News linked to both this project and an event.
Odaily News Trader 0xSun posted stating that news-driven trading remains one of the more cost-effective strategies in the current crypto market, with its core lying in the directionality and volatility brought by events.Reviewing several recent events, including abnormal ETH transactions, Arc fee adjustments, TAO ecosystem changes, RAVE-related investigations, and the KelpDAO security incident, all triggered significant price fluctuations within a short period. He believes that participating in such opportunities relies on either the speed of information acquisition or the ability to judge the impact of events.Furthermore, he indicated that as the recent altcoin market has gradually cooled down, he has resumed the strategy of going long on BTC while hedging by shorting some altcoin assets. He believes that against the backdrop of relatively weak liquidity and the fading of certain narratives, the overall performance of altcoins may face relatively more pressure.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), 4.82 million LDO tokens—worth approximately $1.81 million—were withdrawn from Binance early this morning and transferred to a multisig wallet managed by the Lido Growth Committee; this wallet is designated for executing buyback operations. Lido approved a proposal three days ago authorizing up to 10,000 stETH to be used for repurchasing LDO. Additionally, the Growth Committee announced the execution parameters for its first buyback—1,000 stETH—two days ago. Furthermore, this multisig wallet also received 4.82 million LDO from market maker Portofino early this morning.
Odaily News Bitcoin rose to around $74,935 during Asian trading hours, gaining 0.7% in the past 24 hours and 5.4% for the week. However, the derivatives market is sending mixed signals. Institutional firm QCP Capital noted that this rally is primarily driven by spot buying, not a broad-based recovery in risk appetite. Currently, Bitcoin perpetual futures funding rates remain negative, and open interest is declining, indicating that shorts are still adding hedges rather than being forced to liquidate.The options market also leans cautious: short-term implied volatility is subdued, with the one-month tenor lower than the three-month, and risk reversal indicators show market demand for downside protection exceeds that for upside bets, suggesting traders are more willing to pay for potential declines than to chase gains. QCP believes this looks more like a "rebound" than a trend reversal.On the macro front, long-term U.S. Treasury yields and gold prices have not confirmed a recovery in risk appetite. Gold remains near its highs, indicating persistent safe-haven demand. Institutions point out that the current market action is more of a "sentiment repair" driven by ceasefire expectations, rather than a resolution of core risks.Furthermore, Ethereum has shown relative strength, with the ETH/BTC ratio recovering to around 0.0315. Coupled with on-chain transaction volume and stablecoin supply reaching all-time highs, this suggests signs of capital rotation into higher-beta assets. However, the market still needs to observe the evolution of subsequent risk events to confirm the sustainability of this rally. (CoinDesk)
Odaily News According to a CryptoQuant report, Bitcoin is facing "short-term selling pressure" after rebounding above $76,000. Data shows that during Tuesday's price increase, the amount of Bitcoin flowing into exchanges surged significantly, with hourly inflows once rising to 11,000 BTC, the highest level since December last year.CryptoQuant pointed out that the increase in the scale and speed of exchange inflows has historically been seen as a key early warning signal for short-term selling pressure, indicating that some holders are transferring assets to exchanges in preparation for selling. Meanwhile, the average single deposit size rose to 2.25 BTC, hitting a new high since July 2024 and approaching levels seen before the market peaked in January this year.In terms of price action, TradingView data shows that Bitcoin on Coinbase once touched $76,052, reaching a new high since early February. However, the report suggests that as the price approaches the realized price of $76,800, this level could become a ceiling for the rebound, as investors near their break-even point may be inclined to sell, thereby limiting further upside.Furthermore, the current profit-taking is still in its early stages, with daily realized profits around $500 million, which is below the $1 billion threshold typically associated with interim tops. If the price rises further into the $76,000 to $76,800 range, the scale of profits could expand, thereby intensifying selling pressure and increasing the probability of a pullback or consolidation.
