Crypto KOL Community & Market Trends

I needed to know which altcoin KOLs are talking about, so I went to #CMCAgentHub and boom, the agent pointed me toward CRV as a talking point.
Macro first:
The backdrop looked like neutral chop with low confidence.
Liquidity was supportive, but ETF demand pressure, inflation/rate uncertainty, weak BTC-Nasdaq linkage, and missing market pulse data kept the read cautious.
KOL sentiment:
$CRV was detected, but discussion data was limited, so no forced conclusion.
Token profile:
Verified CRV identity
~$303M market cap
~$1.24B Curve TVL
100K+ holders
14D holders +1.04%

HYPE at $63, are you still waiting for a pullback?

Bitwise spot ETF enters the fray, Galaxy Digital just unstaked 1 million HYPE ready to dump, and another 9.92 million are unlocking on May 29 — up 17% in 7 days, 46% in 14 days, 62% in a month, and over 150% year-to-date. BTC is stuck at $60k, ETH is half-dead at $2,000, but HYPE is rocketing like it's on fire.

First thing: HYPE's rise isn't driven by stories — it's a money printing machine.

Do you know why HYPE can rally against the trend this time? It's not meme sentiment, not Twitter shilling — it's a real-money buyback machine.

Hyperliquid has a mechanism called the "Assistance Fund" that takes 99% of the exchange's trading fees to buy HYPE on the open market. Since launch, cumulative revenue has exceeded $1.16 billion, almost all used to buy back its own token. As of now, over 45 million HYPE have been permanently burned, worth about $2 billion at market cap.

Second thing: The ETF is here, but the real buyers are not retail investors.

In mid-May, Bitwise launched the HYPE spot ETF (BHYP) on the NYSE.

Bitwise not only stakes HYPE internally to earn yield, but also takes 10% of management fees to buy HYPE to strengthen its own balance sheet.

Galaxy Digital unstaked 1 million HYPE on May 29. Logically that's bearish, right? Well, the selling pressure was directly absorbed by demand from traditional financial institutions.

On one side, Galaxy Digital is taking profits; on the other, Bitwise is rushing in.

Third thing: On May 29, 9.92 million HYPE unlock — then what?

On May 29, 9.92 million HYPE unlock, worth approximately $572 million.

On May 25, 7.8 million HYPE just unlocked, worth $480 million. With two large unlocks stacked, any other coin would have crashed by now.

Plus, there's a small unlock in July (about 450k HYPE, worth $28 million), which is a much lighter pressure compared to the previous volumes.

The market tells you one thing with its price: the negative impact of unlocks has already been priced in.

Bull vs bear showdown — judge for yourself.

On one side:

$1.16 billion in revenue fully used for buybacks, 45 million tokens permanently burned

Bitwise ETF rushing in, institutional demand exploding

Up 46% in 14 days, doubled in 1 year, trend fully bullish

Perpetual swap volume already surpasses most CEXs

On the other side:

Two large unlocks in May, totaling over 17 million tokens

Whales like Galaxy Digital are taking profits

Buyback size dropped from $316 million in Q3 2025 to $192 million in Q1 2026, a 40% decline

Once trading volume shrinks, the buyback flywheel reverses direction

Key Levels

Resistance above: 67.13 → 70-72 → 75-77

Support below: 62-65 → 60 → 55-52

For those already holding:

If you have a thick profit cushion, hold tight. Move stop loss to below 60.

For those with empty / light positions:

Wait for pullback. Enter in batches at the 62-65 range, stop loss below 55.

For futures traders:

Light position, within 3x leverage. HYPE is extremely volatile — high leverage is just giving away money.

Position management:

Within 10-15% of total capital. It's a large-cap coin, but its volatility can still kill you.

HYPE is like SOL in 2020 —

Back then everyone was calling it a "garbage altcoin," but it went from $1 to $200.

It's not that HYPE is too expensive — it's that you keep waiting for a pullback.

At $67, you think it's expensive.

When it hits $100, will you be slapping your thigh in regret?#Gate股票转仓功能上线 #Strategy拟回购股票 $BTC $ETH $HYPE

The Solana puppy I bought earlier $Jotchua is now 3x. Previously, I only simply thought the community was strong. More and more people have been changing their avatars to the puppy. Among the coins shouted out by Ansem, it is the strongest besides solana:9cRCn9rGT8V2imeM2BaKs13yhMEais3ruM3rPvTGpump. $ANSEM After 150m, the overflow funds will most likely flow into here. Those holding coins can continue to observe and wait, then take profit. Those without coins can jump in and do some swing trades.

