VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsOver the past year, the performance of ETH and its ecosystem has been underwhelming, with the ETH/BTC ratio down by 30% year-to-date. However, it's important to note that BTC has faced a monthly-level correction after hitting resistance at $100,000, while Solana's DEX volumes have seen a significant decline. These shifts suggest that capital is starting to flow back into the ETH ecosystem, with whales quietly accumulating assets over the past year. Several promising projects within the ETH ecosystem and on EVM chains are worth highlighting.

This could involve using a portion of their profits for token buybacks or directly distributing profits to token holders. If these proposals are implemented, the valuations of these DeFi projects could experience significant upward adjustments. Early market interest has already emerged, making these projects worth investors' attention.

VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe Solana ecosystem has shown remarkable performance this year. The 24-hour trading volume on Solana's DEXs frequently surpasses that of Ethereum, and the SOL/ETH exchange rate has steadily risen. Coinbase's recent Q3 earnings report revealed that SOL now accounts for 11% of its trading revenue, highlighting users' strong interest in trading SOL. During this market cycle, it can be advantageous to hold SOL positions. Additionally, holding SOL-based LSTs allows you to earn annualized returns that are denominated in SOL. Bitget has partnered with Solayer, Orca, Save, and Kamino to launch BGSOL, and will work to expand BGSOL's applications. With the support from Bitget, BGSOL currently offers the highest APR among SOL-based LSTs.

Overall, the AI agent trend in crypto demonstrates considerable growth potential and technological innovation. However, investors and tech enthusiasts are advised to balance enthusiasm with rational assessment, focusing on genuine progress and practical applications of these projects.

Recently, major platforms and wallets have also begun actively supporting ApeChain. As a leading team from the NFT era, ApeChain shows strong development potential.

Leading DeFi assets have continued to update their products amid six months of market volatility, maintaining their market dominance and leading positions. With the upcoming U.S. presidential election, both candidates are likely to propose favorable policies regarding DeFi and Web3 applications, potentially bolstering the sector. As a result, leading DeFi assets are expected to benefit from an early boost in liquidity recovery and may outperform the broader market in the coming months.
- 04:47Vitalik comments on X's "display account country": Positive short-term impact, but disclosing information without consent is wrongJinse Finance reported that Vitalik stated in an article: Regarding this "displaying the country of account origin" feature, my predictions are as follows: In the short term, it will bring many positive effects. In the medium term, those with sophisticated means will find various ways to disguise themselves as users from other countries. For example, by renting someone else's passport, phone number, IP address, etc. Creating one million accounts with fake geolocations is moderately difficult; but creating a single account with a fake location and quickly accumulating a million followers will be very easy. Six months later, those political bot accounts that actually originate from (any Eurasian country)—with names like "Defend Western Civilization"—will all change their location tags to "United States" or "United Kingdom." (The above is what I think will happen, not what I hope for. What I truly hope for is: (i) We can gain a clearer understanding of how people from different communities view various issues, and that such insights are not easily faked; (ii) The "community" here should not be limited to a few highly explicit and easily verifiable identity credentials such as nationality or university degree, but should be a broader, more emergent group identity that can integrate information from multiple sources. But I believe that building such a system that can withstand adversarial attacks is by no means an easy task.)
- 04:12Federal Reserve officials explicitly advocate for rate cuts, with market expectations for a Fed rate cut soaring above 70%ChainCatcher news, after Federal Reserve officials previously publicly disagreed on interest rate levels, market expectations for a Fed rate cut were generally skeptical. However, after New York Fed President Williams made comments supporting a rate cut, market sentiment shifted dramatically, with investors and economists generally believing that the Fed is highly likely to take rate-cutting action in December. Wells Fargo Chief Economist Tom Porcelli stated that the deteriorating labor market is sufficient justification for the Fed to cut rates. Official data shows that the unemployment rate in September has risen to 4.4%, the highest level in nearly four years. Deutsche Bank Chief US Economist Matthew Luzzetti bluntly said that the job market is still "in a precarious state." Vanguard Senior Economist Josh Hirt revealed that his personal judgment that the Fed will cut rates is primarily based on Williams' public remarks last Friday. Williams, as a close ally of Fed Chair Powell, explicitly advocated for a rate cut and stated that "there is still room for further adjustments to interest rates in the short term." This statement directly ignited the financial markets, with rate cut expectations soaring from nearly 40% a day earlier to over 70%. Josh Hirt pointed out that Williams' stance means that the three most influential Fed officials—Powell, Williams, and Fed Governor Waller—all support a new round of easing, forming a "very weighty camp that is hard to shake." Evercore ISI Global Policy and Central Bank Strategy Head Krishna Guha analyzed that the most direct interpretation of "in the short term" is the next meeting (i.e., the December meeting). He believes that signals sent by the Fed leadership "big three" are almost always approved by the Chair. Although consensus for a rate cut is rising, economists still expect some officials to vote against it at the meeting. Boston Fed President Collins and Dallas Fed President Logan have both expressed hesitation about further rate cuts. Former Cleveland Fed President Mester analyzed that Powell may use the December press conference to deliver a key message: this rate cut is an "insurance cut," and the Fed will then observe the economy's response. It is worth noting that due to the government shutdown, the Fed will not be able to obtain the latest employment and inflation data at this meeting.
