VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsLiquid staking emerged after Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake mechanism. Its primary goal is to enhance asset utility by allowing users to earn staking rewards while maintaining the liquidity of their staked positions. Currently, mainstream liquid staking protocols allow users to stake their assets in exchange for liquid staking tokens (LSTs). For instance, by staking ETH on platforms such as Lido, users receive stETH tokens. This approach is commonly referred to as "liquid staking derivatives" (LSDs). Since Binance hinted at collaborating with Sanctum to launch the Solana liquid staking token BNSOL, Sanctum's governance token CLOUD has gained significant attention, rising despite unfavorable market trends. On September 5, Bybit announced its partnership with Solayer to launch bbSOL. Additionally, major exchanges have unveiled plans to introduce Solana LST tokens. EigenLayer also began its second season of airdrop claims this week, with its governance token EIGEN potentially circulating by the end of September. The LSD and restaking sectors are gaining quiet momentum, potentially setting the stage for a new wave of hype around restaking within the SOL ecosystem.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsUS initial claims for unemployment insurance and the unemployment rate are being released this week, key factors influencing the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate cuts in September. The market has been sluggish recently, with noticeable risk-averse sentiment. Bearish sentiment among community users and the arrest of Telecom's CEO, a black swan event, have further dampened the mood, resulting in average performance for blue-chip coins and altcoins. The market tends to fluctuate significantly when macroeconomic data is about to be released. It is reasonable to reduce leverage, maintain reasonable position sizes, and preserve funds to buy the dip. We will introduce upcoming token launches on Bitget, on-chain earning opportunities with USDT/USDC and SOL, and speculative targets in the Solana Liquid Staking (LSD) sector.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsOn August 12, the TRON ecosystem DEX, SUN.io, launched Sun Pump, the ecosystem's first memecoin issuance platform. Its goal is to provide creators with a convenient and cost-effective token issuance solution. As of August 21, Sun Pump has surpassed pump.fun in revenue and the number of new tokens issued. Some Meme coins issued on Sun Pump have shown astonishing performance. For example, SUNDOG increased by 10,156 times within 5 days and 8 hours of its creation, and FOFAR increased by 6176 times in 4 days and 6 hours. These skyrocketing memecoins have attracted significant attention from investors.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsSince Q2 2024, despite the overall decline in the cryptocurrency market, one ecosystem has bucked the trend and delivered exceptional returns—the TON ecosystem. The price of TON has surged by over 3.5x since the beginning of the year and is currently fluctuating around $7, near its all-time high. Backed by Telegram's nearly 1 billion users, the TON ecosystem has developed a range of unique applications that have recently become a focal point within the community.
VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic conditions and market reactions makes it challenging to predict short-term and mid-term market trends, with both black-swan and white-swan events possible at any time. Therefore, a rational approach would be to maintain a balanced position and reserve funds for potential dip-buying opportunities. In our last issue, we recommended several passive income products on Bitget. Now, we will introduce additional products based on USDT/USDC, BTC, and SOL, available both on Bitget and their respective blockchains. (While ETH-related LST and restaking projects have shown the highest potential returns lately, they are not included in our recommendations this time due to the high uncertainty of LST projects and their lack of flexibility in unstaking.)

Passive income products from centralized exchanges can offer low-risk returns despite market volatility by utilizing diversified portfolios to mitigate downside risks. This week, we recommend Bitget Earn's passive income products for our key clients.
