According to the latest cryptocurrency weekly report released by Gate Ventures, the market overall faced pressure and retracement in the past week, with BTC and ETH dropping by 6.8% and 5.8% respectively, and the Fear and Greed Index falling to 8, entering the "extreme fear" zone.

Despite the weak price performance, the funding situation remains resilient, with BTC and ETH spot ETFs recording net inflows of approximately $767 million and $161 million respectively, indicating that institutional funds are still actively positioning. Overall, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has declined by about 5.5%, with the market in a phase of emotional recovery and structural differentiation.

On the macro level, the Fed maintained interest rates, and the situation in the Middle East has driven up energy prices, increasing market concerns about stagflation risks. Meanwhile, the integration of traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market continues to deepen, with Morgan Stanley and Grayscale respectively advancing Bitcoin and Hyperliquid ETF-related layouts. Exchanges are also relaxing restrictions on related derivatives trading, further broadening institutional participation pathways. In addition, the trend of institutionalization in the prediction market sector is accelerating, with Kalshi completing over $1 billion in financing, reaching a valuation of $22 billion.

In terms of investment and financing, a total of 11 transactions were completed last week, with a disclosed total financing amount of $1.18 billion, of which the infrastructure sector accounted for 64%, being the main flow of funds. Overall, against the backdrop of increased market volatility, funds continue to flow into core infrastructure and emerging narrative sectors, maintaining robust momentum for long-term industry development.
