Total stablecoin market cap posted its largest monthly drawdown since the Terra collapse in June, though its long-term growth logic remains unchanged.

Analyst Darkfost points out that Bitcoin trading below the Short-Term Holder (STH) cost base is a hallmark of every bear market cycle. BTC has remained below this level for over nine months. The STH cost base currently stands at $70,700 and has consistently acted as a resistance level. In May, Bitcoin attempted to test the nearby level of roughly $82,000, only to pull back immediately. Since then, the STH cost base has dropped significantly, signaling that some investors have accumulated positions at lower prices, lowering their average holding cost. However, the price has yet to effectively hold above this key level. The analysis notes that a sustained recovery above the STH cost base will mark the first positive signal. Bitcoin is currently trading in a range of $59,000 to $64,000, a notable distance from the $70,700 resistance level. If BTC can later break through and hold above this level effectively, it will mean the entire short-term holder cohort has exited unrealized losses, and market sentiment could shift from bearish defense to structural recovery. Conversely, if resistance persists, the STH cost base will continue to decline, potentially extending the bear market bottoming cycle.

In an interview, Donald Trump commented on the Iran issue, saying: "They agreed to reach a deal yesterday. It’s a perfect deal for us—no nuclear weapons, they gave up all their conditions. But after that, they left the room, and less than an hour later, they launched a drone attack on a ship."

Solana officials responded to BlockBeats today regarding the "project teams jumping to Robinhood" phenomenon, noting that most of the project "announcements" in question were jokes. The incident originated when prediction market platform world recently "announced it would migrate to Robinhood Chain". Verification confirmed the tweet was actually a prank from the project team. Riding on recent market hype, the post garnered massive traffic upon release, sparking widespread community discussion, prompting projects including pump.fun and GMTrade to follow suit. However, none of the aforementioned project teams have any actual migration plans. Projects like GMTrade have even expressed their "loyalty" to Solana in tweet replies: "One day Solana, forever Solana". Notably, despite facing competition from newcomer Robinhood Chain, Solana retains an absolute lead across most metrics: its 24-hour DEX trading volume hit $1.133 billion, while weekly volume reached $13.428 billion, both ranking first globally.
