After the PoL Next upgrade launched, Berachain's market experienced significant volume fluctuations, $BERA the price surged rapidly in the short term, and market funds are repricing around changes in the underlying economic model.
The BGT mechanism was retired and switched to WBERA settlement, a change that directly altered the allocation logic of on-chain incentives and lowered the entry barrier for liquidity participation.
The original veteran miner group is facing structural adjustments in incentive models, and this restructuring of profit distribution has triggered market debates over long-term lock-up willingness.
If the new mechanism can effectively drive significant TVL growth, liquidity release will support prices; conversely, if miners exit due to incentive changes, it may intensify selling pressure risk.
Current market buying sentiment relies on expectations of liquidity premium from WBERA settlement. If the market cannot hold above the current range, it indicates that consensus on the new mechanism has not yet been reached.
Observing the trend of on-chain TVL in the coming days is a key indicator to verify whether this economic model upgrade can translate into actual asset accumulation.
#参议院CLARITY法案下周或表决: Favorable Moments or Shortcoming? #三星Galaxy钱包将原生支持稳定币 #SPCX因星舰发射与解禁引发多空分歧Starship's 13th Test Flight Success: What SPCX Truly Wants to Deliver Is More Than Just One Launch'
On July 24, SpaceX completed Starship's 13th comprehensive flight test. According to the AP live report, the rocket launched from Texas, releasing 20 Starlink V3 satellites for the first time; The spacecraft then completed a soft splash in the Indian Ocean. The incident occurred on July 24, with related reports released between July 24 and 25.
The value of this mission lies in Starship's first time advancing the "next-generation Starlink carrier" from simulated payloads to real satellite testing. Twenty V3 satellites were released at an altitude of about 200 kilometers and completed laser, radio communication, and data return within about 20 minutes before reentry. But it's important to clarify: this is a suborbital test, the satellite was suborbitally burned afterward, and it did not directly become new operational capacity; The booster also descended too quickly on the return trip due to insufficient restart of the engine. A successful test flight reduced some engineering uncertainties, but that does not mean the commercialization pace has been set.
The core cash flow behind SPCX still mainly comes from Starlink. SpaceX disclosed to the SEC that as of March 31, it had about 9,600 in-orbit broadband and mobile satellites and 10.3 million Starlink subscribers; In the first quarter, the connectivity business generated $3.257 billion in revenue and operating profit of $1.188 billion. In comparison, the aerospace business had $619 million in revenue and $662 million in operating losses during the same period, and paid Starship $930 million in R&D expenses. In other words, Starship is more like high-investment infrastructure in the short term, and its long-term value depends on whether it can significantly reduce launch costs, expand V3 deployment speed, and ultimately translate into subscriptions and enterprise revenue.
The next more verifiable milestone is the Q2 results on August 4. The market will focus on Starlink user growth, connectivity business profit margins, Starship R&D, and capital expenditure, not just the launch screen. Negative risks include repeated testing schedules, regulatory and spectrum constraints, massive investments, and the sensitivity of high valuations to the speed of growth realization.

Is it supported for trust-minimized BTC transfers across L2s?While reviewing the Meme sector that evening, I suddenly thought of a question: In the next bull market, can DOGE replicate the frenzied rally of 2021?
I feel the answer may not be as simple as before.
Dogecoin's biggest feature in 2021 is its highly concentrated narrative.
At that time, there were few options in the entire Meme market, and a large amount of retail funds were concentrated in DOGE. A single Musk's move often becomes a trigger for short-term capital flow, sometimes causing significant intraday fluctuations.
At that stage, DOGE carried very strong emotional value.
But now the market environment has changed.
In the past year, even when Musk occasionally mentioned DOGE, the market reaction was less exaggerated than before; more often, it was just a short-term surge, then quickly returned to its original trend.
I don't think this is simply a "decline in Musk's influence," but more like the market maturing and funds starting to disperse.
The competition in the meme track is far fiercer now than in 2021.
In the past, when people mentioned Meme, their first thought was probably DOGE; But now, a large number of new projects emerge on-chain every day, and the Solana ecosystem keeps giving birth to new meme assets, with brands like PEPE and BONK attracting significant attention.
The liquidity pool remains the same, but with more choices, DOGE naturally finds it hard to dominate as a single player as before.
Another once very captivating story is "DOGE on Mars."
At the time, many believed that with the development of Musk and SpaceX, Dogecoin could become some kind of space payment method in the future, and this imaginative space brought strong market sentiment to DOGE.
But after a few years, people have gradually realized that there is still a long way between grand narratives and actual implementation.
Stories can drive emotions, but ultimately, it depends on whether there are new use cases and sustained funding.
In my own view, DOGE is not without opportunities.
It still maintains extremely high brand recognition, a massive community base, and a very strong historical position among meme coins.
But to replicate the 2021 gains, new catalysts may be needed, rather than just a single shout or an old story.
In the next bull market, the meme rally is very likely to persist, but funds will become more selective. In the past, "fame means price increases," but in the future, more emphasis may be placed on community activity, capital flows, and the duration of market heat.
So for DOGE, I wouldn't simply judge it has no chance, nor do I expect it to easily repeat the past.
The advantage of established memes is strong consensus, but their disadvantage is that their growth potential has already been fully recognized by the market. What truly determines the trend going forward is whether there are new stories, new capital, and new application expectations. $OKB $DOGE $KAITO rose over 26% in 24 hours—Can InfoFi hype turn into token demand?
According to OKX spot market data, as of 22:00 Beijing time on July 26, 2026, KAITO/USDT was trading at about 1.2093 USDT, up about 26.5% in 24 hours, with a high of 1.2318 USDT and a low of 0.9194 USDT, and a trading volume of about 4.477 million USDT. Currently, no public announcement alone explains this round of rally; price performance is more appropriate to first see as funds retrading AI and attention economy narratives.
Kaito is not just an "AI search tool."
Kaito Pro is responsible for organizing encrypted information such as social media, research, governance forums, news, and podcasts, and quantifies projects and narratives in Mindshare; Kaito Studio uses this data for brand-creator matching, campaign execution, and performance attribution; Capital Launchpad attempts to allocate project quotas based on social reputation, on-chain behavior, and historical participation; Mindshare Arena turns brand, trend, and personality attention into a predictable market.
The common logic of this product is to turn previously vague attention into data that can be measured, distributed, and traded.
The demand is real, the project team needs to decide who to allocate the budget to, the traders need to identify narrative rotations, and creators want their influence to be determined more than just the number of followers. Kaito officially disclosed that Kaito Pro has already achieved profitability and serves over 500 investment, marketing, and growth teams; These data can somewhat indicate the direction of commercialization.
Once attention is tied to rewards, participants study scoring rules, and content quantity, homogeneous expression, and account manipulation can all increase. Kaito's early Yaps "post to earn" program ended in January 2026, with the official reason cited as X revoking reward API access. InfoFi can redesign allocation rules but is still subject to changes in social platform data permissions and policies.
KAITO currently serves as an ecosystem trading medium, governance, and staking. Of the official token distribution, 56.67% is allocated to the community and ecosystem, 25% to core contributors, and 8.3% to early investors. Documenting the purpose does not mean the value has been transmitted: current official documentation does not state that Kaito Pro revenue will automatically be distributed to KAITO holders, nor does it disclose a fixed buyback or burn mechanism directly linked to income.
Whether this wave of price can be caught by InfoFi business depends on whether Kaito Pro's paying customers and revenue can grow, whether Studio can generate a budget for recurring activities, whether Launchpad and Mindshare Arena continue to generate usage, and whether staking, governance, and platform transactions can bring stable demand for KAITO.
Kaito is trying to price attention. KAITO also aims to prove that this attention can accumulate into sustained revenue and token demand, not just higher scores on the leaderboard.#多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过
I'm Brother Thorn, and the CLARITY Act is basically dead.
Senate Majority Leader Thune personally stated that the bill is unlikely to pass before the August recess. Bloomberg directly pointed out the core issue: the approximately $1.4 billion in earnings Trump gained from crypto business became the biggest obstacle to the bill's passage. At the beginning of the year, the approval rate surged to 82%, and the market is now only about one-third. Democrats and consumer rights groups criticized the clause for insufficient strength, stating that enforcement power is exercised solely by the Department of Justice, excluding oversight by state attorneys general; Whether moral restrictions cover indirect shareholding and do not restrict officials' children; The terms will automatically expire on January 20, 2029. All three points are major flaws, making it difficult to reach consensus in the short term.
Compromise efforts are ongoing, with Gallego and Tillis exploring solutions, and the banking sector opposing stablecoin yield clauses. But the time window was gone. The August 7 recess was a strict deadline, and the process itself took several days. The actual deadline was July 30. Missing the recess will put the government at risk of shutdown in September, and then entering election season, the difficulty of passing will rise significantly.
The impact on BTC in the short term has already been reflected in the price of disappointing expectations. BTC has fallen from above 66,000 to near 64,000, and the bill's stalling means regulatory uncertainty continues, slowing institutional allocation. However, Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, still holds true: the bottom of the BTC bear market may have already formed, and prices will be driven by real interest rates and economic growth. ETFs have seen net inflows for several consecutive days, with institutions continuously buying in the 64,000 to 65,000 range.
The failure of the CLARITY Act has limited impact on BTC's long-term narrative; BTC does not live on a single bill from the U.S. Congress. The value of non-sovereign assets comes from computing power and consensus, not from Washington's approval.

