Matrixport: Bitcoin Likely to Experience Significant Rebound in Early October
Matrixport has released a report stating that Bitcoin is likely to experience a rebound by the end of the year, bringing surprises to many market participants.
The report states that although Bitcoin has been in a consolidation phase since reaching a historic high in March 2024, the year-to-date return has also reached +49%, which is comparable to the predicted +47% return based on historical data. Based on Bitcoin's performance over the past decade, if this historical trend continues, a significant rebound in price is likely in early October. For all participants in the cryptocurrency field, the coming weeks and months will be an exciting period of change.
In addition, there has been a slight rebound in Ethereum transaction fees, indicating that the summer consolidation phase for cryptocurrency assets may be coming to an end. Whether this rebound will continue will require a more detailed and rigorous analysis of Ethereum revenue and transaction fee trends. Keeping a close eye on these indicators can provide a deeper understanding of whether the recent rebound is sustainable. If it is not sustainable, it indicates that there may be new changes in the logic of market activity.
Arthur Hayes: It's Time for Meme Coin Explosion, Can't Ignore PEPE

US to Release Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Data at 20:30 Beijing Time Today
The US will release Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data at 20:30 Beijing time today.
Last week, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate target by 50 basis points, indicating greater confidence in inflation returning to the 2% target level. It is widely expected that the PCE data will provide additional support for this stance. Economists unanimously believe that the month-on-month growth rate of core PCE in August will be close to 0.2%, consistent with the price increases in June and July.
Vitalik: Our Research on Decentralized Scaling Comes from 2015 to 2020
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media, "In 2015, we didn't know about the existence of Rollups and Plasma. Data availability sampling had not been invented. We didn't know when SNARK would be feasible. Basically, everything we know about how to scale in a decentralized way is downstream research from 2015-20."
SEC Partially Wins $600,000 ICO Case Against Blockchain Company Opporty
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has partially won a case against blockchain company Opporty and its founder Sergii Grybniak.
The court ruled that Opporty illegally sold unregistered securities in its ICO in 2018, violating US securities laws. The SEC had previously accused the company of fraudulently raising about $600,000 through its initial token offering (ICO). The judge also determined that Opporty's token "OPP" is an investment contract and should be registered with regulatory agencies.
However, Opporty argued that its sales were in compliance with the exemption clause, and the judge expressed a certain degree of reasonableness in this defense.

According to Fortune, Zhao Changpeng is expected to be released early this Friday, two days earlier than his official release date, as prisoners are released early if the release date falls on a weekend. Zhao Changpeng's lawyer stated that Zhao Changpeng does not wish to be interviewed on the day of his release. However, the media has made some speculations about his next steps.
Zhao Changpeng's first stop is likely to be Dubai or Paris, where his children and their mother, He Yi, live. In addition, the media expects that with Zhao Changpeng's release from prison, more detailed information about the Giggle Academy project, which he initiated before his imprisonment, may emerge in the coming months. Aside from family and charitable work, Zhao Changpeng, now free again, may shift his focus to a third pursuit: becoming extremely wealthy and dominant in the cryptocurrency industry, a position he held for the past decade.
The "Giggle Academy" project aims to create free, fun, and easily accessible learning tools for impoverished children worldwide. However, as of now, Giggle Academy only has a website with several job postings, but detailed information about the project's schedule, funding sources, and scale has not been disclosed. This may be related to Zhao Changpeng's recent legal troubles, and more specific details about Giggle Academy are expected to emerge in the coming months.

"What are the exciting articles worth reading in the past 24 hours"
Recently, the modular blockchain Celestia, which has attracted much attention, has fallen into a crisis of trust. The disclosure of a $100 million financing was actually an over-the-counter (OTC) coin sale, announced just before a large-scale unlock countdown, which has put the leading modular public chain Celestia in the spotlight.
The community has questioned Celestia's behavior, suggesting that there may have been collusion with VCs or institutions to "raise prices for selling" and take advantage of the opportunity to announce the OTC coin sale proceeds as financing news to create positive news, manipulate information, and guide retail investors to buy in, in order to seek private gains.
In the community's view, the Celestia Foundation failed to provide necessary transparent disclosure of this over-the-counter transaction, instead packaging it as financing news, which misled investors and triggered a crisis of trust.
However, as of the time of writing, Celestia has not made any response to this controversy.
Crypto Pain Period Totem CZ Returns, Can Confidence and Innovative Vitality Be Revived?
After 4 months in prison, CZ is expected to return in a few hours. This Chinese entrepreneur, leading Binance to become a great global enterprise, has officially passed his first "calamity" in the process.
Looking back at November 22nd last year, when CZ pleaded guilty and resigned as CEO of Binance, and accepted a record-breaking fine of over $4 billion, the crypto market was in turmoil.
But with CZ and Binance's plea, the crypto market officially ended the era of the wild. Shortly after, the US Bitcoin spot ETF and Ethereum ETF were approved, and the new crypto elite flexed their financial muscles to vie for influence in the US elections, making crypto no longer a niche market.
During CZ's nearly one-year absence, Binance and the entire crypto market transitioned from the wild to strong compliance, from niche to mainstream.
Under the leadership of He Yi and new CEO Richard Teng, Binance's business has steadily developed, with Binance's historical trading volume breaking the $10 trillion mark for the first time in September.
However, everything has not been as smooth as expected. Faced with a rapidly changing crypto market, Binance has inevitably experienced confusion in its strategy and has been embroiled in significant controversy over its listing strategy.
Binance's fate is a microcosm of the crypto industry. As the crypto market transitions from old to new cycles, hope and confusion intertwine.
Although the massive injection of funds from Wall Street once pushed Bitcoin to surpass $70,000, crypto innovation seems to have failed to keep pace. Participants such as project teams, VCs, and retail investors have not enjoyed the immense wealth that they did in the previous bull market cycle. This crypto bull market has been criticized as a false bull market.
As the Federal Reserve begins its interest rate cut cycle, the return of crypto totem CZ, can it inject confidence and innovative vitality into the confused crypto market once again?
Analysis of 2024 Airdrop Performance: Why Have Nearly 90% of Airdropped Tokens Failed?
The report analyzed 62 airdrops on 6 chains, and the results showed that 88% of the airdropped tokens have experienced price declines, with most of them plummeting within 15 days.

With its round body, cute and ugly appearance, unique name, and exaggerated expression, the little dwarf hippo Moo Deng from Thailand has become an overnight sensation worldwide, quickly becoming a meme generator. With the unstoppable charm offensive of "Bouncing Pig," this new international internet celebrity has led to a comprehensive flowering of the "hippo economy," with crypto investors embarking on creative ways to make money, and even reviving zoo trends, leading to a significant resurgence in the MEME economy.
Recently, at the Khao Kheow Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand, a two-month-old dwarf hippo has attracted worldwide attention due to its playful interaction with the keepers. This little hippo, born under the sign of Cancer, is very "rebellious," wanting to "eat" the keepers, getting scared and losing control from the water column, struggling in the bath and almost falling down… These meme-worthy expressions have made Moo Deng a popular subject for creative works, even appearing in Time magazine, and being featured on Twitter and Walmart, among others.
Despite the establishment of a regulatory framework for stablecoins for over a year, the yen's share in the stablecoin market remains small.
