VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsEthereum and its ecosystem are set to remain in the spotlight in 2025, driven by accelerating institutional adoption and network upgrades. As the world's leading smart contract platform, ETH has benefited from billions of dollars in ETF inflows, fueling a steady price climb. Potential upside catalysts include the Pectra upgrade to enhance performance, large-scale tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), explosive growth in Layer 2 solutions such as Base, and the reduction in circulating supply of the burn mechanism. Ecosystem tokens like Lido (the leader in liquid staking) and Ethena (an innovator in synthetic stablecoins) are also poised to benefit. Institutional participation from major players like BlackRock further boosts demand for DeFi and staking products. As a result, the overall market cap of the ecosystem is expected to continue growing, attracting increasing amounts of mainstream capital.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe cryptocurrency market has recently seen increased volatility, driven by macroeconomic policies, global trade tensions, and expectations the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Although some indicators came in weak, investor sentiment improved as market expectations for a September rate cut rose sharply. Meanwhile, the slowdown in tariff adjustments has helped ease major trade frictions in the short term, with no signs of systemic risk emerging for the time being. On the crypto side, BTC turnover has fallen as many short-term traders exit the market, leading to more stable price movements. The altcoin sector continues to underperform due to a lack of sustained narratives. Despite the surge in memecoins, high-quality projects remain scarce. Large volumes of capital are cycling in and out quickly, making it difficult to invest effectively. With short-term uncertainty still high, many investors are allocating part of their portfolios to stablecoin-based Earn products. Alongside leading DeFi protocols such as Aave and Compound, platforms like Bitget offer diversified, high-yield stablecoin opportunities, providing investors with more avenues to preserve and grow their assets.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsAs the backbone of the Ethereum ecosystem, the ETH infrastructure plays a vital role in ensuring the stability and security of core applications such as Layer 2 scaling, DeFi, and AI on-chain integration. With ETH staking APR stabilizing at around 3.5%, growing momentum in the modular narrative, and rising demand for AI-related computing power, infrastructure has become a strategic focus for medium- to long-term market positioning.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsStablecoins have recently emerged as a key focus for central banks and financial institutions, with the potential to reshape global payment systems and financial infrastructure. According to data from Chainalysis, stablecoins have surged to a monthly trading volume of trillions of dollars, accounting for 60% to 80% of total cryptocurrency trading volume. This explosive growth has attracted significant attention from traditional financial players, who are accelerating their integration into the digital economy by issuing stablecoins, contributing to blockchain network development, and offering related financial services. In the U.S., financial giants such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are exploring the potential of jointly issuing stablecoins. At the same time, regulatory discussions surrounding stablecoins and the proposed GENIUS Act are gaining significant momentum in mainstream media. In the Web2 world, traditional companies like Stripe have entered the space by acquiring Bridge to build out stablecoin payment capabilities. Meanwhile, Circle has emerged as one of the most influential crypto firms in the U.S. stock market, second only to Coinbase, driven by the success of its USDC stablecoin. In the DeFi space, Yield-Bearing Stablecoins (YBS) are drawing substantial capital inflows with their innovative interest-generating mechanisms.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsAs markets begin pricing in expectations of rate cuts, on-chain trading volume continues to grow. Pump.fun is preparing to launch its token, while Letsbonk.fun is gaining momentum. For the first time last week, its number of daily token launches and "graduated" projects surpassed Pump.fun, ending Pump.fun's dominance in the memecoin launchpad space since early 2024. The wealth effect generated by Letsbonk.fun's ecosystem has also been significant. Meanwhile, the growing maturity of hybrid "spot + on-chain" products on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) is helping build strong momentum for on-chain market activity. Since the memecoin craze driven by celebrities and political figures earlier this year, market liquidity has gradually recovered from near-dry conditions. The upcoming token launch on Pump.fun may spark renewed ecosystem-level competition among launchpad platforms, generating sustained speculative momentum that continues to benefit the broader Solana ecosystem.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsReal World Assets (RWAs) bring real-world financial instruments such as bonds, real estate, and credit onto the blockchain, enabling tokenization, programmability, and global accessibility of traditional financial assets. With U.S. interest rates peaking, monetary policy turning dovish, and ETFs paving the way for institutional capital to enter the crypto space, RWAs have emerged as a leading theme capturing growing institutional attention.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe Base chain has recently seen several major strategic developments: Coinbase has integrated DEX routing for Base on its main app, bridging the gap between CeFi and DeFi liquidity; Shopify has partnered with Base to expand real-world applications and user access points. At the same time, Circle and Coinbase stocks have surged by over 700% and 50% respectively, creating a wealth effect that may spill over into the Base ecosystem—boosting both its TVL and token prices. Recommended projects include: 1) AERO (Aerodrome)—The leading DEX on Base, showing strength despite market downturns; well-positioned to benefit from Coinbase integration. 2) BRETT—A flagship memecoin on Base with over 840,000 holders; likely to lead the next Base memecoin rally. 3) New tokens on Bitget Onchain—Offer early access to emerging Base memecoins while helping users avoid high-risk tokens.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsRecent bullish news surrounding a potential Solana ETF has reignited market optimism. The SEC has asked issuers to update their S-1 filings, signaling that ETF approval could be near. This development has boosted confidence in the Solana ecosystem. As a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain, Solana (SOL) offers fast transactions and low fees, making it a hub for DeFi and NFT activity, while also drawing increasing institutional interest. Jito (JTO), the leading liquid staking protocol on Solana, saw its token surge 17% after JitoSOL was included in a Solana ETF prospectus. Its MEV optimization further enhances network value. Jupiter (JUP), Solana's top DEX aggregator with a 95% market share, recently launched a lending protocol, highlighting strong growth potential. These tokens offer investors early exposure ahead of a possible ETF approval and a chance to benefit from Solana's expanding ecosystem.
- 22:43MegaETH launches stablecoin USDm to subsidize sequencer feesBlockBeats News, September 9, according to The Block, MegaETH, an Ethereum scaling solution developed by MegaLabs, is launching a stablecoin called USDm on its chain. The USDm model is built in collaboration with the decentralized finance protocol Ethena, aiming to achieve synergy between the chain and ecosystem incentives by operating the sequencer at cost price and keeping transaction fees low and stable for users and builders. MegaETH pointed out that currently, several Layer2 networks profit by charging additional sequencer fee spreads. This model may cause conflicts with users and developers, especially as EIP-4844 reduces data costs, making fee spreads even more unpredictable. USDm attempts to address this issue by directing stablecoin reserve yields to cover shared network costs. Once the project mainnet is launched, reserve income will be programmatically used to directly cover sequencer operating expenses, rather than serving as on-chain profit. The first version of USDm will be issued through Ethena’s USDtb channel. According to the team, this structure provides institutional-level endorsement and transparent accounting—USDtb reserves are mainly held by Securitize in BlackRock’s tokenized US Treasury fund (BUIDL), supplemented by liquid stablecoins to handle redemptions. A MegaETH representative stated that USDm will initially operate by exchanging USDtb rather than direct fiat redemption. The team did not disclose the target fund size required to cover daily operations, stating that these parameters will be determined gradually over time.