24h $30,600 $128,300 19.3%
Duokong interpretation
Across cycles, short blowouts crushed the bulls (24-hour short positions accounted for 80.7%), indicating a sustained short-squeeze rally. Within 1 hour, short liquidations account for 100%, with extreme short squeezes at the open; The 12-hour short position ratio reached 93.1%, the most intense short squeeze of the day; Although the 24-hour bulls have fought back, bears still dominate the market. Ultimate winner: Bulls—Bears face consecutive large-scale liquidations, with prices continuing to rise strongly.
Time distribution
· 1 hour accounts for 47.1% of 24 hours
· 4 hours accounts for 51.6% of 24 hours
· 12 hours accounts for 80.6% of 24 hours
Extreme liquidations are concentrated in the 12-hour cycle (over 80%), indicating that the main wave of short squeezing and rising momentum has exploded within 12 hours; The total 24-hour volume is basically the same as the 12-hour period, with limited growth in the subsequent 12 hours. Currently, the market is at the end of the high level of the short squeeze phase, with bears suffering heavy losses, but caution is needed regarding profit-taking pressure.
A one-sentence explanation
$SNDK 24-hour short liquidations totaled $128,300, accounting for 80.7% of total volume; 12-hour concentrated bursts forced the main bullish wave, with bulls winning decisively.
🔥 Market Barometer | July 24th
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the cost of AI, regulatory stalls, and the breathing on the edge of the geopolitical cliff.
📊 Google and Tesla: The "bill" for the AI feast has arrived
Two financial reports have revealed the harsh truth behind AI narratives.
Google beats expectations but comes at a heavy cost: total revenue of $119.8 billion, up 24% year-on-year; Google Cloud revenue was $24.77 billion, an 82% year-on-year increase. However, capital expenditures reached $44.9 billion, and free cash flow turned negative for the first time to -$5.9 billion. After hours, it once fell nearly 5%.
Tesla's revenue growth without profit growth: revenue of $28.24 billion, up 26% year-on-year; However, operating profit was only $398 million, a year-on-year plunge of 57%, with an operating margin of just 1.4%. Free cash flow turned negative for the first time in over two years. It fell more than 4% in after-hours trading.
Signal: Google's AI has formed a closed revenue loop in its cloud business; Meanwhile, Tesla's Robotaxi and Optimus remain at the "story" stage. The market is punishing AI narratives that are concept-heavy but lack cash flow.
📜 CLARITY Act Stalled: A $1.4 Billion Ethical Dilemma
Regulatory hopes for the crypto industry are fading. Although Senate Republicans released updated text and added a morality clause, seven Democratic senators collectively vetoed it. Senate Majority Leader Toon Toon made it clear that the bill is unlikely to pass before the August 7 recess.
Fundamental obstacle: The roughly $1.4 billion gains Trump gained from crypto business became the biggest obstacle. The Democrats are demanding stricter ethical clauses to prevent the president from continuing to profit from the crypto industry under government oversight.
Polymarket forecasts show that the probability of passing within the year has plummeted from over 80% to 37%. Missing the August window and dragging into the autumn elections will greatly reduce the chances of passing in 2026.
🚢 U.S. military pauses airstrikes: a breather on the edge of a geopolitical cliff
On July 25 local time, Trump ordered the U.S. military not to launch new airstrikes on Iran that day, ending a 13-day continuous daily strike campaign.
A few hours before the airstrike pause, the Omani delegation had already arrived in Tehran to begin negotiations to resume navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly making progress. Brent crude had previously surpassed $100 per barrel, and if negotiations break through, oil prices are expected to retreat.
Signal: This is a tactical pause—to leave room for diplomacy, but the U.S. military is still preparing contingency plans for resuming strikes.
💎 Summary
Three events outline the core contradictions in the current market: The bill for AI is approaching—Google and Tesla are telling the market that, for the first time ever, negative cash flow is heating up faster than expected; The regulatory window is closing—the $1.4 billion ethical dilemma makes it hard for the CLARITY Act to pass within the year; How long the pause in the geography lasts depends on the success or failure of Oman's mediation. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time?

#美军暂停对伊空袭, negotiations on the opening of the strait made progress Traditional futures moving 24/7 was originally seen as an irreversible trend. However, the CFTC recently extended the comment deadline by 30 days, postponing it to August 26. This is not simply "slowing down approvals," but rather asking: After the market never closes, who guarantees the risk system will never go offline? On July 23, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced an extension of the public comment period for two issues: first, the extension of standard futures contracts to 24/7 trading; Second, design perpetual contracts for energy commodities that can be delivered physically or stored. The regulator stated that this extension was due to requests from commentators and added several new issues. The discussion, which was originally close to ending, was postponed to August 26. ## Trading can go on endlessly, but clearing can't rely solely on "scheduling one extra shift." On the surface, 24/7 is just extending trading hours from weekdays to weekends. In fact, it will simultaneously change four systems: - Exchanges need to continuously match and monitor abnormal orders; - The clearing institution needs to calculate margin and default risk in real time; - Brokers need to continue handling client funds during bank breaks; - Market makers need to continue providing bilateral quotes amid weekend news shocks. The crypto market has proven that weekends are not always risk-free. Conversely, when bank payments, fiat deposits, and some institutional risk control teams are in a low-response state, market depth may decrease, and a single sell order can cause a greater price shock. If this mechanism were replicated to physically deliverable assets like crude oil, the problem would become even more complicated. Perpetual contracts do notA few bullish candles can make the market shout "Altseason is here"... But the money really didn't come.
Have you noticed that things around you have suddenly become lively lately, but the knockoffs you have haven't touched much?
I saw many people getting excited, and Twitter was full of screenshots of "Niu Hui Su Gui" (Ox Return Fast Return). But after carefully scanning the on-chain data, he actually felt even calmer. This isn't a widespread, sweeping rally; it's more like a carefully orchestrated "liquidity flash mob"—funds only dare to cluster around a few strong coins, and the vast majority of tokens struggle even to keep up.
People think what they see is a "full-scale explosion," but in reality, trading is "structural differentiation under the stock game game." The market is quietly repricing: what's worth chasing, and what should be abandoned.
Where is the money going now?
- The most stable is still the anchor $BTC, which is the starting point for all liquidity.
- Then there are $JELLYJELLY, $OPG, $SLX varieties with narrative or bookmaker marks.
- And $LAB, $BSB, $ALLO, $CHIP—all seem to be the 'survivors' who have been screened.
And those that have been forgotten, such as $BEAT, $EDGE, $TRUMP, $VIRTUAL, $IP...... It's not that they're bad, but the market doesn't want to pay attention to them for now. This is the harshness of "event repricing": not all tokens will be evenly priced; only those chosen for "repricing" in the current logic get a share of the pie.
So when is the real Altseason?
- Liquidity has spread from several leading stocks to multiple sectors, not just BTC and Solana rising.
- More altcoins can independently follow their own trends, rather than just following BTC in the tail.
- Trading volume continues to expand, not just a single day's pulse.
- Buying can be sustained, rather than a sudden surge and then exit.
It now seems none of these conditions have been met. So don't rush to bet all your positions. Chasing bullish candles is the easiest way to get stuck halfway up the mountain before liquidity spreads.
My judgment is: the market is still in the "tentative pricing" phase; a true comprehensive rally needs to wait for BTC to hold firm first, then wait for new narratives to pull funds from "safe haven" back to "risky."
Think carefully before taking action; don't let emotions lead you astray.

