    ZEROBASE WEEKLY 9.21–9.27 ZBT firmed through the week after opening near $0.081–$0.084 on September 21. Price pushed into the $0.092–$0.095 area midweek before consolidating and closing near $0.090. Volumes expanded on the bounce, particularly on September 22–23, and liquidity remained orderly, with spreads staying usable rather than blowing out on the pullback from the local high. Crypto recovered risk appetite after the prior week’s rate hike and the Senate’s failure to advance the CLARITY Act. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization moved from about $2.8T at the start of the week toward $2.9T–$3.0T at the peak, then settled near $2.89T–$2.91T by Sunday. Bitcoin dominance hovered around 58.6%–59.3%. Bitcoin opened September 21 near $81,160–$81,180, after a Sunday close around $81,160. It surged as much as about 7% to an eight-month high near $87,350–$87,400, then faded through midweek and spent Thursday–Sunday in a $83,200–$85,250 band. The week closed near $84,460–$84,550. From the September 20 close near $81,160, that is a net gain of roughly 4%–5.5%, and a larger rebound from the mid-September dip below $76,000. Ethereum tracked the same risk impulse. ETH opened September 21 near $2,610–$2,645, printed a weekly high around $2,790–$2,805 on September 22–23, then gave back the overshoot and finished near $2,685–$2,710. That left ETH up about 3%–5% from the September 20 close near $2,613, with a larger gain from the week’s early low. Derivatives confirmed a squeeze-then-digest sequence. Short liquidations jumped as Bitcoin cleared $85,000; one session saw roughly $648 million of shorts forced out, with broader 24-hour liquidations near $1 billion at the peak. Open interest stayed elevated after the move, while funding on major pairs flipped from squeeze-positive toward more neutral as price stalled below $87,000. That is consistent with a positioning reset rather than a clean trend extension. Macro and geopolitics were the week’s real swing factors. The Fed had already raised the funds rate 25 bps on September 16 to 3.75%–4.00%, with a hawkish skew: most officials still penciled in at least one more hike in 2026. That left the 10-year Treasury around 5% and kept financial conditions tight. What changed this week was oil and diplomacy. WTI slipped from the prior Friday close near $100 to a Friday settlement around $92.41, a weekly drop of nearly 8%. Brent remained firmer and more volatile, finishing Friday near $104 after swinging through the high $90 to mid-$100s as markets priced both Hormuz supply risk and U.S.–Iran truce talk around the UN General Assembly. Falling crude helped pull yields off their highs and reopened the door for risk assets. Politics added a second bid. Markets watched a Trump–Xi meeting and weekend U.S.–China talks on trade and AI, while the CFTC signaled it would push a crypto market framework under existing authority rather than wait for Congress. The SEC’s opening for digital versions of securities also improved the regulatory tone even after CLARITY failed. Those headlines mattered more for crypto than any single U.S. data print this week. U.S. equities had a constructive week after the prior week’s mixed tape. From the September 18 close, the S&P 500 rose about 1.2% to 7,743.41 on September 25. The Nasdaq Composite gained about 2.1% to 27,068.72, and the Nasdaq 100 rose about 3.3%. The Dow was nearly flat, up about 0.3% to 51,828.62. Monday set the tone: the Nasdaq closed at a record as AMD and other AI names led, the S&P 500 jumped 1.49%, and oil and Treasury yields both eased. Tech and semiconductors absorbed the hawkish Fed better than rate-sensitive financials, utilities, and small caps. Russell 2000 finished the week slightly lower. Institutional flows were the cleanest bullish dataset. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $999 million on September 21 — the largest single day since October 6, 2025 — led by IBIT (~$381 million), ARKB (~$289 million), and FBTC (~$239 million). Follow-through remained positive: about $715 million on September 22, $347 million on September 23, $191 million on September 24, and $135 million on September 25. The week ending September 25 delivered roughly $2.4 billion of net BTC ETF inflows, enough to flip 2026 year-to-date flows back into positive territory after a large mid-year deficit. Ether ETFs also reversed, with reports of about $690 million of weekly inflows after the prior week’s outflow. That combination — falling oil, a risk-on equity tape, and persistent ETF creations — explains why crypto held the $84,000 area after failing to hold $87,000. Crypto Fear & Greed stayed in