Odaily News: Crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform responding to recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explaining his position-building logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was around $3 million but did not buy in. After observing for a day, he revisited his research due to the platform's rapid data growth and bought in from around a $7 million market cap all the way up to a $20 million market cap.Bonk Guy said that EMBER is a major Launchpad built on Meteora, supporting SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as pairing assets for token issuance. It utilizes Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology and offers features such as token fee distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember has recorded approximately $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, and has cumulatively issued 2,041 tokens within 3 days of launch, with over 41,800 unique holder addresses and 149,000 Solana transactions. BonkGuy compared his Ember purchase to his previous PONS trade, noting that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below $1 million, similarly ignored it for a full day, and then started buying at around a $4 million market cap. Rather than whether a trending token has already emerged, what matters more is observing the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, while Solana's Meme trading ecosystem has been developing for a longer time, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also stated that his trades are not based on market consensus. Some of his most successful trades in the past often came from discovering opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone agrees, the asymmetric upside potential has usually already been significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy said that the claim of "EMBER having over 50% Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his earlier statement that Ember was "launched by Meteora" was also inaccurate—a more precise description is that Ember is built on Meteora-related infrastructure and has now been listed on Meteora's ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.
following the release of today's US CPI data, the whale "Setting 10 Big Targets First" posted on X platform stating that Bitcoin has not fallen below $74,000, and the bullish trend remains unchanged."Setting 10 Big Targets First" previously stated: "Next, I'll look for opportunities to re-enter long positions. This trend has come more fiercely than I originally imagined, so the imagination for what's ahead can be bolder too. Getting on board at $80,000 or even above $80,000, I think it's still not too late—there's still room. $100,000 will most likely arrive sooner than I originally expected. Once we hit $100,000, we can reassess just how far this trend can go."
Odaily News: DeFi researcher Ignas stated on the X platform that when it comes to finding Meme coins in the AI era, the way of trading does not seem to have fundamentally changed. Taking Grok as an example, when asked to recommend Meme coins worth buying, it typically only provides token tickers based on historical data such as views, trading volume, and post counts on the X platform.Ignas believes that true Meme coin trading still requires human judgment as to whether a project has the potential to "break out" and gain mainstream attention, including market sentiment, community atmosphere, narrative appeal, and whether KOLs suddenly start shilling the coin. Compared to asking AI once a day what to buy, staying online 24/7 and capturing shifts in market sentiment still holds an advantage.However, Ignas pointed out that AI is completely reshaping liquidity provision (LP) strategies. He stated that his AI agents can automatically screen liquidity pools and analyze factors such as trading volume, fees, fee trends, liquidity depth, and appropriate price ranges. The relevant strategies are still being refined, but a methodology has already taken shape that can be continuously optimized and generate compounding effects.Ignas believes that if Meme coin trading and being "online 24/7" are not a good fit for you, then leveraging AI to learn and execute LP strategies might be a skill that is easier to master.
Odaily News Trader BonkGuy (Unipcs) shared his recent trading performance and strategy in a post on X, noting that his portfolio value once reached $20 million. Among his positions, PONS surged 11,108% from his average entry price, yielding a floating profit of approximately $7.5 million. Additionally, he recorded gains of 1,111%, 894%, 405%, 356%, and 108% on MICRODUCK, DELTA, MARSCOIN, USELESS, and BASECAT, respectively.BonkGuy summarized his trading strategy into five key points: First, anticipate shifts in market narratives and attention early, identifying the biggest beneficiaries likely to absorb capital and interest in the next phase, rather than chasing assets that have already rallied. Second, diversify trading logic rather than conviction—based on the same trend thesis, seek out the most likely beneficiaries across different ecosystems. Third, build a high-quality on-chain trading information network, continuously sourcing information, exchanging views, and validating trading logic through trading groups, X, friends, and other traders. Fourth, accept the time and energy costs associated with opportunities, as he believes the window of opportunity during the current bull market's high-explosive phase is limited. Fifth, reduce personal emotions and biases in trading, avoiding the active exclusion of potential opportunities due to personal opinions about a particular chain, platform, founder, or ecosystem. He concluded, "The market doesn't care what you believe; it rewards correct judgment."
