80% of blockchains are basically empty shells.

Research shows an interesting statistic: 4 out of 5 blockchain startups raise between $50M and $100M by promising airdrops, but then eventually collapse.

The real activity inside these networks is minimal.

Many of them generate only around $10-$100 in daily revenue.

And that raises a serious question: does it even make sense to invest huge amounts of money into projects that have almost no real
usage?

In this market, hype can still raise capital.

But without users, revenue, and real demand, most chains eventually turn into ghost towns.

This is what the top 10 most expensive airdrops would look like if you never sold.

The most valuable one by current valuation is Hyperliquid, sitting at almost $20B.

That is around 10x from its TGE.

But the interesting part is that almost every other project on the list is now worth less than it was at launch.

Also worth noting: 6 out of the top 10 projects are DEXs or perp-DEXs.

So the pattern is pretty clear - real trading volume and revenue still matter more than just airdrop hype.

$ETH is facing strong resistance right now.

The bounce looks nice, but do not forget the bigger picture.

We are still in a bear market, and moves like this can easily turn into another rejection if buyers fail to break through key levels.

So for now, I would not rush into euphoria.

$BTC is copying the 2018 cycle.

The chart structure looks very similar to the previous bear market cycle, but with lower volatility.

Slow decline, capitulation, and then the expected recovery before a new bullish cycle begins.

Reminder: we still expect the end of the bear market somewhere around October 5-15.

So the risk of another sharp move down is still very high.

The arbitrage setup is still in progress.
I have already completed several rounds and decided to share my current results.

$BTC bear markets usually follow a painful pattern.

A July top, followed by another 15%-30% drop.

That is the scenario I am watching right now.

The market can still bounce, squeeze shorts, and create temporary bullish sentiment, but the bigger structure has not changed yet.

If this bear market continues to follow previous cycles, the real danger may come after the July high.

An a16z-linked whale has reportedly been unloading $HYPE for two days straight.

So far, the wallet has sold around $28.4M worth of tokens.

That is not a small amount, especially for a token that has been one of the strongest performers in the market.

Now the question is whether this is just partial profit-taking - or the start of heavier distribution from large holders.

Old Bitcoin wallets are waking up.

Over the past 365 days, long-dormant wallets have moved 144,470 $BTC after at least 7 years of inactivity.

That is a serious amount of old supply coming back to life.

Some of these moves may simply be wallet rotations or custody updates.

But when coins that have been untouched for years start moving, the market always pays attention.

Robert Kiyosaki says gold and silver are going to the moon.

He supported the forecast of legendary investor Jim Rogers, who believes that gold and silver will continue growing long term, even with deep corrections along the way.

According to Kiyosaki, the recent pullback was exactly that kind of correction:

Gold dropped from $5,405 to $4,006.
Silver fell from $118 to $56.

He said many speculators buy tops and sell during drawdowns.

Kiyosaki claims he did the opposite - using the correction to increase his positions in gold and silver.

“The global economy is in serious trouble. I do not trust world leaders or central banks. In my view, they are part of the problem, while government debt and inflation will only keep rising.”

His main point is simple: gold and silver still have strong long-term upside potential.

I am watching the market right now, and the spread is starting to look interesting.

US-Iran escalation is gaining momentum. What comes next?

The weekend was relatively calm for the market.

$BTC even moved a bit higher, reached our $65K resistance zone, and then pulled back today.

As usual, we used that volatility in Alpha, built a strangle setup, and locked in 40%.

Memes were not very active this time either. No strong runners, just a few isolated low caps moving here and there.

Crime setups also slowed down a bit, but we still managed to catch our move on AKE intraday.
At the same time, the Iran narrative is slowly getting worse in the background.

Oil is rising, and most likely the escalation will keep intensifying. Especially now that the World Cup is over, Trump has a bit more room to act.

Still, I do not think we are going straight to break the lows in the near term, even with the geopolitical pressure.
More likely, $BTC continues moving inside the $60K-$65K range, with sharp moves in both directions.

Another point in favor of this: historically, during bear markets, July has usually been allowed to close green.
So for intraday traders and scalpers, there is still enough work to do.

For everything else, we keep watching the market and reacting only to the setups it gives us.

What do you think about these Tron stats? 👀

• Total accounts on the network - 394M+
• Active accounts - 4.6M

Tron remains one of the most used blockchains in crypto.

Most people use it simply for $USDT transfers, mostly out of habit, even though faster and cheaper alternatives have existed for a long time.

And this is exactly why Web3 still has massive upside.

Even among people who already use crypto, most are only using a very small part of what the industry can actually offer.

An old BTC whale just sold the rest of his coins.

Today, one long-term Bitcoin holder sold his final 1,000 $BTC, worth around $65.5M.

In total, he had 5,000 $BTC that he bought 12 years ago at just $332 per coin.

And this is not an isolated case.

We recently wrote that some old holders have been gradually unloading into the current local pump.

This is exactly how coins change hands: old holders take profit, while new buyers absorb the supply.

Looks like the market may still have room for one more move up before bearish pressure returns.

But bulls are running out of time.
If they want to push $BTC higher, they probably need to do it soon.

Otherwise, the current bounce may simply turn into another liquidity trap before the next wave of selling.

$ETH staking ratio just reached a new all-time high.

According to Token Terminal, Ethereum’s staking ratio has climbed to 33.9%.

That means an increasingly large share of ETH supply is now locked in staking.

For the market, this is important because it reduces the amount of liquid $ETH available for trading.

And if demand starts picking up again, lower liquid supply can make price moves much sharper.

$BTC has an important resistance level on the weekly timeframe.

The key level is the 21-week EMA, currently sitting around the $70K zone.

What makes it even more important is that this level lines up with my $69K-$71K resistance zone on the daily chart.

So if $BTC continues moving higher, this area could become the main test for bulls.

A clean breakout would change the structure.

But until that happens, this zone remains a serious resistance area.