Relationship tips: If a girl wants to test whether her boyfriend’s emotions are stable, the best way is to take him to make perler beads. When making perler beads, check whether he’s calm and whether he has the patience to finish a piece of work with you. For the ones who can finish patiently, 9 out of 10 are good men. I guess after men in the crypto space get used to making quick money, most of them don’t have the patience to finish perler beads.

Walsh has gone more dovish—he clearly mentioned that near-term inflation risks have eased. Long positions have already got back to breakeven and are showing small profits for now. Do you think this move is just “pump-and-dump”/baiting people with talk, or is it really going to trigger a big rebound at the weekly level?

Brothers, the win/lose direction I predicted yesterday was completely correct—continue with my World Cup predictions ⬇️
🇪🇸 Spain VS 🇦🇹 Austria
Main pick: 2:0
Alternate picks: 3:1, 2:1

Win/Draw/Lose prediction ✅ Spain wins ⚠️ Beware of a big win. Reasons:

Iran was still shouting "permanent control of Hormuz" last week, with missiles hitting ships.

This week, the tone changed abruptly: sitting down to discuss how much to charge for transit fees.

From "I'll destroy your ship" to "pay up and you can pass" — this shift is faster than my portfolio rebalancing.

Iran has indeed softened. From military deterrence to economic demands, it shows the folks in Tehran have figured it out: actually blockading the strait means going to war with the whole world, but collecting tolls? That's called "legitimate sheep-shearing."

The Americans are shrewd too, desperately urging Iran to drop the toll, even offering terms of exchange—

"The gains from lifting sanctions will be far greater than what you'd collect from a century of tolls."

In plain English: Don't bother with those tiny silver coins; let you out to do business and make real money.

If Iran really agrees not to collect tolls, that's a big positive: oil prices drop, inflation eases, BTC takes off.

But if the toll becomes a fait accompli?

Every day, 20 million barrels of oil pass through there. Adding a "Hormuz surcharge" per barrel — even just a few cents — means global energy transportation costs are permanently higher than pre-agreement levels.

Permanent, which means inflation will not truly subside.

You think the geopolitical risk is gone? No, it's just changed from "explosive risk" to "chronic poison."

Oil prices won't spike to 120 due to a blockade, but they'll be stuck firmly in the 80-90 range, unable to drop.

For the crypto market, this is the most disgusting scenario:

Not a crash, not a surge, but a long-term high-level stagnation.

The Fed sees oil prices refusing to come down — how can it cut rates?

Without rate cuts, how can liquidity ease?

Without liquidity easing, how can BTC hit new highs?

You think "bad news priced in" means good news?

The fear is that the bad news has just changed clothes, becoming "long-term neutral."

The core game right now:

"Iran wants tolls; the US offers sanctions relief.

If Tehran collects fees and also takes the money, then the whole world is paying their bill."

In the next few days, watch the negotiation outcome:

No tolls → short-term bullish, oil drops, BTC makes a run.

Toll with a discount → permanent cost increase, inflation floor rises, the "macro ceiling" for crypto might be lower than expected.

Before, you feared missiles coming at you.

From now on, you fear an extra fifty cents per barrel of oil.

Missiles are news; fifty cents is the rest of your life.

#Bitcoin might be repeating the same bottom structure from the last cycle.
• 2022: BTC bottomed ~20% below the 2017 cycle high.
• Now: BTC is trading ~15% below the 2021 cycle high.
History doesn’t repeat exactly, but it often rhymes.
Too early to call the bottom.
Too similar to ignore.
If this pattern holds, the market may be much closer to the end of the pain than most realize.

First time in history.

ETH has been down for three consecutive quarters.

Not two months, not half a year—an entire nine months.

Nine months, brothers.

Even the last bear market wasn’t this brutal.

And then what? On the same day, an organization called Ethereum Institutional announced that it was established.

The official explanation is: accelerating the institutional adoption of the Ethereum ecosystem.

