ETH breaks through the $3400 mark

Japanese listed company Remixpoint announced that it will fully pay its CEO's salary in Bitcoin, marking the first attempt of its kind in Japan. The company stated that this move aims to link the economic risks and returns of CEOs and shareholders through Bitcoin, establishing a new model of "shareholder perspective management". Remixpoint believes that Bitcoin is its core asset and is committed to promoting the integrated development of cryptocurrency, energy, and Web3. The CEO stated that this decision is a symbol of solidarity with shareholders, and the company will continue to explore the next generation of financial strategies based on cryptocurrency. Previously, Japanese listed company Remixpoint held 16.032 billion yen in BTC and 17.113 billion yen in cryptocurrency assets such as ETH, SOL, XRP, and DOGE.

According to BlockBeats, on July 8th, Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) announced that the proportion of Bitcoin miners trading on the chain is at its lowest level in years. Currently, Bitcoin miners account for approximately 3.3% of on chain transactions, the lowest level since November 2022. A decrease in the proportion of miner transactions usually means that they are more inclined to hoard Bitcoin rather than frequent transactions, choosing to reduce selling to wait for the price to rise. November 2022 is currently at a low point in the cryptocurrency market (during the FTX crash period), and the current low proportion may suggest more wait-and-see sentiment.

According to the latest data, Bonk.fun has surpassed Pump.fun to become the leading token issuance platform within the Solana ecosystem, with a market share of 55.2%. Since its launch in January 2024, Pump.fun has dominated the market for two years, with a cumulative trading volume exceeding $8 million. However, Bonk.fun surpassed Pump.fun in just two months with deeper incentive mechanisms and rapid user growth. Bonk.fun's unique rate structure has become the key to its rapid rise. 58% of the platform's revenue is used to purchase and destroy BONK tokens, of which 50% is used for direct destruction and 8% is used as reserves. According to statistics, Bonk.fun has an average daily trading volume of over 1 million US dollars, with an average daily purchase and disposal amount of 500000 US dollars used for BONK. As of now, Bonk.fun has completed 175000 token issuances with a total trading volume of $540 million and generated approximately $34 million in fees, far exceeding Pump.fun's $341 million trading volume and 34.9% market share. In addition, the USELESS token issued by Bonk.fun has quickly become popular, with a market value exceeding $100 million. If Bonk.fun maintains its current growth rate, it is expected that the annualized purchase amount of BONK tokens will reach hundreds of millions of dollars, further tightening the market supply. At the same time, other Solana ecosystem distribution platforms, such as Believe, Jup Studio, and Moonshot, have market shares of 3.8%, 2.1%, and 1.7%, respectively, showing a significant performance gap compared to Bonk.fun.

Odaily Planet Daily News: CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr analyzed in an article that the current market is experiencing a typical Bollinger Bands squeeze phenomenon, and the range between the upper and lower tracks has dropped to 7.7%, which is one of the lowest values in this bull market cycle. Analysts say that this decrease in volatility indicates that the market is accumulating energy and prices are ready to enter the upward phase. In an upward trend environment, the likelihood of an upward breakthrough is significantly higher. Axel pointed out that there have been six significant instances of Bollinger Bands squeezing during this bull market cycle. After four squeezes, there was an immediate increase in prices, while the other two experienced slight adjustments before recovering growth. Based on these experiences, the current squeeze state is likely to indicate another wave of upward momentum, although there may be slight consolidation before that.
