1. Market environment
Yesterday, Coinbase shares fell nearly 8% to $202.49 after the Financial Times reported that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) may soon offer spot Bitcoin trading due to strong customer interest. At the same time, the ETH/BTC exchange rate continued to decline yesterday, now at 0.045028, a three-year low. Compared with BTC, ETH is relatively undervalued and has a large room for future growth.
In the crypto market, according to Farside data, yesterday (May 16), the US Bitcoin ETF had a net inflow of $163 million. Among them, FBTC had the largest inflow, with an inflow of $67 million. The cryptocurrency panic and greed index reached 74 (70 yesterday), indicating that market sentiment continued to rebound.
2. Wealth-making sector
1) Sector changes: new generation of popular MEME (MICHI, MINI, MANEKI)
The main reason is that the new generation of popular meme coins that emerged in the recent Meme Season rebounded from oversold prices amid market upheavals. During the market crash, whale wallets and smart money bought the bottom and rose strongly during the rebound. After MANEKI issued airdrops to solana saga phone holders, the price continued to rise.
Increase: In the past 24 hours, MICHI increased by 21.78%, MINI increased by 56.64%, and MANEKI increased by 27.62%.
Factors affecting the market outlook:
The new generation of popular MEMEs are all characterized by strong market control and high market attention. MANEKI and MICHI have had whales absorb enough chips during several sharp price fluctuations; many of the new generation of popular MEMEs have strong market makers who have sufficient motivation to pull up these assets that have already gained huge attention in the market. The markets enthusiasm for the entire Meme track and the timing of the market makers pulling up will be the most critical factors for making profits on this track.
2) The sectors that need to be focused on in the future: New public chain sector
Main reason: SEI announced that it will launch the v2 upgrade plan in three phases, aiming to launch the first highly scalable parallelized EVM. According to the official blog of SEI, the upgrade will be divided into three phases: governance, alpha release and v2 readiness. High-performance public chains have attracted market attention, with obvious buying and rising prices. Today, SEI rose 3.72% and SUI rose 5.9%.
Specific project list:
SUI: Sui is a permissionless, PoS-based layer 1 blockchain designed to provide instant settlement and high throughput. Sui is horizontally scalable and can support the development of a large number of applications at ultra-fast speeds and ultra-low costs. Sui has been unlocked on May 3, and there is no obvious negative news in the near future.
SEI: Sei is a first-layer blockchain optimized for digital asset transactions and is a fully open-source general-purpose blockchain. SEI announced that it will launch a v2 upgrade plan in three phases, aiming to launch the first highly scalable parallelized EVM.
3) Sectors that need to be focused on in the future: AI sector
Main reason: Recently, AI-related positive news from major technology companies has frequently emerged, driving the entire US stock AI track and encrypted AI sector, which is worth paying attention to:
OpenAI launched its flagship AI model GPT-4o, which can perform audio, visual and text reasoning in real time. In February, OpenAI launched the text video model Sora, which led to an increase in the valuation of the entire sector. The launch of GPT-4o allows us to keep an eye on the AI sector.
Tech giant Microsoft is taking a closer look at the crypto industry, including the ways that blockchain technology and artificial intelligence could one day support each other, Cointelgraph reported.
Specific currency list:
TAO: Bittensor is an open source protocol that powers a blockchain-based machine learning network. Machine learning models are trained collaboratively and are rewarded in TAO based on the value of the information they provide to the collective.
NEAR: Recently, many AI projects in the NEAR ecosystem are in the building/funding stage, and NEAR is expected to become the AI hub of the future.
3. User Hot Searches
1) Popular Dapps
Supra:
Supra aims to provide a comprehensive cross-chain oracle for the developer community. In September 2023, oracle and VRF service provider Supra announced that it had completed over $24 million in financing, with Animoca Brands among the investors in this round. Yesterday, Supra integrated ApeChain and became the first provider to deploy oracle price feeds and verifiable randomness (dVRF) protocols on Arbitrum L3. Supras innovative L1-based oracle and dVRF services will provide real-time data and fair randomness support for GameFi, DeFi and other decentralized applications on ApeChain, improving their performance and trust.

2) Twitter
Humanity Protocol:
Palm scanning ID project Humanity Protocol announced that it has completed a new round of financing of US$30 million at a valuation of US$1 billion, led by Kingsway Capital, with participation from Animoca Brands, Blockchain.com and Shima Capital. Terence Kwok, founder of Humanity Protocol, said the company has also raised about US$1.5 million from influential crypto figures. Kwok said the startup plans to launch its test network in the second quarter, and the waiting list is currently about 500,000 people. When launching its technology, it plans to first release an application that can scan peoples palm prints using their mobile phone cameras to determine their identities. The project also plans to release an unnamed crypto token that can be used to pay verification fees. The two recent rounds of financing have been conducted through simple agreements for future tokens (known as SAFT in the industry).
3) Google Search Region
From a global perspective:
Fantom (FTM): Fantom recently completed the upgrade of Sonic, with a good overall increase and high community popularity. It has risen by 11.8% so far. Fantom Opera includes a new client, validator, virtual machine (FVM), Carmen database and optimized Lachesis consensus mechanism, which will greatly improve the execution efficiency of the original Fantom. Its selling point is also very obvious, that is, it is faster and more powerful than all current EVMs. If the performance is really as advertised, the narrative of parallel EVM may be hit to a certain extent, and Fantom, as a competitor, can gain greater valuation space.
From the hot searches in each region:
(1) Yesterday’s hot search focus in the CIS region was NOTCOIN:
Notcoin (NOT): Notcoin is a game based on Telegram, where users can earn in-game tokens by clicking on coin images. Similar to the concept of Tap to Earn. Before the Notcoin TGE, vouchers were used to represent the Notcoin currency in the game, which could be exchanged for $NOT after the TGE. Currently, it has been listed on mainstream exchanges such as OKX, Bybit, Bitget, and Kucoin. At the same time, Notcoin has airdropped more than 80 billion NOT tokens on TON.
(2) There is a lack of hot spots in Asia, and no general pattern of hot searches has been found in each region.
(3) The attention of Europe and the United States has returned to the mainstream memes. SHIBA appeared on the hot searches in Switzerland; PEPE also appeared on the hot searches in many European and American countries.
