Analysts: Weaker in the U.S. dollar could help Bitcoin rise again

LMAX Group strategist Joel Kruger said in a note that the weaker dollar, coupled with the increased willingness of investors to take risks, may help boost Bitcoin again. Bitcoin fell 1.7% due to trade uncertainty and concerns about tensions in the Middle East. The dollar index fell to a three-year low of 97.789. “The weakness of the dollar is often favorable to cryptocurrencies, and potential rebounds in Bitcoin and Ethereum will be supported as investors move back to riskier assets.” (Jin Shi)

Yi Lihua: BlackRock bets on Ethereum RWA, ETH rises become a safety requirement

LD Capital founder Yi Lihua posted on the X platform, "Another reason for ETH's bullishness, BlackRock issued a tokenized money market fund, which used its custodial bonds and repurchase agreements as its underlying assets. The current scale of the fund is about US$2.9 billion, of which 2.68 billion are deployed on Ethereum, accounting for more than 92%. BlackRock's stock custody short-term bonds and similar assets are about 1 trillion, and the market penetration rate of this fund is less than 1,000. However, the current attack cost on Ethereum is still too low. As a POS chain, Ethereum's pledge in June was 34.65 million. 30% of the supply in circulation, that is, the total circulation is 11,550, and the attacker needs to control 34% of the pledge equity, that is, about 10% of the market value of Ethereum circulation, which means that the attack cost is only 31.5 billion. Now BlackRock's RWA stock scale on Ethereum has 2.68 billion. The RWA scale has increased, and Ethereum must also rise, otherwise the market value space for on-chain issuance assets cannot be opened. BlackRock's issuance of Ethereum ETFs and continuously increase its holdings is to push up the price of Ethereum and prompt Ethereum staking ETFs to increase the control ratio in the pledged treasury to improve the security of its deployment of RWA assets on Ethereum." Earlier on May 27, Trend Research, a subsidiary of Yilihua, said that since ETH built a position of US$1,400 and published a research report at US$1,800, he is still firmly optimistic about the prospects of ETH and its blue-chip ecological assets. Yi Lihua said, "We have always been bullish and increasing our positions to maintain consistency in our words and deeds."

Matrixport: Leverage is the main driving force for current Ethereum price trends

Matrixport released a daily icon analysis saying that Ethereum's funding rates have soared to 13.7% -- the highest level since February, which usually attracts inflows from Ethereum ETFs, which are often seen as a positive signal. However, the more important signal is that the volume of futures open contracts is approaching its December 2024 peak, indicating that leveraged futures traders, rather than spot buyers, are the main drivers of current price movements. This is in sharp contrast to Bitcoin, where spot demand remains the main driving force. The factor exacerbating this situation is the surge in call option buying, and the resulting Gamma hedging is introducing significant gap risk to the ETH price trend. The market is becoming increasingly fragile and extremely sensitive to further momentum changes.
