Abstract

After the ETH callback, the rebound speed was faster, and the data supported the short-term changes in prices.

1. BTC volume stagflation

In the daily K-line of BTC, with the continuation of the adjustment, the BTC price operates below the medium rail of brin line, and the trading volume remains stable. This shows that the long and short has not yet reached the showdown stage, and the large-scale operation shows that the trading heat remains at a short-term high.

Judging from the direction of trading, from March to July 2022, when the trading volume rebounded, investors changed hands at a low level relatively fully, which has a lot to do with the decline of BTC price. As the peak value of BTC intra day trading volume is not at a new high, the longer the adjustment time, the greater the possibility of cooling the low trading heat. BTC investors have completed many transactions in more than half a year, and $17600 has become a strong support point for BTC. Low absorption can still refer to US $1.76 to buy BTC.

2. The number of BTC giant whale addresses shows signs of decreasing

The number of giant whale addresses in BTC has not reached a new low, but the downward trend is very obvious. As of July 26, the number of BTC giant whales was 2138, a decrease of 144 from the peak of 2282 in the year. In terms of quantity, the number of 114 megawhale addresses disappears, and the corresponding number of BTCs is 114000. The number of giant whale addresses not only shows a downward trend, but also in a state of accelerated reduction, indicating that the possibility of capital flight increases. Although the BTC point has not reached a new low since June 18, it does not rule out the possibility of retreating to a short-term low during the period of price shocks.

3. The number of unconfirmed transactions of BTC is low

The low number of unconfirmed transactions of BTC indicates that the current trading heat is not high. Most of them are investors with small capital volume who buy and sell BTC, so the transaction speed is relatively fast. Since the number of unconfirmed transactions fell from the peak on May 12, there has never been a significant rebound in the near future. The small number of unconfirmed transactions indicates that investors buy and sell BTC relatively smoothly. The data from the number of active addresses also showed that although BTC remained active in the daily trading volume, the number of active addresses did not continue to increase significantly, indicating that BTC price rebound is not a real price reversal signal.

On the news side, the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 75 basis points on July 28, pushing the benchmark interest rate back to 2.5%. Therefore, in judging the direction of BTC change, the possibility of price signs callback is greater.

4. Eth continued technical rebound

In the daily K line of eth, the price continued the performance of technical rebound, and the starting point of the rebound began from the $1349 corresponding to the brin line. In terms of trading volume, the intraday trading volume of eth has shrunk to the vicinity of the equivalent line, and there is no chance of further contraction in the short term. Therefore, the rebound trend continued, raising the price strength. The abnormal data on the chain also indicates the possible change expectation of eth.

5. The number of eth daily active addresses soared

The number of daily active addresses of eth soared significantly, reaching a peak of 1.178 million on July 26, which means that the trading heat shows signs of rapid warming. The soaring number of active addresses may be an important signal of disk change. At least from the middle of 2021, the number of eth daily active addresses has not exceeded the maximum 979000. At present, the number of active addresses has rebounded. If the data is accurate, ETH will have more opportunities to rise in this price change.

Matrixdock Featured Again in SBMA’s 《Crucible》: Discussing How Tokenisation Enhances Efficiency in the Precious Metals Market

Matrixdock's research article, titled "Why Tokenisation Matters for the Bullion Industry and How Carrying Costs Fit In," has been featured again in the SBMA's industry publication *Crucible*. Authored by Matrixdock lead Eva Meng, the piece examines how tokenisation enhances the efficiency and utility of the precious metals market. The article argues that tokenisation builds upon the accessibility improvements brought by gold ETFs, not by redefining gold's value but by enabling it to function within digital finance. It extends gold's role beyond a portfolio holding, potentially facilitating instant settlement, digital collateral, and operation in 24/7 markets. A key focus is transparently handling the unavoidable carrying costs (storage, insurance) of physical assets like gold and silver. Matrixdock introduces the Fungible Reserve Standard (FRS) framework, based on an "Economic Purity Principle," which aims to reflect these real-world economic costs clearly within the token mechanism, rather than bundling them opaquely. The platform's practical applications are highlighted, including its gold token XAUm and its silver token XAGm, the first built on the FRS framework. As the tokenised gold market surpassed $6 billion in February 2026, the industry's focus is shifting from initial proofs of reserves to broader concerns of market efficiency and capital utilization. Tokenisation is positioning gold and other precious metals to become active components within the evolving digital financial system.

