The US, China, and South Korea are the three major markets supporting half of the crypto industry. Interestingly, the stock markets in these three regions are now all on the rise. Where is the big capital flowing? Stock markets, precious metals, rare earths—everywhere is hot. When the interest rate hike cycle begins, the practical applications of blockchain haven't kept up with expectations, which is quite awkward. Let's review some numbers: since Bitcoin surged to a high of 69,000 in 2021, four years have passed. Bitcoin has barely increased, but what about ETH? It has long fallen below the levels of four years ago. If I had to describe it with one word, these have indeed been the most disappointing four years for crypto investors.



But here’s where it gets interesting. Bull markets often break dawn at the most desperate times. Let’s look at the current background: a rate cut cycle is coming, stablecoins are opening up globally, crypto-friendly policy signals are appearing frequently, and on-chain financial applications are being implemented. The macro and technical outlooks are both optimistic, resembling the dawn before a major bull market. When others panic, you should be greedy—that’s no lie. The bull market may come more slowly, but once it starts, the excitement will be quite promising. There are also opinions in the market suggesting that a crypto super cycle is about to begin, with many industry leaders and institutions continuously positioning themselves. This signal should not be underestimated.
BTC-1,84%
ETH-1,93%

ETH drops back to four years ago, I really can't hold on anymore --- Will rate cuts lead to takeoff? I think we need to get the applications out first --- People are greedy when others panic, it's easy to say but hard to do --- Institutions are deploying? How much longer do retail investors have to wait? --- I've heard many times about the night before a bull market, is this for real this time? --- Funds are flowing into the stock market, cryptocurrencies are still in hibernation --- Super cycle starting? I'll believe it when I see it --- No movement in four years, do we have to wait another four years for the next bull market? --- Stablecoins are opening up globally, but what about applications in the crypto space? --- When the rate hike cycle starts, it immediately breaks down; technicals are useless

ETH has truly been outstanding these four years; it was long overdue for a turnaround.

These four years have indeed been stifling, but now it feels like the wind is coming.

Four years later, we're still talking about the darkness before dawn. I'm almost oversleeping. ETH dropped back to where it was four years ago, I should have gone all in, but I was still calculating gas fees to save money... So what if the interest rate cut cycle is here? My principal has long been in the cross-chain bridge.

ETH is still in the basement, we really have to wait for interest rate cuts this time --- Funds have all moved to the stock market, things are indeed quiet here, but on the other hand, institutions are accumulating --- Four years and still talking about the eve of a bull market, I'm a bit tired, not gonna lie --- Will everything come back to life once interest rates are cut? I doubt it, policy directions can change at any time --- I believe in the potential of stablecoins to open up the market, but we've been talking about real-world applications for three years --- People are greedy when others are panicking, as long as there's still money in their pockets, haha --- Is the super cycle starting? Major players accumulating might just be waiting to cut the grass --- To put it bluntly, besides Bitcoin, nothing else is that resistant to drops; ETH still crashes

Based on on-chain data, the flow of funds is indeed undergoing subtle changes, but I have to say—ETH dropping to levels not seen in four years is worth viewing more calmly. Rate cut cycle? Friendly policies? These are all surface-level conditions; what truly determines the start of a bull market are hard indicators like TVL and trading volume whether they can continue to rise. Currently, institutions are positioning themselves, but liquidation risk is always present. It is recommended to reassess from the perspective of smart contract security audits and protocol yield models.

Four years and still talking about the eve of a bull market, I don’t believe you at all --- ETH has fallen so much, and you still dare to talk about dawn? I think it’s just spinning in the pit --- The interest rate cut cycle is here, but funds don’t necessarily flow into the crypto space. Aren’t stocks and precious metals attractive? --- When others panic, they want to be greedy, but it turns out all the greed is from the retail investors, hilarious --- Stablecoins opening up a scene? What’s the explanation? It’s just to prepare for new entrants to be exploited --- Institutions deploy this move every year, but in reality, it’s retail investors going all-in --- If the real bull market is coming, would they still be shouting like this? It shows they’re not confident either --- The macro environment is good, and the technicals are good too, but what about practical application? Still just talk on paper --- Falling from 69,000 to now, four years have passed. It’s not despair, it’s reality --- Whether the super cycle comes or not depends on the Fed’s mood; we can’t really decide here
