Odaily News, according to MLM monitoring, TradeXYZ's fee receiving wallet has recently used perpetual contract (Perps) trading fee revenue to purchase HYPE tokens for the first time. Two days ago, TradeXYZ transferred 250,000 USDC from its perpetual contract fee wallet (used for accumulating Perps trading fees) to its spot wallet, and purchased approximately 2,000 HYPE tokens, worth about $110,000. Subsequently, this portion of HYPE was used to purchase HIP-3 trading pairs.The latest data shows that TradeXYZ has again transferred 500,000 USDC to its spot wallet and has begun continuously purchasing approximately 9,000 HYPE tokens—worth about $500,000—through a TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) strategy. Previously, TradeXYZ's HYPE funds used to purchase new HIP-3 trading pairs mainly came from spot trading fee revenue. However, this is the first time it has used perpetual contract fee revenue for HYPE purchases.
Odaily Odaily News: Wall Street investment firm Bernstein has reaffirmed its "Outperform" rating on stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Financial, maintaining a $140 price target.Bernstein stated that Circle's second-quarter performance effectively addressed previous market concerns regarding intensifying stablecoin competition and the growth potential of reserve asset income. Analysts believe that Circle's expanding partnerships, regulatory licensing progress, and the upcoming Arc blockchain project will bring new revenue streams to the company—growth drivers that are not yet fully reflected in current market expectations.As the stablecoin market continues to expand, Circle is expected to further broaden its business model through payment infrastructure, on-chain financial services, and ecosystem collaborations, with its future growth potential still underestimated by the market.

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.
Odaily News: Morgan Stanley downgraded stablecoin issuer Circle Internet to Underweight and cut its price target from $106 to $38.

Analysts noted that intensifying competition from tokenized cash products and new stablecoin models could pressure Circle Internet's profitability.
Odaily News: According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, multiple institutions have unstaked and sold HYPE, causing the token to drop from $72 to $52 over the past month, a decline of 28%. A whale holds 1.38 million HYPE in long positions, valued at $72.15 million, with a current liquidation price of $47.6, approximately 9% away from HYPE's current price. This position has been held for 8 months without being closed. It saw an unrealized loss of $26 million at the end of January, reached a peak unrealized gain of $47.46 million in June, and currently remains up $18.8 million. The position is nearing the liquidation price because the whale previously withdrew a significant portion of the unrealized profit as margin.

According to TechFlow Research, Bank of America's Global Memory Weekly Report on July 24 pointed out that PC DRAM contract prices in July rose 15%-20% month-over-month, with Q3 month-over-month increases reaching 30%-40%, far exceeding TrendForce's forecast of 13%-18%, and spot prices strengthened simultaneously. South Korea's semiconductor exports in the first 20 days of July totaled $22.1 billion, up 181% year-over-year; China's memory imports in June reached $32 billion, hitting a record high, up approximately 250% year-over-year, while the impact of CXMT's capacity expansion remains limited. Bank of America analysts expect Google's capital expenditures in 2026/2027 to reach $200 billion/$300 billion respectively, a significant increase from $91 billion in 2025, implying that memory chip procurement in 2027 needs to be more than 50% higher than in 2026. Google's annual cash and equivalents from 2026-2028 will exceed $50 billion, which is a positive signal for memory chip capacity expansion. Samsung Electronics is expected to announce large-scale buybacks, early dividend payments, and more optimistic second-half/2027 guidance at its July 30 earnings conference call; Bank of America maintains a buy rating on Samsung.

Morgan Stanley analysts stated that if SpaceX's stock price falls to $100 per share, it implies the market's valuation of its AI business has dropped to zero.

Analysts assigned a target price of $300 per share to the stock, with more than half derived from the AI business valuation.

According to the Financial Times, investors are increasingly betting on a decline in SpaceX's stock price, with the stock price falling below the offering price for the first time just weeks after its listing. The report states that SpaceX's initial valuation incorporated high expectations for future growth, such as Starlink satellite internet expansion, commercialization of space business, and AI-related potential. Although previously favored by the market due to its rocket business, satellite internet, and artificial intelligence positioning, attracting significant capital attention during the early listing period, the retreat in stock price has led some traders to begin betting on further declines through short selling or other bearish strategies. Currently, SpaceX has not yet responded to this market trading situation.

ARK Invest's "The Bitcoin Quarterly" report for Q2 2026 indicates Bitcoin fell approximately 14% in the second quarter, closing around $58,544, and broke below three major technical moving averages. Historically, this technical pattern is often associated with bearish market conditions. The report shows that despite price pressure, Bitcoin Long-term Holders continued to accumulate, pushing their holdings to a new all-time high of approximately 14.85 million BTC, absorbing coins released during the market correction.ARK Invest stated that on-chain data is signaling signs of seller exhaustion: the supply of BTC in loss exceeds the supply in profit, and the rate of realized losses once surpassed the rate of realized profits. Historically, similar phenomena have often clustered near the bottom of market cycles.The report also pointed out that institutional demand in the Bitcoin market is facing pressure. Both corporate Bitcoin reserves (Treasury Companies) and the ETF ecosystem have shown signs of weakness:The STRC preferred stock price once fell to approximately $74.57, below its $100 par value;U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows for 7 consecutive weeks, with cumulative outflows totaling approximately 70,000 BTC.ARK Invest believes that ETF outflows indicate a weakening of important marginal buying pressure for Bitcoin, but continued accumulation by long-term holders suggests a redistribution of coins is occurring within the market.The firm stated that a clear divergence is currently forming between BTC's price performance and the behavior of long-term holders. Historical data shows that such divergences can often serve as important observation signals for market cycle turning points.