$DOGE As a long-established MEME, its token structure is relatively transparent, with no unlocking pressure, which is an advantage
But the disadvantages are equally obvious:
The trend heavily depends on BTC linkage, with intense technical selling pressure above and continuous issuance of diluted value in the perpetual market

The story of storage is completely told.
A new round of collapse in South Korea may be imminent.
Yesterday, on July 25, Samsung and SK Hynix signed a chip partnership agreement worth 1,375 trillion Korean won with American tech giants.
About $940 billion, which is 6.3 trillion RMB.
Over the weekend, many financial bloggers and investors said this news is a major positive.
But in fact, this is a replay of the Plaza Accord in Japan, and South Korea is bound to repeat Japan's mistakes from the 1990s.
First, originally Samsung and SK Hynix's monthly HBM capacity by the end of 2027 was 130,000 units.
But with this investment agreement and cooperation framework plan, by the end of 2027 their monthly HBM capacity will increase to 190,000 units.
The original supply shortage of HBM was expected to last until the end of 2028, but now it will be directly advanced to the end of 2027, shortening the entire industry's boom cycle by a year.
International capital of trillions will not wait until supply and demand balance at the end of 2027 to act; they usually move one to one and a half years earlier.
Second, this agreement is only a supply intention, not a rigid purchase contract.
However, Samsung and SK Hynix must now start expanding factories, investing in equipment, and begin large-scale capacity expansion.
If the commercialization and profit speed of these big companies led by Google, Microsoft, and Amazon falls behind their investment speed in AI,
they will reduce this expenditure, and the HBM capacity that Samsung and Hynix build in the future will quickly become excess capacity.
Prices will plummet, massive investments will be unrecoverable, and South Korea will face huge corporate losses, export collapse, currency depreciation, and asset price crashes.
A perfect replication of Japan's 1990s script.
So, South Korea seems to have gained the AI order dividend.
But extending the timeline, this cooperation agreement directly locks South Korea's high-end industry future development path.
The entire economic lifeline of South Korea is now completely in the hands of the Americans. Reading the news about Samsung and SK Hynix, I saw a set of numbers that made me a bit restless.
Samsung and SK Group just signed a $950 billion long-term chip supply agreement with US tech giants, valid until 2030. NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Google have all locked in South Korean memory production capacity.
My impression of memory chips was still stuck in the cyclical stock phase. But 65% of SK Hynix's revenue now comes from HBM high-bandwidth memory, a single category, and last month it just raised $26.5 billion in an IPO on Nasdaq, setting a record in the semiconductor industry.
The signal behind this is very direct: US tech giants are locking in capacity in advance according to the AI computing power growth curve for the next 5 to 10 years; short-term fluctuations do not affect decisions at this level.
The structural change in the HBM line is just beginning. Micron, SK Hynix ADR, Samsung—the memory sector deserves to be revalued.
The above does not constitute investment advice; please make judgments based on your own research. A stablecoin claiming to be backed by Bitcoin assets saw its price plummet 99% after the attacker stole about $1 million in collateral. This incident once again proves that the most dangerous moments for stablecoins are often not "no assets," but the system mistaking the wrong price for the truth. On July 22, Balance Coin (BLC) was attacked by oracles. Public reports show that the attacker entered abnormal Bitcoin prices into the lending system, triggering erroneous liquidations and withdrawing about $910,000 to $1 million in assets from the relevant vaults. BLC then fell from nearly $1 to nearly zero. ## "Collateral" does not mean "collateral can be redeemed at any time" Whether a stablecoin can hold its peg depends on at least three layers of structure: The first layer is assets. Is there really enough collateral in the vault? The second layer is pricing. What price does the protocol use to determine collateralization ratio, minting quota, and liquidation threshold? The third layer is liquidity. Even if the book assets are sufficient, during market panic, is anyone willing to accept at prices close to $1? The problem with balance mainly lies in the second layer. The oracle acts like the "eyes" of on-chain protocols; the contract itself does not determine Bitcoin's actual value and only mechanically executes external prices. If input prices are manipulated, subsequent lending, liquidation, and asset transfers will become correct code execution errors. This is why an attack of about $1 million can cause a 99% price drop. According to public data, before the incident, BLC had about 3.5 million tokens in circulation and a nominal market value of about 3I think Jensen Huang's support for opening up weights this time actually has very practical business logic behind it.
The more active the open-source ecosystem is, the more companies involved in AI development and deployment, and the greater the demand for computing power. For NVIDIA, more models being used mean more training and inference scenarios, naturally driving demand for GPUs and data centers.
So this is not just an expression of industry opinions, but also closely tied to NVIDIA's own interests.
If the AI ecosystem becomes excessively closed in the future, with only a few companies controlling the model entry points, the overall market expansion speed may be limited. Conversely, if the open approach encourages more enterprises and developers to participate, it could actually expand the entire AI infrastructure market.
Of course, the market ultimately looks at performance deliveries, not just on philosophy. Whether open source can truly translate into greater computing power needs still requires further data verification.

$GOOGL In less than 24 hours, before the verdict was even finished, the appeal was submitted. This is faster than the $BTC pump. Kalshi was really anxious this time. A New York federal judge had just rejected their application to block the enforcement of the state's gambling law, and he went straight to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The target is a sports event contract; state regulators say it's gambling, but Kalshi says it's not. But the judge was not convinced. I stared at the market for a long time; predicting this market track is really too difficult. Whether it's Polymarket or Kalshi, doing prediction markets in the US is like walking a tightrope: the federal government says it's okay, but the states say no. The two sides are fighting, with the project side caught in the middle. Don't panic, this isn't a death sentence. If the Court of Appeal changes its ruling, Kalshi will still have a breather. Sports event contracts are their main source of income, and having this cut off is as painful as losing $ETH to the mainnet. There wasn't much major volatility in the market today, $BTC is still fluctuating. At this level, no one dares to bet on the direction with large positions. To be honest, this kind of regulatory negative impact has limited short-term impact on prices, but it gradually erodes market makers' confidence. Think about it, which institution would be willing to invest heavily in liquidity in a market that could be labeled as gambling at any moment? Sports prediction has been a hot topic lately. The European Championship, Champions League final, and NBA Finals are happening one after another, and the trading volume in the on-chain prediction market has been soaring. But regulators have directly cut the root cause. I think there's no shortcut to compliance. Whoever first sorts out relationships with a certain institution will survive until #芯片股反弹, and short positions in the US stock market will hit a record high #Just now, $KAITO surged. Recently, its performance has been quite impressive, showing a continuous upward trend. From the end of June until now, it has tripled in less than a month, and everything looks thriving. But is this really the case? Is the market really that optimistic about it? To answer these two questions, we need to analyze some data to find the answers. —————————————————— Let's look at its contract data. A closer look at the chart reveals four key time nodes. The first date is July 8. At that time, $KAITO's price suddenly surged, and its contract open interest surged, but the long-short ratio of contracts plummeted. What does this mean? This indicates that this rally has led to a massive amount of short positions. This is the first large-scale short selling in $KAITO in nearly a month. This time, the result was a pullback for $KAITO. The second milestone is July 14. At that time, the price of $KAITO surged again, attracting many more short sellers. The data performance was exactly the same as the first time, and the result was the same. The third date is July 17. At this point, $KAITO started to surge again, and the math performance was the same as the first time. The result was the same, $KAITO pulled back again. The fourth date is July 19. On that day, $KAITO started to rally upward, then went on to a consolidationNext week, the most active spot in U.S. stocks is most likely to be tech stocks.
Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple will successively release their earnings reports, and the Federal Reserve meeting will also be held at the same time. Tesla and Google have already stepped on a market pitfall: business growth hasn't stopped, AI investment and capital expenditure are too high, cash flow is starting to strain, and stock prices are still being hit.
So for this round of financial reports, it's no longer enough to judge whether revenue exceeds expectations.
The market cares more about three things:
First, how much has AI capital expenditure increased?
Second, whether cloud business and advertising revenue can cover these investments;
Third, whether the company still has enough cash to continue repurchasing shares.
Reuters estimates show that by 2027, the incremental capital expenditures of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle could reach about $534 billion, with an increase of about $340 billion in operating cash flow over the same period. Simply put, for every additional $1 in cash generated, about $1.57 may be required.
This is the most sensitive aspect of current AI trading.
The technical demand remains, orders haven't disappeared, but the capital market is no longer willing to advance money indefinitely. Microsoft and Amazon need to prove that their cloud business can sell computing power; Meta needs to prove that AI has indeed improved ad conversions; Apple needs to come up with a clearer logic for switching devices.
Even if tech stocks deliver "good earnings" next week, they may continue to fall. Because the current standard has become: how good it is, and whether it deserves current valuations.
Don't just bet on earnings reports in trading. What's even more worth watching is how stock prices react to positive and negative news after the earnings report is released.
If good news comes out but doesn't rise, it often means the upper side is too strong; If the data is average but can't fall, it actually suggests that pessimistic expectations may have been released early.

