Dear Gate VIP user:

We invite you to read this issue of the Gate VIP Weekly Report (August 4, 2025 - August 10, 2025). Last week, the cryptocurrency market was active on multiple fronts, with positive signals emerging from public chains, DeFi, and policy aspects.

Last Week Market Overview Highlights:

Alpha Mining: The short-term trend of BTC remains strong, but it is approaching an important resistance area; ETH is still in a mid-term bullish trend, but it is close to the top of the upward channel. In terms of altcoins, Lido DAO (LDO) has benefited from the surge in Ethereum prices and institutional custody support, with a 7-day increase of over 62%; Aerodrome Finance (AERO) has seen an increase of nearly 49% due to liquidity expansion on the Base network.

On-chain funds: Base topped with a net inflow of $80.3 million, reversing the previous trend of continuous net outflows, driven by SocialFi and the creator economy. The TVL has surpassed $4.6 billion, forming a multi-layer closed loop of transactions, content, and social interactions; Berachain’s PoL v2 upgrade introduced native staking rewards and strengthened the distribution of real protocol revenue, driving the lending and re-collateralization ecosystem to heat up simultaneously.

Policy Level: Trump promotes crypto-friendly policies and strengthens Federal Reserve reforms, releasing positive policy signals; Hong Kong accelerates the compliance process for RWA.
