1. Market Environment

NVIDIA, the world's leading tech giant, announced yesterday its financial results. The data showed an upward trend but the company's business outlook fell short of market expectations, leading to a 8% drop in NVIDIA's stock price. The crypto market is generally stable, maintaining mild fluctuation after yesterday's decline.

Regarding ETFs, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $105 million yesterday, marking two consecutive days of net outflows. Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $5.9 million, ending nine-day streak of net outflows. The ETH/BTC exchange rate has dropped to a three-year low, a point widely considered suitable for bottom buying in ETH. It is possible that ETH will rebound faster than BTC.

Regarding cryptocurrency ecosystems, DOGS, a leading project in the Telegram ecosystem, has achieved impressive performance since its launch, recording a 24-hour increase of 21.5% and a total trading volume of US$2.38 billion. This will have a positive impact on upcoming token launches of Telegram bot projects and may sustain the wealth creation opportunities in the ecosystem.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – TON's Tap2Earn sector (DOGS and Notcoin)

Primary reasons:

Recently, DOGS which started as a Tap2Earn project in the Ton ecosystem got listed on larger centralized exchanges. Its huge user base and popularity helped the project gain market recognition. Major exchanges did not hesitate to arrange Launchpool promotions and listed futures products for DOGS. Thanks to its user base and popularity, the project's token price has stayed strong since TGE, with an extremely high level of trading activities.

Gainers: DOGS has risen by 21.5% and NOT by 4.4% in the last 24 hours.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

Project popularity: DOGS is reaching beyond typical crypto users thanks to the large user base of the Telegram app, and attracted many to trade crypto. On-chain data explorers show that DOGS has reached 734,000 holders, a figure relatively rare to be seen in the crypto industry. If the number can harness the momentum for organic growth, the token price may increase further.
Telegram-related event: The recent arrest of Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov, in France has directly affected the price of the TON token and various projects in the TON ecosystem. If the charges against Durov are proved invalid and he walks free, TON and other projects in the ecosystem will benefit from it. However, if Durov is found guilty of the charges, the ecosystem token will be at risk.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next – Ethereum and ETH Ecosystem Blue-Chip Projects (ETH, ENS, AAVE)

Primary reasons:

The ETH/BTC exchange rate has just hit a 3-year low, a low point widely acknowledged by the market. Looking at the inflow to Ethereum ETFs, the sell-off of Ethereum ETFs in the mainstream markets appears to have stopped and more positions are opened. Meanwhile, the open positions of the Bitfinex ETH/BTC pair indicate that the market expects a greater rebound in ETH than that in BTC.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

Continuous inflow: Ethereum ETFs just saw an end to the nine-day streak of net outflows. If the net inflows persist, which indicates higher expectation on Ethereum from market, ETH price will bounce back further.
Ethereum ecosystem blue chip projects: If Ethereum's price rebounds, ecosystem funds will likely target projects with strong fundamentals, such as AAVE and ENS, for speculative investment. Investors should keep a close watch on these projects.
