According to a post by CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu, since early July, BTC’s price has climbed from approximately $60,000 to $78,000, marking an increase of roughly 30%. Over the same period, overall market funding grew from $20.6 billion to $24.9 billion, nearing a high for this phase. He noted that, contrary to the price appreciation, the share of borrowed funds did not rise correspondingly. This indicator peaked on August 14 and has trended downward since, with the leverage ratio failing to recover significantly despite BTC accelerating its gains after August 19. He views the current capital structure as healthier than rallies driven by borrowed capital; however, should BTC prices stagnate while the borrowing ratio climbs again, it could emerge as a risk signal requiring close monitoring.

Odaily News, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that as BTC rose from approximately $63,000 to $77,000 over the past 8 days, the proportion of BTC short-term holders (STH) in profit has climbed from 26.1% on August 17 to 74.9%, indicating that the majority of short-term holders have returned to a profitable state.Meanwhile, the net profit/loss indicator for short-term holders flowing to exchanges has turned positive, reaching +28,600 BTC as of August 24, surpassing the +25,000 BTC level. Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that if this indicator continues to stay above +25,000 BTC while BTC's upward momentum begins to slow, the risk of concentrated selling by short-term holders will further increase. Conversely, if the indicator falls back to near zero while BTC's price remains stable, it would suggest that potential selling pressure is easing.
According to Odaily, the ETH/BTC ratio has recently formed a "golden cross," where the 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day moving average. Since early June, ETH has consistently outperformed BTC, with the ETH/BTC ratio rising approximately 25% from its June 6 low.Historical data shows that the performance of ETH/BTC following a golden cross has been inconsistent. After the golden cross on July 25, 2025, the ratio rose about 36% over the following four weeks, but subsequently turned downward; following the February 2021 golden cross, it once surged approximately 93%. However, the two golden crosses in May and August 2022 both failed to sustain upward momentum. CoinDesk noted that the golden cross is a lagging indicator based on historical prices and does not necessarily imply that ETH will continue to outperform BTC going forward. (CoinDesk)

According to Sina Finance, demand for Anthropic's flagship high-priced AI model, Fable5, has stalled. Data analysis by Lamp on the AI spending of 70,000 enterprises shows that over two months since its release, corporate expenditure on this model accounts for only 11% of Anthropic's total model spending. The Financial Times points out that this disruptive shift breaks the industry convention of enterprise users previously prioritizing the most powerful models. Analysts and investors cite the core reasons as Fable5's steep pricing, along with the fact that existing models are already sufficient for most enterprise business needs. If this trend continues, the business model of AI companies investing billions in R&D to train large-parameter, highly complex models may face a fundamental transformation. Miles Clements, a partner at venture capital firm Accel—which invested $1 billion in Anthropic—stated that the vast majority of users do not require cutting-edge large models, and an era of customers blindly chasing top-tier models is unsustainable. He predicts that while breakthrough advances in AI performance are still needed to achieve high-difficulty objectives like disease treatment, premium large models will increasingly degenerate into mere "showcase pieces" for demonstrating technical capabilities. Lamp data indicates that since Anthropic's smaller-parameter but highly capable Opus5 launched in late July, enterprise expenditure on it has already surpassed that of Fable5. Industry insiders revealed that the ChatGPT 5.6 version launched by OpenAI in July, with prices far below...

Odaily News: Cathie Wood recently posted on X discussing the comparison between CRCL and Visa and Mastercard, stating: "Despite CRCL (Circle) rising 84% since its IPO, this one-year chart fully reflects the short-term inefficiency of public equity markets. Many financial services analysts have built their professional reputations by tracking V (Visa) and MA (Mastercard) over the long term, which is why they cannot understand Circle as a disruptor. Since MA and V went public in 2006 and 2008 respectively, both have risen approximately 150-fold and 33-fold, making those analysts who recommended buying on dips back then extremely profitable. However, today, it is the underlying technology—not the playbook these analysts follow—that is disrupting the traditional world order. CRCL should be a core beneficiary of this transformation."
