Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, posted on the X platform stating that the investment value of ETH lies in its nature as a trustworthy and neutral store of value, representing the only opportunity on this planet that could potentially reach a scale of over $100 trillion. Currently, the market size of Ethereum is only about $300 billion, which theoretically means there is still a 333-fold increase potential.In the current market, only ETH and BTC are competing for the positioning of "trustworthy and neutral store of value," while all other tokens are essentially "company coins"—prices are driven up by insiders, tied to specific jurisdictions, and heavily reliant on business development (BD) and top-down marketing. Ethereum is also the ecosystem with the strongest social scalability in the crypto space. Serious developers do not want to build applications on your L1; what they seek is greater control and better economic benefits.Robinhood Chain, as an L2, proves this point—it expands the network effects of EVM on one hand while also promoting the distribution of ETH on the other. Nowadays, many early participants of ETH have also started using Robinhood Chain, further reinforcing the overall network effect.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Bitcoin is approaching the threshold for a bullish market state. In the past 24 hours, the price has increased by 3.9%, and open contracts have risen by 11,200 BTC (+3.4%), indicating that this round of increase is accompanied by a rapid expansion of futures leverage, with new leverage being the main driving force rather than short covering.Bitcoin has directly touched the threshold of the bullish model but has not yet been officially confirmed. The key signal is that the daily closing price stands above the model's dynamic threshold. If the price can hold this level after the transition and the accumulated futures leverage does not experience severe liquidation, the signal will be more sustainable. The main risk is that a rapid unwinding of leverage could lead to a reversal of the upward trend.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the August non-farm payroll report tonight, with the market expecting an increase of only 56,000 jobs and an unemployment rate remaining at 4.1%. The market generally believes that the U.S. job market is currently in a "stable but weak" state, and a weakening employment data may not directly prompt the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, with policy focus still on inflation trends.J.P. Morgan's trading desk predicts that if job additions exceed 95,000, the S&P 500 index may drop by 0.5% to 1.25%; if job additions are only between 5,000 and 35,000, the S&P 500 index may rise by 0.25% to 0.75%. The market expects that this non-farm data will become an important variable affecting the Federal Reserve's September policy expectations and the short-term trend of U.S. stocks.Recent statements from Federal Reserve officials indicate that the job market is currently not the focus of policy. Federal Reserve Governor Barr stated earlier this week that the employment situation is "stable," while Governor Waller said on Thursday that the employment condition is "satisfactory." This assessment does not imply that the job market is performing strongly, but it suggests that in the absence of further easing in inflation, the Federal Reserve may consider raising interest rates while trying to avoid impacting employment.

The two parties also reached an understanding on modernizing the legal, regulatory, and supervisory framework for digital assets, as well as strengthening governance and risk management arrangements for public sector cryptocurrency holdings.

The venture capital firm a16z crypto published an article stating that blockchain throughput has increased more than 100 times in five years, with some production systems now capable of processing tens of thousands of transactions per second. The article indicates that throughput alone cannot explain when transactions will settle; financial markets require predictability, including guarantees or censorship resistance, as well as ordering guarantees, to ensure transactions settle on time and operate under rules that participants can understand in advance.The article claims that resilience means no single operator controls access. a16z researchers introduced the concept of Strong Chain Quality, reserving block space to allow effective transactions to enter through multiple routes. Ordering rules must be clear, such as priority fees or venue rules, to avoid MEV and achieve fair price time priority. Additionally, privacy must be achieved through cryptography before execution, hiding intent until it is included in the final transaction, allowing the market to be auditable without real-time previews of unexecuted orders.
