1. Market Observation
Keywords: BNB, ETH, BTC
The Meme market on the BNB Chain is booming, with the on-chain market closely related to the words and actions of CZ and He Yi. The market's focus is on CZ's upcoming avatar change. In the past 24 hours, 4 new Meme projects on the BNB Chain have seen their market capitalization exceed $1 million. However, institutional investors are relatively cautious about Meme coins. Cathie Wood, the founder of ARK Investment, warned in a recent Bloomberg TV interview that most Memecoins in the $2.6 trillion crypto market will likely be "worthless" in the end. She pointed out that while the combination of blockchain and AI has spawned "millions" of Memecoins, these tokens have limited actual value, and ARK's private funds will not invest in such assets.
In contrast, Wood is optimistic about the development prospects of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, predicting that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030. However, Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant, said that although he has been bullish on the market for the past two years, the current data has clearly weakened, and the market may have entered a bear market. On the Ethereum side, the MVRV ratio is around 0.9, at a historical low, a level usually associated with good entry opportunities.
At the macro level, QCP Capital analysis believes that while the likelihood of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve this week is extremely low, any dovish signals from Powell could be a catalyst for Bitcoin's rise. Overall market volatility has eased, with the VIX index falling to around 20. In terms of institutional participation, a recent Coinbase survey shows that 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their cryptocurrency allocation this year, reflecting growing confidence in digital assets as the regulatory environment becomes clearer.