greed, not fear. Readings clustered in the low-70s to high-70s for most of the week, with some prints near 78–80 on the Monday squeeze. That is a different regime from midsummer fear. It also explains why the market digested the $87,000 rejection instead of immediately collapsing: positioning was greedy, but ETF and on-chain demand kept a bid under the market. On-chain data supported accumulation beneath the volatility. Centralized exchanges saw roughly 31,800 BTC leave venues over the week, about $2.5 billion at prevailing prices, with Binance accounting for the bulk, including one standout withdrawal day above 13,800 BTC. Net exchange flows stayed negative even as spot pulled back from $87,400 toward $84,000 — a price-flow divergence that usually argues for reduced sell-side float rather than panic distribution. Mid-sized “dolphin” wallets (100–1,000 BTC) have added more than 113,000 BTC since mid-July, while River’s Q3 read showed retail and unidentified holders flipping from first-half sellers to buyers of more than 107,000 BTC. Long-term holder supply remains tight: about 81% of BTC had not moved in at least six months. Whale tape was mixed day to day — some distribution into strength, then renewed outflows — but the multi-exchange withdrawal pattern is the more important signal. The week’s crypto news flow was broader than just BTC/ETH beta. Quant jumped after reports that The Clearing House had selected it for a U.S. bank on-chain payments initiative. Strategy added more bitcoin. Bitget’s hack aftermath stayed in the tape as stolen XRP continued to move and withdrawals were staged for a delayed reopen. In summary, September 21–27 was a squeeze, a flow event, and then a consolidation. Spot prices reclaimed eight-month highs, ETFs absorbed more than $2 billion in five sessions, and equities confirmed the same risk-on impulse once oil cracked. The constraints are still visible: policy rates are rising, the 10-year is near 5%, Middle East supply risk has not disappeared, and sentiment is already in greed. What keeps the tape constructive is the mix of ETF creations, exchange outflows, and mid-tier holder accumulation. The market is no longer pricing only the failed legislation and the September hike. It is now testing whether $84,000 can become a base after $87,000 failed as a launchpad.

    ZEROBASE WEEKLY 9.14-9.20 ZBT traded in a $0.074–$0.083 range this week. It opened near $0.080 on September 14, slipped with the broader mid-week risk-off move to a low around $0.0744–$0.0746 on September 16, then recovered with the Friday–weekend bid and closed near $0.081–$0.082. Trading volumes remained decent through the dip and liquidity conditions stayed relatively stable, with bid-ask spreads holding at reasonable levels. Crypto markets produced a two-act week: a sharp mid-week flush driven by policy and geopolitics, then a powerful late-week squeeze that reversed most of the damage. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization started the period near $2.65T–$2.69T, compressed during the Tuesday–Wednesday selloff, then expanded again as Bitcoin reclaimed $80,000, finishing closer to the $2.78T–$2.91T area by Sunday depending on the aggregator. Bitcoin opened the week near $76,800–$76,840 on September 14 (Sunday close around $76,838), pushed to an early-week high near $79,500–$79,590, then sold off hard on September 15 to a weekly low around $74,940–$75,025. It baselined in the mid-$76,000s through the Fed decision, then accelerated on September 18, printing a high near $81,390–$81,925 and closing the week around $81,160–$81,270. That was a net gain of roughly 5.5–6% from the September 13 close and more than 8% from the weekly low. Ethereum moved in parallel but with a deeper mid-week drawdown and a comparable rebound. It started around $2,477–$2,515, dipped toward $2,360–$2,372 on September 15–16, then rallied with a September 18 close near $2,608–$2,612 and finished the week around $2,630–$2,650 — a gain of approximately 6–7% from the weekly low and about 5–6% from the prior Sunday close. Derivatives metrics reflected the same sequence. Liquidations clustered around the Tuesday flush (roughly $278 million in a single 24-hour window early in the week, with longs accounting for the larger share), funding rates on major pairs reset from mildly positive toward neutral during the drawdown, then flipped back as shorts were squeezed through $80,000. Open interest rebuilt into the Friday advance rather than collapsing, which is consistent with a squeeze-and-repositioning tape rather than a structural unwind. Macro and geopolitical developments set the tone. Escalating Middle East supply