Coinbase survey: More than 70% of crypto investors believe that Bitcoin is undervalued and the market may be at the end of a bear market
According to ChainCatcher news, the latest global investor survey by Coinbase and Glassnode shows that more than 70% of crypto investors believe that Bitcoin is currently undervalued, with 82% of institutional investors and 70% of non-institutional investors believing that the market is in a "late bear market" or "value retracement phase". The survey covered a total of 91 global investors, including 29 institutional and 62 non-institutional investors.
The data shows that about 75% of institutional investors and 61% of non-institutional investors believe that BTC is undervalued, with only a few respondents believing that the price is overvalued. On-chain data also releases signals biased towards the bottom area. CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu's Bitcoin Combined Market Index (BCMI) recently rose from 0.26 to 0.37, which combines MVRV, NUPL, SOPR, and market sentiment, historically corresponding to a period of deep undervaluation of Bitcoin. Additionally, the realized market capitalization share of short-term holders from 1 week to 1 month has dropped to 3.91%, close to the level when Bitcoin was around $27,000 in October 2023. Analysts believe that this means that the speculative activity of the market has decreased significantly, and Bitcoin may be entering the "value accumulation range".
Vitalik address is suspected of initiating programmatic liquidation of junk meme coins, and continues to sell at the positive minute
ChainCatcher news, Arkham on-chain data shows that the Vitalik Buterin address (0xAb5... is intensively selling various meme tokens, with a transfer frequency of up to several minutes, and the fund flow shows that there is a continuous return of ETH to the account during the same period.
There is widespread speculation that it is using automated scripts to liquidate airdropped junk tokens in wallets in batches. A single amount is generally in the range of tens to hundreds of dollars. This is not the first time such an operation has occurred. In 2021, Vitalik sold or donated a large number of meme coins (including SHIB, etc.) airdropped to its address by the crypto community, causing sharp market volatility. It is unclear whether this operation was actively triggered by a human or entirely automated program. Given the market influence of Vitalik addresses, holders of relevant meme coins need to be aware of potential selling pressure risks.
Source: The U.S. military has prepared a "short-term and strong" strike plan against Iran
U.S. President Trump said he would continue to impose a naval blockade on Iran until Iran agreed to reach an agreement that would dispel U.S. concerns about Iran's nuclear program. It is understood that Trump rejected Iran's plan to "lift the blockade first, resume navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and then postpone negotiations on the nuclear issue", emphasizing that the blockade is the most effective means of pressure at present. He said the blockade was "more effective" than a direct military strike, and said Iran was under great pressure because it could not export oil. The source said that the U.S. military has prepared a "short-term and strong" strike plan, and if negotiations continue to be deadlocked, the United States may consider striking Iran's critical infrastructure to force it to return to the negotiating table.

Bitcoin was blocked by options positions "fenced" at the $80,000 mark
According to ChainCatcher, Bitcoin recently rebounded to a high of $79,477 and then fell back again, currently hovering around $77,000. Options market data shows that traders are intensively deploying on the $80,000 frontline, forming what analysts call the "electric fence" effect - a large number of short positions have accumulated in the range of $80,000 to $82,500, forming strong resistance; The lower level of $76,000 to $77,000 is the risk concentration zone for long liquidation, putting the price in a two-way pressure stalemate.
From a fundamental point of view, there is no shortage of long support in the market: Bitcoin spot ETFs have a net inflow of more than $2 billion, Strategy has purchased 34,000 BTC in a single month, and Morgan Stanley's ETF has attracted $153 million in gold two weeks after its launch. USDC reserves on Binance climbed to $7.5 billion from a low in March. But the macro pressure has not yet been cleared. The Fed's interest rate cut expectations are close to zero, the geopolitical situation continues to disturb risk appetite, and the cumulative funding rate is still close to -4.5%, indicating that the derivatives market as a whole is bearish. Analysts judged that $80,000 is not a valuation anchor, but a liquidity threshold piled up by leveraged positions. Whether it can break through effectively will largely depend on the catalysis of this week's Fed interest rate meeting and inflation data.
Ripple expands partnership with Bullish, and Ripple Prime will have access to the Bullish Bitcoin options market
ChainCatcher news, Ripple and digital asset trading platform Bullish announced the expansion of their long-term partnership, and Bullish's Bitcoin options market will be open to Ripple Prime institutional customers.
According to the announcement, the integration will give Ripple Prime users direct access to Bullish's regulated BTC options market. Bullish said its platform is currently the world's second-largest crypto-settled Bitcoin options market by open interest, and it already supports spot, perpetual and delivery contract trading. Additionally, the parties revealed that OKX has entered into a strategic partnership with Ripple to introduce the stablecoin RLUSD (Ripple USD) in the compliant market. As one of the world's largest non-bank prime brokers, Ripple Prime has already exceeded $3 trillion in liquidation in 2025, providing multi-asset brokerage, clearing, and financing services.
Market expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates before 2027 have cooled significantly
ChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten, Kalshi predicts that the market's pricing shows that the market believes that the probability of a rate cut by the Fed before 2027 is currently only about 50%, a significant drop from the probability of up to 80%-90% earlier this year. The FOMC meeting comes as the market is actually pricing in an interest rate environment where "high rates remain higher" for longer, indicating a lack of confidence in the near-term easing of monetary policy.

