Gate Ventures: Markets operate under pressure amid heightened macroeconomic uncertainty; defensive strategies and structural opportunities coexist.
PANews reported on February 9th that, according to Gate Ventures' latest weekly crypto report, global macroeconomic uncertainty has continued to escalate since the beginning of February. Disagreements remain regarding the path of interest rate cuts, the pace of balance sheet reduction, and the coordination of fiscal and monetary policies. Several key macroeconomic data releases are scheduled for this week, becoming important variables for short-term market pricing. Against this backdrop, the crypto market as a whole is under pressure, with Bitcoin and Ethereum falling 8.6% and 7.9% respectively this week. Related ETFs have seen historic net outflows, and market sentiment remains in the "extreme fear" range. Meanwhile, gold is fluctuating in tandem with risk assets, reflecting the continued cautious risk appetite in the overall financial markets.
At the industry level, structural progress continues. Polymarket and Circle announced a partnership to migrate their settlement system to native USDC, further strengthening the application of compliant stablecoins in on-chain scenarios. In terms of investment and financing, 12 financing transactions were completed last week, with funds primarily flowing into the infrastructure sector. Among these, Tether made a $100 million strategic investment in Anchorage Digital, strengthening its compliant crypto infrastructure footprint; TRM Labs completed a $70 million financing round to continue expanding its crypto intelligence and compliance capabilities. Overall, short-term market volatility pressures remain, but capital and industry development are gradually concentrating on defensive attributes and long-term structural opportunities.