· 12 hours: $637,800
· 24 hours: $2,317,700
Mostly and bearish distribution
Cycle: Bull liquidation, short liquidation, long position
1h $52,000 $491.39 99.1%
4h $79,500 $491.39 99.4%
12h $298,800 $339,000 46.8%
24h $675,000 $1,642,700 29.1%
Duokong interpretation
In the first 4 hours, long positions were liquidated and crushed short positions (long positions accounted for ~99%), causing prices to continue falling; 12-hour short liquidation at $339,000 started to overtake (53.2%), triggering a short squeeze; In 24 hours, short positions at $1.6427 million further crushed the bulls (accounting for 70.9%), with a full-scale short squeeze erupting and fierce escalation. Ultimate winner: Bulls—showing a pattern of "killing long → short squeeze burst," with bears facing large-scale liquidation.
Time distribution
· 1 hour accounts for 2.26% of 24 hours
· 4 hours accounts for 3.45% of 24 hours
· 12 hours accounts for 27.53% of 24 hours
Liquidation distribution is extremely late: the first 12 hours accounted for only 27.53%, while the 24-hour total volume is 3.63 times that of the 12-hour period, indicating that short squeezes surged sharply between 12 and 24 hours (about $1.68 million in the last 12 hours, accounting for 72.5% of the day). Currently, the market is at the peak of a short squeeze, with bears severely hit, but after extreme gains, caution is needed regarding profit-taking pressure.
A one-sentence explanation
$DOGE 24-hour short liquidations totaled $1.6427 million, accounting for 70.9% of the total. The short squeeze surged in the latter half, with bulls winning decisively.
🔥 Market Barometer | July 24th
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the cost of AI, regulatory stalls, and the breathing on the edge of the geopolitical cliff.
📊 Google and Tesla: The "bill" for the AI feast has arrived
Two financial reports have revealed the harsh truth behind AI narratives.
Google beats expectations but comes at a heavy cost: total revenue of $119.8 billion, up 24% year-on-year; Google Cloud revenue was $24.77 billion, an 82% year-on-year increase. However, capital expenditures reached $44.9 billion, and free cash flow turned negative for the first time to -$5.9 billion. After hours, it once fell nearly 5%.
Tesla's revenue growth without profit growth: revenue of $28.24 billion, up 26% year-on-year; However, operating profit was only $398 million, a year-on-year plunge of 57%, with an operating margin of just 1.4%. Free cash flow turned negative for the first time in over two years. It fell more than 4% in after-hours trading.
Signal: Google's AI has formed a closed revenue loop in its cloud business; Meanwhile, Tesla's Robotaxi and Optimus remain at the "story" stage. The market is punishing AI narratives that are concept-heavy but lack cash flow.
📜 CLARITY Act Stalled: A $1.4 Billion Ethical Dilemma
Regulatory hopes for the crypto industry are fading. Although Senate Republicans released updated text and added a morality clause, seven Democratic senators collectively vetoed it. Senate Majority Leader Toon Toon made it clear that the bill is unlikely to pass before the August 7 recess.
Fundamental obstacle: The roughly $1.4 billion gains Trump gained from crypto business became the biggest obstacle. The Democrats are demanding stricter ethical clauses to prevent the president from continuing to profit from the crypto industry under government oversight.
Polymarket forecasts show that the probability of passing within the year has plummeted from over 80% to 37%. Missing the August window and dragging into the autumn elections will greatly reduce the chances of passing in 2026.
🚢 U.S. military pauses airstrikes: a breather on the edge of a geopolitical cliff
On July 25 local time, Trump ordered the U.S. military not to launch new airstrikes on Iran that day, ending a 13-day continuous daily strike campaign.
A few hours before the airstrike pause, the Omani delegation had already arrived in Tehran to begin negotiations to resume navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly making progress. Brent crude had previously surpassed $100 per barrel, and if negotiations break through, oil prices are expected to retreat.
Signal: This is a tactical pause—to leave room for diplomacy, but the U.S. military is still preparing contingency plans for resuming strikes.
💎 Summary
Three events outline the core contradictions in the current market: The bill for AI is approaching—Google and Tesla are telling the market that, for the first time ever, negative cash flow is heating up faster than expected; The regulatory window is closing—the $1.4 billion ethical dilemma makes it hard for the CLARITY Act to pass within the year; How long the pause in the geography lasts depends on the success or failure of Oman's mediation. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time?

Although it's called a MEME leader, it really hasn't unlocked selling pressure
But the key lies in BTC's expression
The trapped market above is like a mountain, while the perpetual market keeps issuing new issuances. Relying solely on news to boost momentum simply can't sustain the trend
Without incremental funds flowing in, it is difficult for an independent market to emerge
It's fine to play short-term swing trading, but never treat it like a value investorIn the 2024-2025 market cycle, each wave of altcoin rally lasts no more than three months, then drops another 80%.
Within three months, only a few people have made it safe; losing money is because they treat stories as faith
The short-lived rise of the mountain leader is the inevitable result of the combination of four structures
1. Its buy order pool is the smallest, with only floating profit funds within the crypto circle; with no external increments, it buys off-market funds directly;
(2) It is the final blow in the rotation chain: when taking over, most of the funds in the buy order pool have already been cut off by mainstream coins;
(3) Its supply is unlimited: new tokens + unlock + project team dumping prices; the faster the price rises, the faster the supply surges;
(4) This round also saw ETF cut off its supply and meme stocks seized by memes.
I believe the future opportunity is DeFi, and three months is enough. #财报观察员: Who can truly understand the real answer sheet from Google and Tesla this time? $BTC Last night on my way home from work, I glanced at the US stock market and saw the tech sector collectively pulling back. My first reaction wasn’t "AI is over," but rather that the market is entering a more realistic phase.
This round of adjustment is actually quite representative.
The seven tech giants in the US lost nearly $800 billion in market value in one day, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all weakening together. On the surface, it looks like a tech stock decline, but the deeper issue is that investors are starting to ask a question again:
With such huge AI investments, when will it truly translate into profits?
In recent years, the market has had very high expectations for AI.
Everyone believes AI will change the future, so tech giants keep investing in building data centers, purchasing chips, and expanding computing power. This logic itself is not wrong; I even think the long-term trend of AI still holds.
But the capital market has a characteristic: when everyone believes in the future, funds start to calculate the future value in advance.
What the market is focusing on now is the time lag between investment and return.
For example, Google has raised its annual capital expenditure to nearly $200 billion, which means the company is continuously building larger AI infrastructure.
But the problem arises:
After increasing investments, can future revenue growth keep pace?
If the cash flow growth from AI business can’t keep up with capital expenditure expansion, the market will naturally start to reassess valuations.
This is similar to building a super factory; a bigger factory doesn’t necessarily mean higher profits. The key is how well the products sell and how long it takes to recoup costs.
Tesla is similar.
In the long term, areas like autonomous driving and robotics still have room for imagination, but heavy short-term investments may compress profitability, so the market will undergo repricing.
I think there is an interesting differentiation emerging in the AI industry chain now.
Upstream chip and hardware suppliers have already secured large orders due to growing demand; however, platform companies that have invested huge sums in building AI infrastructure are starting to face valuation pressure.
Simply put, tool sellers see revenue first, while miners start to consider costs.
But personally, I don’t think this means the AI logic is over.
I tend to believe the market is moving from "telling future stories" to "validating business models."
Just like many emerging industries go through adjustments during development, the survivors are often not the loudest companies but those that can truly convert technology into stable cash flow.
So when facing AI now, I think the most important thing is not to blindly be bearish, nor to rush to buy the dip when seeing a pullback, but to re-examine the gap between price and value.
The riskiest times in the market are often not when no one believes in the future, but when everyone believes in the future and forgets that the future has already been priced in.
Also, I’ve recently noticed that with the development of tokenized US stocks, assets like XGOOGL, XTSLA, and XSNDK have started to break through traditional trading time limits, allowing trading during non-US stock hours on OKX.
This is also part of market changes; the future investment environment may become increasingly around-the-clock.
In the past, it was about who got the news faster; now it’s more about who understands cycles and sees where the capital truly focuses.
Of course, long-term AI opportunities and short-term valuation fluctuations need to be viewed separately. In trading, I will still focus more on risk control and won’t ignore position management just because a sector is hot. $TSLA $GOOGL 📊 $BTC Quick Overview of Liquidation

Shorts in each cycle crushed the bulls (24-hour short positions accounted for 86.8%), indicating a sustained short-squeeze upward trend. Short positions account for 86%~96% of the 1-12 hours, with ongoing liquidations; 24-hour short liquidations totaled $5.84 million, 6.59 times the long position, resulting in devastating liquidation for the bears.

You may not be familiar with Toss, but Koreans can't survive without it—48 million users, even more national-level than $KLAY. This time, partnering with Optimism to launch a Korean won stablecoin POC is basically about putting fiat currency on-chain, sisters. I think this is bigger than expected. Korean regulation started loosening last year. At the end of 2025, the Financial Commission announced plans to launch an institutionalized stablecoin framework. Now Toss is directly stepping in to put it into practice—not just empty promises, but a real proof-of-concept $OP Superchain ecosystem. Lately, Base, Zora, and Mode have been draining liquidity from other L2s. Optimism itself is actually undervalued. But if I don't chase the 40% rally, I'll definitely have to go short-term. I'll buy back after a pullback. Better to earn less than to hit the peak. To be honest, The stablecoin sector has been extremely competitive lately. $USDT's market cap has surged to 120 billion, $USDC following the bank license, $PYUSD PayPal pushing it hard.

