Most tokens continued their strong upward momentum, with market sentiment running high and trading activity notably increasing.

Gate Research Daily Report: Bitcoin is at a critical juncture, having formed a short-term bottom, but buying momentum remains weak. Ethereum is trading in a narrow range, with its trend still unclear. YB has officially entered circulation and launched on platforms including Gate, boosting trading activity, with a 24-hour increase of 22.41%. SOPH rose 14.81% over the past 24 hours, with recent volatility possibly related to major capital positioning. NIL gained 8.18% in 24 hours, mainly driven by the NIL Foundation launching its testnet, which is expected to enhance network performance and attract developers. FalconX plans to acquire 21Shares to expand its presence in crypto financial products. Bitcoin’s MVRV has fallen below the 365-day moving average, potentially signaling a market bottom.

On October 22, the crypto market experienced a volatile pullback, with major tokens under pressure. BTC fell 0.88%, consolidating near key support levels, while ETH dropped 1.63%, showing continued weakness. AI-related tokens moved against the trend — BLUAI surged 295%, driven by its listing on Gate and the “AI × Sui” narrative; COAI rose 39%, focusing on the AI Agent ecosystem; and LIGHT gained 26%, boosted by its whitepaper release and growing interest in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Meanwhile, overall market structure showed signs of stabilization. Bitcoin’s open interest declined 30% over the week, easing leverage risks, while Gate Perp DEX surpassed $1 billion in cumulative trading volume, leveraging the Gate Layer network and high-performance matching engine to emerge as a key growth driver in decentralized derivatives.

Gate Research Daily Report: On October 20, BTC is trading above the MA30, indicating that short-term bullish momentum remains, though it faces noticeable resistance above; ETH’s short-term MA5 has crossed below MA10, signaling a short-term bearish bias; GT rebounded significantly after hitting a low around 15.15 following a prior decline. Additionally, tokens such as MLN (+59.7%), AUCTION (+42.63%), and TRU (+27.85%) saw strong rebounds, with capital rapidly flowing back into the DeFi sector, keeping market hotspots active. Gate Layer’s on-chain addresses surpassed 100 million; Solana’s TVL reached a three-year high of 59.28 million SOL; and Aave V4 will support a diversified range of collateral assets, further expanding the financing scope in DeFi.

Strategy pioneered the DAT model, and by 2025, Ethereum DATs have sparked a new wave of staking activity. The core logic of the DAT model is a “finance–buy–refinance” cycle, forming a self-reinforcing flywheel. The attractiveness and risk profile of a DAT in capital markets are jointly determined by per-share token holdings, underlying asset prices, and mNAV. The Ethereum DAT model has evolved from merely being a token holder to becoming a network participant and yield generator. Based on the DAT Sustainability Five-Force Model, the conclusion is that only DATs with robust capital structures, transparent financial disclosure, and clear strategic positioning can truly survive market cycles.

On October 17, the crypto market came under pressure, with major assets broadly declining. BTC fell 1.87%, while ETH dropped 1.70%, both maintaining weak, range-bound structures.
