ChainCatcher News, the latest market report from Gate Research Institute indicates that over the past two weeks, due to rising geopolitical tensions and tariff uncertainties, global risk appetite has declined, putting pressure on the overall crypto market and maintaining a defensive oscillation. BTC’s rebound has been hindered and weakened, ETH is even more fragile, and funds are flowing back into main chain assets while high leverage network funds are flowing out, with mainstream assets yet to form a trend recovery. The market capitalization structure has become more stratified, with the top 400 tokens experiencing slight pullbacks, while the 401–500 small-cap segment defies the trend and strengthens, as funds shift to highly elastic assets for short-term speculation; on-chain gold-like assets have strengthened, reflecting a demand for safe-haven assets, while some high Beta themes from earlier stages have shown significant retracement. In terms of volume and price, only a few tokens are experiencing volume resonance, most remain low-volume and weak, and the market is in a transitional phase of “mainstream defense, small-cap rotation, and volume-price divergence.”
Against the backdrop of increased market volatility, investors’ demand for risk hedging and cross-market allocation has also strengthened. Gate continues to expand its TradFi footprint, covering a variety of contract sectors including stocks, commodities, indices, forex, and metals, leading the industry in product categories. Recently, trading activity in platform volatility indices has increased, with both BTC and ETH volatility indices showing rising price and volume, indicating heightened short-term volatility expectations. Gate is bridging traditional finance and the crypto market to offer a more comprehensive multi-asset hedging and strategy toolkit.
