VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsOver the past few weeks, BTC has repeatedly tested the $100,000 resistance level, briefly breaking through multiple times before failing to hold, resulting in sharp declines Altcoins have entered a technical bear market, though SOL has shown resilience during both downturns and rebounds. However, the trading frenzy surrounding Solana-based memecoins has cooled, while discussions of institutional unlocking have gained traction on social media. On the night of March 2, Trump announced plans to establish a strategic crypto reserve, explicitly mentioning BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. This statement briefly reignited market sentiment amid oversold conditions, triggering a sharp crypto rebound. However, macroeconomic conditions remain largely unchanged, and liquidity recovery is a gradual process.

VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe recent decline in the crypto industry stems from several key factors. First, volatility in the macroeconomic environment—such as the sharp drop in US stocks and global market uncertainty—has weighed heavily on high-risk assets like Bitcoin. Second, an increase in hacker attacks, including a $1.5 billion cryptocurrency theft on February 22, triggered panic and led to over 170,000 liquidations.

This edition highlights several USDT-based, SOL-based, and BTC-based Earn products, offering investors a diverse range of investment options.

Recently, several U.S. financial giants have applied to launch spot ETFs for assets such as XRP and LTC.