As of July 26, 2026, $SOL is quoted at $74.33, up 0.50% in 24 hours. The daily chart remains within a narrow range of $73.5 to $76.3, with liquidity drying up on Sunday and volatility fully following BTC.
All short-term moving averages are above SOL like ceilings: the 7-day SMA is at $76.18, and the 20-day SMA is at $76.70. The only support is the 50-day SMA ($74.00), but the 200-day SMA remains at $88.08, more than 17% above the current price. The MACD histogram has hit zero, the RSI is only 46, and buyers are hesitant. The Bollinger Bands %B is only 0.23, with prices tightly hovering at the lower band ($73.48) but unable to rebound.
Key support and resistance levels 📊
Resistance levels: $75.2 (1-hour long-bearish dividing line); $76.0 - $76.3 (4-hour moving average resonance resistance, intraday optimal short range); $77.5 - $78.5 (20-day moving average + trapped dense zone; stabilizing with increased volume is necessary to reverse weakness).
Support levels: $73.5 - $73.7 (50-day moving average, intraday bulls defending the bottom line); $70.5 - $71 (Lower Bollinger Band + previously a heavily traded area; if it fails, the box will be completely broken); $67 - $67.5 (bulls concentrate in the liquidation range; a break below this would open a deep downward move to the 60 level).
On-chain market players and capital movements 🐋
On-chain activity is extremely active but prices stagnate: Solana recorded 18 million active addresses last week, surpassing BNB Chain, TRON, Bitcoin, and Ethereum to rank first among all public chains. TVL has stabilized at around $5 billion. Over 62,000 dormant wallets became active again on the Solana DEX within a week, four times the number from the previous week.
Contract long positions are extremely crowded: 73.6% of retail investors and 75.2% of "smart funds" across the network hold long positions, with leverage exceeding 3.0. Open interest of about $669 million is highly favored long. However, real-time order flow is sending warning signals—the taker buy/sell ratio is 0.806, and sellers are flooding in with larger volume. Open interest fell 0.83% in 24 hours, and bulls did not gain confidence.
Divergence on the funding side: Circle minted $250 million USDC on Solana, the largest single mint in weeks. However, spot ETFs had a net outflow of $70.6 million in a single day on July 24.
Positive factors ✨
Stablecoin payments surged to $94 million per week: Solscan and Helius data show this represents actual business activity rather than speculative trading. Solana's low transaction costs (below $0.01) make it the preferred settlement layer for payment applications.
Strengthening potential deflationary mechanisms: SIMD-0096 proposes to redirect 100% of priority fees to validator nodes, and the underlying resource base fees under discussion could increase daily SOL burn by 10,000 to 65,000 coins. At current prices, the daily maximum supply has decreased by about $9.1 million.
ETF cumulative net inflows of $1.14 billion: Since the SEC approved the spot SOL ETF in October 2025, cumulative net inflows have reached $1.14 billion. Bitwise's BSOL product stakes 100% of its SOL holdings, aiming for an annual staking reward of over 7%.
Bearish factors ⚠️
Technically, there is a bearish structure: the price is below all short-term moving averages, the MACD zeroing is bearish, and the RSI of 46 shows buyer hesitation. CoinGecko's prediction model gives SOL only a 2.3% chance of reaching $90 by the end of July.
Macro liquidity tightens across the board: 10-year US Treasury yields hit an 18-month high, and the Iran war pushed oil prices above $100 per barrel. The expected probability of passing the Clarity Act before the August recess has decreased. SOL is one of the largest crypto assets with the highest beta value, and macro-driven position adjustments often amplify volatility.
Bullish Pressure Risk: $669 million in open interest is highly long. If the immediate support at $73.93 is breached, a chain stop loss will be triggered, and a price drop to $72-73 will be driven by forced liquidations by bulls.
Comprehensive assessment 🧐
$SOL is currently in a key phase of contesting within a narrow range of $73.5-76.3. On-chain 18 million active addresses and $94 million weekly payment volume provide medium-term fundamental support, but over 75% of long positions on the contract side are crowded, creating a sharp contradiction between real-time selling and buying pressure. $73.5–$73.7 is the short-term lifeline for bulls—holding the line could lead to another test of $76; If it effectively breaks below the threshold, the first target is $70.8; if it breaks through 70.5 with increased volume, the target is $67. On the macro level, the triple negative impact of soaring U.S. Treasury yields, rising geopolitical risks, and the delay of the Clarity Act suppressed risk appetite. Before trading volume stabilizes above $78.5, all rebounds are defined as downward repairs.
The above analysis is based on publicly available market data and does not constitute any investment advice. Please assess the risks yourself. $SOL #多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 #美军暂停对伊空袭, progress in negotiations for the opening of the strait #RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元 $321 for $XGOOGL, is this small bullish candlestick over the weekend credible?
Let's start with the market surface. Beijing time 2026/07/26 22:23 OKX data: $XGOOGL spot quoted at 321.12, opened at 319.19 in 24 hours, high 3.2178, low 316.01, trading volume about 5.514 million USDT, 24h VWAP at 321.09. Today is Sunday, and regular US stock trading is closed, but OKX's Unified Tokenized Stocks trade 24/7. Over the weekend, prices tend to have a bit of a "traditional market closing + market estimate" flavor, so you can't just treat them as Nasdaq intraday quotes.
The first contradiction: it hasn't risen sharply, but liquidity actually ranks at the front. Among stock-traded spot assets meeting a trading volume of one million USDT, $XGOOGL 24h +0.60%, slightly stronger than $XSPY's +0.57%, and more stable than the $XSPCX I just wrote. The $XSOXL that really surged was +4.16%, but the turnover was only about 570,000 USDT, making the slippage and order risk more obvious when chasing. So this round, I won't pick the most exciting ones; I'll pick a plate that seems more like someone is seriously trading.
The second contradiction: the price is close to VWAP, but the order book does not clearly follow the rise. The 1H RSI14 is only 50.6, not overheating; MA7 is at 321.38, MA20 is at 320.71, with prices sandwiched near the short-term moving average, indicating that the gap between bulls and bears has not yet widened. In the past 2 hours, it has shifted from 321.56 to 321.12, nearly stabilizing over 6 hours, while the 24-hour range has moved from 316.01 to 321.78. Simply put, there is support from below, and people are pushing the sales upward—it's not a one-sided rush.
The third contradiction: buying interest is solid, but recent transactions are biased toward selling. The buy one is 321.03, the sell is 321.12, with a price difference of about 0.028%. The 0.5% deep buy side is about 99,000 USDT, the sell side is about 97,700 USDT, and both sides are just above 100,000 USDT for 1% depth. The order book is fairly balanced. However, among the last 100 transactions, active buying accounted for only about 43.9%, indicating that short-term buying is not crushing but rather a rally where buyers are cashing in.
The key points are clear: look at 321.8 above; if it doesn't pass, it's a small box on the weekend; Only when the volume surpasses 324.5 will it be considered to reopen the 3-day high. First, look at 320.7, then 319.2. The real invalidation level is near 316.0. If it falls below and still can't recover 320, this small bullish candlestick is most likely just weekend pricing noise.
Short-term outlook: Do not chase the narrow rally above 321; wait for support near 320.7, or wait for volume confirmation at 321.8.
Swing view: As long as 319.2 is not broken, it will likely be a probing upper boundary with a convoluted trend; Above 324.5, then look at 328-330.
Medium- to long-term view: treat it as a tool for US stock market exposure, and don't amplify the small 24/7 weekend fluctuations into trends. To really increase weighting, wait until the traditional US stock market opens and the price gap narrows, then see if OKX's turnover can maintain the million-level level.
#XGOOGL #OKX #代币化美股 #UnifiedTokenizedStocks #美股观察SHIB surged nearly 40% in a single day, with many searching for a catalyst for the rally, and even long-standing tokens like LPT, which have been trading sideways, have also surged in the same wave. From another perspective, this is more like market makers taking advantage of the weekend to test sentiment, testing on-site capital activity and willingness to follow the trend, and this round of movement happens to coincide with Bitcoin's consolidation phase.
Overall market liquidity declined over the weekend, and a small amount of capital could trigger a significant rally. The main players' usual approach is to prioritize igniting the most recognizable stocks, create profitable effects, and observe how well the market follows the trend. This kind of weekend rally is not only a way for funds to gauge market sentiment but also to attract market attention through low liquidity.
Key note: If only a few old coins keep surging in succession without sustained volume growth, it will ultimately be just a game among existing funds. Beware of short-term scams fueled by low liquidity; do not blindly chase highs.

Ethereum validator exit queues have reached zero, which is an undeniable on-chain signal.
Previously, the market had long been concerned about selling pressure from large-scale staking unlocks, but now the willingness to exit has greatly diminished.
Risk-averse sentiment among on-chain funds has eased, and a large amount of staked tokens have chosen to continue accumulating on the network.
The phase of the largest short-term selling pressure is likely over, and ETH's chip structure is experiencing a phase of improvement.Now I need to be aware of the following issues. I only contact them through the official Gate app. Management, please address these issues. Please read the text carefully and avoid perfunctory rhetoric. Gate's meaning is: the 100,000 USDT and 800,000 ALD we paid according to the contract arrived in the "scammer's" wallet. Coincidentally, Gate's alpha automatically fetched ALD tokens, so the process of connecting to the coin cannot be disclosed. In the end, the scammer's wallet was transferred to Gate Is it true that alphas are airdropping?

