The crypto market rebounded noticeably over the past week, with a multi-pronged convergence from macro liquidity, AI technology themes, and hot sector catalysts.

**Macro and Liquidity**: The U.S. Treasury’s adjustment to its buyback mechanism signaled improved liquidity. Long-term bond yields have fallen back from their 2019 highs. Bitcoin rebounded nearly 25% over the week, approaching $80,000, alongside a short-squeeze environment. Extending Nasdaq trading hours benefits on-chain perpetual futures: reference prices are more stable, arbitrage costs are lower, and the feasibility of RWA perpetual contracts improves. If the SEC’s proposed “crypto asset financing new rules” are implemented, ETH, SOL, and BNB Chain may benefit, with a favorable impact for small-scale financing via registration exemptions.

**AI and Technology**: 13F holdings show clear rotation. Buffett increased his stake in Google; but Bian bet on AI storage chips. Druckenmiller shifted toward cloud platforms and data centers. The main thesis remains unchanged, but capital is pricing in the “next stop winner.” Wood maintains a long-term BTC target of $1.5 million but warns that a surge in HBM prices is a negative signal. Nvidia denies reports that it will ship LPU to China before year-end. OpenAI’s acquisition of the InstantDB team strengthens AI agent capabilities. Honor’s robot sprinted 100 meters in 9.32 seconds, accelerating embodied intelligence.

**Sectors**: $ZEC surged 48% in two days, breaking above $800. The ratio of trading silenced time reached 90%. Grayscale’s Zcash Trust converting to a spot ETF gained new momentum, reinforced by the narrative of “financial privacy in the AI era.” X plans to pay creators using stablecoins. On-chain ETH whales are splitting: the “steel-head bull” holding 120,000 ETH closed 40,000 ETH at $2,513 for nearly $10 million in profit, then added to its position—bringing total floating profit to 5.9万 ETH worth $8.73 million. Another whale that built a position worth $9.35 million is reportedly cashing out for roughly $1.68 million profit. Gate listed Bitway (BTW) and launched a HODLer Airdrop.

**Risks**: HumidiFi reported an internal security incident, paused trading, and said it was awaiting review, adding that customer assets were not affected. Hackers reportedly used the GTA 6 data leak event to lift distribution via about 20 fake accounts within three days, reminding investors to stay alert to meme and hot-token manipulation.

**Opportunity Commentary**: The ZEC catalyst is clear, but chasing after a 48% jump carries risk-reward that is generally worse—it's better to wait for a pullback and stabilization. If BTC forms the “legendary reversal” pattern seen in 2019 (up 32% on the weekly chart) and 2023 (up 25%), upside potential could exceed expectations. Wood’s target price is a long-term framework; near-term catalysts (e.g., the U.S. government buying) have not materialized, so it’s not suitable to overweight. RWA and perpetual contracts are suitable for building positions in batches. The regulatory “beneficiary” logic is real, but implementation takes time. Safety incidents again suggest monitoring on-chain data is better than chasing news flow.
