Odaily News Bitwise released its "Q3 2026 Staking Report," showing that 40.2 million ETH has now been staked, accounting for 33% of the total ETH supply, a new all-time high. The increase in staking this year has primarily come from institutions, including staking ETFs, corporate treasuries, and other large holders. The report also indicates that the staking rates for the networks covered by Bitwise remain high, with Solana at 68%, Near at 45%, Hyperliquid at 44%, and Avalanche at 41%.Additionally, Ethereum’s throughput increased by 73% year-over-year, while Avalanche’s transaction volume reached four times that of the same period last year. Recently, Coinbase and Circle also staked 500,000 HYPE each on Hyperliquid, signaling that institutional staking is expanding to more emerging PoS networks.

Bitcoin rebounded above $61,000 on Thursday, recovering from 21-month lows hit earlier this week, showing signs of stabilization following a period of high volatility. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of approximately $296 million on July 1, extending the trend of capital exodus. June alone saw outflows of about $4.5 billion, marking one of the worst months on record. Among them, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF led with a single-day net inflow of $36.3 million.On-chain data indicates that long-term holders have re-entered an accumulation phase after an extended period of distribution, with buying pressure increasing from addresses holding 100–1000 BTC. Currently, approximately 10.83 million BTC are in a state of unrealized loss, surpassing the 9.22 million BTC that are in profit. Glassnode analyst Chris Beamish noted that the Coinbase order book shows increased buying depth, and market makers' Gamma positioning is stabilizing, suggesting structural support is forming. However, the derivatives market remains cautious. The options market Put/Call ratio has risen to a one-year high, with implied volatility increasing, reflecting heightened demand for hedging. Meanwhile, long leverage exposure on Hyperliquid has climbed to a cyclical high, indicating diverging market sentiment.On the price structure front, Bitcoin briefly broke below $58,000 before repeatedly testing support. It currently remains below the critical Gamma Flip zone of around $68,000. The realized price of approximately $53,000 is viewed as a key structural support level. On the macroeconomic front, US non-farm payroll data came in below expectations, pushing back expectations for the timing of interest rate cuts. The broader crypto market remains in a phase of capital rotation and structural competition. (The Block)
according to analyst Murphy's post on X, data shows that retail addresses holding less than 1 BTC have accumulated a net total of 23,074 BTC over the past 30 days. This accumulation occurred in three distinct phases, notably when Bitcoin was around $66,000, $70,000, and $80,000.At the same time, whale addresses holding more than 10,000 BTC began large-scale accumulation starting from the $66,000 level, with their 30-day balance peaking at an increase of 140,699 BTC. This marks the largest net growth in nearly two years, exhibiting clear signs of position building.Analysis suggests that the investors still actively participating in Bitcoin trading within the current market have mostly experienced multiple market cycles. The significant inflow of whale capital also indicates that the market is moving in the direction of least resistance.
Odaily News: Garrett Jin, representative of the "BTC OG Insider Whale," published an analytical article titled "A Painted Ceasefire," warning crypto traders not to be lulled by the surface-level market trends. While the market appears stable, underlying risks are continuously building. He pointed out that following Trump’s visit to China, the window for a US-Iran military conflict could reopen at any time. This current ceasefire is merely a delay in confrontation, not the beginning of favorable developments. Market sentiment is currently highly optimistic, with Saudi Arabia and Iran reaching a cooperation memorandum, impressive earnings reports from tech companies, rising South Korean stocks, and Bitcoin approaching the $82,000-$83,000 range. However, macro-level hidden dangers are gradually emerging: a liquidity drought in large corporate transactions, airline bankruptcies, banks provisioning for potential war losses in advance, and Berkshire Hathaway’s cash reserves hitting a new all-time high. Garrett Jin predicts that late May could be a key turning point. If tech giants continue to exceed performance expectations, the risk window may be delayed until the July earnings season.