While the price is falling, corporate treasuries are splitting sharply—

One side is clearing out and running, while the other side quietly increases their holdings.

That’s when an organization suddenly appears that calls itself a “dedicated institutional liaison.”

You judge it—take a closer look.

This isn’t a strategic layout; it’s crisis response.

The ecosystem has finally realized one thing: you can’t fool institutions anymore with just a “technology narrative.”

Over the past three years, Ethereum has told three stories:

“We are the settlement layer.”

“We are the application layer.”

“We are the most decentralized smart contract platform.”

After hearing that, institutions nodded, bought a bit, and then still sold when they had to.

Why?

Because what institutions want isn’t stories—it’s a dedicated sales team.

They want someone to help them with compliance, handle custody solutions, explain tax issues, and write white papers to engage with risk-control committees.

These things can’t be written in code.

They can only be done by people.

So, in essence, the establishment of Ethereum Institutional is just telling the truth:

“We’re finally starting to do sales.”

But—

An organization gets established, and money flows in—yet there’s an entire Pacific Ocean between the two.

Think about it:

Set up a non-profit organization, hire a few people, put out a few press releases, hold a few closed-door meetings—

And then institutions’ hundreds of millions of dollars just slam in?

Don’t kid yourself.

For institutions to enter, they need three things:

First: Stable regulatory expectations.

Do we have that now? No.

Second: Predictable returns.

Right now, ETH staking yields are just over 3%, while US Treasuries are 5%—even a fool knows which to choose.

Third: Exit liquidity.

Once I’m in, can I get out when I want?

Look at the nine months of the K-line— the answer is written right on its face.

Ethereum Institutional is right, but it’s not enough.

It’s a necessary condition, not a sufficient one.

What can truly reverse the direction of capital is that at least two of these three things happen:

Regulation clearly states that “ETH is not a security”

Staking yields double (or the expectation for the coin price is strong enough)

The overall market recovers, and liquidity floods back

Right now, only one of these three is in place.

The bottom of a price cycle is often accompanied by accelerated infrastructure development.

In the 2018 bear market, they built the beginnings of DeFi.

In the 2022 bear market, they built the L2 framework.

Today in 2026, what’s being built is—an institutional channel.

The difference is that the first two were technical construction; this time it’s sales construction.

It’s not as sexy, but it might be more useful.

Do you believe the script of “Ethereum’s organization has been set up—institutions are coming,”

or do you think “three straight quarters of declines is only the beginning, and the fourth quarter will continue”?

Welcome them at last to start doing the work. But as for the money—I’ll only believe it when I see real inflows of cash. #Gate股票转仓功能上线 #Strategy拟回购股票 #特朗普披露持有超1亿美元BTCETH $BTC $ETH $SOL

What is the intelligence level of the audience on video channels, really?

Take a look at the misspelling on her jersey.

The letter "M" is ridiculously wrong.

The logo is also incorrect.

It's obviously AI-generated at a glance.

Yet they still insist on captioning it:

"Top card girl at the World Cup, this should be the ceiling of humanity, right?"

Meta steps on the gas, AI concept stocks collectively lie flat

What triggered the crash in the AI sector wasn't a collapse in demand.

It was actually just one sentence from Zuckerberg.

Meta's single-day plunge dragged down the entire US stock AI sector.

MU, SK Hynix, SNDX—these storage stars saw their liquidation volumes spike directly.

CoreWeave was even worse, dropping 13.92% in a single day.

The decline spread overnight to Asia, and Korean stocks opened with a circuit breaker.

Everyone is asking: Is there a problem with demand?

No.

There’s no problem with demand—it’s even still growing.

The problem is—Zuckerberg said Meta’s computing power will be leased out externally.

The lethality of this sentence is ten thousand times greater than you imagine.

Why?

Because previously, the market’s justification for giving high valuations to companies like CoreWeave was simple:

You are the "oil company of the AI era," computing power is scarce, you set the price.

Now?

Meta says: I also have computing power, and not only do I use it for myself, I also rent it to others.

Clients have become competitors overnight.

You originally came to me to buy computing power. Now you have your own computing power and are competing with me for business.

So where is CoreWeave’s pricing power? Where is its future profit growth expectation?

All shattered.

That’s why CoreWeave could drop nearly 14% in a single day—

Not because of poor performance, but because the market suddenly realized that your moat might not exist at all.

