Brent crude oil has just touched $100 per barrel, reaching a new high in about 6 weeks (since late July)
This will be a significant inflation warning
Sustained high oil prices will push up inflation expectations, possibly making the Federal Reserve more inclined to "higher for longer" (maintain higher interest rates for longer), driving up US Treasury yields and the dollar, thereby suppressing risk assets (including BTC)
Rising energy costs will also increase Bitcoin mining costs (especially in regions with high electricity prices), putting pressure on miners' profits
However, multiple past studies show that over the past 10 years, the correlation between BTC and oil returns has been close to zero, mostly statistically independent
Geopolitical oil price shocks mostly amplify volatility rather than directly determine direction
Oil prices returning to $100 is indeed an inflation risk signal. It is more likely to bring short-term volatility and potential downside pressure to cryptocurrencies, but does not necessarily lead to a major drop; the market has repeatedly shown some independence amid oil price shocks
#美伊冲突升级，百元油价与谈判信号并存 $ZEC I'm bullish on this wave, but not for the reason of "negative funding rates squeezing shorts"—we backtested that derivation ourselves, and it doesn't hold.
What really matters is the combination of three numbers: the entire market's funding rate turning negative, the contract trading at a 0.033% discount relative to spot, and the 7-day rate already up +56%, reaching 99.3% of the 30-day range.
Leverage-driven rallies don't last this long. A bullish frenzy would show funding rates spiking positive and contracts at a premium; now it's the opposite: contracts are cheaper than spot, and shorts are the ones paying. The buying pressure is on the spot side, while the contract side is just being dragged along.
Liquidations are even clearer: shorts liquidated 25 million, longs only 50 thousand, a 493x difference. The 7-day open interest is up +65.4% but paired with negative funding rates, indicating that new positions are mostly shorts—adding shorts while being pushed up.
Conclusion: As long as funding rates remain negative and open interest keeps rising, those adding shorts are still fueling this wave.
Bearish trigger: funding rates turn positive and open interest reverses downward, indicating shorts concede and exit, and the driving force disappears.Foresight News reports that Jiang Zhuoer, founder of the LBTC mining pool, stated that BTC is still operating within an upward channel, and a pullback is inevitable. "If $82,300 is the pre-pullback high, then this pullback will be sluggish, with wide fluctuations back and forth, which is very annoying." He is more optimistic that BTC will first reach $83,000 to $84,000 before pulling back to $72,000.It seems that besides GSR and G20, Wintermute is also a market maker for $LAPTOP🛠️
21 hours ago, Wintermute received 2.5 million market-making tokens from Laptop's multisig address, which have now been distributed to multiple exchange deposit addresses. The other two market makers received their tokens a few days ago, possibly from a newly finalized agreement?
Therefore, the actual total amount of market-making tokens should be 23 million, with GSR Markets holding 15.5 million, G20 5 million, and Wintermute 2.5 million, accounting for 2.3% of the total supply.
Wallet address 0x65ED1C81CD2d72f756F492be408Be4E0d97583E0Unusual Movement Snapshot
$IOST surged explosively today, up +37.96% in 24 hours, with a volatility amplitude reaching 58.01 percentage points, shooting up like a rocket from dry ground.
Current price is $0.001222, with a trading volume of $4.56M, volume at least doubled year-over-year, indicating serious capital involvement.
The 24-hour high is $0.001321, the low is $0.000807, creating a 58.0-point operational space between the high and low.
Belonging to other sectors, this round of explosive rise is not an isolated coin rally; at least 3 coins in the same track moved simultaneously, showing clear sector linkage effects.
First layer: capital perspective — short-term funds scramble to accumulate and push prices up; second layer: smart money locks positions using narratives; third layer: retail investors FOMO chasing the rally.
Risk point: after continuous rise, profit-taking has at least a 75 percentage point space, chasing at high levels risks becoming a bag holder.
In plain language: do not chase unusual movements, wait for selling pressure to release and observe the structure; if the structure breaks, don’t stubbornly hold on.
Market data comes from OKX public API and does not constitute any investment advice.
That’s all for the market situation, judge for yourself.$ETH is seeing a major surge in on-chain activity, with nearly $11.94B in reported inflows over 24 hours.
Large wallets and WETH-related addresses are moving significant capital, suggesting whales may be repositioning.
The key question now: Can ETH hold $2,500 and sustain the inflows?