When a project pays for it, lists tokens, and is then told, "The person communicating with you is not one of us, and the project is logged into Gate"—is this Gate's response?The PoL Next upgrade switched settlement tokens to WBERA, and the restructuring of retired BGT disrupted the original equity lock-up balance. The current core conflict lies in the struggle between the selling pressure triggered by reward liquidity release and the TVL growth efficiency of new pools.
During the session, $BERA experienced a 25% short-term sharp rebound, directly confirming that market funds had instantly revalued the liquidity premium after simplifying the dual-currency model, but also concentrated the demand for early profit-taking from high-priced chasing gains.
In terms of driver ranking, the instant cash-out attribute of settlement inflation takes precedence over retail buying caused by lowered operational thresholds, while the liquidation selling pressure from existing BGT interests from veteran miners forms a mid-level resistance. After switching to direct distribution of network-wide rewards via WBERA, inflation expectations shifted from delayed realization to immediate liquidity shocks, making capital extremely sensitive to the retention ability of ecosystem pool TVL.
The upside scenario needs to meet the TVL of the new liquidity pool, which can achieve exponential expansion after the upgrade. When retail investors can fully cover the direct inflationary selling pressure from WBAERA, prices have momentum to break above previous highs. The failure signal of this scenario is that after the new pool opens, net capital inflows stagnate or TVL growth falls short of estimates.
The downward scenario is driven by the combination of old miners' chip adjustments and profit-taking after positive news materializes. If BGT equity adjustments cause existing participants to exit in large numbers, and new pools fail to absorb this rebalancing pressure, the market will face a deep correction with a surge and pullback. The failure signal of this scenario is that large spot orders appear at key support levels to absorb and sell the market.
The failure condition for overall judgment is that during the mechanism transition period, the intensity of competition among ecosystem participants exceeds expectations. If the TVL scale of the new pool continues to shrink for several trading days, the original economic model revaluation logic will lose its data support.
The core variable to watch over the next 7 days is the net TVL growth curve of the new liquidity pool after the PoL Next upgrade and the real-time selling pressure absorption rate of WBERA.

Can the big bing be between 64,000 and 60,000?BTC 从 6 月底的 5.8 万美元下方重新爬回 6.4 万美元附近，市场情绪也跟着快速修复。 但如果你只看价格，很容易得出一个过早的结论：熊市已经结束，机构资金正在重新进场。 最新的 ETF 资金数据，给出了另一幅更复杂的画面。 7 月 20 日至 22 日，美国现货比特币 ETF 连续三天净流入，合计约 4.99 亿美元；紧接着，7 月 23 日净流出约 2.25 亿美元，7 月 24 日再流出约 2.40 亿美元。 也就是说，前面三天积累的流入，在后面两个交易日里被撤走了约 4.65 亿美元。 这不是“机构已经逃跑”，也不是“机构坚定抄底”。 它更像是在告诉我们：资金正在交易这次反弹，但还没有形成一致、持续的方向。 真正的分水岭，不是6.4万美元 Glassnode 在 7 月 22 日的链上报告中，把 6.9 万美元附近列为短期持有者成本线。 这个位置为什么重要？ 因为过去几个月进场的一批买家，平均成本就在附近。价格从下方向上接近时，部分套牢者终于接近回本，天然会产生卖出压力。 报告同时指出，6.3 万美元附近聚集着较厚的需求筹码，约有十分之一的供应最近在这一区域换手。 换句Tonight the community topics are especially fragmented

Coincidentally, there are a few hot topics worth mentioning today:
#RWA perpetual monthly trading volume $470 billion
RWA perpetual brings traditional asset trading onto the on-chain derivatives layer, the community loves to say "traditional finance is coming," but prices pay more attention to funding rates and real shares. $470 billion is a scale signal, not a license for you to buy unrelated mixing tokens. I separate topic heat from position structure; when heat is high, I reduce noise positions a bit.
#Ethereum validator exit queue has dropped to zero
Changes in the staking queue are interpreted as super bullish in the ETH community, often overdone in the short term. Zeroing the exit queue reduces exit shock but doesn’t mean the main rally starts immediately. When community narratives are fast and prices slow, it’s easiest to chase emotional peaks. I choose to treat the queue as a mid-term supply-demand note, not a community slogan for adding positions.
#Samsung Galaxy wallet will natively support stablecoins
A consumer electronics giant touching stablecoins makes the community easily imagine a mass adoption explosion. The real path is still constrained by compliant regions and user habits; heat will precede data. I welcome wider access, but my positions follow circulation and usage metrics, not conference barrage.