risk — including disruption to a Saudi pipeline used to bypass the Strait of Hormuz — pushed crude sharply higher. Brent traded from about $105.85 on September 14 toward $109.20 on September 15 before easing to the $103–$104 area by September 20; WTI moved from about $101.50 to a mid-week peak near $106.37 and finished the weekend closer to $99.70–$100. The oil spike transmitted directly into rates: the 10-year Treasury yield briefly broke above 5.00–5.04%, its highest print since 2007 on an intraday basis and the first sustained test of 5% since late 2023. Policy delivered the second shock. On September 16 the FOMC, in a 12–0 vote under Chair Kevin Warsh, raised the federal funds target by 25 basis points to 3.75–4.00% — the first hike since 2023. The statement was terse and hawkish on inflation. The Summary of Economic Projections lifted 2026 PCE inflation to a 3.7% median, held unemployment near 4.1%, and put the year-end funds-rate median at 4.1%, implying at least one additional hike is the committee’s base case. Sixteen of 18 participants penciled in further tightening this year. Crypto-specific politics compounded the mid-week risk-off. On September 15 the Senate rejected cloture on the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act by a 49–50 vote, removing a near-term path to federal market-structure rules. That session produced the week’s largest Bitcoin ETF outflow ($450 million) and a heavy Ethereum ETF redemption day as well. U.S. equity markets finished mixed, masking a violent internal rotation. For the September 14–18 cash week the S&P 500 closed Friday at 7,650.50, essentially unchanged to down about 0.1% from the prior Friday’s 7,656.98 after an intraweek low of 7,507.77 on September 16. The Nasdaq Composite finished higher by roughly 0.7% at 26,522.55, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped about 1.7% to 51,682.64 — a third consecutive losing week for the Dow. Chip and AI-hardware names led Monday’s decline after major AI lab leaders publicly called for a slower development cadence; Coinbase jumped 11.7% on Friday as crypto beta reasserted itself. Institutional flows told the same two-act story. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in about $160 million on September 14, then lost $450 million on September 15 and another $296 million on September 16. Thursday recovered $160 million and Friday added $433 million — the largest daily creation since September 3 — leaving the complex barely positive on the week at roughly $6 million. BlackRock’s IBIT led the weekly net (+$121 million), while Fidelity’s FBTC supplied $311 million of Friday’s print. Spot Ethereum ETFs opened with +$121 million on Monday, then posted three consecutive outflow sessions (including −$224 million on Wednesday) before a $144 million Friday rebound; the week still closed at about −$141 million, snapping a four-week inflow streak. Combined U.S. spot crypto ETF products finished slightly negative on the week. Crypto Fear & Greed Index started Monday around 57 (greed), jumped to 69 on September 15 even as prices broke, collapsed to 50–51 through the Fed session, then recovered with the squeeze to 56 on Friday and 70–71 by the weekend. On-chain and positioning data were more constructive than the Tuesday tape suggested. The mid-week dump was absorbed without a breakdown of the $75,000 area on a closing basis; exchange-traded product creations flipped back positive as soon as price reclaimed $80,000; and Bitcoin dominance held in the high-50s (roughly 57–59%) even as ether outperformed on the bounce. Long-term holder distribution did not accelerate through the $75,000 test, and the Friday advance was accompanied by rising spot volume rather than purely derivative covering. Stablecoin capitalization remained near the $290–$305 billion zone, indicating dry powder was still in the system. In summary, the September 14–20 period was a classic policy-and-oil shock followed by a positioning squeeze. The CLARITY Act failure and the first Fed hike in three years, layered on $105–$109 crude and a 5% 10-year, produced the week’s low. Once those events were digested, ETF demand returned, shorts covered, and Bitcoin closed the week above $81,000 with ether back above $2,600. Higher energy prices remain an upside risk to inflation and therefore to the Warsh Fed’s rate path; the market is now trading that tension rather than a one-way risk-off regime. With ETF flows stabilizing, Fear & Greed back in greed, and on-chain holders not capitulating at the $75,000 test, the tape looks like consolidation at a higher range — still hostage to oil, yields, and the next Washington headline.

