BTC Market - This week, BTC fell by 0.73%. At the beginning of the week, BTC prices fluctuated upward in the range of 118,000 USDT to 119,500 USDT, attempting to break through the upper resistance level. From July 30 to 31, BTC experienced a noticeable pullback, with prices quickly dropping from around 119,000 USDT, hitting a low below 116,000 USDT. This decline was accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, indicating strong selling pressure. After reaching the low, BTC quickly stabilized and rebounded, currently rising to around 118,237.4 USDT.
ETH Market - This week, ETH rose by 5.47%. At the beginning of the week, ETH prices fluctuated upward in the range of 3,800 USDT to 3,900 USDT, briefly reaching a high near 3,940 USDT. Subsequently, from July 29 to 30, ETH experienced a noticeable pullback, with prices quickly dropping from the high, hitting a low near 3,720 USDT. This decline was also accompanied by increased trading volume, indicating strong selling pressure. After reaching the low, ETH prices stabilized and began to rebound, currently rising to around 3,845.04 USDT. During the rebound, prices formed a new consolidation area in the range of 3,760 USDT to 3,840 USDT.
Altcoins - This week, mainstream altcoins showed significant structural differentiation, with funds exhibiting clear characteristics of "the strong getting stronger" and "hotspot rotation." Among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, ENA and CFX became the focus with weekly gains exceeding 33%, demonstrating strong short-term explosive potential.
ETF and Contract Market - In terms of ETF funding, BTC ETFs have shown a net inflow trend over the past five trading days, reflecting a recovery in market confidence regarding their medium to long-term prospects. In contrast, ETH ETFs have recently performed even better, maintaining a net inflow trend for several weeks, with the inflow scale significantly exceeding that of BTC ETFs for most of the time; the main reason is that ETH's recent gains have outpaced BTC, attracting more institutional funds to continue increasing their positions. In the contracts market, in the past 24 hours, BTC and ETH contracts saw liquidations of $99.46 million and $72.84 million, respectively.
Macroeconomic Data - On July 30, the Federal Reserve announced that it would maintain the federal funds rate target range at 4.25%–4.50%, marking the fifth consecutive time it has held steady. Following the interest rate decision, the three major U.S. stock indices briefly plunged, reversing from gains to losses.
Stablecoins - The total market capitalization of stablecoins has risen to $275.2 billion, with further inflows of incremental funds from the over-the-counter market.
Gas Fee - This week, Ethereum network gas fees have significantly increased compared to last week. As of July 31, the average gas fee for the day was 2.8 Gwei.
This week, the cryptocurrency industry continued to rise, with market sentiment remaining optimistic, and most mainstream altcoin sectors saw increases. According to Coingecko data, the RWA Protocol, Stablecoin Protocol, and Liquid Staking sectors all showed upward trends this week, rising 248.2%, 20.6%, and 17.5% respectively over the past seven days.
The RWA Protocol tokenizes real-world assets (such as real estate, bonds, etc.) through blockchain technology, significantly enhancing the liquidity and accessibility of assets, bridging traditional finance and the digital economy. Its core value lies in achieving digital management and trading of assets through smart contracts, lowering investment thresholds and increasing transparency. - Over the past seven days, this sector has risen by 248.2% (due to new tokens completing TGE and being included in the statistics), with APF Coin and Carnomaly rising by 132.6% and 59.7% respectively.
The Stablecoin Protocol refers to a system of crypto protocols focused on designing, issuing, managing, and maintaining the stability of pegged assets. Its core goal is to achieve value anchoring (such as USD, EUR, gold, etc.) under a decentralized architecture, ensuring price stability, predictability, and scalability. - Over the past seven days, this sector has risen by 20.6%, with Keeta and Ethena rising by 50.3% and 33.6% respectively.
Liquid Staking is a mechanism that tokenizes staked assets, aiming to release the liquidity of originally locked assets, allowing users to earn staking rewards while still participating in on-chain activities like DeFi. This mechanism has become one of the key infrastructures in the DeFi ecosystem. - Over the past seven days, this sector has risen by 17.5%, with Cronos zkEVM CRO and Babylon rising by 18.9% and 17.5% respectively.
NFT trading platform OpenSea has officially launched Creator Studio 2.0, providing creators with a one-stop multi-chain creation and issuance tool. The new version supports the creation of NFT collections on up to 20 blockchains, setting issuance times, and customizing display pages for sharing and storytelling. This upgrade aims to lower the barriers to creation, enhance content expressiveness, and further consolidate OpenSea's core position in the Web3 creation field. This feature has now been integrated into the new version of the OpenSea platform and is fully open for use.
The launch of Creator Studio 2.0 by OpenSea marks its transformation from a single trading platform to a "provider of infrastructure" for multi-chain creation and issuance. In a landscape where platforms like Blur focus on "trading efficiency" and "airdrop incentives" as core competitive advantages, OpenSea has chosen to differentiate itself by empowering creators and building a content ecosystem, which is expected to stabilize platform stickiness and the proportion of original content, reversing the trend of continuous traffic loss. From an industry perspective, as the on-chain NFT activity of Ordinals, Ethereum Layer 2, Solana, etc., rapidly increases, unified entry points and cross-chain issuance are becoming new trends. The multi-chain support and creation tool upgrades of Creator Studio 2.0 will further promote the professionalization and scaling of the Web3 content creation ecosystem.
The modular data availability (DA) solution EigenDA has announced the official launch of its V2 version on the mainnet. The new version increases data throughput to 100 MB/s, approximately 6.7 times higher than V1, while reducing average latency from about 600 seconds to just 10 seconds, an improvement of nearly 60 times. This upgrade significantly enhances EigenDA's performance, providing more efficient data availability support for the Rollup ecosystem.