$BTC $ETH #反共识 #标题党Within just one week, market expectations for the passage of the CLARITY Act collapsed sharply.
Current market pricing shows that the bill has only a 37% chance of being successfully implemented within 2026. This figure held steady at 42% this Tuesday, and earlier this spring, the market once believed the bill was more likely to pass than 80%. Galaxy Research also lowered its forecast last Friday, lowering the probability of the bill from 50% earlier this month to 30%.
This bill is regarded by the market as a milestone regulatory framework for the U.S. crypto industry. Once implemented, it will solidify Bitcoin's digital commodity status through written law, eliminate the risk of repeated regulatory policy changes over the long term, and further remove barriers for large institutions to allocate $BTC. Many previous Bitcoin rally periods have already priced in optimistic expectations for this policy. Now that expectations for the bill's passage have cooled rapidly, the market needs to gradually absorb this policy premium, and regulatory uncertainty has once again become a medium- to long-term risk suppressing Bitcoin's price.
Senate Majority Leader Soane has stated publicly that he does not expect the bill to reach a final vote before the August recess, but he still hopes to push the bill into full Senate deliberation. If the window before the August recess is missed, the legislative process will likely be significantly delayed, and the time for policy benefits to be realized will continue to be extended.
For the bill to take effect, 60 votes in favor must be collected. Currently, Republicans hold only 53 seats in the Senate, with a significant vote gap. To break the filibuster-obstructing rules, they must win the support of multiple Democratic lawmakers across party lines, making current negotiations much more difficult than optimistic spring market forecasts.Many crypto investors have noticed that whenever the MEME sector rebounds, the first thing investors target is often $PEPE. Compared to the endless variety of native dogs, this little frog always manages to attract market attention repeatedly. Today, let's talk about its underlying logic and hidden pitfalls. First, background summary: PEPE was born in 2023, relying on the viral sad frog meme meme that went viral online, becoming the pioneer of the new wave of MEME. Unlike early DOGE and SHIB, it launches fairly, does not involve institutional private funding, and quickly attracts retail investors through meme culture, sparking a frog-themed meme craze across the internet. As a leading meme coin in the Ethereum ecosystem, its greatest advantage is its moderate market cap + top-tier liquidity. Unlike SHIB, which is massive and requires massive capital to surge; Moreover, compared to the endless small Dogou traders, trading depth is abundant, so entering and exiting the market won't slip easily, making speculative funds especially favored for short-term trading. Let's talk about the core logic of the current market: MEME funds always prefer the new and discard the old, but most new coins have very short lifespans and lose their hype within days. Whenever a new round of Dogecoin speculation ends, funds seeking safer speculative targets will flow back into PEPE. The market pattern is very clear: there is no long-term slow bull market; the market moves entirely according to market speculation. When the overall market's risk appetite increases and retail investors are willing to gamble, it surges rapidly; When capital shifts to narratives like AI and RWA, the hype fades, and prices quickly fall. Many people fall into a common misconception: treating PEPE as an asset to be accumulated long-term. It must be made clear: PEPE has no business launch, no ecosystem sustained returns, noRecently, BitMEX announced it would cease operations, and BitMart began to withdraw.
Just looking at one exchange shutting down doesn't say much, but as similar incidents become more common, it's worth reconsidering:
How many real new users and new capital do these industries actually have?
Just because an industry moves from incremental to stock doesn't mean it will disappear.
It's just that the old "everyone has something to eat" phase is coming to an end.
What is more likely to be seen next is the clearing of the weak, concentration of the top, and competition for existing stocks.
At the same time, traditional finance is also continuously entering the crypto space, and competition from native exchanges will only become fiercer in the future.
So sometimes, what's more important than predicting tomorrow's rise or fall is clearly understanding what stage the industry is currently in.
Price is the result; structural changes often happen earlier. Jumped 25% instantly! You told me it was a rebound? This is the main ascent wave! $BERA this move was so sudden, a bullish candlestick jumped straight up, and everyone in the group was asking what exactly happened. I checked on-chain news, and the first phase of the PoL Next upgrade has officially started. Simply put, Berachain wants to change the dual-token model, retire BGT directly, and from now on, all rewards across the network will be settled using WBERA. This change is huge—it completely overturns the old 'stake BGT to earn rewards' old system. Don't panic yet; I actually think this is a positive development. Veteran miners understand that although BGT offers a lot, liquidity is poor and monetization is troublesome, so the long-term lock-up experience is really poor. Now switching to WBERA means opening up the reward channel, allowing you to deposit and swap anytime, and retail investors can play too. Previously, during the BGT era, many people were afraid to enter because the operation was too complicated. Now, the entry barrier has been cut in half. The market is currently chaotic—some are dumping shares and selling off positive news, while others are frantically buying to gamble on new mechanisms. I think don't chase highs in the short term, but those with positions can hold steady and see if TVL can explode once new pools open. If TVL doubles, then breaking through previous highs for $BERA really isn't just a dream. That said, the PoL mechanism itself is Berachain's core moat. This time, changing the underlying economic model is an upgrade to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, it's a bit risky. After all, the old BGT miners might not be willing; if their interests are passive, everyone will be scolded. But the market bought this account, and candlesticks don't lie. The current sentiment is straightforward—funds are presentMajority Party Leader Threatens: CLARITY Difficult to Pass Before Adjournment, What Should OKX Users Think?
Just now, Senate Majority Leader John Thune made it clear that the likelihood of the CLARITY Act passing before the August recess is very low.
This news has had an impact on the global crypto market, especially for users trading on OKX, and it's worth a careful analysis.
Why is the CLARITY Act important to OKX users?
The core of the CLARITY Act is to clearly define regulatory boundaries for the U.S. digital asset market—specifying which are under SEC oversight and what is under CFTC, providing a clearer compliance framework for spot trading, derivatives, and stablecoins.
For a global trading platform like OKX, the direction of U.S. regulation directly impacts:
Institutional capital willingness to enter the US dollar stablecoin liquidity environment requires long-term asset pricing logic with high compliance requirements
If the bill passes smoothly, the certainty in the U.S. market will increase, and institutional funds will be more willing to participate; If delays continue, the regulatory ambiguity period will lengthen, and funds will remain on the sidelines, suppressing volatility and risk appetite.
The current time window is already very tight
Thun's statement basically confirmed reality:
The Senate is expected to enter a summer recess in early August, and with midterm elections approaching, political priorities will shift rapidly. Even if debates can begin, completing all procedures before the recess will be extremely difficult. Although the latest text includes an ethical clause (restricting senior officials from issuing crypto assets), Democrats still need at least seven cross-party votes, and so far, no clear breakthrough in the vote base is visible.
The actual impact on OKX traders
Short-term sentiment: The news is bearish, but the market has already priced in some 'delays before the recess,' so the probability of a sharp drop is low, and the rebound is mainly suppressed.
Medium-term logic: Regulatory uncertainty continues, institutional large funds will remain cautious, putting sustained pressure on high-beta knockoffs and small- and mid-cap projects.
Trading Perspective: Mainstream coins and trading pairs on OKX remain highly liquid, but overall risk appetite may continue to lean defensively.
How to respond?
Don't assume "the bill will definitely pass" as a prerequisite for the deal; the current probability has clearly decreased.
Watching whether the September session can restart and advance will be the next key window of observation.
The CLARITY Act has been in place for a long time, and now what's really stuck isn't the technical provisions, but timing and politics. Thun's words effectively gave the market a heads-up: stop treating "immediate implementation" as a short-term catalyst.
For OKX users, the most pragmatic attitude is to treat regulation as a long-term variable, not as a short-term trading signal. Risk control and strategic planning should still be done at your own pace. #多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 #美军暂停对伊空袭, negotiations on the opening of the strait made progress
The US and Iran respond to the peace talks proposal! Geopolitical breakthroughs are good for oil prices, but don't treat negotiations like a thirst-quenching spring
Today (26th), Sputnik Arab and Saudi media reported in succession that the United States and Iran have officially responded to Pakistan and Qatar's proposal to resume negotiations.
Once the news broke, many trading groups started to stir again, feeling that "the most dangerous moment in the Middle East is over, and risk assets are about to fly away." To be honest, seeing this logic of rushing in and leveraging high leverage based on a geopolitical essay, I can only remind you: equating diplomatic negotiation responses directly with liquidity floods in the crypto market is a typical macro misalignment.
From the perspective of traders on the market, let's carefully analyze the truth behind the resumption of US-Iran negotiations:
First, the U.S.-Iran responded to the negotiations by squeezing out the "geopolitical war premium" from Brent crude when it sprinted to $100. While the drop in crude oil does help ease medium- and long-term inflationary pressures, the transmission chain is extremely long—from falling oil prices, to CPI data reflecting it, and then to the Fed changing its stance at policy meetings, there is at least one or two quarters of macroeconomic lag in between.
Second, geopolitical easing cannot resolve the unresolved decisions by the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan next week. Next week, we will face the FOMC rate decision, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield firmly stuck at 4.7%. The Federal Reserve, the largest source of liquidity, has not yet been tapped; the average daily inflow of on-chain stablecoins remains at a nearly one-year low, and the market remains brutally contested through stock accumulation.
Third, diplomatic negotiations themselves are a long tug-of-war of interests. Pakistan's mediation between Pakistan and Qatar is just the beginning; subsequent issues involving sanctions lifting, nuclear facility supervision, and detailed rules for strait navigation safety could be repeated and twisted at any time. The biggest feature of geopolitical news is its high volatility and easy reversal. Using it as leverage results in a very low win rate.
My conclusion: The U.S.-Iran response to the peace talks is good for macro deinflation, but it is by no means the cure for a short-term surge in the crypto market. Before U.S. Treasury yields back and off-exchange incremental funds have not entered, any upward surge without volume is a trap for a bullish shakeout.
In terms of operations, I don't recommend rushing to leverage and go long just because you see news about peace talks. Rather than betting on the details of geopolitical negotiations, it's better to calm down and wait for next week's FOMC decision to see the real flow of funds before making any plans.
Do you think the US and Iran can reach a substantive agreement this time under Qatar's mediation? Let's talk in the comments.#以太坊验证者退出队列已降至零
I am the mid-term intelligence guy.
The Ethereum validator exit queue has dropped to zero. I've been watching this chain for almost a year—last September, the peak of 2.67 million ETH queued to exit was a panic sell-off at a high point; now that it's zero, it means "those who wanted to sell have already sold," and what's left are institutional treasuries, ETFs, and long-term nodes holding locked positions.
But don't get carried away. Exit queue zeroing ≠ immediate price surge; it only proves one thing: the endogenous selling pressure has been cleared in stages, and the market has shifted from "self-destructive realization" to "trading time for space." On the other side, the entry queue is stacked with about 2.48 million ETH, waiting 43 days. The supply-demand gap looks bullish, but queued entry does not equal new buying demand; much of it is existing ETH being re-staked, so don't directly equate "staking demand" with "price increase."
Mid-term judgment: The on-chain ETH chip structure is cleaner than in Q1, with a staking rate of 33.5%+ hitting a historic high, providing a floor below; but a real price breakout still depends on macro liquidity and whether L2 fees can hold. This signal means "the bottom is stable," not a "charge signal," so don't go all-in just because of one queue data point.
$ETH Clearing away the dust from clay tablets on the Mesopotamian plains three thousand years ago, the alliances and rivalries of the Far Eastern silicon kingdom before our eyes are nothing but a cliché of the Assyrian Empire and the Hittites vying for bronze ore veins!
When the two major high-bandwidth memory minting giants on the Korean Peninsula—Samsung and Hynix—were deeply bound on the same day by a long-term supply agreement and strategic heavy investment with the AI giant Ansoropic, it seemed even the dust on the archaeologist’s desk was shaken off by this bloody storm. I seemed to smell the urgency before the Peloponnesian War, when major city-states frantically stockpiled iron ore and grain. More intriguingly, Ansoropic’s new flagship model Opus 5, with performance approaching the extreme, was priced at half the cost. This is by no means an act of charity but a common historical pattern of “cheap iron strangling expensive bronze” — in the Roman military records, whoever could feed double the legions with half the grain could use their military edge to conquer all the city-states around the Mediterranean.
Meanwhile, the computing power pope Nvidia injected a billion dollars into Naver to build a computing fortress and joined forces with SK Group to construct an energy Great Wall reaching two gigawatts. This mirrors the imperial projects of Caesar in the first century BC, who built Roman roads, massive aqueducts, and underground granaries on the Gallic frontier. Computing power has long ceased to be a mere commodity and has evolved into the “imperial salt and iron monopoly” of the new era. When production capacity and electricity become insurmountable war barriers, veteran Intel surged over thirteen percent after its quarterly report, with Qualcomm following suit—these seemingly decaying ancient foundries are drawing their swords anew amid the ruins, signaling the entire industry’s shift from illusory bubble revelry to a bloody and brutal “capacity arms race.”
On the capital market’s reflected chain, the token $XPLTR, backed by an intelligence analysis giant, is the most insidious “imperial secret guard” in this new era arms race. As AI infrastructure is completely locked down by Far Eastern wafer fabs and North American warlord giants, the turbulence $XPLTR transmits on the secondary market carries not just corporate financial figures on paper but the fervent premium triggered by the empire’s intelligence network as it dams computing power. Just as the chief Roman spies sold military secrets to the Senate for gold coins, today’s speculators bet on tokens on the digital chain to gamble on war dividends. The deep human greed for power and information monopoly has not changed a bit over thousands of years.
There is nothing new under the sun. Whether it was the Phoenicians’ spice routes three thousand years ago, the California gold rush in the nineteenth century, or today’s high-bandwidth memory and gigawatt-scale clusters racing ahead, the essence of the frenzy is always the violent monopoly of scarce resources by the powerful capitalists. When the last wafer pipeline is laid, the fervent speculators will ultimately realize they have only paid a high minting tax once again on this empire’s ruins built of silicon wafers and tokens, for the ancient human weaknesses! #KoreaAIChipPush Unlike many little local dogs

