[Key interpretation] The sell-off of $2.9 billion ETH flows into the exchange, and the financing interest rate drops sharply

HuobiPublicado a 2022-09-15Actualizado a 2022-09-21

Resumen

The important negative data of ETH appeared, the spot selling pressure soared, and the financing interest rate plummeted.

1. BTC short line is in the stage of preparation

The BTC price continued to fluctuate in areas with intensive transactions. In the short term, the price fluctuation space is small, and it is still in the stage of energy continuation. Therefore, BTC operation will remain stable in the short term. At present, the spot trading volume in the recent two weeks is very high, making BTC in the price range with relatively concentrated currency holding costs. Therefore, typical buying and selling signals will not appear until BTC successfully leaves the range.

Judging from the concentration of the main players holding coins, the concentration of Jujing's holding coins has decreased to the low point within the year, which means that there are more opportunities for the market to retreat downward.

2. BTC's address of holding coins drops

From the changes in the number of whale addresses of BTC, the recent decline in the number of whale addresses shows that the main investors have been in the currency issuing stage, and the signs of selling are growing. The number of BTC addresses dropped from 2282 at the beginning of the year to 2119 on September 14, a decrease of 163. A total of 163000 BTCs were transferred. From this perspective, BTC does not have the basis for a sustained rebound.

3. ETH scaling back

After the price continued to fall on September 13, the shock of ETH never ended. Especially when the trading volume has two consecutive pulse peaks, the main force has a strong impact on ETH. It is worth noting that the two impulse trading volumes both occurred during the ETH price pullback period, indicating that short sellers actively traded ETH, making the market more uncertain. After the large-scale decline, ETH will maintain its large-scale performance for a short period of time. Next, ETH is still under great rebound pressure, and the whole point of USD 1600 has become an important pressure line.

4. ETH financing interest rate plummeted

In terms of contracts, ETH's financing interest rate dropped significantly, to the lowest level in a year. The financing interest rate from September 13 to September 15 dropped to -0.053, -0.189 and -0.441. Among them, -0.189 and -0.441 are financing interest rates under abnormal conditions, which have never occurred since October 2019. According to this judgment, ETH's short-term contract trading initiative is obviously in the short side, and the bulls have no intention of bottoming at the low side, which makes ETH continue to be dumped one-sided. The bearish signal is very significant.

5. ETH flows into the exchange in large quantities

In terms of spot trading, the number of ETH flowing into the exchange remained at a high level. Since September 9, the number of ETHs flowing into the exchange has increased to 23.62 million in September, an increase of 1.76 million ETHs. At $1650, it is worth $2.9 billion. Compared with the flow of ETH in the past year, it is now the strongest flow of ETH. Considering that the number of ETH in the exchange is small, the impact on the price will increase significantly in the near future after the number of ETH flowing into the exchange explodes.

The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The Most Profitable MEV Bot Gets Hacked

A well-known and highly profitable Ethereum MEV Bot, Jaredfromsubway.eth, suffered a sophisticated on-chain attack this Saturday, losing over $7.5 million. Analysis by Blockaid and others reveals this was not a conventional phishing or smart contract exploit, but a targeted "counter-MEV honeypot attack." The attacker meticulously laid a trap over several weeks, deploying 66 fake token contracts and liquidity pools disguised as major assets like WETH and USDC. These pools created the illusion of arbitrage opportunities. The MEV Bot's automated system detected these signals, executed trades, and in the process, granted approval permissions to attacker-controlled contracts. These approvals were not revoked, creating a persistent vulnerability. The attacker then exploited this in a single transaction, draining the bot's ETH, USDC, and USDT holdings. Jaredfromsubway.eth is notorious as one of Ethereum's most active and profitable MEV Bots, primarily known for executing "sandwich attacks" to profit from transaction slippage. Estimates suggest it has earned tens of millions in MEV revenue. The incident highlights escalating crypto security threats, demonstrating that even top-tier automated "predators" are vulnerable to novel, logic-based attacks designed to exploit their own operational rules. Following the hack, an unverified X account impersonating Jaredfromsubway.eth emerged, falsely offering a bounty for the return of funds, prompting developer warnings for users to stay vigilant.

The Reality of Payments in Latin America Is Not What You Think

The payment landscape in Latin America is undergoing a fundamental shift, driven by on-the-ground realities that challenge common perceptions. Based on over 500 hours of field research across the region, key insights emerge. Firstly, QR code payments, like Brazil's Pix, are becoming the dominant payment method in most emerging markets, overtaking cards. However, these domestic instant payment systems lack international interoperability, creating a significant gap for cross-border users. Secondly, the narrative around crypto cards is often misunderstood; their primary volume comes from high-net-worth professionals using them for salary conversions (e.g., USDT to local currency via Pix), not retail micro-payments. Competition in payments is shifting from customer acquisition to controlling the settlement layer, leading fintechs to acquire banking licenses for efficiency. Thirdly, treating "Latin America" as a single market is a mistake. Countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico have distinct economic realities, user segments, and regulatory approaches. Brazil alone has at least five distinct user segments with different financial flows. Overlooked markets like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador (the "forgotten five") offer high remittance volumes with lower competitive density. Finally, regulation in Latin America is often ahead of the US, with clearer frameworks for digital assets and a pragmatic approach from regulators focused on safety rather than obstruction. The margin on stablecoin forex is rapidly compressing toward zero, meaning future winners will be those building value-added services on top of the infrastructure, not just the cheapest exchange.

Making Music in a Bear Market: The Survival Experiment of a Bitcoin Band

"Orange Pill Jam: A Bitcoin Band's Survival in the Bear Market" Orange Pill Jam is a musical group exploring themes of financial sovereignty and privacy, born from the Bitcoin community. Formed after singer Mermaid performed her song "Dollar Apocalypse" at a 2022 conference, the band creates music intended for both Bitcoin enthusiasts and general audiences. Their creative process involves Mermaid writing lyrics and melodies, which producer/multi-instrumentalist Michi then shapes with a precise, rhythm-focused approach, often demanding numerous retakes to achieve his unique standard of timing. Their songs, like "Cypherpunks' Manifesto" and "Fire of Freedom," tackle concepts of digital privacy, the pitfalls of "free" services, and personal sovereignty, influenced by experiences in places like El Salvador. Despite operating in a crypto bear market with a Copyleft model (offering music for free sharing/remixing and accepting optional Bitcoin donations), they face practical challenges. Their growth is slow on platforms like YouTube and Spotify, which aren't optimized for their niche content. The band also navigates the rise of AI-generated music. While acknowledging AI's efficiency for certain tasks, they believe human creativity occupies a unique space that algorithms cannot replicate—the ability to create new genres and capture intangible rhythmic feeling. For Orange Pill Jam, the core argument for both Bitcoin in a downturn and human artistry in the AI age lies in this irreplaceable, intentional, and imperfectly human creative process. Their project persists as an anti-algorithm experiment, valuing the unquantifiable impact of music over scalable metrics.
