In the last week of July, the attention of the cryptocurrency market concentrated on the Federal Reserve. On the 29th, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged, easing market concerns about rate hike pressures. However, Bitcoin steadied around the $64,000 mark without finding direction, as funds turned to seek opportunities in smaller market cap assets. According to Huobi HTX data, in the last week (July 26 to August 2), the Bitcoin ecosystem excelled, with Ordinals inscribed asset RATS surging 85% in a single week to top the list; privacy infrastructure COTI rose 74% due to the launch of new products; additionally, BSC Meme, AI, and TRON ecosystems strengthened at multiple points.

Bitcoin Ecosystem: Benefiting from Inscribed Assets to Native Finance at Both Ends

Bitcoin itself remained stagnant within the range, which attracted more attention to assets built around it. The community sentiment of inscribed assets and the progress of building BTC native financial infrastructure attracted different types of funds.

RATS: rose 85% in a single week, making it the asset with the highest increase this week. RATS was born from the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol and is one of the most popular inscribed tokens under the BRC-20 standard, with a community culture of "retail against institutions" that is highly recognizable within the Bitcoin ecosystem. During a week where mainstream assets lacked direction, some sentiment-driven funds shifted to more resilient targets, resulting in a significant increase in RATS trading volume, with prices breaking above multiple key moving averages, completing a round of technical breakout.

BTW: increased by 10%. Unlike the sentiment-driven moves of inscribed assets, Bitway allows BTC holders to participate in financing, staking, and lending without cross-chain transfers or giving up self-custody by using a PoS Layer 1 that is compatible with Bitcoin. Recently, the product line of Bitway Earn has continued to expand, and with the ongoing heat of the BTCFi narrative, BTW has maintained its upward momentum since July.

TRON Ecosystem: ROCK and WIN Strengthening Together

ROCK: rose by 30% this week. ROCK is a Web3 gaming ecosystem token initiated by Gala Games and operates on the TRON blockchain.

WIN: increased by 13%. WINkLink serves the data supply function on the TRON chain, and the components of price feeding, verifiable randomness, and custom data services collectively form the operational basis for DeFi applications in the ecosystem. As activity on the TRON chain revived, WIN made the list for the second consecutive week.

Product Implementation, Community Topics, and Deflation Mechanisms: Three Paths to Growth

The assets that performed well this week were not concentrated in the same narrative, and the driving forces behind their increases were also different.

COTI: rose 74%, being the asset with clear product catalysts this week. On July 27, the COTI Foundation officially launched the Privacy Portal, packaging its privacy capabilities into a "Privacy-on-Demand" service, allowing public chains and enterprise-grade applications to no longer have to build privacy modules from scratch. The day after the announcement, COTI surged against the backdrop of a weak Bitcoin environment, with trading volume expanding concurrently. For an asset that has long been at a low range, the value reassessment brought by product implementation is often more convincing than simple sector rotations.

GIGGLE: rose 56%. The Giggle Fund directs transaction fees to the Giggle Academy education fund founded by CZ, and the narrative of "Meme for Charity" keeps it relevant among similar assets. This week, discussions related to Giggle Academy heated up, driving increased trading volume for GIGGLE.

BEAT: rose 54%. Audiera is advancing ecological construction in the direction of "content + AI" and using the platform's real income for token repurchase and destruction. This income and deflation linkage mechanism has allowed BEAT to maintain the upward momentum observed in previous weeks.

Under Market Segmentation, Asset Diversity Becomes the Value of the Platform

Looking back at last week's market, Bitcoin's sideways movement did not cause the market to lose direction; instead, it led to a clearer segmentation: sentiment-driven funds flowed into inscribed and Meme assets, while funds focused on fundamentals chose projects supported by product implementation and real income. This demand was reflected in this week's list of top gainers.

For trading platforms, the more the market differentiates, the broader the asset layout can reflect its value. Huobi HTX covers a variety of ecosystems and asset landscapes, providing diverse and comprehensive choices for users with different narratives and risk preferences. In a phase where the market direction is still unclear, this diversity itself is a form of certainty.
