The 24-hour trading volume on Solana's DEXs frequently surpasses that of Ethereum, and the SOL/ETH exchange rate has steadily risen. Coinbase's recent Q3 earnings report revealed that SOL now accounts for 11% of its trading revenue, highlighting users' strong interest in trading SOL. During this market cycle, it can be advantageous to hold SOL positions. Additionally, holding SOL-based LSTs allows you to earn annualized returns that are denominated in SOL. Bitget has partnered with Solayer, Orca, Save, and Kamino to launch BGSOL, and will work to expand BGSOL's applications. With the support from Bitget, BGSOL currently offers the highest APR among SOL-based LSTs.

VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsRecently, as market liquidity recovers, the crypto market—led by key assets like BTC and ETH—has started to rebound. Leading DeFi assets have continued to update their products amid six months of market volatility, maintaining their market dominance and leading positions. With the upcoming U.S. presidential election, both candidates are likely to propose favorable policies regarding DeFi and Web3 applications, potentially bolstering the sector. As a result, leading DeFi assets are expected to benefit from an early boost in liquidity recovery and may outperform the broader market in the coming months.

VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsAs the Federal Reserve begins its interest rate cut cycle, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a broad recovery. Alongside mainstream assets like BTC and ETH, the AI sector has also rebounded rapidly. The convergence of AI and crypto has emerged as a compelling narrative in this market cycle, attracting numerous tech teams and venture capital firms. Leading projects in the space have shown significant growth. Recommended projects to watch closely include Bittensor (TAO), Near Protocol (NEAR), and Arkham (ARKM).
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsLiquid staking emerged after Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake mechanism. Its primary goal is to enhance asset utility by allowing users to earn staking rewards while maintaining the liquidity of their staked positions. Currently, mainstream liquid staking protocols allow users to stake their assets in exchange for liquid staking tokens (LSTs). For instance, by staking ETH on platforms such as Lido, users receive stETH tokens. This approach is commonly referred to as "liquid staking derivatives" (LSDs). Since Binance hinted at collaborating with Sanctum to launch the Solana liquid staking token BNSOL, Sanctum's governance token CLOUD has gained significant attention, rising despite unfavorable market trends. On September 5, Bybit announced its partnership with Solayer to launch bbSOL. Additionally, major exchanges have unveiled plans to introduce Solana LST tokens. EigenLayer also began its second season of airdrop claims this week, with its governance token EIGEN potentially circulating by the end of September. The LSD and restaking sectors are gaining quiet momentum, potentially setting the stage for a new wave of hype around restaking within the SOL ecosystem.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsUS initial claims for unemployment insurance and the unemployment rate are being released this week, key factors influencing the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate cuts in September. The market has been sluggish recently, with noticeable risk-averse sentiment. Bearish sentiment among community users and the arrest of Telecom's CEO, a black swan event, have further dampened the mood, resulting in average performance for blue-chip coins and altcoins. The market tends to fluctuate significantly when macroeconomic data is about to be released. It is reasonable to reduce leverage, maintain reasonable position sizes, and preserve funds to buy the dip. We will introduce upcoming token launches on Bitget, on-chain earning opportunities with USDT/USDC and SOL, and speculative targets in the Solana Liquid Staking (LSD) sector.
- 00:40The whale, who previously achieved 14 consecutive wins with large positions, is now facing an unrealized loss of $20 million in principal.According to Jinse Finance, on-chain analyst Yu Jin has monitored that the whale who previously achieved 14 consecutive winning large positions has now broken his winning streak: not only has he given back the $15.83 million earned from 14 consecutive winning trades over the past 20 days, but he is also currently facing an unrealized loss of $20 million on his principal. Moreover, his current positions are only 8 percentage points away from liquidation. Eight hours ago, he closed out BTC, ETH, and SOL long positions worth $258 million at a loss, realizing a loss of $15.65 million. This figure is almost identical to the $15.83 million profit he made from 14 consecutive winning trades over the previous 20 days, meaning that this forced closure has wiped out all his previous profits. He still holds ETH, SOL, and HYPE long positions worth $148 million, with an unrealized loss of $18.86 million, which is a direct loss on his principal. The remaining positions do not seem particularly safe either; if prices drop another 8%, they will reach his liquidation price: ETH’s liquidation price is at $3,196, and SOL’s liquidation price is at $143.5.