Odaily News Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that correlated trading pairs are emerging. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by volume are "bridge" pairs connecting other common base pairs, which then primarily link to highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7.Uniswap founder Hayden said on X:.I've been working at the frontier of DeFi for 9 years. It's a fascinating field with infinite depth and the potential to transform capital markets.I've always believed AMMs hold immense potential, but for the past decade, one question has persisted: Can this novel market structure truly become the core engine for all financial markets?After years of evolution and development, the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. To explain this, we need to start in 1976.Tokenization Changes Market Makers.Index funds celebrated their 50th anniversary this month. When Jack Bogle launched the index fund in 1976, he hoped to raise $150 million but ultimately raised only $11.3 million. Competitors called it "Bogle's Folly," posting posters claiming index funds were un-American. They argued that a fund making no decisions couldn't possibly beat professionals paid to make decisions. Today, the majority of US fund assets are allocated to passive investment vehicles.I've been thinking about this recently because tokenization's "folly moment" is ending. The SEC has approved NASDAQ and the NYSE to trade tokenized stocks. DTCC, which handles virtually all US securities settlement, also conducted a live pilot of tokenized trades in July. Nearly all related activity is described the same way: treating tokenization as an infrastructure upgrade.The same markets, faster, cheaper, and always open. These statements are all true, but I believe the infrastructure upgrade framework obscures a larger change. Tokenization makes markets programmable, changing how markets exist, who makes markets, and what is traded.In 2018, I created Uniswap, an automated market maker protocol. Anyone can deposit two assets into a shared liquidity pool and earn fees from every trade, while prices adjust along a curve as users buy and sell. Uniswap has operated autonomously since its launch, processing over $4.6 trillion in cumulative volume and increasing DEX spot volume share from under 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern most financial markets haven't noticed yet: correlated trading pairs.The Easiest Place to Find Success.To succeed everywhere, you must first succeed somewhere. AMMs found product-market fit in long-tail markets because most assets previously couldn't attract professional market makers' attention. On Uniswap, anyone can create a market with a single transaction, and issuers and early supporters can become the first liquidity providers.Then came stablecoin pairs. Take USDC/USDT, for example. A good passive strategy can approach optimal l
Odaily Odaily News Trader Bonkguy (unipcs) posted on platform X, stating that for those who missed the recent moves on Robinhood and BNB Chain, these movements may only be a warm-up. This typically occurs in the early stages of a new bull market cycle, or right before the market is about to accelerate. The real trend may begin in the fourth quarter, and when compared to it, the recent movements may only appear as minor fluctuations.Many people missed recent opportunities because they are still affected by their bear market experiences. The defensive habits that protected investors during the bear market may hinder their ability to profit during a bull market. The key lies in recognizing changes in the market environment and adjusting one's mental framework accordingly. Pullbacks will certainly occur as the market develops, but in a genuine bull market, pullbacks are often opportunities to accumulate positions in high-conviction assets. Market volatility may intensify further, and future conditions may exceed what most people expect. Ultimately, those who profit the most may not be the ones trying to predict every single move in the coming days, but rather those who identify the market's direction, position themselves early, and give their judgment enough time to play out.
According to BeInCrypto, a field research report recently released by the Bank of Italy shows that stablecoins do not possess a systemic cost advantage in cross-border remittances. Researchers tested USDC transfers of $200 through 10 actual remittance corridors, covering routes between Italy and Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, the UAE, and Japan, with total fees ranging from 0.3% to nearly 9%, showing a significant disparity. The study found that on-chain transfers themselves accounted for an average of only 0.4% of the total cost; what truly drove up fees were steps still reliant on banks and exchanges, such as funding, currency conversion, and withdrawal. Taking the UAE-to-Italy corridor as an example, where bank transfers were unavailable and credit card funding was forced, fees alone reached as high as 3.8%. Meanwhile, transfer speeds also differed significantly due to variations in destination payment infrastructure. Instant payment systems like Brazil's Pix could complete settlement within 20 minutes, while South Africa required 1 to 2 business days, no different from traditional bank wire transfers. The report pointed out that stablecoins currently still heavily rely on the banking system they attempt to replace, and the narrative that "stablecoins are quietly replacing traditional payment rails" remains unsubstantiated.
