Gate Research: Institutional Buying Continues Amid BTC Price Pullback | Gate CEO Highlights Imminent Mass Adoption of Web3

• Market Review: On August 21, BTC experienced a series of declines, breaking below the 26-day moving average, with the current price around 110,025 USDT. ETH, on the other hand, surged in the early hours of August 25, reaching a new high of 4,946 USD for this cycle, before entering a corrective phase.
• Trending Tokens: FLOCK benefited from a 25% token lock-up and its listing on spot trading, rising 28.48% over 24 hours to $0.427. OMI jumped 94.21% over 24 hours to $0.00042 following the launch of new features on the VeVe platform, enabling tokens to be converted into Gems to purchase licensed digital collectibles. EDU gained 16.39% to $0.161, driven by the release of Open Campus 3.0, with the market remaining optimistic about its applications in the education ecosystem.
• Alpha Insights: The crypto market saw nearly $900 million in liquidations this week, primarily driven by over-leveraged long positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum. With a stronger US dollar and declining overall risk appetite, crypto-related equities in the US broadly declined. Japan's largest Web3 event of 2025, WebX, took place at the Prince Park Tower Tokyo on August 25–26. Gate CEO Han Lin emphasized that mass adoption of Web3 is inevitable.
• Gate Launchpool: Gate currently offers Alt.town (TOWN) subscription on its platform. Users can stake USDT or TOWN before 12:00 (UTC+0) on September 2, 2025, to claim a free airdrop of 2,727,273 TOWN tokens.