    ZEROBASE WEEKLY 9.7-9.13 ZBT came under pressure this week, trading overall in the $0.075–$0.089 range. It opened near $0.085 on September 7, slipped through mid-week with a low around $0.075–$0.076 on September 10–11, then recovered toward $0.080 by Sunday. Crypto market showed mixed resilience amid volatility triggered by geopolitical tensions, a surge in oil prices, hotter inflation data, and rising odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization moved in the $2.64T–$2.71T range, starting the week near $2.70T–$2.72T and finishing closer to $2.64T–$2.65T with modest net declines. Bitcoin opened the week near $80,350 on September 7, pulled back through the holiday-shortened session and subsequent days, hitting a mid-week low around $76,200–$76,500 amid oil spikes, higher Treasury yields, and ETF outflows, then traded in the $76,700–$77,300 zone by Sunday, closing near $76,700–$76,820. This represented a net weekly decline of roughly 4% from the open and more from recent highs. Ethereum moved with somewhat better relative resilience, starting around $2,515, dipping toward $2,430–$2,440 before settling near $2,475–$2,520 by week’s end. Derivatives metrics reflected cautious sentiment. Open interest held relatively steady, 24-hour liquidations remained moderate during volatility spikes, and funding rates on major pairs stayed near neutral to mildly negative as traders positioned ahead of the September 15–16 FOMC meeting. Macro and geopolitical developments featured notable headwinds. Escalating U.S.-Iran tensions and concerns over shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz drove a sharp rise in oil prices. WTI crude climbed from the low $90s early in the week to above $100, with highs near $104; Brent similarly moved from around $96–$104 toward $105+. This fueled risk-off sentiment, weighing on equities and crypto while pushing Treasury yields higher (the 30-year yield touched multi-year highs near 5.35%). The release of August CPI data on September 11 provided limited relief and instead reinforced hawkish expectations. Headline CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year (slightly above some 3.3% forecasts), while core CPI increased 0.3%. The print lifted the implied probability of a 25 bp rate hike at the upcoming FOMC meeting to roughly 87–90%, from already elevated levels after stronger jobs data. The federal funds target remains 3.50–3.75%. U.S. equity markets posted weekly declines overall after Labor Day (markets closed September 7). The Dow Jones fell approximately 1.9%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite declined around 1%, pressured by higher energy prices, rising yields, and inflation concerns. A Friday rebound after oil eased somewhat limited the damage; the S&P 500 closed Friday near 7,657. Institutional participation showed a split. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of roughly $463 million across September 8–11 (including a $283 million outflow on September 10), reversing earlier-month inflows. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs posted net inflows of about $197 million for the week, led by a $216 million inflow on September 11, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for the bulk. Crypto Fear & Greed Index started the week in greed territory (around 64–75) but cooled as prices declined, moving toward fear/neutral readings (reports ranging from the low 30s to low 60s by the weekend). On-chain data offered mixed but constructive longer-term signals amid the price action. Long-term holders continued to show relatively low spending and high dormant supply shares, while whale activity included notable exchange deposits on several days (net inflows to exchanges of 1,000–2,800 BTC on some sessions), highlighting both distribution pressure at current levels and ongoing accumulation by larger cohorts such as humpbacks. Exchange whale ratios remained elevated on certain days. In summary, the September 7–13 period delivered a measured pullback in spot prices, driven by geopolitical oil shocks, hotter inflation data, and shifting Fed hike odds, even as Ethereum ETF inflows and some on-chain holder behavior provided offsets. Higher energy prices from Middle East tensions are viewed as likely to keep upward pressure on inflation in the near term. With mixed ETF dynamics, cooling sentiment, and the FOMC decision next week, the market continues to consolidate within a broader risk-off environment.

