JP Morgan Chase: Capital inflows into cryptocurrencies have reached $60 billion so far this year
According to The Block reported that JPMorgan analysts estimated that the inflow of funds in the digital asset sector has reached $60 billion this year, driven by the flow of crypto funds, CME futures trading activities and venture capital financing. Since the end of May, the inflow of funds has increased by nearly 50% and is expected to easily surpass the historical record set last year. Analysts pointed out that the US "GENIUS Act" provides a regulatory framework for stablecoins, while the "CLARITY Act" promotes the classification of digital assets. The improved policy environment is attracting more institutional participation. The report added that Ethereum has become the focus of institutional allocation due to its dominant position in DeFi and smart contracts, and the altcoin ETF with pledge function has also received more attention from asset management companies. Fund flows show that digital assets and hedge funds have performed strongly, in contrast to private equity and credit markets. In addition, since most stablecoins are denominated in US dollars, other countries are stepping up their competition.
Matrixport pointed out in its latest report that Bitcoin may maintain a consolidation trend in the summer. Despite the previous breakthrough of the key trend line and reaching a higher trading range, a technical correction has occurred after the high market sentiment, and Bitcoin has fallen 0.6% in the past week. Technical indicators show that both Bitcoin and Ethereum are overbought, and the risk of further corrections has increased. The report pointed out that as the market enters a quiet period in the summer, traders may begin to close their positions, especially Ethereum's open interest has increased significantly, and the rising cost of funds may weaken market confidence and promote further adjustments. In addition, the profit-taking behavior of early investors has exacerbated the selling pressure. Matrixport believes that it is difficult for Bitcoin to break through the key resistance level of $122,000 in the short term, and the market is expected to continue to consolidate until August. In addition, the White House postponed the release of the cryptocurrency report originally scheduled for July 22 to July 30, which may focus on stablecoin-related policies rather than Bitcoin reserve strategies.

The protocol income will be used to enhance the value that Resolv provides to users and stakers, including: supporting new integrations in the DeFi, FinTech and institutional fields; funding ecosystem grants and product development; promoting buybacks and other token alignment programs; in the future, users can track income and its use through a dedicated transparent dashboard.