U.S. senators are pushing the Clarity bill into the deliberation process, and the terms of stablecoin income may be clear
According to ChainCatcher news, crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that U.S. Senator Thom Tillis plans to push the Clarity bill into the Senate Banking Committee's markup stage as soon as possible, and said that legislative progress "has reached a lot of consensus" and should now enter the formal promotion process.
Thom Tillis said in Congress that he will request the chairman of the committee to schedule a deliberation session after the congressional recess, and expects to release the legislative text on stablecoin yield provisions 4 to 5 days before the deliberation for early review by the industry and related parties. Most banking concerns about the risks associated with stablecoin returns have been echoed in the discussion, and institutions that still have comments are encouraged to "participate in improving legislation in good faith." In addition, Thom Tillis mentioned that he generally supports the direction of the legislative framework proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis on issues such as the potential impact of software developers and law enforcement applying the 1960 criminal provisions. This statement means that U.S. crypto regulatory legislation is accelerating into a substantive stage of substantive advancement in the definition of stablecoins and developer responsibilities.

21Shares executives: Bitcoin may hit $100,000 this year, and institutions are accelerating their entry
According to ChainCatcher news, Adrian Fritz, chief investment officer of 21Shares, said that spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract capital inflows and are strengthening Bitcoin's core position in institutional asset allocation, even if the price is still fluctuating below $80,000. Adrian Fritz pointed out that Bitcoin ETFs have attracted nearly $2 billion this year, with funds covering retail investors, institutions, and hedge funds trading arbitrage and option strategies.
As traditional asset management institutions such as Morgan Stanley accelerate their layout, crypto assets are being more widely included in multi-asset portfolio allocation. Bitcoin's current daily trading volume has exceeded $50 billion, and its liquidity level is close to that of large technology stocks such as Nvidia.
Although the market is still suppressed by the macro and interest rate environment, Adrian Fritz believes that ETF inflows have shifted from speculation-driven to structural demand, and expects Bitcoin to challenge the $100,000 mark this year, driven by factors such as geopolitical improvements, continued capital inflows, and short covering. At the same time, altcoin divergence has intensified, and the market is shifting towards asset selection logic that emphasizes more fundamentals and cash flow.

Dr. Han, Founder and CEO of Gate: AI and Web3 accelerate product iterations and promote continuous user experience upgrades
According to ChainCatcher news, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han recently said in an interview with The Block that the integration of AI and Web3 is accelerating the improvement of industry efficiency. The company has fully opened AI enterprise accounts for team members, which are widely used in scenarios such as coding and development, significantly improving overall production efficiency.
On this basis, the product iteration rhythm has been greatly compressed from the past "several weekly updates" to "daily updates". At the same time, Web3 provides AI agents with automated payment capabilities, enabling low-cost and efficient fund settlement through on-chain protocols. AI has also become an important tool for dealing with massive on-chain assets, which can quickly complete liquidity screening and transaction path optimization based on instructions.
When talking about compliance and industry competition, Dr. Han pointed out that the current crypto trading platform has become homogeneous at the product experience level, but fierce competition continues to promote the improvement of overall service levels. Gate currently has regulatory coverage in 81 jurisdictions around the world, compliant operations in 46 US states, and a European MiCA license for 29 European markets, as well as relevant licenses in Dubai, Japan and Australia. Blockchain is gradually evolving from a single cryptocurrency carrier to an infrastructure that carries multiple assets.
Dr. Han believes that as AI and Web3 continue to integrate, Gate is continuously optimizing the user experience and pushing the platform to extend to a wider range of daily usage scenarios.

xAI case reveals the problem of large-scale parallel use of GPUs: AI computing power "can be bought ≠ used well"
Odaily Planet Daily News xAI's latest practice shows that even if a large number of Nvidia server-level GPUs are successfully obtained, how to efficiently utilize them is still one of the core bottlenecks faced by AI training.
As AI developers continue to compete for Nvidia's computing power resources, the issue of tight GPU supply has been widely concerned, but the new challenge in the industry lies in "usage efficiency" itself. AI model training often exhibits a distinct "bursty" characteristic: the GPU runs at high intensity for a short period of time and then enters an idle period for outcome analysis and strategy adjustment.
This uneven pattern of computing power usage makes it difficult for large-scale GPU clusters to maintain sustained high utilization, making computing power waste significant even when hardware is sufficient.
Industry insiders pointed out that this problem is forcing AI companies to redesign training architectures and scheduling systems to improve the overall utilization efficiency of GPU clusters, rather than just expanding the scale of computing power. （The Information）

Stellar CMO: The crypto industry needs to say goodbye to the "rich narrative" and turn to "get rich slow" to win mainstream trust
Jason Karsh, the new chief marketing officer of the Stellar Development Foundation, said that for the crypto industry to achieve mainstream adoption, it must shift from short-term speculation and "hype cycles" to long-term value creation, emphasizing that "get rich slow" is the key path to building trust.
Karsh pointed out that the industry's long-standing reliance on obscure terms and technical expressions has widened the cognitive gap with the average user. He argues that crypto "peaked prematurely at the public level" due to the speculative frenzy in the early days, distorting its true value potential. He emphasized that the real opportunity lies in rebuilding global financial infrastructure for more efficient flow and storage of value, and that the Stellar Development Foundation, which has been focusing on payments and cross-border financial applications since 2014, is now benefiting from the gradual regulatory recognition of stablecoins and tokenized assets.
Karsh referred to stablecoins as "the first killer app" but also noted that there are still barriers to understanding among the masses, suggesting redefining them as "programmable dollars." He said that the industry's future goal is to push trillions of dollars of assets on-chain, but the key is to rebuild trust simultaneously from the product and narrative level, rather than relying on token issuance to drive growth. He concluded that the next round of crypto growth will come from the replacement of traditional financial infrastructure, not just a speculative cycle, but it is still necessary to prioritize the basic popularization stage of "attracting 100 million real users" in the short term. （CoinDesk）
