Highlights of Last Week’s Market Overview:

Alpha Mining: Over the past week, BTC’s trend structure shifted from previous oscillation to a predominantly bearish dominance. ETH’s performance was weaker than BTC, showing a low-level sideways consolidation after accelerated decline. During the market downturn, trading volume increased significantly, while during rebounds, trading volume decreased, indicating cautious bottom-fishing funds and a lack of enthusiasm for chasing rallies. In individual coins, STABLE rose approximately 32.56% over the past 7 days, becoming the most prominent strong performer last week. Since its public beta launch, Gate TradFi’s total trading volume has exceeded $10 billion.

On-chain Funds: Over the past week, on-chain funds and attention have migrated in a highly concentrated manner, with the AI Agents narrative quickly rebounding under the spark of Moltbook. Base saw a net inflow of over $110 million, becoming a core recipient, with funds flowing heavily into Agent-related assets like Clanker; Ethereum experienced a noticeable outflow due to the retracement of tokenized gold and silver. Overall, the closed-loop of narrative, product, and trading interfaces has made Base a focal point for both capital and attention in this cycle.