New Huo Research: Dense Bottom Fishing in the $60K BTC Range, a 'High Value-for-Money Zone' Sees a Handover Surge

Bitcoin has shown a significant oversold rebound this week, with extreme panic in the crypto market easing. Multiple data points indicate a notable market bottom is forming. On the market front, the net outflow from Bitcoin spot ETFs has continued to shrink, and the negative premium between Coinbase and USDT is steadily correcting. Industry fundamentals suggest the shutdown cost for mainstream miners is concentrated between $30,000 and $50,000, potentially solidifying a阶段性 industry cost floor—a classic signal of market bottoms in previous cycles. Institutional capital is notably positioning against the trend. For instance, Sinohope Group's weekly OTC trading volume surged over 8 times环比, with active platform users doubling, both reaching record highs. This confirms a sharp increase in large capital transaction activity and a spike in off-exchange funding demand. Sinohope Research also observed on-chain data showing that funds from entities with public company attributes and long-term "whale" wallets are actively accumulating Bitcoin around the key $60,000 price level. The research institute has maintained since mid-May that a high-value investment window has reopened, and the market is now undergoing a shift from panic selling to long-term holding. Looking ahead, the core drivers for an upward market move will be liquidity release and macro policy developments. The successful and strong performance of SpaceX's IPO has reignited market optimism, and the massive liquidity frozen during its subscription period is now being unlocked. This substantial capital is expected to seek new value opportunities, potentially flowing into currently undervalued assets like Bitcoin. On the macro and policy front, the tone set in Kevin Warsh's upcoming speech at the FOMC meeting is crucial for near-term monetary policy expectations. Furthermore, the potential passage of the CLARITY Act by late July could significantly boost institutional confidence for capital entry. Considering these bottoming signals alongside favorable liquidity and policy factors, Sinohope Research remains optimistic about the market's subsequent trajectory.

Uncovering the 'God of Investment Research' Behind Citrini: Perpetual Substack Chart-Topper, a Single Report Evaporated Trillions from US Stocks

Revealing the "Research God" Behind Citrini: A Non-Finance Founder Shaking Up Markets Citrini, an independent research firm consistently ranked #1 on Substack's finance charts with nearly 250,000 subscribers, has gained significant attention in the current bull market. Its founder, James van Geelen, holds dual degrees in biology and psychology from UCLA, with a background as an emergency medical technician and a healthcare entrepreneur before founding Citrini. The firm is known for its deep, narrative-driven analyses focusing on long-term "super trends" like AI, geopolitics, and macro policy. Citrini made headlines in February with its report "The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis," a thought experiment on AI's potential societal impact. Despite being labeled a scenario analysis, it triggered a widespread sell-off in software and related stocks, briefly wiping hundreds of billions from the US market. Other notable reports include an on-the-ground analysis of the Strait of Hormuz and accurate calls on the copper foil industry's importance for AI/semiconductors. Geelen champions "second-order thinking," focusing on the indirect consequences of events. His investment style is thematic and often contrarian, seeking opportunities others miss. Citrini operates with a founder-driven, anonymous elite team model, recently adding specialists in macroeconomics and semiconductor analysis. The firm also manages a model portfolio, Citrindex, which has reportedly achieved over 200% cumulative returns.

Ethereum Q1 2026 Review: On-chain Activity Hits New Highs, Tokenized Assets Lead the Industry

Ethereum Q1 2026 Review: Chain Activity Hits Record High, Tokenized Assets Lead the Industry In Q1 2026, the Ethereum ecosystem displayed a dual narrative: record-high on-chain activity coincided with declining USD-denominated metrics. User adoption surged, with monthly active addresses reaching 13.2 million (up 53.5% QoQ) and layer-1 transactions hitting 200.4 million (up 38% QoQ). However, the total value locked (TVL) decreased 11% to $316.2B, and protocol revenue fell 16.9% to $2.0B, largely due to a broader crypto market downturn. Tokenized assets emerged as a key strength. Their total market cap reached $203.4B, with significant growth in tokenized funds (+73.1% YoY) and commodities (+325.9% YoY). Ethereum dominated cross-chain comparisons, holding over 61% of stablecoin value and 84% of tokenized commodities value among top chains. A major development was the impact of network scaling. The "Blob" upgrade significantly increased data capacity, causing average transaction fees on layer-1 to plummet 47.9% QoQ despite higher usage. This demonstrates the "Jevons Paradox" in action: cheaper block space stimulates demand. The report highlights Ethereum's established position as the primary settlement layer for institutional tokenization, evidenced by new fund launches from giants like BlackRock and JPMorgan in May. Analysts draw parallels between Ethereum's current stage and the internet in the mid-1990s, suggesting its open, neutral network is poised to become the foundational infrastructure for global finance, outcompeting closed, private alternatives.