Strong flows are encouraging, but sustained buying matters more than one-day activity. ⚠️Is the crypto circle really going to cool down? Such high-quality assets, who exactly is selling them! It's not that institutions lack money, but after the money is poured in, the price becomes increasingly stagnant.
First, look at $ETH. BitMine bought another 28,086 coins last week at an average price of about $2,451. It now holds nearly 5.93 million ETH, with an unrealized loss of about $5.2 billion. Even more astonishing, 97% of the 5% supply target has been reached, with staking income of about $330 million. Just relying on this to cover losses would take more than a decade.
So the question is, TOM is almost done buying, who will continue to push it up afterward?
$BTC is showing the same pattern. From September 1 to 8, spot ETFs had a cumulative net inflow of about 9,309 bitcoins, with nearly 9,454 on September 3 alone, yet BTC still retreated back to around 78,000.
This is no longer simply a matter of "whether there is buying pressure," but that the selling pressure above is too heavy.
The 80,000–82,000 level has been stuck without breaking through, oil prices are approaching $100, U.S. Treasury yields are rising, inflation and rate hike expectations are resurfacing, and ETF buying is being absorbed by macro factors and high-level chips together.
So I'm not in a hurry to guess bull or bear now.
ETF inflows continue, but prices remain flat without rising, which is actually the signal to be most cautious about. How much good news there is doesn't matter; what matters is whether the market can handle it. #加密财库分化：买币还是回购？

#ZEC跻身前十，机构化进程提速 U.S. crypto stocks mostly fell overnight, with fewer gains; one old mainnet chain itself surged nearly 14% on high volume
Ridiculous, in a market split evenly between gainers and losers, funds have forcefully bought the old mainnet chain $ATOM, which had dropped 95%, pushing its volume to 4.6 times the monthly average and rallying 13.752% in 24 hours. At the peak pullback, I lean bullish; I buy the dip but won’t chase the highs.
First, let’s clarify the overall market—37 up, 36 down, breadth neutral; BTC is hovering below the 7-day moving average, moving less than one point in a day; the ratio of bullish accounts for major coins is still at crowded levels; U.S. crypto concept stocks mostly fell overnight. The leader is indecisive; only independently high-volume stocks are truly selected by real money.
The quality is genuine—spot trading volume nearly 10 million USDT in one day, fees close to zero, contract open interest actually shrank by nearly 4 points, with less than 60% long positions. Leverage hasn’t entered the scene; this isn’t a fireworks rally, it’s driven by spot trading.
Support levels are drawn—enter in batches above 1.799 on pullbacks, stop loss if it breaks below 1.625, add positions if volume recovers above 2.031; fear-greed index at 66, leaning greedy. In this market, buy strictly at support, don’t chase spikes.
Direction locked on buying the dip, don’t hesitate when at position; cut losses and exit if broken. I’ll watch this mainline all day; I’ll alert if there’s movement, follow closely.
$ATOM $BTC$ETH ETH Trading Insights
1. Long-term cycle judgment is more important than short-term cycles
The trend of $ETH is highly correlated with BTC but more volatile. Before trading ETH, first look at BTC's overall direction:
BTC in an uptrend → ETH usually follows with greater gains (beta > 1)
BTC in sideways consolidation → ETH may independently run an ecosystem/upgrade narrative rally
BTC in a downtrend → ETH falls harder, don’t rush to bottom-fish
Practical advice: Confirm the daily trend direction before acting; use 1H/15min charts only to find entry points, not to determine direction.
2. The "special rhythm" of $ETH
ETH has several unique characteristics compared to other coins:
Upgrade cycle driven: Each major upgrade (Merge, Dencun, Pectra, etc.) follows a "buy the rumor, sell the news" pattern. Price starts rising 1-2 months before the upgrade, then often pulls back on or around the launch day.
Gas fees as a sentiment thermometer: Persistently high Gas = active on-chain = mid-bull market signal; extremely low Gas = no activity = possible bottom or stagnation.
Staking rate affects selling pressure: Currently about 30%+ of ETH is staked, which won’t be sold short-term. Rising staking rate = less circulating supply = bullish bias; increasing staking withdrawal queue = potential selling pressure.
ETF capital flow: After spot ETFs pass, institutional fund flows become an important mid-term directional reference. Continuous net inflow = strong bottom support.
