PANews August 3日消息, according to 每经网报道, Changxin Technology listed on the STAR Market this July, and multiple hard-tech companies accelerated through reviews. Hong Kong’s hard-tech performance has been impressive. However, the A-share market has suffered the largest monthly pullback of the year: the STAR 50 Index fell nearly 26% in a single month, the largest intramonth drawdown exceeded 30%, and several publicly offered FOFs that hold overweight positions in technology and heavily allocate to related theme funds saw明显 declines. Regarding this round of adjustment since July and from the second half of June, there are different views in the investment community and response strategies.
One analysis believes that the current tech growth cycle is closely tied to the overseas market rhythm, and the storage sector is clearly “pulling in capital,” but such strong-cycle products do not have sustainability. Another view is that, given the current capital structure in A-shares is chaotic, once it is adjusted and stabilized, there is still a chance for the tech growth direction. Kong Xuebing, fund manager at Jinxin Fund, pointed out that what may attract less attention and discussion is that the capital structure in the A-share market has shown明显 in recent years

Crypto enters a “light-position tug-of-war”; in August, it must hold the $62k support
Bitcoin ended July up 7.27%, officially entering a key phase of competition in August. Because Bitcoin has closed red in August across each of the past three bear-market cycles, with an average decline of 14.8%, the market is worried that August may see another down-close. BIT said that if BTC can hold $62k, panic sentiment will ease and selling pressure will also lessen. Several analysts noted that if the $62k level is lost, BTC may revisit the $57k to $60k range. Analyst CrypNuevo said that BTC needs to reclaim $65k; otherwise, it faces the risk of dipping to $59k.

The Bank of Japan said on Monday that global demand related to artificial intelligence could create persistent upward pressure on Japan’s inflation, or further strengthen the rationale for its recent rate hikes. In the short term, the AI investment boom will boost demand and prices; in the long term, AI applications should improve productivity and bring downward pressure on prices. The report also said that the global positive shock from rising oil prices and AI demand will continue, and that the yen’s depreciation will magnify import costs, causing domestic inflation to likely remain elevated for longer.

Bitcoin self-custody users have gone through a major earthquake.
In the crypto industry’s security narrative, hardware wallets have always been hailed as the ultimate fortress for storing Bitcoin: private keys never touch the internet, and physical isolation keeps the attack surface at bay. But a security crisis erupted from the long-established Bitcoin hardware wallet Coldcard, tearing a massive crack in that belief. On July 30, 1,755.95 BTC—valued at more than $110 million at market price—were quietly batch-cleared from thousands of addresses. The hackers even completed the transfer of the main funds 30 hours before the official warning was released.
The breach wasn’t broken from the outside; instead, a fatal flaw had been buried in the internal foundation for as long as five years. This sparked a chain reaction across the entire crypto market, with on-chain small Bitcoin transfers surging to the highest level since the FTX collapse. Some self-custody users chose to move their tokens to large exchanges or to convert them into other forms.

CryptoQuant analyst Zizcrypto said Bitcoin unrealized loss ratio is 35.2%, with about 35% of tracked supply in the red. This metric is above the 20%-to-40% deep stress zone and far below the 60% capitulation range. In past bear markets, after testing 40% it often consolidated and then approached 60%, leading to capitulation-style declines. Currently it remains relatively elevated but has not reached the capitulation level yet; the 40% and 60%+ zones still need to be watched.
