I. Macro & Market Sentiment

(Market Data)

· BTC Price: $78,952 (24h +0.21%)

· Funding Rate: +0.0031%

· Fear & Greed Index: 80 (Extreme Greed)

(Key Event Preview)

· NVIDIA will release its FY2027 Q2 earnings after the U.S. market closes tonight. The market expects revenue of $92.18 billion, up 97% YoY, and adjusted EPS of $2.09, up 99% YoY. The options market is pricing in a post-earnings move of 5.4%, equivalent to approximately $280 billion in market capitalization, marking the calmest expected earnings reaction in the past two years.

· U.S. M2 money supply grew 5.41% YoY to $23.22 trillion in July, the fastest growth rate since mid-2022, potentially delaying the Federal Reserve’s rate-cutting timeline.

II. Trading Signals / Hotspots

(NVIDIA · Earnings-Driven)

· NVIDIA will release its FY2027 Q2 earnings after the U.S. market closes tonight. The company has exceeded analysts’ revenue and adjusted EPS expectations for 13 consecutive quarters. Options-market pricing suggests lower expectations for another major upside surprise, with an implied move of 5.4%, the calmest earnings-related volatility expectation in the past two years.

· Key Catalyst: The earnings report could significantly affect sentiment across the AI sector and technology stocks. Meanwhile, OpenAI unveiled benchmark results for its in-house Jalapeño inference chip at the Hot Chips conference, showing throughput per kilowatt at 1.5 to 1.9 times that of NVIDIA’s GB300 and potentially increasing competitive pressure on NVIDIA.

(BTC · Capital Inflows)

· BTC is trading at $78,952, up 0.21% over the past 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index stands at 80, indicating Extreme Greed. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $314.3 million yesterday, including $284.4 million into BlackRock’s IBIT. Net ETF inflows over the past week reached approximately $1.9 billion, marking the strongest week since October 2025.

· Key Catalyst: Mizuho analysts believe the current rally is not primarily driven by high leverage. Coin-denominated open interest has fallen to a one-month low, indicating a more robust capital structure supported by spot-market and ETF inflows.

(ETH · Capital Inflows)

· Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded combined net inflows of $179.8 million yesterday, including $146.4 million into BlackRock’s ETHA and $25.8 million into Fidelity’s FETH, as traditional capital continued to enter the market through ETF channels.

· Key Catalyst: The Glamsterdam upgrade will adjust Gas pricing for state operations through EIP-8037 and EIP-8038. The upgrade has been designed around performance targets that support an approximately threefold increase in base throughput.

(Crude Oil / Brent · Geopolitical Hedge)

· Russian media, citing sources, reported that the U.S. and Iran had reached a consensus on the terms of a ceasefire agreement, including freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran stated that an understanding had been reached regarding temporary routes through the strait, while WTI crude fell below $80. Only one commodity vessel passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, the lowest number since May 7.

· Key Catalyst: Expectations of a ceasefire are reducing the geopolitical risk premium. Easing concerns over energy supply disruptions have driven a pullback in crude oil prices.

(HYPE · Major Catalyst)

· Hyperliquid’s Aligned Quote Assets v2 mechanism will officially begin accruing revenue today, creating a new income source beyond trading fees. Revenue will be settled every 30 days and used entirely for HYPE buybacks. The market estimates that the mechanism could generate annual revenue of $150 million to $200 million.

· Key Catalyst: Converting stablecoin reserve yields into buyback funds strengthens support for the token’s value and provides a new tokenomics model for other DEX projects.

III. Capital Flows / Anomalies

· RockawayX announced the acquisition of crypto hedge fund Relayer Capital and will rename it RockawayX Liquid Opportunities Fund. The company plans to raise $150 million for the fund. Relayer’s previous liquid-market strategy has generated a net return of approximately 70% year to date, outperforming an equal-weighted portfolio of BTC, ETH, and SOL by 86%.

· Grayscale’s Zcash spot ETF, ZCSH, recorded $14.8 million in trading volume on its first day of U.S. trading. It rose more than 3.5% intraday before closing down 1.54%, becoming the world’s first exchange-traded product to offer spot exposure to Zcash.

IV. Regulation & Major Events

(Regulation / Sanctions / Licensing)

· Coinbase submitted recommendations to the U.S. CFTC and SEC regarding the definition of perpetual-contract products and their compliance framework. It proposed three core measures: establishing a flexible compliance framework, regulating equity perpetual derivatives as security futures, and allowing securities-related event contracts to be listed on regulated trading platforms. The proposal aims to address complex jurisdictional boundaries between regulators and could simplify compliance pathways if adopted.

· On-chain infrastructure provider Zerohash resubmitted its application for a national trust bank charter to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency after its initial application was returned. The OCC is seeking public comments on the new application until September 17. Zerohash’s proposed national trust bank would provide digital asset services including custody, staking, stablecoin management, settlement, and clearing.

· The Japanese government and financial institutions will launch a research group this summer to prepare a blockchain-based payment infrastructure capable of enabling instant settlement for stock and government bond transactions. A development plan could be formulated as early as early 2027, with the system potentially entering operation in the early 2030s.

(Other)

· South Korea’s Shinhan Financial Group signed a strategic business agreement with Visa to validate core functions using Visa’s stablecoin platform and jointly design business models suited to the Korean financial environment. The partnership will cover stablecoin applications, AI-powered payment models, and the expansion of B2B and B2C payment services.
