Castle Labs: The crypto market is shifting from “gambling” to “investment”; revenue generation and value returns will become the core competitiveness of tokens.
Castle Labs (@castle_labs) published a post stating that the current crypto market is undergoing a profound paradigm shift—speculative models prioritizing extraction are gradually giving way to investment logic oriented toward revenue generation. The article notes that since 2026, the broader crypto market has performed poorly: most assets have seen sustained price declines, ETF funds have continued flowing out, project shutdowns have intensified, and institutional VC investments have grown increasingly conservative. The key catalysts for this shift were last October’s large-scale liquidation event and the ongoing market reflection triggered by gold consistently outperforming Bitcoin. On the revenue data front, among the roughly 5,700 protocols tracked by DeFiLlama, only 3.5% generated over $100,000 in revenue over the past 30 days—and fewer than 1% actually distributed earnings to token holders. The article focuses on top revenue-generating protocols—including Hyperliquid (HYPE), Pumpdotfun (PUMP), Tron (TRON), Sky (SKY), Jupiter (JUP), Aave (AAVE), and Aerodrome (AERO)—analyzing their price-to-sales ratios (P/S) and token holder return metrics. It argues that protocol revenue—and its capacity to feed value back to token holders—is becoming the core metric investors use to evaluate and select projects. Regarding institutionalization trends, traditional financial giants—including NYSE, Robinhood, BlackRock, and Franklin Templeton—
Bitcoin Hovers Below Key Resistance Level as Analysts Diverge on Outlook
According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is currently trading at approximately $71,200, while Ethereum trades at $2,185; the broader market remains range-bound. Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone warned that if Bitcoin fails to reclaim $75,000, it risks falling as low as $10,000; conversely, Fundstrat founder Tom Lee believes the market bottom has already been established. In derivatives markets, Bitcoin futures open interest rose to 726,000 BTC, with the 24-hour Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) remaining positive for two consecutive days and funding rates slightly above zero—indicating an overall bullish bias. In contrast, CVD and funding rates for ETH, XRP, and Solana are marginally negative. The volatility index continues to decline, with the market anticipating price swings of only about 2.5% around Friday’s inflation data release. Among altcoins, MANA and AERO each rose roughly 6%; however, MANA’s gain coincided with a 25% surge in open interest, suggesting leveraged trading drove much of the move. Market participants are closely watching whether Bitcoin can decisively break above and hold $75,000—if achieved, it could trigger capital rotation into oversold altcoin sectors.
LAPTOP: 4 million tokens to be used to incentivize Aerodrome liquidity, with another 10 million to be burned
Odaily reports: The Hunter Biden Meme token LAPTOP Foundation has announced that the LAPTOP initial liquidity pool launched at a price of $0.05. Due to high market demand, participation by sniper bots, and insufficient initial liquidity from market makers, the price rapidly surged and then fell back in a short period. To improve liquidity, the team will inject 4 million LAPTOP tokens (0.4% of total supply) starting September 10 at 00:00 UTC to incentivize the Aerodrome liquidity pool. In addition, two prediction events in the Predictions allocation have been confirmed to settle as YES, corresponding to 10 million LAPTOP tokens that will be burned, accounting for 1% of total supply.The team also stated that the 30% of LAPTOP held by the founding team will be locked for 6 months and gradually unlocked over two years, custodied by Coinbase Custody; the 30% of tokens in the Predictions allocation will be locked for 12 months. Another 80 million LAPTOP will be claimable by subscribers who joined Hunter Substack before September 6, and any unclaimed portion after the 30-day claim period ends will be burned.

US equity exposure can now participate in DeFi on-chain, Coinbase natively launches tokenized stocks on Base
: Coinbase announced that its tokenized stocks have been natively launched on the Base chain, built on the B20 standard, with the underlying stocks actually held on a 1:1 basis by regulated custodian Alpaca through a bankruptcy-remote structure. Token holders directly own the corresponding stock ownership. Non-US users in globally compliant jurisdictions only need a wallet and an internet connection to gain US equity exposure without a brokerage account or waiting for settlement, and can trade in a 7×24 AMM pool. The first batch supports companies such as Apple and Nvidia. Tokenized stocks can be freely held, transferred, and traded, with no whitelisted wallets or platform lock-ups. Users can use tokenized Nvidia stock as collateral to borrow on Aave, or deposit Apple stock into a decentralized exchange to earn yield. Dividends and stock splits are handled through an on-chain multiplier mechanism. Ecosystem projects such as Aerodrome and Aave have publicly supported the B20 standard. Coinbase stated that more tokenized stocks will be listed in the coming weeks, and it will continue to bring other real-world assets on-chain.

DEX spot trading share hits new high of 24%, CEX trading volume continues to decline
Odaily News: The ratio of DEX to CEX spot trading volume rose to 24% at the end of July, hitting an all-time high, up from 17% a year earlier. This metric tracks spot trading volume, excluding futures and derivatives, and mainly covers trading on decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap and Aerodrome.An important reason behind this rising ratio is the notable weakening of spot trading volume on centralized exchanges. As spot trading activity declines, centralized platforms such as Coinbase and Gemini are under pressure, with some companies already conducting layoffs, while traders are gradually shifting toward on-chain trading alternatives.Data shows that total spot exchange trading volume is approaching a 12-month low, at approximately $670 billion, significantly below this year's peak of $2.23 trillion.The Block analysis suggests that the decline in spot trading volume is partly due to diversion caused by prediction markets, while also reflecting a broader decline in overall crypto trading interest. In other words, the record-high DEX share does not necessarily indicate absolute prosperity in on-chain trading, but rather reflects a structural shift against the backdrop of shrinking CEX spot trading volume.