Odaily News - On-chain analyst Ember posted on X platform stating that USDG's market cap has grown from $300 million to $3.5 billion within a year, with $1.95 billion of that held on OKX's X Layer chain. USDG is not a stablecoin widely known to the general public, with relatively limited promotion and exposure. X Layer primarily supports USDG through real use cases such as stablecoin yield generation, Boost, and payments, making it the sixth-largest stablecoin by scale. USDG's growth over the past year has been consistent and steady, not artificially inflated in the short term through large-scale subsidies. Ember noted that this reflects the high user base and activity levels of OKX Wallet. Even amid the current subdued market conditions, X Layer has achieved through its relevant modules what other stablecoins could only accomplish with substantial capital investment.
Odaily News Renowned trader Ansem posted on X, stating that buybacks (for token prices) actually don’t have much effect.Ansem further noted that Hyperliquid's annualized revenue is $800 million, while Pump.fun's annualized revenue is $440 million; however, HYPE's FDV is as high as $65 billion, whereas PUMP's FDV is only $1.4 billion. Both teams regularly use a portion of their business profits for buybacks, yet their P/S ratios are vastly different.This disparity doesn't stem from how much revenue the businesses actually generate, but rather reflects the market's "trust premium" for the teams — a trust determined by their actions and decisions in the market. Hyperliquid never over-promises, focuses purely on product delivery, and generously rewards core users who contribute the most to the platform based on established metrics. In contrast, Pump.fun generated $1 billion in revenue, raised another $1 billion in an ICO, and promised users an airdrop, but has yet to deliver. Despite being one of the most successful and profitable businesses in the crypto industry, they lack a social consensus bond with their core user base and thus cannot achieve the trust premium that Hyperliquid enjoys.Therefore, what determines a business's valuation includes not only the "tangible value" derived purely from revenue and other metrics but also "intangible value." Trust, memetics, and attention are all crucial in the market, yet they are currently discussed far too little.
Bitcoin broke through the $64,000 resistance level on Tuesday, reaching a daily high of $65,511 before settling at $64,858, down 0.18% on the day. Chart data indicates that the descending trend channel Bitcoin has been in since approaching $82,000 in May has not yet fully lost its effect. Technical indicators show that Bitcoin's 50-day moving average is below its 200-day moving average, forming what traders call a "death cross." The ADX stands at 23.4, indicating a weakening bearish trend; the RSI is at 55.7, placing it in a neutral to slightly bullish range. Traders on the prediction market Myriad assign a 66.6% probability that Bitcoin will first drop to $55,000, with a 33.4% probability that it will first rise to $84,000. These probabilities have not shifted significantly with recent price fluctuations.
Bloomberg ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas posted on platform X, stating that relevant parties have just submitted approximately 20 ETF applications, including multiple international ETFs and emerging market factor ETFs. Currently, about 350 ETFs have been filed for application, 180 ETFs are listed, bringing the total to over 500—what could be described as "Shock and Awe."
Odaily Odaily News: On-chain analyst Ai Yi posted on platform X, stating that according to Doinb's revelation, LoL S4 World Champion Imp suddenly stopped streaming in March 2026 because he made profits from stock trading and no longer needed to stream. Imp previously mentioned during a livestream that "the money earned from streaming in a month is less than what I earn from stock trading in a day," and that "between March and October 2025, his assets increased tenfold, heavily investing in SK Hynix and buying NVIDIA."Additionally, the timing of Imp's streaming hiatus closely coincides with the rise of South Korean semiconductor stocks. However, Imp himself has not responded to the rumors of achieving financial freedom. Meanwhile, MLXG, who is also known for using his salary to trade stocks, heavily invested in baijiu (Chinese liquor) stocks, and his assets have nearly gone to zero.
Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis has released a new methodological proposal aimed at establishing a unified on-chain fund tracking standard framework for law enforcement agencies and investigators to identify address clusters and determine their probable control relationships.The proposal defines the on-chain analysis structure in the form of an "ontology," centralizing the systematic decomposition of the currently industry-wide non-standardized concept of "cluster" (address clustering) into wallet segments and functional roles. It describes on-chain relationships through a two-tier structure: the first layer defines the transaction graph structure, and the second layer assesses the inferred confidence level.Chainalysis states that the framework aims to enhance the interpretability and legal applicability of on-chain forensic methods and has been validated through its practical experience in cases related to the U.S. Department of Justice, including analysis applied in the Bitcoin Fog mixing service case. The company's Chief Scientist, Jacob Illum, noted that the proposal's goal is to answer "on what evidentiary basis can these addresses be considered to belong to the same entity," but emphasized that on-chain analysis alone cannot directly identify end-user identities and must still be combined with legal investigative methods involving centralized entities such as exchanges.Chainalysis stated that the standard proposal is currently open for industry discussion, aiming to promote a more unified technical standard for on-chain analysis methods in the fields of law enforcement and compliance.