    ZEROBASE WEEKLY 8.3–8.9 ZBT traded with elevated volatility this week, ranging overall in the $0.10–$0.21 zone. It opened near $0.116–$0.122 on August 3, saw a sharp mid-week spike (reaching highs around $0.19–$0.207 on August 6–7 amid higher volume), then pulled back to close near $0.104–$0.105 by August 9. Despite the swings, liquidity remained functional and volumes were solid on the upside days. The broader crypto market showed resilience and modest net gains amid ongoing geopolitical noise and supportive macro data. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization held in the $2.20T–$2.22T range, ending near $2.21T. Bitcoin opened the week near $63,460–$63,500 on August 3, dipped to a low around $62,200–$62,300 early in the period, then steadily recovered. It reached a weekly high near $65,300–$65,370 on August 7 before consolidating and closing the week in the $64,900–$65,150 zone (around $65,000–$65,140 levels by August 9). This represented a net gain of roughly 4–5% from the weekly low. Ethereum moved in parallel, starting around $1,860, dipping toward $1,830 before rebounding and settling near $1,910–$1,925 by week’s end — a gain of approximately 4–5% from the low. Derivatives metrics reflected improving but still cautious sentiment. Open interest stabilized, 24-hour liquidations stayed moderate outside of short-covering spikes mid-week, and funding rates on major pairs hovered near neutral to mildly positive as prices recovered. Macro and geopolitical developments dominated early headlines. Ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions, shipping disruptions and incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, Houthi-related threats, and related Middle East dynamics kept energy markets sensitive. Oil prices retreated sharply early in the week after signals of paused strikes and renewed diplomatic channels (including Oman/Qatar mediation efforts): WTI fell toward the low-$80s and Brent dropped from near $97 levels toward the high-$80s on August 3, later fluctuating lower amid supply and negotiation news. These moves eased some inflation and risk-off pressure. U.S. labor market data provided a clear positive catalyst later in the week. July nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly declined by 23,000 (versus expectations of solid gains), the weakest reading in some time. This tempered near-term rate-hike concerns and supported risk assets into the weekend. (July CPI data is scheduled for release on August 12.) U.S. equity markets posted strong weekly gains and multiple record closes. The S&P 500 rose approximately 3.5–3.6% for the week, finishing near 7,758 after setting new highs. The Nasdaq Composite gained roughly 5.2%, driven by technology and AI-related strength, while the Dow advanced about 3%. Soft jobs data, lower oil, and solid earnings momentum fueled the advance. Institutional participation strengthened notably. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded robust net inflows of approximately $850 million–$1.1 billion for the week (one of the strongest weeks since April), with consistent daily positives and BlackRock’s IBIT leading. Ethereum ETFs also posted meaningful positive flows (around $200–$250 million range). Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained in fear territory, fluctuating in the high-20s to low-30s (ending near 31–32). On-chain data offered constructive undercurrents. Long-term holder accumulation continued at current levels, exchange netflows showed reduced selling pressure during the rebound, and whale activity indicated building support around the $62k–$64k Bitcoin zone amid the recovery. In summary, the August 3–9 period delivered a measured upside recovery in spot crypto prices, supported by strong ETF inflows, softer U.S. jobs data, and easing energy prices after early geopolitical spikes. Equity markets hit fresh records while sentiment stayed cautious due to Middle East risks and the still-elevated Fear & Greed readings. With institutional flows turning decisively positive and on-chain trends constructive, the market continues to consolidate higher within a complex macro and geopolitical backdrop.