3. Usage of key support/resistance levels
ETH’s price action tends to oscillate repeatedly around round numbers and psychological levels.
$2,000, $3,000, $4,000 are not only psychological levels but also concentrated option strike price zones.
Option max pain influences price a few days before expiration.
Perpetual contract funding rate: extreme positive funding = crowded longs, prone to dump; extreme negative funding = crowded shorts, prone to pump.
Practical: Pay attention to price gravitating toward max pain around option expiration dates (last Friday of each month).
4. Position sizing and risk control
Don’t go all-in on ETH: Although ETH is less volatile than small caps, leverage can still wipe you out. Spot position recommended not to exceed 30-50% of total crypto holdings (depending on risk tolerance).
Build/exit positions in batches: ETH rarely has V-shaped reversals; bottoms are usually ground out. Buy and sell in parts; don’t chase "buy at the lowest, sell at the highest."
Set stop losses but not too tight: ETH’s wicks are more frequent than BTC’s; tight stops get triggered easily. For contracts, place stops beyond clear structural levels, not "just a little bit off".
Separate spot and contract views: Spot can endure cycles; contracts require strict stops. Don’t bring spot "faith" into contracts.
5. On-chain signals worth attention
Exchange net outflow/inflow: Continuous net outflow = whales withdrawing and accumulating = bullish; continuous net inflow = possible preparation to dump.
Whale address movements: Large addresses starting with 0x moving, especially transfers into exchanges, are leading signals.
DeFi TVL: ETH ecosystem TVL rising continuously = capital is active = fundamental support

After ETH rebounded quickly from the low spike at 2440.43, it has now returned near 2499, with a high reaching 2523 during this period. Rather than just focusing on the price increase, I pay more attention to structural changes: the selling pressure at the low was quickly absorbed, and the subsequent rebound has been able to challenge above 2500 again, indicating that the support around 2440 is not a one-time event.
However, it cannot yet be defined as a reversal.
The 15-minute Bollinger middle band is near 2501, with key short-term resistance around 2508, and above that is the recently formed high at 2523. If ETH can hold above 2508 and break through 2523, this rally has a chance to upgrade from a "oversold recovery" to a genuine short-term bullish structure.
Conversely, if it continues to repeatedly spike up and fall back near 2500, it means the overhead trapped positions remain heavy. On the downside, watch 2480–2478 first; if broken, the short-term structure will weaken again.
BTC is attempting to break previous highs, and ETH is also retesting 2500, but I am not in a hurry to chase now.
What’s truly worth trading is not "the rebound that has already happened," but whether the market can turn previous resistance into new support.
If 2523 is effectively taken out, I will significantly raise my assessment of this ETH rebound. $ETH Ten months. That's how long Solana traded in the red. And now — $104. Quietly, without fanfare, but the fact remains: the psychological barrier has been crossed. The question now is one — is this a recovery or the beginning of something bigger? Let's start with the money, because money doesn't lie. Whales are currently holding longs worth $178 million against $119 million in shorts. That's a ratio of 1.5 to 1 in favor of the bulls — and these aren't retail traders, these are big players putting serious sums on the line. Top traders are also on the bullish side. However, there is one nuance: fundiMany focus only on price, overlooking the true competitiveness of these three networks. 🟠 $BTC → Store of Value and Monetary Sovereignty The core of Bitcoin is not the pursuit of fastest transaction speeds, but about redefining the concept of wealth storage through scarcity, decentralization, and resistance to censorship. It stands for: value consensus that does not rely on a single institution. 🔵 $ETH → Programmable Economy and Digital Ownership Ethereum's value comes from smart contracts, stablecoins, DeFi, and digital asset settlement.

Crypto Treasury Divergence: Buy Coins or Buy Back?
As more and more listed companies include BTC, ETH, and other crypto assets on their balance sheets, a clear divergence in "crypto treasuries" is emerging: some continue to increase their holdings, while others are starting to consider stock buybacks.
I believe that in the future, the market will no longer just look at "who bought how many coins," but will focus on a company's capital efficiency between buying coins and buybacks.
On one hand, if a company's stock price still has a significant premium relative to its crypto asset holdings and financing channels are smooth, continuing to increase BTC and ETH holdings can indeed strengthen the market's perception of it as a "crypto asset carrier."
On the other hand, if the company's stock price has fallen close to or even below its net asset value, the significance of continuing to finance coin purchases may diminish. Using cash to buy back its own shares might be more cost-effective than chasing coins at a high price.
