Analyst: Bitcoin May Be Bottoming Out in a "Boring Market," ETF Inflows Fail to Push Price Higher
According to Odaily, despite spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of $211.5 million on Tuesday, the price of Bitcoin remained largely flat, hovering around $64,000. Analysts believe this movement resembles the market being compressed into a low-volatility state, rather than signaling an impending sharp decline.On the same day, spot Ethereum ETFs also recorded net inflows of $53.8 million. In the broader macro market, the S&P 500 index closed at a record high of 7,737 points on August 4, the Nasdaq rose 2.6% driven by AI earnings, and Brent crude oil fell below $80 due to easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.Wintermute OTC trader Jasper De Maere stated that ETF buying entering the market but failing to push Bitcoin's price higher is itself a key signal, indicating that marginal buyers in the spot market are not truly one-sided bulls. He believes that for Bitcoin to sustain its recovery narrative, it needs a clear breakout above $65,000 in the short term.Overall, analysts are interpreting the current Bitcoin price action as a form of "boring bottoming": no obvious panic selling, yet lacking strong upward momentum. ETF inflows provide support, but the price remains suppressed below key resistance, suggesting the market is still waiting for a clearer directional catalyst.

Kalshi CEO cites Nasdaq, Uber, and Airbnb to push back against New York's illegal gambling lawsuit
Odaily News – Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour pushed back on Monday in a CNBC interview against New York State's lawsuit targeting the company, arguing that the case is not just about sports-related contracts, but challenges the entire prediction market business model.Mansour stated that if the logic of New York's lawsuit were upheld, "it could be copy-pasted to sue Nasdaq." He said Kalshi operates more like Nasdaq: the platform matches buyers and sellers and charges approximately 1% in transaction fees, rather than acting as a bookmaker directly wagering against users like traditional sports betting company DraftKings.New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Kalshi last week, accusing its event contracts of constituting illegal gambling and seeking at least $36 billion in damages, with the exact amount still pending full accounting.Mansour also compared Kalshi's regulatory and legal challenges to the early regulatory resistance faced by Uber and Airbnb, suggesting that prediction markets, as a new type of platform economy, are prone to misunderstanding or overregulation under existing legal frameworks.

Dan Bin: AI Cycle Still in Early Stages, Bullish on Nvidia, Broadcom, and TSMC Among Tech Companies
Odaily News Oriental Harbor Chairman Dan Bin forwarded a view on Weibo stating that the chip sector underwent significant adjustments in July, with the Nasdaq chip index falling over 20% in the past month, and some highly leveraged investors facing margin call pressure due to the market correction.Dan Bin stated that the long-term potential of AI is still not fully understood by the market. Unlike previous technological revolutions, AI ultimately provides "intelligence," and the potential demand space is enormous. Current market concerns over hefty capital expenditures by tech giants are similar to past investor skepticism about Amazon AWS's massive investments, but the business opportunities brought by AI may far surpass the AWS era. He pointed out that the recent correction in the memory chip sector has exposed cyclical risks in the industry, and short-term technical indicators still need repair, with funds potentially flowing more toward application-layer companies with stronger fundamentals. Currently, he is more bullish on high-quality tech companies such as Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and TSMC (TSM).Additionally, Dan Bin believes that the July earnings season released important signals, with growth at hyperscale cloud service providers still accelerating. Among them, AWS annualized revenue is approximately $169 billion, up 37% year-over-year; Azure annualized revenue is approximately $124 billion, up 43% year-over-year; and Google Cloud annualized revenue is approximately $99 billion, up 82% year-over-year. Looking ahead to August, Dan Bin believes that the tech stock correction may be nearing its end, and funds are expected to flow back into high-quality tech assets. At the same time, the current market has high short positions and low investor sentiment, and extreme pessimism could become a potential driver for subsequent market gains.