    ZEROBASE WEEKLY 7.13-7.19 ZBT came under pressure this week, trading overall in the $0.08–$0.11 range. Despite the notable pullback, trading volumes remained decent and liquidity conditions stayed relatively stable, with bid-ask spreads holding at reasonable levels. Crypto market showed resilience this week despite volatility triggered by geopolitical tensions and shifting macro signals. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization remained in the $2.21T–$2.23T range, with only modest fluctuations across the period. Bitcoin opened the week near $63,700 on July 13, pulled back to a mid-week low around $62,000 amid renewed inflation and oil price concerns, then rebounded to trade in the $64,500–$65,000 zone by Sunday, closing near $64,700. This represented a net gain of roughly 2–3% from the weekly low. Ethereum moved in parallel, starting around $1,800, dipping toward $1,750 before settling near $1,860–$1,870 by week’s end — a gain of approximately 5% from the low. Derivatives metrics reflected cautious but stabilizing sentiment. Open interest held relatively steady, 24-hour liquidations remained moderate during volatility spikes, and funding rates on major pairs stayed near neutral to mildly positive. Macro and geopolitical developments featured notable headwinds early in the week. Escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, including fresh military exchanges and concerns over shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, triggered a sharp spike in oil prices on July 13. WTI crude jumped 9.4% to $78.14 per barrel, while Brent rose 9.6% to $83.30 — marking some of the largest daily gains in years. This initially fueled risk-off sentiment, weighing on equities and crypto while pushing Treasury yields higher. However, the release of June CPI data on July 14 provided meaningful relief. Headline CPI fell 0.4% month-over-month (the largest decline since April 2020), beating expectations of a 0.2% drop, while the year-over-year rate eased to 3.5% from 4.2% in May — also better than the 3.8% forecast. Core CPI came in softer than expected. The positive surprise on inflation helped reverse earlier losses and supported a broad recovery in risk assets through the latter half of the week. U.S. equity markets posted modest weekly declines overall. The S&P 500 fell approximately 1.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 2.9%, pressured by weakness in technology and semiconductor stocks amid doubts over AI spending, compounded by the early-week oil spike. Institutional participation remained a key anchor. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a sharp $425 million outflow on July 13 but saw a reversal with $132 million in net inflows on July 17, led by BlackRock’s IBIT. Ethereum ETFs also posted positive flows that day. Crypto Fear & Greed Index stayed firmly in fear territory, fluctuating in the 25–30 range throughout the week. On-chain data offered constructive signals amid the price action. Long-term holders continued accumulating, while notable whale activity highlighted building support at current levels. In summary, the July 13–19 period delivered a measured recovery in spot prices, driven by favorable inflation data and institutional flows, even as geopolitical risks and equity market weakness kept sentiment cautious. Higher energy prices from Middle East tensions are widely viewed as likely to exert only temporary upward pressure on inflation. With stabilizing ETF dynamics and positive on-chain trends, the market continues to consolidate within a broader risk environment.

    ZEROBASE WEEKLY 6.29-7.5 ZBT performed well, bucking the downward trend to rise. It traded in the $0.12–$0.14 zone, climbing toward $0.14 on July 1 supported by a sharp surge in trading volumes that exceeded $50M on peak days during a technical breakout from a downtrend. Liquidity conditions stayed solid across the entire period, with tight bid-ask spreads holding firm. Crypto market showed signs of resilience this week amid lingering volatility, geopolitical tensions, and mixed macro signals, managing a modest recovery driven largely by short-covering and easing near-term rate-hike concerns. Total market capitalization moved from roughly $2.20T–$2.25T early in the period toward the $2.25T–$2.30T zone by Sunday, with Bitcoin dominance holding steady near 55%. Bitcoin opened the week near $59,500–$60,000, pulled back to a mid-week low around $57,700–$58,500 on July 1, then rebounded sharply to trade in the $63,000–$63,200 range by close — recording a net gain of roughly 5% from the weekly low. ETH moved in tandem, starting around $1,610, dipping toward $1,550 mid-week before settling near $1,770–$1,780. Derivatives metrics pointed to cautious but stabilizing sentiment: BTC futures open interest held largely steady in the $45B–$50B band, 24-hour liquidations stayed moderate with a notable short-squeeze component in recent sessions, and funding rates on major pairs such as BTC/USDT remained near neutral. Macro developments provided mixed signals but ultimately supportive tailwinds for risk assets. The June jobs report showed only +57,000 jobs added (weaker than expected), with unemployment dipping to 4.2%, which reduced near-term Federal Reserve rate hike concerns. Geopolitical risks persisted with US-Iran tensions in the Persian Gulf and ongoing Middle East developments, yet de-escalation talks offered some relief. US equities rebounded strongly in the shortened trading week: the S&P 500 gained approximately 1.8%, the Nasdaq rose ~2.1%, and the Dow added ~2.0%, hitting record highs amid a Mag 7 recovery. Still, the sector held firm as institutional positioning showed tentative stabilization. Bitcoin spot ETFs suffered heavy June outflows of roughly $4.15B (the worst monthly total since launch), but recorded a notable $222M net inflow on July 2, snapping a 10-day outflow streak. Positive regulatory signals, including SEC comments indicating a more neutral approach to crypto products and political backing against treating Bitcoin like stocks for payments, offered a constructive longer-term backdrop. Key developments this week also included the CLARITY Act deadline slipping and continued institutional interest in Ethereum infrastructure. In summary, the period delivered a measured rebound in spot prices and positioning despite the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remaining in extreme fear territory (readings around 15–22). With short-covering providing immediate momentum, macro relief from soft jobs data, regulatory progress, the market appears to be establishing a more stable base heading further into Q3 — though sustained institutional inflows will be key to confirming the trend.

