* Market Commentary: BTC remained in a weak consolidation over the past day, facing repeated resistance above 92,000 USDT; ETH pulled back to the MA10 after a strong upswing, signaling a slowdown in short-term momentum. Market sentiment improved marginally as capital rotated into the Ethereum ecosystem, with sectors such as Prediction Markets, GambleFi and ZK posting weekly gains of 18%–35%. NIGHT, BEAT, and LUNA outperformed, recording 40%–60% rebounds driven by new listings, partnership catalysts, and technical bottom-recovery patterns.
* Key Data: Major banks accelerated their deployment of Bitcoin-backed lending services, while institutional BTC holdings surpassed 1.08 million. Tempo’s testnet launch further strengthened the narrative around on-chain payments. Stablecoin market capitalization continued to rise, and ETH gas fees remained at ultra-low levels, lowering on-chain activity costs and supporting ecosystem expansion.
* This Week’s Focus: SpaceX plans to launch the largest IPO in history in 2026, with nearly USD 300 million in BTC holdings drawing market attention. Stripe’s acquisition of Valora further enhances its stablecoin and on-chain payment strategy. On the macro side, interest rate cuts triggered sharp volatility in BTC and ETH, and markets are watching how future easing cycles may spill over into risk assets.
* Next Week to Watch: Over the next seven days, CONX, APT, and ARB will unlock approximately $21.83M, $19.68M, and $19.58M worth of tokens, respectively, which may introduce short-term supply pressure and affect price movements around the unlock window.