This implies a new dividing line is emerging:
During coin price rallies, buying coins may be an offensive strategy; during severe stock price discounts, buybacks may be defensive.
Therefore, to assess the value of crypto treasury companies going forward, one should not only look at "how much BTC is held," but also consider three indicators:
1. The ratio of BTC/ETH holdings relative to market capitalization
2. The premium or discount of the company's stock price relative to net assets
3. Whether new capital is used to buy coins or buy back shares, and which brings higher per-share asset growth
A truly mature crypto treasury strategy may not be to "only buy coins" forever, but to dynamically switch based on coin prices, stock valuations, and financing costs.
The market has gradually shifted from "who hoards the most coins" to "who manages capital most effectively."
This may also become an important criterion for the next round of reshuffling among crypto treasury companies. $BTC $BTC Jiang Zhuoer: The bull market channel is still intact, but a pullback is inevitable
Jiang Zhuoer, founder of the Leibite mining pool, shared his view: BTC is still operating within an upward channel, but a pullback will definitely come.
He outlined two scenarios:
If $82,300 becomes the high point before this round of pullback, then this adjustment won't be a sharp crash but a prolonged, wide-ranging oscillation, which is very frustrating.
He personally leans toward another path: the price first surges to the $83,000–$84,000 resistance zone, then starts a pullback targeting around $72,000.
The most grueling part of a bull market is precisely this kind of oscillating pullback.
It's not a trend reversal but a consolidation during the uptrend. However, the exhausting wide fluctuations can easily break traders' mentality; leveraged contracts will repeatedly suffer stop losses, and those chasing highs and selling lows will get hit repeatedly.
Considering the current market environment:
BTC and ETH spot ETFs have already seen simultaneous net outflows, CPI data is imminent, and macro-level pressures have not disappeared. Even if the big trend is upward, it doesn't mean the market will rise unilaterally; intense shakeouts are inevitable in between.
Don't take experts' views as precise price predictions.
This is just a scenario simulation; the market can change anytime due to capital flows or news.
But one point is worth noting: pullbacks in a bull market are not disasters but opportunities for outside funds to enter, provided you survive and are not shaken out.
For holders, prepare mentally in advance and don't fantasize about only rising prices without any drops;
For those holding cash, don't rush to all-in bottom fishing; wait for the pullback to land and see support signals before making plans.
Tighten leverage at high levels; in oscillating markets with repeated stop losses, leverage is most easily exhausted.
In a bull market, waiting is not scary; what's scary is losing your chips during the oscillations 🫡Robinhood's chain is so popular, yet it's actually working for this coin!
$ARB has been rising these days, and the logic is solid: Robinhood's chain is built on Arbitrum technology, and now it can collect over $3 million in fees per day, once surpassing the Ethereum mainnet.
The key point is this—10% of Robinhood chain's net revenue flows back to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going into the DAO treasury. At peak times, it sends $175,000 to the DAO daily.
This is not just money; it validates Arbitrum's business model: technology licensing with passive revenue. While other L2s are still burning money to subsidize, Arbitrum has already started collecting rent.
Technically, it's still mid-level: current price 0.171, resistance at 0.179 (today's high) and 0.206 (previous high) are two hurdles; support at 0.163 (today's low) is short-term support, and below that MA20 is at 0.121. The price stands about 40% above the moving average, the trend is strong but short-term digestion is needed.
Conclusion: $ARB's narrative has shifted from "governance token" to "rent-collecting asset." This is a qualitative change worth paying close attention to.