    ZEROBASE Weekly (June 1–7, 2026) ZBT stood tall through this week’s brutal market crash, showing real strength while everything else got hammered. As the broader crypto sector sank into double-digit losses, ZBT held steady in good range without breaking a sweat. Liquidity conditions stayed solid across the entire period, with the average top-of-book bid-ask spread consistently holding at an impressively tight 0.45%. Crypto market faced significant pressure this week, with a clear correction triggered by leveraged unwinds and macro headwinds. Total market capitalization moved from roughly $2.45T–$2.50T early in the period toward the $2.15T–$2.21T zone by Sunday, reflecting widespread risk-off sentiment. Bitcoin opened the week near $73,500, pulled back sharply to a mid-week low around $60,800, then staged a modest rebound to trade in the $61,500–$62,500 range by close — recording a net loss of roughly 15–17% from its weekly high, with liquidations exceeding $1B across the sector at the peak of the sell-off. ETH moved in tandem but with steeper downside, starting around $2,000–$2,004, dipping toward $1,550 before settling near $1,570–$1,600 — a net decline of over 20% from the weekly open. Derivatives metrics reflected heightened stress followed by partial stabilization: total open interest contracted notably from the $50B+ band early in the week, 24-hour liquidations spiked into the $1B+ range mid-week before moderating, and funding rates on major pairs such as BTC/USDT swung negative before returning toward neutral-to-mildly positive territory by the weekend. Macro picture got an extra layer of pressure on Friday when the Bureau of Labor Statistics dropped its May employment report. Nonfarm payrolls rose by a stronger-than-expected 172,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3% — right in line with the tight 4.3–4.5% range it has stayed in since last summer. The hotter-than-forecast reading cooled hopes for near-term Fed rate cuts and added fuel to the elevated interest-rate narrative already weighing on risk assets. Macro headwinds intensified, with geopolitical risks, elevated interest rates, and ETF outflows contributing to the downside pressure. Still, the sector showed early signs of capitulation and bargain hunting as prices tested key support http://levels.In summary, the period delivered a sharp correction in spot prices and positioning amid elevated fear. Yet ZBT demonstrated clear outperformance and resilience, underscoring its defensive strength in turbulent conditions. With the market now probing lower supports and derivatives metrics beginning to normalize, the sector appears to be building a potential base heading into the next leg of the quarter.

    ZEROBASE Weekly (May 11–17, 2026) A clear outperformer is ZBT, which demonstrated notable relative strength and defensive resilience. While the broader market and major tokens encountered downside pressure on several sessions, ZBT held up remarkably well with only minimal drawdowns, advancing from lows around $0.148 to close in the $0.160–$0.162 area. Cryptocurrency market exhibited cautious consolidation with selective resilience this week, absorbing intermittent selling pressure while maintaining key support levels. Total market capitalization hovered in the $2.60T–$2.70T range with limited net change. Bitcoin traded in a relatively tight band, opening near $81,700, testing highs above $82,000 intraday, and settling in the $78,000–$79,000 zone by Sunday. ETH followed suit, fluctuating between approximately $2,250 and $2,320. Derivatives data pointed to a measured market tone: total open interest stabilized around $110B–$115B, 24-hour liquidations stayed within the $300M–$600M range amid choppy trading, and funding rates on major perpetual contracts hovered near neutral. Macro headwinds remained in focus, with continued geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, anticipation around upcoming CPI data, and concerns over persistent inflation reinforcing the Federal Reserve’s cautious outlook. Crypto also tracked traditional markets to some degree, as the S&P 500 approached record highs near 7,400 driven by tech strength, despite occasional pressure on the Nasdaq. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw mixed flows, including a significant single-day outflow of $635M mid-week, yet overall institutional interest provided underlying support. In summary, the week featured balanced positioning with standout resilience from names like ZBT, even as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained in Fear territory. Although macro uncertainties linger, the market’s ability to absorb dips alongside positive equity market momentum suggests a potentially firmer base heading deeper into Q2.

