase is the infrastructure builder of this data revolution. It provides a decentralized on-chain data infrastructure that focuses on 'real-time indexing, multi-chain querying, data integrity, and availability,' which are the bottlenecks commonly encountered by DApps and smart contracts during cross-chain interactions.
Chainbase's solution is not just a data warehouse, but a highway for on-chain operations. Especially with the surge of scenarios involving AI, ZK, oracles, etc., the phrase 'data is trust' is becoming increasingly true. The $C token, as the driving force of the entire ecosystem, participates in node operations and incentive mechanisms, making it an indispensable part.
[Lagrange: The ZK Engineer Making AI Verification Trustworthy]
Among many ZK projects, Lagrange is one that I have been particularly focused on recently. It doesn't just do zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), but aims to apply ZK in higher-level application layers, such as AI verification, cross-chain computation, and privacy protection. Their flagship product DeepProve is a representative of zkML: it verifies AI inference results through ZK, allowing AI responses to be verified on-chain. This is really impressive.
Lagrange collaborates with EigenLayer to significantly enhance the computational efficiency and decentralization of the entire ZK network, which indirectly strengthens the stability of blockchain in cross-chain and privacy applications. From the application layer perspective, it enables many AI results, model computations, and even off-chain operations to be proven 'true'.
[Huma Finance: The Next Step for On-Chain Credit Protocol]
In the world of DeFi, 'credit' has always been a dimension that is difficult to showcase on-chain. Huma Finance attempts to tackle this issue head-on by establishing a credit protocol specifically designed for 'income-based lending,' allowing users to collateralize cash flow and proof of income to obtain liquidity funds. I believe Huma Finance's uniqueness lies in its integration of on-chain and off-chain data, such as pay stubs, freelance contracts, and stable income records, which liberates those who cannot obtain collateralized loans through traditional means. At the same time, it also supports enterprise applications (such as collaborations with payroll platforms), expanding the user boundaries of DeFi.
📢 Exploring the next potential project? I recently researched Treehouse, a super strong platform focused on on-chain smart data. By combining mind mapping and real-time trading analysis, it helps users make smarter decisions. 🌳📊
Treehouse not only provides indicator data, on-chain tracking, but also integrates a trader identity system and reward mechanism. The overall design makes me feel that this is not just a tool, but more like a financial intelligence operations center. 🔥
If you haven't followed them yet, you really should check out their vision and roadmap. Their $TREE token could potentially become a core asset for on-chain cognition and trading interaction in the future. 🚀 #Treehouse$TREE @Treehouse Official