#Robinhood首次担任IPO承销商 #CLARITY法案9月15日闯关，60票成关键 What really caused BTC's pullback last week wasn't just an employment data, but the resurgence in interest rate expectations after the data release. The US added 162,000 jobs in August, far exceeding market expectations, with the unemployment rate still at 4.1%. After the data release, the probability of a rate hike in September rose to 58%, the dollar and Treasury yields strengthened, and BTC climbed back from above $80,000 to around 79,000. Meanwhile, liquidity was pointing in a different direction: US spot BTC ETFs saw a net inflow of $987 million last week, and $3.52 billion in August alone. Institutional funds are willing to increase exposure, but the short-term interest rate environment allows more funds to retain liquidity for now, which is the direct reason for the divergence between price and capital. BTC is not sensitive to the Federal Reserve, but is very sensitive to global liquidity. If rate hike expectations continue to rise, risk-free yields will increase the opportunity cost of risk assets; If subsequent inflation or employment data cause expectations to fall back and funds seek highly resilient assets again, BTC may actually become a beneficiary. In the next 90 days, I will focus on three things: 1. Inflation data before the September interest rate meeting; 2. Two-year US Treasury yields and the US dollar index; 3. Will BTC ETF funds change their pace due to shifts in interest rate expectations? If ETF funds continue to flow in while interest rate expectations continue to rise, do you think institutions are lying in wait, or is the market waiting for the next bigger macro signal? #BTC #美联储 #美债 #美元指数 The above is only a compilation of public information and market observation, and does not constitute investment advice.$ZEC brothers, we made it, another long position won 🍀｜5x leverage steadily earned 592U
Personal live trading review, privacy coins are highly volatile 🔥
$ZEC 5x full position long 📊
Entry: 1238｜Exit: 1268
Return +11.96%, pocketed profit 592.48U 🟢
After trading ZEC for so long, I finally slowly figured out its temperament 😂
Entered at 16:37 in the afternoon, observed that after a pullback there was buying support; funds in the privacy sector are still rotating repeatedly, showing no signs of fully exiting. Decisively took a light 5x leveraged long position, no heavy bets, no aggressive moves, just capturing the confirmed rebound segment.
Held the position for over two hours, the market steadily recovered upward, reached the target profit range, took profit and exited immediately, not greedy for the later market ✅.
💡Trading insights on ZEC during this period:
Previously repeatedly lost money on this coin, either chasing highs and getting trapped, or shorting and getting violently squeezed. Later gradually realized that privacy coins belong to a highly volatile emotional sector and cannot be forced into mainstream coin logic.
When it rises, it’s irrational; when it falls, it has no bottom line. The only thing to do is: light positions, short-term trades, take profits when good.
Don’t expect to catch the entire main rise, don’t think long-term narrative, just capture small waves you understand, accumulate small wins into big wins.
5x leverage is already enough for such highly volatile coins, returns are good, risks controllable. In the end, trading is not about who earns more, but who lasts longer 🌱.#Visa stablecoin annualized settlement volume exceeds $20 billion Visa disclosed that the annualized settlement scale of stablecoins has exceeded $20 billion, a year-on-year increase of more than 15 times, with over 160 stablecoin-linked card projects launched globally, and related payment volume nearly doubling year-on-year. This indicates that traditional payment giants are integrating stablecoins into the settlement infrastructure, and stablecoins are no longer just speculative tools within the crypto community but are gradually entering mainstream payment systems.
This data represents the annualized operating scale, which is the settlement completed by issuing institutions with Visa using stablecoins, and does not equal the total consumer spending by end users. In the model, users hold stablecoins on-chain and can directly spend at global merchants through Visa cards, with stablecoins completing the settlement on the backend, achieving 7×24 hour settlement and improving cross-border payment efficiency.
However, there are practical bottlenecks in the business: issuers need to advance daily settlement funds, and small to medium projects face liquidity pressure. Visa is also collaborating with institutions to launch stablecoin credit tools to alleviate this issue.
For the crypto market, this is a medium to long-term positive, enhancing real-world use cases for stablecoins and benefiting compliant stablecoins like USDC. However, in the short term, the impact on the BTC and ETH markets is limited, as this is more of an industry infrastructure development. Future focus will be on tracking the expansion of stablecoin card projects and changes in global regulatory policies. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #BTC与黄金90日相关性升至+0.50 Recently, there's an interesting data point: the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold has risen to +0.50.
What does +0.50 mean? You can think of it like this—they're now like grasshoppers tied to the same string. Although it's not to the extent of "if you die, I die," their rise and fall rhythms are becoming more synchronized. When Bitcoin surges, gold is very likely to follow; when Bitcoin pulls back, gold gets dragged down too.
This was unthinkable three years ago. Back then, Bitcoin was as close to Nasdaq as brothers, trembling whenever the US stock market shivered. Now, it's moving closer to gold, showing some signs of a safe-haven attribute.
Why is this happening? Institutions play a big role. Wall Street folks are pouring money in, treating Bitcoin as "digital gold" in their portfolios, and when they buy gold, they naturally bring Bitcoin along, so the correlation goes up.
