【Daily Crypto Market Highlights】October 8: 💥💥💥Market trends
BTC fell, and altcoins broadly declined. U.S. stocks pulled back from record highs.
💥💥💥💥💥Market highlights:
1. MET, a DEX token in the Solana ecosystem, rose about 38% against the trend. Meteora’s expected launch of DLMM Pro helped push the protocol’s DEX trading volume to $187 million, while active addresses reached a weekly high. MET’s funding rate was around -0.073%, indicating a notable short squeeze during the rally.
2. SAND, a metaverse-related token, rose about 13%, extending gains driven by speculation after a South Korean exchange lifted its risk warning. SAND’s funding rate was around -0.035%, as short sellers remained under pressure. MANA, however, rose only slightly, with limited spillover across the sector.
3. RAY, a Solana-based DEX token, rose about 10%, while JUP gained about 3.5%. With SOL itself down about 3.6%, funds rotated against the trend into lower-market-cap DEX tokens, showing clear signs of short-term speculation.
4. The L2 sector led the declines, with OP and ARB each falling about 6%. Abstract became the second Ethereum L2 to suspend operations within a week, further hurting sentiment across the sector.
5. A U.S. government address transferred out about $670 million in crypto assets over nearly 32 hours. The transfers involved about 6,215.7 BTC, 119 million USDT, and 40,285 BNB. Monitoring reports say the BTC and USDT were sent to Coinbase Prime; an on-chain transfer does not mean an official sale has been confirmed.
6. The Federal Reserve meeting minutes struck a hawkish tone. Most members expected that another rate hike could occur this year, but saw no clear urgency to raise rates in October. Interest rate expectations remain a key macro variable for risk assets.
