According to CryptoSlate, Solana increased the block computation unit limit from 60 million to 100 million on July 29, a 66.7% increase. This adjustment provides more parallel processing space for unrelated transactions, reducing the block occupancy rate of a single popular account from the original 20% to 12%.However, the computation limit for writing to the same account in each block remains at 12 million CU, and the incremental data limit for accounts is still 100 MB, which means the congestion bottleneck for popular accounts has not been fundamentally resolved. If a large number of transactions need to be written to the same popular account (such as a high-volume DEX or liquidation contract), they are still subject to this limit. The officials did not provide actual comparative data on transaction confirmation rates, fees, block propagation, or replay before and after the upgrade.

Well-known trader CryptoD stated on social media, "Recently looking back at community messages, I found that the entire Meme ecosystem has become very fragmented. The Chinese and foreign markets are gradually forming different ecosystems, leading to ineffective concentration of funds. Additionally, the market has been in a bear phase for a long time, with no significant increase in funds, but rather more chains emerging and liquidity becoming more dispersed.However, I also believe that the overall crypto market is gradually approaching the bottom, and Q3 and Q4 are likely to be the last period to calmly position before the next bull market."Previous reports indicated that CryptoD earned over 10 million dollars by trading the Meme coin TRUMP.

Well-known trader Killa posted that when BTC enters a new monthly cycle, the market has formed a strong bearish narrative, so the probability of a bullish reaction at the beginning of this month is relatively high.He pointed out that based on previous trends, when BTC enters a new phase amid obvious bearish sentiment, there is usually a reverse fluctuation. This pattern may only fail when a significant trend is about to change, such as in November last year and in February and June this year.Killa believes that BTC is currently still in a range-bound fluctuation and is close to the bear market low, so there are two possibilities: one is that the price finally drops below $57,000; the other is that it begins to rebound upwards this month and continues to maintain range-bound movement. Even if BTC is expected to decline afterward, a 2% to 4% increase at the beginning of this month is more in line with the current market structure.

According to Tencent News "Frontline," a 26-year-old male employee of Hong Kong Central Wealth Management Services Limited misappropriated 50 million Hong Kong dollars as margin without authorization, using it to finance the purchase of a double long position in the Southern Eastern Ying Hynix ETF (07709.HK), resulting in a paper loss of up to 150 million Hong Kong dollars. The trader was arrested by the police on July 20 on suspicion of "theft," with the incident occurring from January 9 to July 20.Financial analysts in Hong Kong stated that the reason the 50 million principal turned into a 150 million loss was due to the combination of margin financing and the double leverage of the long ETF. This ETF surged to a historical high of 193.65 Hong Kong dollars at the end of June, driven by the storage chip concept, but then the semiconductor sector sharply corrected, falling to 52.58 Hong Kong dollars by July 20, a decline of over 72%. The police revealed that the relevant positions had not yet been forcibly liquidated, and the final loss would still fluctuate with the stock price. The incident was discovered during a recent audit of the company, which reported it to the police. Central Wealth Management is not a licensed company by the Securities and Futures Commission, and Central Wealth Securities stated that the involved personnel are not their employees and are unrelated to the incident, but after the event, some clients exhibited risk-averse withdrawals.

Crypto KOL Phyrex posted on platform X, stating, "BitMart and BitMex did not close due to a collapse; it is very different from the sacrifice of FTX. These two primarily faced business issues."According to him, in 2023, BitMart had approached his associates about an acquisition, and they had done a lot of data analysis at the time, but it ultimately came to nothing. In fact, part of the decline of many third-tier exchanges is due to the impact from Binance Alpha.Small exchanges are essentially the stronghold of various altcoins, pump coins, Ponzi coins, and community coins, but the emergence of Alpha has provided better sources for these coins, which has also led to a significant reduction in listing fees for third-tier exchanges and a decrease in profits from joint market-making.Another reason is the signal teachers. In fact, the total number of signal teachers is not very large, but they have waves of associates. These teachers generally move between various exchanges, and once a new exchange offers better profits, these teachers quickly lead their followers to switch. The recent well-known cases of exchanges running away generally follow this pattern.

Renowned trader Killa stated that during the last Bitcoin bull market, about 80% of the cycle top indicators were never triggered, and similar situations may occur with future bottom indicators, so one should not mechanically rely on historical signals to determine market bottoms. He pointed out that the supply of long-term holders currently in a loss state has exceeded the levels during the FTX collapse and is approaching the levels seen during the 2018 bear market.Bitcoin's realized price is currently around $50,000, and in past cycles, the price has tested the realized price of long-term holders, so there is still a possibility of returning to that area. However, Killa indicated that it should not be assumed that Bitcoin will necessarily fall back to this level. Many top indicators in the last cycle failed to trigger, and some bottom indicators may also fail in the future. In any case, the current level of market losses is similar to that during the FTX incident and the 2018 bear market.

In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688 and switched to long during the market-wide decline on June 5.

According to the latest episode of the Gatecast podcast, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han shared his thoughts on the future of AI, Web3, and the cryptocurrency industry in an interview themed "The Future of AI, Web3, and the Cryptocurrency Industry."Dr. Han stated that the way users will interact with cryptocurrency products will undergo profound changes due to AI in the future. Currently, the cryptocurrency market has millions of assets and tens of thousands of DApps, and the high cost of choice and usage barriers limit user entry. However, AI is expected to become an important gateway connecting users with the Web3 ecosystem. When discussing the combination of AI and trading, Dr. Han mentioned that AI can help users efficiently acquire information, analyze market signals, and assist in decision-making, but it still cannot completely replace human judgment. "AI + human intelligence" will become a more effective approach in the future.Dr. Han also pointed out that Gate is continuously utilizing AI to optimize product experiences, reducing users' learning costs through intelligent tools, and encouraging more users to enter the Web3 world. Currently, Gate is building an AI product system around the Intelligent Web3 strategy, which includes Gate AI, GateClaw, and Gate for AI Agent, accelerating the integration of AI technology into the trading ecosystem. In the future, Gate will further lower the barriers to using Web3 through intelligent products and services, enhance user experience, and drive more users into an open and intelligent Web3 world.

Famous trader Killa posted that Bitcoin's historical bear markets typically complete a 5-wave adjustment and form two significant peaks. The first peak often occurs after the initial major rebound following the top, known as the "complacency peak," where the market generally believes that the bull market has returned. Subsequently, prices usually continue to decline to new lows. He pointed out that similar structures appeared in the cycles of 2014, 2022, and 2026.After the complacency peak is formed, the market typically experiences a "dead cat bounce" and establishes a phase bottom; as market sentiment deteriorates and short positions concentrate, a short squeeze then drives the price rebound, with the final bottom usually forming after the second significant retest.Killa believes that BTC has currently swept through the bottom formed by the "dead cat bounce" and completed a 5-wave adjustment structure similar to previous cycles. From a structural perspective, the adjustment wave has ended, and the bottom may have already formed. However, he remains cautious about the time cycle. Previous bear markets typically lasted about 365 days before forming the final bottom, while this round, if the bottom has already appeared, has only lasted about 260 days, which is about 100 days earlier than the historical cycle. Currently, he maintains a 50-50 judgment, but compared to significantly making new lows, the likelihood of forming higher lows subsequently is greater.