What’s even more ruthless is the chain reaction behind this.

Once Meta’s dual-track model of "self-use + external leasing" works,

Will Google follow? Will Amazon follow? Will Microsoft follow?

When every major AI company becomes a computing power lessor,

Then third-party computing and storage vendors

Will face not competition,

But survival pressure.

Do you think the AI supply chain is "the chipmakers eat meat, the computing power providers drink soup"?

Next might be "the computing power providers have even their soup bowls taken away."

Is this a short-term emotional shock or a structural restructuring?

My judgment: It’s structural.

Because this is not just Meta’s move alone.

It’s a signal:

The giants realize that computing power itself is not a moat; computing power plus ecosystem is.

When Meta both builds large models and outputs computing power,

It is actually replicating AWS’s path—

Turning infrastructure into an external business,

Earning money twice, while strangling potential competitors.

And what capital markets fear most is "profit redistribution being renegotiated."

Previously, the logic of the entire AI supply chain was "making the pie bigger together."

Now it becomes "the giants cut off the biggest piece, and the rest scramble for the leftovers."

"The AI bubble doesn’t burst on the demand side,

It bursts on the supply side with 'I want it all.'"

Zuckerberg’s stepping on the gas didn’t crush Meta’s stock price,

It crushed the valuation logic of the entire third-party computing power industry.

And the AI concept coins and computing power track tokens you hold,

If you are still telling the "selling shovels" story,

I advise you to think again:

When the shovel giant also starts mining personally,

Is your shovel still valuable?#Gate股票转仓功能上线 #Strategy拟回购股票 $BTC $MU $ETH

Looking back, Charlie Munger spent his entire life emphasizing the need to build rational decision-making frameworks through checklists, and Jim Simons became a legend on Wall Street precisely by eliminating human emotions and relying solely on quantitative models that trust systems and data. The biggest barrier between top institutions and individual investors has never been about who knows more insiders, but rather that institutions have an extremely calm, systematic approach, while most retail investors operate based on gut feelings most of the time.

Nashnova’s AI analysis skills can be put to excellent use.

For example, right now I’m tracking a company. I can directly call up the fundamental analysis skill within its interface. I just tell it to do a deep dive on the company—no buy or sell recommendations, just a research judgment framework.

What it returns is a crystal-clear logical network. It breaks things down for you, item by item: what exactly is driving the company’s revenue at this stage, what expectations are currently priced into the market, where the current valuation level stands, what catalysts might trigger a move in the next one to three months, and most importantly, when to recognize that our core thesis has broken down and we need to cut losses immediately.

In the future, Nashnova will also introduce agents from more experts and research teams. You can subscribe to different investment research frameworks from various perspectives at any time, and even build out a fully personalized analytical model step by step.

76% chance of a rate hike—things may unravel

At 8:30 tonight, the data the Fed fears most is about to come out.

And before the data is even released, cracks have already appeared.

ADP employment: 98k.

Forecast: 118k.

It directly hit the lowest level since March.

But that’s not enough. Last night, Fed Chair Waller said a line that left all of Wall Street stunned:

"Inflation risks have declined somewhat."

Feel this dramatic reversal:

The day before yesterday, Hammack was still on stage shouting, "May need to raise rates."

The hawkish momentum was cranked all the way up, and the market, scared, pushed the probability of a September rate hike to 76%.

Two days later—

ADP collapsed.

Waller turned dovish.

Gold and silver jumped.

The rate-hike narrative—first time it showed a crack.

And this crack comes from the very core of the Fed.

Now everyone is watching tonight’s nonfarm payrolls at 8:30.

If nonfarm confirms that hiring is cooling—

then that 76% rate-hike probability will be wiped away like a sandcastle by the tide.

Not a slow fade, but a violent repricing.

What does that mean?

It means U.S. Treasury yields will turn and head downward.

It means the dollar can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It means—

Bitcoin, the spring that’s been compressed by rate hikes for an entire quarter, may finally spring back.

I know what you’re thinking:

"The Fed has played us too many times. Could this just be more talk?"

Let me tell you where the difference is:

Previously, every "turn dovish" was soft talk from some official during an interview.

But this time, it’s data that moves first.

ADP 98k isn’t a vague signal—it’s a specific, below-expectation number that’s impossible to ignore.