But don't take it too seriously. +0.50 can only be considered a moderate to low binding; it's still far from a true "safe-haven asset." Don't forget, Bitcoin still has the old tradition of dropping 20% in a day, which gold doesn't have.
We can only say the direction is set, but the road is still long. At least it shows that in the eyes of institutions, Bitcoin is slowly transforming from a "casino chip" into a "portfolio asset."BTC bounced back to 79,000, but money is quietly shifting places
BTC has returned above 79,000.
Yesterday it dropped to a low of 77,600, then bounced 1.4% overnight. ETH followed suit, returning to 2,499.
The rebound was quite fast. Just a glance shows who's pushing it—Zcash ETF. Grayscale's ZCSH has been live for two weeks, with assets exceeding $500 million, consuming 550,000 ZEC, and DCG itself bought 100 million shares.
This is the first ETF that allows direct purchase of Zcash spot. With a compliant entry for institutions, ZEC has become the emotional engine of this rebound.
But has the money really come back?
I checked the data: Bitcoin spot ETFs had a net outflow of $46.64 million yesterday, breaking a three-day inflow streak. Grayscale's GBTC itself saw an outflow of $65.5 million.
Looking at the whole market: in the past 24 hours, BTC had a net outflow of $1.808 billion, ETH $584 million, SOL $193 million. The three major mainstream coins combined saw over $2.5 billion outflow. Last week, digital asset investment products had a total outflow of $726 million, matching the record set in March this year.
Money is flowing out of the mainstream. Where is it going?
Two directions.
One is altcoins. DOT rose 12% in 24 hours and 38% in a week. ARB rose 50% in a week. Mainstream is bleeding, and existing funds are moving to targets with greater elasticity.
The other is institutions. France's Capital B bought 376 BTC, worth 25.3 million euros. Strive increased holdings by 1,375 BTC for $109 million at an average price of $79,281, with total holdings exceeding 24,500 BTC. Tom Lee's Bitmine added $70 million in ETH. Canaan Technology still holds 1,915 BTC and 3,951 ETH.
Retail investors are exiting, institutions are buying. Mainstream is flowing out, altcoins are rising.
Three things are happening simultaneously, but it doesn't look like the same group is doing all of them.
BTC bounced back to 79,000, and sentiment looks good. But oil prices are approaching $100, the probability of a rate hike is 58%, and CPI data will be released in two days. Any data exceeding expectations could push the recently rebounded market back down.
I won't chase at this level. Some buy on discounts, some sell on rebounds. I need to first see clearly which side I'm on.
Short-term watch the data, long-term watch the positions.
Don't let the rebound cloud your judgment.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC $DOGE's greatest strength has never been its technology.
It's that it simply doesn't need to explain itself.
When market sentiment is good, everyone knows what to buy.
When the market starts seeking high Beta assets, DOGE naturally re-enters the capital spotlight.
This is also why DOGE is rarely completely ignored during every round of rising risk appetite.
But conversely, its weakness is also very obvious:
It is too dependent on market sentiment.
When the macro environment weakens, DOGE is often more susceptible to capital withdrawal than BTC.
So now when I look at DOGE, I don't treat it as a "fundamental asset."
I prefer to see it as a market sentiment indicator.
If BTC starts to stabilize, altcoin trading volume increases, and Meme sees a large influx of funds again, DOGE usually reacts very sensitively.
But if the macro environment continues to deteriorate and funds return to BTC or even cash, DOGE will find it hard to stay unaffected.
So what really matters for DOGE is never how much it rises on a given day.
It's whether the market is willing to take risks again.$ZEC has more than tripled in three months,
$NEAR is currently also surging,
its core speculative logic is the derivative trading of $ZEC's market.
A typical "shovel seller" narrative,
and it has been overly romanticized by the community.
If you are optimistic about ZEC continuing to rise,
NEAR indeed has a leverage effect.
But be aware that its value capture is far less attractive than the story suggests,
and being highly tied to a single asset means concentrated risk:
ZEC-related trading pairs account for nearly 40% of NEAR Intents' total trading volume,
NEAR is almost the "shadow of ZEC".
Once ZEC pulls back, NEAR's trading volume and buyback logic will collapse simultaneously.
Some even call it a "zero coin".
But objectively speaking, NEAR is still different from those projects that truly go to zero:
it is still in development, has actual revenue, and an ecosystem in use.
It just fell from a high point without any mercy.
