VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe recent decline in the crypto industry stems from several key factors. First, volatility in the macroeconomic environment—such as the sharp drop in US stocks and global market uncertainty—has weighed heavily on high-risk assets like Bitcoin. Second, an increase in hacker attacks, including a $1.5 billion cryptocurrency theft on February 22, triggered panic and led to over 170,000 liquidations. Third, rising regulatory pressure, such as the SEC’s increased scrutiny of cryptocurrencies in the US and restrictions on trading and mining in some countries, has further undermined investor confidence. Additionally, the market is in a consolidation phase, with many funds buying the dip in the short term but quickly exiting as risk appetite declines. Finally, Bitcoin's failure to break through key resistance levels has led to weak demand and network activity, while ETF outflows have exacerbated the downward pressure. These combined factors have created short-term strain on the crypto market, contributing to its decline. As a result, this edition focuses on Earn-related products.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsRecently, BTC has weakened, altcoins have declined across the board, and trading volume on the Solana blockchain has continued to shrink. Daily transaction volume on Solana has hit new yearly lows, with over $200 million in sell-offs on pump.fun in just over two months since the start of the year. Additionally, the hype surrounding Argentina's president-related memecoin last weekend drained additional liquidity from the Solana network. Adding to investor concerns, a large amount of SOL is set to be unlocked on March 1, exacerbating deteriorating sentiment and leading to a noticeable decline in market wealth effects. Against this backdrop, investors are advised to reduce leverage, manage risk, and reserve funds for potential dip-buying opportunities. This edition highlights several USDT-based, SOL-based, and BTC-based Earn products, offering investors a diverse range of investment options.

Recently, several U.S. financial giants have applied to launch spot ETFs for assets such as XRP and LTC.

VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe Solana ecosystem stands to gain significantly from Trump's token launch. Celebrity involvement often generates substantial attention, attracting new users to the Solana blockchain and boosting on-chain trading volume. Furthermore, Trump's influence may encourage increased investment and attract developers, fostering greater diversity and innovation within the ecosystem. However, the sustainability of celebrity influence is uncertain and hinges on market confidence and the regulatory environment. In the long term, ecosystem projects on the Solana chain are well-positioned to be the ultimate beneficiaries, making them worthy of investor attention.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield has been rising recently, with the U.S. Dollar Index surpassing the 110 mark. The upcoming release of CPI data and the uncertainty surrounding Trump's inauguration next week could further heighten market volatility.

This edition highlights some of Bitget's token launch promotions and on-chain Earn products based on USDT/USDC, BTC, and SOL, offering investors a wider range of options.