The release of EigenDA V2 is another key milestone in the development of modular blockchain architecture. The "dual leap" in throughput and latency not only greatly enhances the performance ceiling of data availability but also paves the way for infrastructure paths for Rollup, L3 architecture, and high-frequency trading applications. For EigenDA itself, it further consolidates its technological leadership in the DA layer, especially against the backdrop of competitors like Celestia and Avail. This V2 release is expected to bring more integration options for Rollups and developers. For the entire crypto industry, this means that lower-cost, faster-response modular infrastructure will drive on-chain applications from "verifiable feasibility" to "scalable implementation." Particularly as the Ethereum ecosystem accelerates its move towards a Rollup-Centric route, EigenDA's upgrade will become one of the key underlying components supporting millions of TPS, potentially attracting capital attention and refocusing on the DA layer.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) has submitted a universal listing standard application for crypto asset ETPs (exchange-traded products) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a clearer compliance path for crypto trading products in the U.S. stock market. This standard will apply to crypto assets that have been tracked by futures in compliant derivatives markets (such as Coinbase Derivatives) for more than six months, covering several mainstream coins including SOL and XRP, and explicitly supporting related staking mechanisms. The Solana ETP is expected to be approved by October 10 at the latest, with the XRP ETP following in Q4. Meanwhile, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq may also respond quickly by submitting similar standards.
The universal listing standard proposed by CBOE is seen as a key extension of crypto compliance following the spot Bitcoin ETF. Unlike past applications for single-coin ETFs, this unified threshold of "futures tracking for six months" forms a standardized process applicable to mainstream crypto assets, significantly reducing approval uncertainty. This is expected to promote the ETP conversion of coins like SOL and XRP in Q4 and may pave the way for the productization of ETH staking ETPs, AVAX, LINK, and other second-tier assets.
The Ethereum treasury strategy company The Ether Machine has recently increased its holdings by approximately 15,000 ETH, raising its total holdings to 334,757 ETH, ranking among the top on-chain Ethereum treasuries. Based on current prices, this increase is valued at about $50 million, with the remaining funds still holding up to $407 million in available capital, demonstrating its long-term capital allocation capability and highlighting its high confidence in Ethereum's medium to long-term performance.
This increase in holdings is not an isolated event but reflects the current trend of institutions continuously accumulating Ethereum. Since the official launch of the spot Ethereum ETF in 2024, several traditional asset management institutions (such as BlackRock and Fidelity) have been continuously expanding their allocations. In July 2025, ETF net inflows reached a historic high, with monthly inflows of $5.4 billion, exceeding the total of the previous 11 months, indicating that institutional consensus on Ethereum as a "blue-chip digital asset" is rapidly solidifying.
Overall, The Ether Machine's continued accumulation behavior not only reflects its firm belief in Ethereum's fundamentals but also directly responds to the broader trend of "institutional capital accelerating its layout in Ethereum." As ETFs drive the transformation of Ethereum's asset attributes, such treasury behaviors are becoming important signals for the market to assess the direction of long-term capital flows.
According to DefiLlama data, the total locked value (TVL) on the Sui chain has surpassed $2.2 billion, nearly doubling from its low point earlier this year and setting a new historical high. This increase began on May 22 during the ecological recovery phase following a contract vulnerability attack on the largest DEX aggregator, Cetus. The incident resulted in over $223 million in liquidity pool losses, but the team quickly paused the protocol and initiated asset recovery and governance reforms. Ultimately, through community voting, most of the assets were recovered, and the protocol shifted towards open-source governance, restoring ecological transparency and market confidence.
The on-chain fundamentals have also improved synchronously. According to Artemis data, the daily active addresses on Sui rapidly rebounded from a post-incident low of about 300,000 to 2.6 million, reflecting a more than 130% increase within the month, indicating real capital inflows and user returns. Meanwhile, SUI has begun to attract attention from U.S. publicly listed companies. Nasdaq-listed Lion Group purchased 350,000 SUI in June and increased its holdings to over 1.01 million in July, with a market value of $4.3 million; Everything Blockchain Inc. also announced that it would include SUI in its $10 million crypto asset portfolio.
Overall, the recent rise of SUI is not driven by short-term speculation but is propelled by multiple factors, including improvements in protocol governance, warming on-chain data, and the entry of institutional funds, showcasing its strong recovery capability and long-term growth potential.
According to DefiLlama data, the monthly trading volume of Solana DEX peaked in January 2025, exceeding $260 billion, but has since continued to decline, dropping nearly 70% from its peak as of July. This round of adjustment is primarily due to the retreat of meme coins and speculative fervor that drove high-frequency trading on the Solana chain earlier this year, leading to a significant decrease in market short-term funds and high-frequency bot activity. Additionally, cross-chain funds have begun to flow back into the Ethereum ecosystem, influenced by the continuous capital inflow into Ethereum spot ETFs, with Layer 2 and re-staking protocols diverting a large amount of trading volume, resulting in a temporary cooling of DEX activity on Solana.
Despite this, the infrastructure and protocol innovations within the Solana ecosystem remain resilient. Leading DEXs like Raydium and Jupiter still maintain a high market share, and the demand for on-chain staking, MEV earnings, and LST-type products continues to grow. The current volume adjustment is more a result of periodic changes in market sentiment rather than a deterioration of the ecosystem's fundamentals. If new token issuances, DeFi innovations, and ecological incentives are restarted, Solana's on-chain liquidity is expected to become active again, and DEX trading volume may regain its upward momentum.
