VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsRecent bullish news surrounding a potential Solana ETF has reignited market optimism. The SEC has asked issuers to update their S-1 filings, signaling that ETF approval could be near. This development has boosted confidence in the Solana ecosystem. As a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain, Solana (SOL) offers fast transactions and low fees, making it a hub for DeFi and NFT activity, while also drawing increasing institutional interest. Jito (JTO), the leading liquid staking protocol on Solana, saw its token surge 17% after JitoSOL was included in a Solana ETF prospectus. Its MEV optimization further enhances network value. Jupiter (JUP), Solana's top DEX aggregator with a 95% market share, recently launched a lending protocol, highlighting strong growth potential. These tokens offer investors early exposure ahead of a possible ETF approval and a chance to benefit from Solana's expanding ecosystem.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe crypto market has recently been affected by multiple uncertainties, posing significant challenges for investors. Since the Trump administration took office, its foreign policy has shifted rapidly and unpredictably. For example, in early 2025, the U.S. Unexpectedly tightened restrictions on tech exports to China, leading to diverging views on the future of blockchain-related technologies. Although Trump has repeatedly voiced support for cryptocurrencies on social media, no concrete policies have followed. This ambiguity has made market sentiment swing between optimism and caution, leaving it highly reactive to both breakthroughs and black swan events. Meanwhile, the altcoin market continues to languish, lacking a clear investment narrative. Previously common sector rotations, such as DeFi, AI, or GameFi, have largely faded. Hype is scattered and short-lived. Memecoins on various public chains have surged in number, but most have short lifespans and quickly go to zero. This makes it harder for investors to identify high-quality projects. In this environment, allocating part of your capital to stablecoin-based yield products may be a prudent move. Beyond conventional DeFi protocols such as Aave, Compound, and Kamino for staking USDT and USDC, Bitget provides users with a broader selection of stablecoin investments offering higher APRs.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsEthena, Hyperliquid, and ONDO stand out in this cycle as high-conviction projects with exceptionally strong product-market fit (PMF). Ethena centers around its innovative stablecoin protocol, USDe. Through dynamic strategy adjustments and efficient capital utilization, it offers both high yield and stability. With over $1.3 billion in circulation, it reflects strong and growing market demand. Hyperliquid focuses on decentralized derivatives trading. Built on a high-performance L1 and powered by user-driven strategy optimization, it has seen a surge in trading volume. This showcases explosive ecosystem growth and has gained traction from both institutional and retail participants. ONDO bridges traditional finance and DeFi by tokenizing real-world assets (RWA), such as U.S. Treasuries. It meets the growing investor demand for low-risk, high-liquidity products, and its market recognition is rapidly accelerating. Each of these projects addresses a key pain point in its vertical: Ethena delivers yield stability, Hyperliquid boosts trading efficiency, and ONDO connects TradFi to DeFi through RWA. Together, they represent a combination of technological innovation and strong market traction. Looking ahead to 2025, macro conditions — from low volatility to policy tailwinds — further support their continued growth, positioning them as standout investment opportunities in this cycle.

The upgrade improved the staking mechanism, expanded Layer 2 blob support, and introduced account abstraction.

- 22:43Trump: Hopes to Release All Epstein Case-Related DocumentsBlockBeats News, August 2 — Trump stated that he "hopes to release all documents related to the Epstein case," but does not want anyone to be harmed or implicated as a result. Trump also said that if those holding the documents truly had any information related to him, it should have been made public before the presidential election. As previously reported by BlockBeats, on July 29, former U.S. President Trump said he "never had the honor" of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island. Trump stated that he declined Epstein's invitation and called it a wise decision. Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from Epstein in the past. On July 24, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi had informed Trump in May that there were many individuals involved in the Epstein files, including his name. After this report was published, the White House issued conflicting responses: initially releasing a statement calling it "fake news," but later, a White House official told Reuters that the administration did not deny Trump's name appeared in some of the documents, and pointed out that Trump's name had already been included in a batch of materials Bondi compiled for conservative influencers in February. Trump was friendly with Epstein from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and Trump's name appeared multiple times in the flight logs of Epstein's private jet during the 1990s. The names of Trump and several of his family members also appeared in Epstein's contact book, alongside hundreds of others.
