1. Market Environment

The U.S. dollar index continued its decline to around 100.6 as Federal Reserve Chair Powell expressed favorable comments about a potential rate cut in September during the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium on Friday. BTC rose, surpassing the $64,000 mark, before experiencing fluctuations over the weekend. Spot BTC ETFs have seen net inflows for seven consecutive days.

Telegram founder and CEO Durov was arrested at a French airport by France's National Anti-Fraud Office, leading to a significant drop in TON's price, followed by a rebound. The DOGS community, along with figures like Elon Musk, voiced support for the Telegram founder, while the founders of DWF and Zhu Su announced they had bought TON tokens to show their support. The TON token's logo has been updated to "Resistance Dog" on platforms such as X, CoinGecko, and select pages on Binance.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – BTC Inscription Sector

Primary reasons:

The inscription sector has recently seen an uptick, with SATS breaking through resistance levels and mid-level inscription assets following suit;
Babylon initiated staking with high participation, quickly filling the initial 1000 BTC staking quota;
After a period of dormancy, the Bitcoin ecosystem has attracted new financing, such as the Bitcoin re-staking platform SatLayer based on Babylon securing $8 million and the Bitcoin-native stablecoin project Ducat completing a $1.25 million pre-seed funding round.

Gainers: SATS increased by 35% over the past 7 days, while MICE rose by 53% during the same period.

Factors affecting future market conditions:

The BTC ecosystem currently remains in a relatively weak narrative position. The future trajectory of BTC inscriptions will depend on whether Bitcoin inscription platforms like Unisat can release new positive developments, whether products can undergo new iterations to capture market attention, and whether Babylon's narrative gains market acceptance.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next: Tokens like APT and SUI Set to Unlock Large Amount of Tokens

Primary reasons:

On September 3 and September 12, SUI and APT will unlock 3.24% and 2.35% of their circulating supply, valued at $82 million and $81 million, respectively, at current market prices. APT has previously seen significant price movements before and after large unlockings, but the outcome could differ greatly depending on current market conditions and sentiment. These events merit close attention for trading opportunities near the unlock dates.

Specific tokens: APT and SUI.
