Gate Ventures: Market Sentiment Cautious, Institutional-Grade On-Chain Infrastructure Shines in the Market

According to Gate Ventures' latest crypto weekly report, the crypto market maintained a volatile pattern last week, with mainstream assets performing flat. BTC and ETH saw slight declines of 0.69% and 0.8% respectively, with overall market sentiment remaining cautious. ETF funds continued to see net outflows, with BTC ETF seeing outflows of approximately $681 million and ETH ETF outflows of approximately $68.6 million; the fear and greed index remained at 27, indicating a weak market risk appetite. The overall crypto market cap remained stable, with mid and small-cap tokens under pressure. Of note, with the launch of new features related to asset prices on social platforms, on-chain Meme activity has heated up, leading to significant fluctuations in some tokens; the Top 30 assets saw limited changes, with privacy and certain high-performance public chain assets recording relatively prominent gains.

At the industry level, progress continues in institutional and infrastructure-related developments. There have been structural changes in the Ethereum staking ecosystem, with a noticeable easing of validator exit pressure and high levels of staking participation. Meanwhile, traditional financial institutions are advancing on-chain deposit and settlement solutions, highlighting the increasing adoption of blockchain infrastructure in institutional-level applications. In terms of investment and financing, a total of 9 transactions were disclosed last week, with a cumulative disclosed financing amount of approximately $275 million, mainly flowing into infrastructure, stablecoin payments, and Bitcoin-related basic protocol areas, demonstrating continued capital interest in underlying and application-based infrastructure.
