1. Market Environment

Asset management firm VanEck has filed to issue shares for a Solana (SOL) Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), marking the first such registration in the USA Influenced by this positive news, the 24-hour increase in SOL token reached nearly 8%, breaking $150. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have not changed significantly, remaining roughly steady at $62,000 and $3440 respectively.

Regarding Ethereum ETFs, according to official news, 21Shares has submitted a new 8-A12B filing for its spot Ethereum ETF. Charles Yu, who is the vice president of research at Galaxy, reported on Wednesday that in the first five months of trading, the inflow of funds into the Ethereum ETF is conservatively estimated to be 20% of that into Bitcoin ETFs. Although there is anticipation for Ethereum ETFs, the market consensus is that the inflow into Ethereum ETFs will not reach the levels seen with Bitcoin.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – Solana Memecoins (NUB, MANEKI, and WEN)

Primary reasons:

Asset management firm VanEck's application to issue shares for a Solana (SOL) Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) has positively impacted the Solana ecosystem's memecoins, leading to a rebound.
The AI sector has experienced a significant pullback, yet as the projects with the fastest capital flow transmission, there is a trend of rebound in technical indicators.

Gainers: NUB, MANEKI, and WEN rose over 15% in the last 24 hours.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

Post-market trading activity: Monitor whether trading volume in the sector continues to grow during the current rebound phase. If trading volume remains high and prices continue to rise, this suggests that trading activity can be maintained and sustained.
Major investor trend: Financial tools for established memecoins are quite comprehensive. By analyzing futures data, funding rates, and positions, we can understand whether investors continue to invest. Generally, a sudden significant increase in open interest volume is a core indicator of major investor activity, making it essential to stay updated on the futures indicators.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next — ETH Ecosystem Projects

Primary reasons: Coinbase has requested documents from the SEC regarding closed investigations, as the SEC publicly declared in 2018 that Ethereum does not constitute a security. Furthermore, 21Shares has submitted a new 8-A12B filing for its spot Ethereum ETF, indicating steady progress for the Ethereum ETF.

Specific tokens:

UNI: Uniswap, the first DeFi Swap project on the blockchain, generated over $2 million in transaction fees over the past 24 hours, indicating substantial revenue.
LDO: A leading LSD project within the ETH ecosystem, with a TVL of $32.5 billion and a valuation just under $2.5 billion, indicating it is relatively undervalued.
PENDLE: The project's TVL continues to rise, now standing at $6.2 billion. Increased stablecoin market caps and demand in the restaking sector support PENDLE's services during the bull market.

FET:

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance has announced significant progress and updates regarding the ASI token merger. The first phase is set to begin on July 1, 2024, with the migration platform on the SingularityDAO DApp opening for AGIX and OCEAN to be converted to FET. The conversion rates are 1 AGIX for 0.433350 FET and 1 OCEAN for 0.433226 FET. The second phase involves cross-chain deployment of ASI tokens, with the FET network upgrading to the ASI network. Migration contracts from FET, AGIX, and OCEAN to ASI will open, along with EVM and other bridges, as trading platforms begin transitioning from FET to ASI's spot market. FET, Fetch.ai's token, has seen a 24-hour increase of 23%. Additionally, Coinbase has announced that it will not perform the OCEAN and FET token migration for users, who must complete it themselves.

Regional focus:

(1) Asian countries: Searches in Asian countries show no significant preferences, but AI projects appear more frequently. This is mainly because projects like FET, AGIX, and OCEAN have performed well in the past 24 hours.

(2) Europe and the Americas: Apart from an interest in Solana Blinks, the KAS token has performed well and garnered attention in some regions. Beyond this, there are no specific focal points in these regions.
