Gate Research: Crypto Market Cap Continues to Decline | Ethereum Staking Ratio Hits a New All-Time High

• Market Commentary: Following a sharp sell-off, the market has entered a consolidation phase. BTC and ETH remain capped by mid-term moving averages, with rebounds lacking volume confirmation. Within altcoins, capital has rotated back into high-beta segments such as AI Meme and AI Framework, but overall risk appetite has only modestly recovered and the broader tone remains defensive and de-risking.
• Key Data: Bitcoin new-investor inflows have turned negative, indicating selling pressure is not being absorbed by fresh capital. Ethereum’s staking ratio has surpassed 30%, reaching a new all-time high—strengthening its yield-asset narrative while also implying tighter trading liquidity that warrants ongoing monitoring.
• This Week’s Focus: The convergence of stablecoin infrastructure and interest-rate exposure is accelerating. Zerohash is advancing L1 stablecoin payment rails, while Tether continues to expand its U.S. Treasury holdings, positioning stablecoins as a bridge between on-chain liquidity and short-term rates. Meanwhile, ETF flows remain net negative, reflecting cautious institutional positioning.
• Next Week to Watch: Total crypto market capitalization continues to trend lower, with no clear signs of sustained capital inflows yet. Over the next seven days, sizable token unlocks (including YZY, CONX, and ARB) could introduce supply pressure, making unlock pacing and market absorption key variables for sentiment and price action.