But it reminds you of one thing
Safety incidents are not based on market value rankings
He always picks when you slack off
Then guess what
CZ came out to comment on BitMart's closure
Shutting down a centralized exchange is not easy
There are also concerns that the former team is leaving a backdoor
This statement is tougher than any slogan
A checkpoint does not mean the end of the clearance
System permissions and historical interfaces
is the thunder lurking in the shadows
Add in the aftermath of AFX attacks from a few days ago
Stories of hackers swapping warehouses and moving bricks are still circulating on the blockchain
You will understand
Transparent on the chain is a double-edged sword
Bad things can also be livestreamed
Dabing is still green near 64513 tonight
It was as if nothing had happened
But security incidents have never been digested by candlestick charts
It eats trust and habit
Who still uses 'audit screenshots' as a get-out-of-jail-free card?
Who's setting the stage for the next chapter?
My fingernails are not suitable for typing
I have even less interest in chasing so-called hacker concept coins
That kind of thing gets hot quickly
All that remains is a record of failed transfers
So my judgment is
Security modules must be audited in a single session
Switching to continuous monitoring and permission convergence
At the CEX level, listen to CZ's reminder
Shutdowns and handovers themselves are risk events
Individual Unlimited Authorization Less
Bridges and unconventional contracts are best avoided if possible
Green plates can't change my obsession
Let's also talk about a few hot topics🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran Signals It Will Halt Attacks If The US Keeps Strikes Paused
A possible off-ramp. Iran says it will stop its attacks as long as the US maintains the pause in its military operations. This follows the US holding off on new strikes for the first time in nearly two weeks, after 13 straight days of bombing Iranian targets.
Why it matters for markets is the oil chain. This conflict has kept a floor under crude by threatening the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway carrying a fifth of the world's oil. Every escalation pushed oil up, which revived inflation fear, which kept the Fed boxed in on rate cuts and pressured risk assets like Bitcoin. A genuine pause reverses that. Softer oil eases inflation worry, and that is the friendly setup crypto has been waiting for into the July 29 Fed meeting.
Here is the honest part, and it's essential. This exact scenario has played out three times already this year. Ceasefires in April, June, and again in July all collapsed within days, each time sending oil spiking and markets lower. The pause is a de-escalation signal, not a resolution. Netanyahu visits Trump next week, Trump has already threatened more strikes, and the mediators have watched every prior truce unravel.
What to watch:
Whether the pause holds through Netanyahu's visit and into next week.
Oil's reaction, and whether Bitcoin can reclaim $65K on the relief.
A ceasefire signal is genuinely good news, but this conflict has burned every optimist who bought it as permanent. Trade the confirmation, not the headline, and keep risk tight into an event that has flipped overnight before.
Does this pause finally hold, or crack like every truce before it?

On-chain market players and capital movements 🐋
Whale Re-enters: A SHIB whale that has been dormant for about six months has resumed accumulating, buying over 30 billion SHIB for approximately $125,000.
Exchange reserves hit a historic low: SHIB reserves on centralized exchanges have dropped to about 86.1 trillion, a historic low. In recent weeks, SHIB holdings on exchanges have continued to decline, and selling pressure may be easing.
Mysterious whales locked up for a long time: a whale cluster that has held about 103 trillion SHIB since 2020 (accounting for 8.51% of total supply) has not been sold off on a large scale to date.
Contract shorts were washed out: During this rally, about 2,300 traders were liquidated, totaling approximately $6 million, with shorts accounting for about $5 million.

Positive factors ✨
Burn rate surges 3200%: SHIB's burn rate surged over 3200% in the past 24 hours, about 500% weekly. The cumulative burned amount has exceeded 410.84 trillion, with the original supply down by 41.08%.
Korean retail investors are buying frenziedly: SHIB's trading volume on South Korea's Upbit exchange is almost on par with Binance, with KRW trading pairs accounting for over 10% of global trading and showing a slight premium over the US dollar market.
Whales resume accumulating: whales who had been dormant for half a year are buying again, combined with exchange reserves hitting historic lows—the dual tightening on the supply side creates strong supply and demand support.
---
Bearish factors ⚠️
Technical indicators are overbought across the board: RSI reached 79.88, %B value as high as 1.44 (price well above the upper Bollinger Band). Historically, there is a high probability of mean reversion within 1-3 trading days after such extreme readings.
Trading volume does not match gains: Binance spot trading volume is only $42.9 million. For a 32% gain, this volume is clearly low, more like amplification caused by thin liquidity.
KOL Collective Silence: SHIB surged over 30% in a single day, but mainstream crypto opinion leaders collectively remained silent—historically, this silence often appears at the top of peak candles.

Comprehensive assessment 🧐
$SHIB is currently in an extremely overbought state, following a typical short squeeze rally. Frenzied buying by Korean retail investors, whale accumulation, and a 3200% surge in burn rates have all acted as strong short-term catalysts. However, technical signals such as an RSI close to 80, a %B as high as 1.44, and mismatched trading volume and gains are all warning signs—CoinCodex forecasts a year-end target of only $0.0000034, about 18% lower than the current level. In the short term, watch if 0.0000050 can hold: If the sideways movement with shrinking volume cools the overbought indicator, there is a chance to re-attack 0.0000058-0.0000060; if it falls back quickly, the first support below is at 0.0000045. Chasing at higher prices carries great risk; it is recommended to wait for stabilization signals after a pullback.

Not because of a date
But because I came across a set of "slow money" data
My hand trembled and my eyeliner got smudged
Over at Hyperliquid
HYPE cumulative burn is about 47,270,000 tokens
Approximately 4.73% of the maximum supply
Burning is not just a market manipulation tactic
It's a real supply-side slimming down
And guess what
The Ethereum validator exit queue
Has dropped close to zero
Those who wanted to leave have mostly left
Staking-side pressure is easing up
Hayes is still buying ETH
Recently accumulated about 3,900 tokens
Putting these three things together
The picture is clear
Some are locking
Some are burning
Some are quietly moving spot assets
Not the kind of hype you hear in the square
About doubling tonight
BTC is still hovering around 64,513
ETF recent readable data still shows outflows of about 225 million
Institutional ledgers are cold
On-chain slow money is relatively warm
Two clocks running simultaneously
Easiest to make impatient people do the opposite
I used to treat staking and burning
As bull market side dishes
Now they feel more like ballast stones in a choppy market
They don’t guarantee a rise tomorrow
But they punish you for putting all your positions
On weekend sentiment
My hands are shaking while putting on makeup
Mostly from FOMO
Not a signal
What should really shake is
Whether you’ve confused leverage with slow money
So my judgment is
Slow money is suitable for base position logic
Not for ultra-short-term ignition
HYPE burn and ETH queue zeroing
I will keep them on my mid-term watchlist
Positioning will continue to favor spot and low leverage
Leave the "shaking hands" to makeup
Not to the open position button
I glanced at today’s news, a few points to mention:
#黄仁勋首推开源AI公开信，获行业集体背书
The open-source initiative has pushed AI narrative back to the center of public opinion, but the competition between computing power and model routes may not immediately turn into crypto buying pressure. Slow money prefers cash flow and lock-up structures, not the hype of an open letter. I treat this as a backdrop for tech risk appetite; main position logic still focuses on BTC levels and ETH staking supply and demand.
#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元
RWA perpetual volume hitting $470 billion shows that after traditional assets go on-chain, there really is a trading layer, not just a custody narrative. Like burning and staking, it belongs to the "slow structure," winning on sustainability and fees, not weekend sentiment pulses. I will track share and basis, not speculate on unknown altcoins just because of the RWA acronym.
#以太坊验证者退出队列已降至零
Queue zeroing reduces recent concerns about concentrated exits, a plus for ETH mid-term supply and demand, but short-term still depends on overall market risk appetite. Hayes’ continued buying looks more like high-net-worth cash flow voting, not retail slogans. My approach is to treat ETH as a slow position to observe, not to chase a queue number with high leverage over the weekend.
