* Market overview: On February 11, the crypto market remained under downward pressure. BTC and ETH traded in a weak consolidation at elevated levels with limited directional momentum, while altcoin risk appetite continued to contract. The Fear & Greed Index fell to 11 (extreme fear), indicating that selling pressure was largely driven by sentiment and passive de-risking. On the macro side, U.S. equities pulled back (S&P 500 -0.84%, Nasdaq -1.43%), reinforcing risk-off pricing, while gold rose 2.20% over 24 hours—suggesting elevated volatility and continued choppiness for risk assets in the near term.
* Hot tokens: Capital concentrated on short-term, high-beta narrative trades. POWER rallied on strong volume amid the “Web3 incentive layer” narrative and ecosystem cooperation expectations, showing event-driven acceleration. PIPPIN rebounded sharply on AI creator IP momentum and sentiment recovery, with price action dominated by consensus and trading activity. SONIC strengthened on the Solana SVM expansion narrative and intensified community exposure; its small float amplified trading elasticity, though sustainability depends on whether attention converts into on-chain participation.
* Alpha insights: Industry signals point to a dual trend of “RWA expansion + platform multi-assetization.” The tokenized Treasury market surpassed $10 billion, reinforcing RWA’s role as a low-risk, on-chain yield-bearing foundational asset for institutional allocation and liquidity management. Gate TradFi’s cumulative trading volume exceeded $33 billion, highlighting continued growth in demand for traditional asset trading on crypto platforms. Meanwhile, Robinhood launched a financial-grade Ethereum Layer 2 (Robinhood Chain) and opened its public testnet, accelerating integrations across issuance, settlement, and compliance for RWA—signaling a strategic move by a major brokerage toward on-chain infrastructure.
