As more and more blockchain and crypto projects seek to reduce startup costs through shared security models, EigenLayer's re-staking model may become an important direction for future blockchain network security architecture. In addition, it may also promote the emergence of new economic models and investment opportunities, especially in the fields of DeFi and cross-chain operations. It not only brings innovation and value to the Ethereum network, but also provides power and direction for the entire blockchain ecosystem.

Hawks drive the near-term narrative, although the long-term positioning remains bullish.

Looking back, the Ethereum futures ETF was somewhat hasty in passing. Ethereum is much more complicated than Bitcoin. The reason why Ethereum was rejected will definitely set an example for future crypto assets to apply for spot ETFs. However, in the traditional world, there are also ETF products for commodities with particularly wide application scenarios, such as pork ETF and oil ETF.

In the past week's market, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum fluctuated at a low level after falling at the beginning of the week. The historical volatility and trading volume were both large during the decline from April 13 to 14, and the open interest decreased. The implied volatility of BTC and ETH did not change much. In addition, the funding rate dropped sharply, indicating that the contract trading sentiment was low. The overall market is in an extremely weak stage in terms of market breadth indicators. In terms of events, the Federal Reserve has slowed down the pace of interest rate cuts, and the tense situation in the Middle East war has led to a sharp drop in Bitcoin. Bitcoin will be halved in the next day, and long-term investors can pay close attention to the investment opportunities and risk management of the halving.

Yesterday (17 APR), due to strong auction demand, U.S. Treasury yields collectively retreated slightly from their highs. The 10-year yield returned to below 4.6% at 4.575%, and the 2-year yield, which is sensitive to interest rate policy, was at 4.924%. Risk sentiment was cooled.

Risk sentiment cooled again yesterday as traders remained in loss control mode. A day after Powell poured cold water on the prospect of rate cuts this year, U.S. Treasury prices rebounded, while the S&P 500 fell for four consecutive days, its longest losing streak since January. On the crypto front, there was no news of note, but the Ark ETF saw outflows for the second consecutive day, with $42 million in outflows.

With the upcoming launch of the Puffer Finance mainnet, Puffer’s direction and focus remain firmly on creating a more inclusive, secure and decentralized Ethereum ecosystem.

BTC rebounded from 62,000 to 64,000 in the early morning and then fell again after the option settlement. However, we can also observe that such price trend patterns appear almost every day this week. It is also within everyone’s expectations that some miners choose to cash in their profits in advance before the BTC halving. There were also significant declines before the first three halvings, but the influence of miners has shrunk compared to previous years. The price increase this time is also backed by ETFs, which allows the market to quickly digest the tension created by the recent 17% drop.

The ETF has been outflowing for two consecutive days, and the selling of Grayscale GBTC has not eased. Bitcoin continues to fluctuate around US$62,000. Amid the general decline in the altcoin market, individual sectors and currencies still have wealth-creating effects and popularity.

Cryptocurrencies are also struggling with the overall negative sentiment, with traders facing very real losses and liquidations as BTC/ETH prices are down 10% this week, while other major altcoins are down about 20% during this period.
