1. Market Environment

Bitcoin's trend was relatively flat over the weekend, staying within the $67,000 to $69,000 range. However, with the rise of Notcoin, memecoins such as FISH, REDO, and ANON on the Ton chain surged by over 50%. Concurrently, various risk assets began to decline, including U.S. stocks. Although the Nasdaq index is still near its historical high, it fell by about 2% this week, and the SP 500 index dropped by about 1.5%.

U.S. economic data continues to show signs of stagflation, with the April core PCE price index rising by 2.8% year-on-year, matching expectations and maintaining last month's rate. The Chicago PMI for May fell to 35.4, below the expected 41 and April's 37.9, marking drops only seen during the severe global financial crisis of 2008-2009 and the COVID-19 lockdowns in March/April 2020.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – Ton Ecosystem Memecoins (FISH and REDO)

Primary reason: NOT reached a new high after breaking $0.029, then dropped to $0.024112. With a 24-hour trading volume of $4.646 billion, NOT ranks fourth in trading volume, just behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT. Influenced by NOT, all memecoins in the Ton ecosystem rose.

Gainers: FISH increased by 155.13% today, and REDO by 71.68%.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

Future trading activity: Currently, a major shortcoming in the Ton ecosystem is the relatively fewer active traders compared to other chains, which results in significantly lower trading volumes. If trading volumes continue to rise due to NOT's influence, the wealth effect could become more pronounced.
Future support from Pantera for the Ton ecosystem: Dan Morehead, founder of Pantera Capital, mentioned on social media that Pantera recently made its largest investment in the Telegram TON blockchain project, increasing attention to the Ton ecosystem. If project financing and product launches can be implemented promptly, the prosperity of the Ton ecosystem could arrive sooner.

2.2 Sector Movements – GameFi Sector (NYAN and ALICE)

Primary reason: A game publishing and AI platform Ultiverse announced on X that the TGE for ULTI token is imminent, allowing users to claim an airdrop and announcing its upcoming listing on OKX. Ultiverse's token launch triggered a new wave of interest in blockchain gaming.

Gainers: NYAN increased by 61.92% this month, and ALICE by 60.56%.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

Last week saw a total of 22 funding rounds, slightly down from the previous week, with a total amount of approximately $794.48 million and an average funding amount of $28.7036 million. The majority of financing occurred in other sectors, with significant investments in asset management payments, DeFi, and infrastructure. An increase in funding for the Metaverse/GameFi sectors could continue to support the popularity of GameFi.
Guild development and user growth: Over time, some blockchain gaming guilds have developed unique business models, offering services such as leasing blockchain game NFT assets, training in gaming skills, and spreading knowledge about blockchain transactions. The expansion of guild business models and user base contributes to the increased activity in blockchain gaming.

2.3 Sectors to Focus on Next — Bitcoin L2 Chains

Primary reason: As Bitcoin prices stabilize, there is renewed interest in the Inscription and Rune segments. BounceBit has seen a rise of over 50% in the past two weeks, with Bitcoin Layer 2 chains performing well amid sector rotations.

Specific tokens:

CKB: A Bitcoin Layer 2 project based on the RGB++ scaling protocol, CKB has stayed true to its original vision as a Layer 2 solution. It adopts isomorphic binding with Bitcoin and further improves the Bitcoin ecosystem.
BB: BounceBit is a BTC restaking chain. BB has a maximum supply of 2.1 billion, with an initial circulation of 409.5 million, and is a project with investments from Binance Lab. Binance will list BB after the Megadrop is completed.
MERL: A Layer 2 project based on the Bitcoin network. Merlin Chain's on-chain TVL has reached $3.1 billion, the highest TVL among Bitcoin Layer 2 projects.