Odaily, "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X, reviewing his past experiences where his investment views faced skepticism. He stated that many original investment ideas initially face strong opposition, but ultimately the market becomes the standard for judging right and wrong. He has faced significant criticism for being bullish on several companies, for example:$AXTI: Early on, it was questioned as a "scam company," and related discussions even led to a ban from Reddit's WSB forum. However, it later received coverage from Reuters, and the performance of the Indium Phosphide (InP) substrate industry company, along with institutional investor validation, confirmed its logic.$RPI: Initially labeled a "meme stock" by the market, analysts believed it lacked fundamentals. However, earnings reports showed the company's future revenue growth expectation reached 58%, and it was subsequently re-evaluated as a high-growth AI hardware company.$SIVE: Once considered a "meme stock" by numerous investors, it later gained institutional buying support, including attention from Fidelity Research, JPMorgan Chase, and others, and announced partnerships with companies like Jabil and GlobalFoundries.Serenity stated, "The market will ultimately decide what is right or wrong, not the angry comments or posts on X (formerly Twitter)." He added that as each investment thesis gets validated one by one, the eventual market performance overshadows the early noise. He also listed several other cases that were initially doubted but later gained market recognition, including:$AAOI: Near $30, management was questioned as "untrustworthy";$LITE: At $300, the photonics industry was considered to be in a bubble;$RKLB: At $20, it was dismissed as just a low-revenue launch company;$HOOD: At $20, it faced negative sentiment due to the GameStop trading restriction incident;$IQE: Considered just a small UK company lacking partnerships in the photonics field;$SOI: Analysts at a European bank considered its valuation too high;$NBIS: Questioned for having no competitive moat;$INTC: The market thought it couldn't compete with TSMC;$MRVL: The market feared its ASIC market share would be taken by Broadcom;$AEHR: The market misinterpreted its earnings report, thinking the company lacked revenue;$EWY: The market believed the South Korean semiconductor cycle was in a bubble.
: According to market sources this evening, a recent report by SemiAnalysis stated that "NVIDIA's next-generation AI server cluster, Rubin NVL72, has made significant adjustments to its memory configuration. To address supply chain constraints and ensure timely delivery of the Rubin racks, the memory capacity per rack has been drastically reduced from the original plan of 55TB to 28TB, a cut of approximately 50%. This involves using a scaled-down 96GB SOCAMM memory module instead of the previously planned 192GB high-end module." Following this news, memory-related stocks including Micron and SK Hynix came under pressure and declined.In response, SemiAnalysis founder, CEO, and Chief Analyst Dylan Patel (@dylan522p) stated, "I love it when people share what we say while missing most of the content in the note. Our original report did not use this clickbait-style headline."
Nasdaq-listed company Bit Digital CEO Sam Tabar stated on X that he has purchased more ETH.Sam Tabar explained: "Many people look at ETH's price performance over the past two years and conclude it's finished. But I believe they are looking for the wrong catalyst. The repricing of ETH was never meant to be built on retail narratives. For an asset backed by such a massive infrastructure, that kind of narrative is simply too fragile. The real catalyst is institutional demand. And the pace of institutional demand never follows the sentiment on social media. It only materializes when compliance frameworks are ready, custody systems are established, and the regulatory environment is stable enough for a CFO to give the green light. And that moment is closer than what market prices reflect."He added: "I hold ETH because I have a fiduciary obligation to make smart capital allocation decisions. And at the price I bought in, ETH meets that standard."
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr posted on X, stating that based on the Adjusted Realized Price Bands model calibrated to Bitcoin's current circulating supply, a drop to the key $59,000 range is required for a true mid-to-long term bottoming process to begin. Bottoming is not a short-term process and will not be completed within one to two weeks; the base case scenario estimates it will take approximately six months.Axel Adler Jr emphasized that while Bitcoin has recently seen some increase in price, what truly drives market stabilization is not sentiment recovery or a local rebound, but the return of long-term genuine demand. That is, when the market begins to price in future value again and spot buying continues to recover, the bottom may be truly established.
