Gate Research: On January 7, the crypto market remained under pressure and traded in a consolidative manner, with risk appetite staying defensive. BTC pulled back from recent highs and moved into range-bound consolidation, with short-term momentum easing while the medium-term structure remains intact; ETH showed relatively resilient performance. On the thematic side, DSYNC, FHE, and XPLA posted strong gains, driven by narratives around AI agents, privacy computing, and Web3 gaming/IP co-creation. Structurally, new highs in Aave Horizon’s RWA borrowing, record Polygon PoS fee burns, and multiple Solana metrics reaching record levels in 2025 stand out as key fundamental positives, though the sustainability of the broader trend still depends on continued sentiment stabilization and the materialization of incremental catalysts.

Gate Research: BTC has stabilized again on the 4-hour timeframe, with a clear upside structure in place. Overall price action points to a mild and orderly recovery. ETH's catch-up move is gradually taking shape, with a noticeably steeper trend slope than BTC. Supported by returning capital inflows, its upside pace has continued to accelerate. Capital flows across public blockchains are showing clear divergence. More conservative, allocation-oriented capital is rotating back into core settlement layers, led by Ethereum. Base, as a user onboarding and asset distribution layer, is also seeing sustained net inflows. Polymarket Builders trading volume has reached a new all-time high, further strengthening the head effect. The increase in trading activity is mainly concentrated in a small number of mature tools, including betmoar.