    The Middle East has de-escalated notably after Israel and Lebanon reached a 10-day ceasefire agreement, with the U.S.-Iran truce window entering a critical phase. This has triggered a sharp drop in oil prices, easing global inflation pressures and reviving market risk appetite. Capital is rotating from defensive assets like oil and gold into high-beta risk assets. Crypto markets are responding positively. Bitcoin is holding firm at elevated levels and steadily approaching the key $75,000 threshold. It briefly topped $76,000 before a profit-taking pullback, yet on-chain data shows large whales continue strong accumulation. Falling oil prices and reduced geopolitical tensions are providing solid support. In contrast, altcoins have already launched a rotation rally. XRP, Solana, and select DeFi/AI tokens are posting solid gains. Although Bitcoin dominance remains high, clear signs of capital shifting into altcoins are emerging. Once Bitcoin stabilizes firmly above $75,000, altcoins — led by Ethereum — are expected to accelerate.This improved risk sentiment aligns with traditional markets, where Wall Street continues hitting new highs amid a weaker dollar and better liquidity outlook. Historically, similar geopolitical de-escalations have served as powerful catalysts for crypto rebounds.Though the ceasefire remains fragile, the current macro environment is broadly supportive of crypto’s next upward leg. This presents a timely positioning window: maintain Bitcoin and Ethereum as core holdings while selectively adding promising altcoins to capture the rotation. We have also observed that ZBT has performed well over the past two days. The Middle East easing could become a major driver for the ongoing bull market.

    ZEROBASE Weekly 3/23~3/29 ZBT traded between $0.0661 and $0.0746 during the week. ZBT experienced positive volatility, opening the week near $0.0688 and closing around $0.0739 with good performance. Crypto derivatives market experienced notable volatility and deleveraging last week. Total Open Interest stabilized around $105–106B (slight weekly decline of ~0.4–0.6%), while 24h liquidations frequently spiked above $300M during the pullback, with longs bearing the brunt (long liquidations often 70%+ of daily totals). Funding rates turned mildly negative on major pairs like BTC/USDT, reflecting bearish sentiment. The crypto market surrendered the previous week’s advances as hawkish macro signals and lingering geopolitical risks weighed heavily: total market capitalization pulled back from roughly $2.51T peak to around $2.3T, while Bitcoin climbed briefly above $71K early in the week before retreating to the $66,000–66,800 zone by Sunday — an approximately 6–8% drop from its weekly high. ETH mirrored the move, declining roughly 5–7% to hover near $1,970–2,010. Economic releases continued to underscore sticky inflation and policy caution: fresh PCE and consumer sentiment data reinforced stagflation concerns, with the FOMC’s prior hawkish tilt (fewer rate cuts expected in 2026) still casting a shadow. Geopolitical uncertainty around Iran added further risk-off pressure. On the brighter side, crypto-specific tailwinds persisted — including the landmark SEC/CFTC joint statement classifying major assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP etc.) as digital commodities and ongoing progress on stablecoin yield legislation. ETF flows flipped more negative: Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net outflows of roughly -$268M for Mar 23–27 (early small inflows wiped out by heavy redemptions mid-to-late week), while Ether ETFs showed relatively resilient but still mixed performance. Overall, the week highlighted continued deleveraging in derivatives, with the market entering Extreme Fear territory. Classic risk-off rotation, but regulatory foundations remain solid for the medium term.

To support increased strategy density, expanded capital allocation scale, and upgraded risk control parameters, ZBT Tickets will enter Phase II pricing on December 25, 2025. The new pricing reflects the current system maturity, strategy capacity, and the operational cost of risk constraints. Phase II will take effect via an onchain contract parameter update, with pricing adjustments for each tier as follows: Gold: 5,000 ZBT Diamond: 50,000 ZBT Infinite: 500,000 ZBT Phase I pricing ends effective immediately. Once Phase II goes live, the new pricing will automatically apply to all newly minted ZBT Tickets. This adjustment does not affect the rights or benefits of existing ZBT Ticket holders.