Waller’s statement wasn’t random—it was a response to this data.

The sequence has changed.

The causal chain has changed.

How BTC moves tonight directly defines the direction of Q3’s opening.

If nonfarm confirms weakness—

rate-hike expectations fall → expectations for tighter liquidity ease → BTC tests resistance to the upside.

Q3’s main theme could be "repair."

If nonfarm unexpectedly strengthens—

then the market will interpret Waller’s dovish remarks as "stubborn talk."

Rate-hike expectations will surge again, and BTC may be pushed back down to the bottom of the range once more.

That’s why tonight at 8:30 is more important than any nonfarm payroll night in the past.

U.S. stocks are closed on Friday—tonight is the only window this week for institutions to price in moves.

In other words, all smart money will pile into bets today.

"The market has suffered from rate hikes for too long.

But just as the idea of rate cuts pops up,

most people’s first reaction isn’t excitement—

it’s disbelief."

Hidden inside this "disbelief" is Q3’s biggest expectation gap.

If you keep waiting for "confirmation before entering,"

waiting for the rate-hike probability to truly drop from 76% to below 40%—

then BTC may no longer be at this position anymore. #Gate股票转仓功能上线 #Strategy拟回购股票 #道琼斯指数创历史新高 $BTC $ETH $XAU

I suddenly noticed a problem. Isn't S6 starting? Why does it still show S5, and the S5 points have disappeared.
@River4fun @RiverdotInc
First, Senegal was disappointing. They led by 2 goals but were equalized, then overturned in extra time. I'm speechless. The match was too late, I didn't watch it.
But I watched England's match yesterday. I feel like I won't be able to get my 150K $River PTS. It seems like at this rate, England might not beat Mexico. I bet on England to reach the quarterfinals. Damn it.
I never watch really late matches. Yesterday's match was just at midnight, so I went to watch it.
Scared me to death. I almost thought England would choke.
I have to say, Kane is still amazing. Three defenders on him, and with just a tiny bit of space and angle, he scored. That power shot was absolutely stunning.
And in the first 70 minutes, Kane barely got the ball. Only two chances, and he seized them all. Truly a top-class number 9. Even at his age, it doesn't affect him.
Less than 7 minutes into the match, I felt that the opponent just casually passed the ball and found the far post with no one defending, leading to the conceded goal.
After conceding, they dominated for a long time. The two starting wingers were terrible. Madueke had some effect, could dribble a bit, though no effective attack. There was a cross in first-half stoppage time, it was okay, but Bellingham's header was saved by the goalkeeper. Bellingham was unlucky; two or three headers were all saved. The DR Congo goalkeeper was also fierce in the first half, making all sorts of high and low saves.
Let me also talk about Rashford. He was completely useless. I don't even want to comment. The entire match, no breakthroughs, no effective passes. Madueke could still be praised for two seconds, but you are completely useless. I want to praise you but can't. There was one shot at the far post that gave me a slight impression, but unfortunately, Wan-Bissaka cleared it off the line.
Fortunately, both of them were substituted. After Gordon came on, Rice moved to right back, and the whole team came alive.
Gordon's cross to Kane equalized the score. Although the second goal also came from his pass, I feel it wasn't much related to him; it was all Kane's brilliance.
Hope they keep it up in the round of 16 and try to get me some $River PTS back.

The market is very clear today.
Capital is pulling out of high-valuation tech and flowing back into value defenses.
Financials are leading; healthcare is holding up against the decline.
Tech and semiconductors are being sold off directly.
This is not a broad sell-off—this is a style rotation.
As interest rates move higher, long-duration assets get hit first.
So the most important thing today isn’t how much NVDA dropped.
It’s that Q has already hit a key support level.
If it can’t hold, this round of high-valuation AI-linked chain selling may not be finished yet.
But interestingly, the VIX didn’t spike in sync.
That suggests the market is not panicking.
Instead, it’s deleveraging in an orderly manner.
In this environment, the most dangerous thing is chasing high-end tech.
The most valuable focus is whether financials and healthcare can keep drawing in capital.
Whether semiconductors can repair from an oversold condition, and whether US Treasury yields can keep pushing higher.
Over the next few days, Q’s position here
may determine the short-term direction of the entire tech sector.
