Fundamentals are always the core of long-term competition.
The recent market cycle has realistically taught everyone a lesson.
Inflation data has rebounded again, the market is repricing Federal Reserve rate hikes, U.S. Treasury yields are rising, and the entire crypto market is being suppressed under the macro environment of tightening liquidity.
Various narratives take turns on the market stage.
BTC is being pulled back and forth by ETF funds; ETH is repeatedly battling on stories of L2 and RWA; ZEC's privacy theme has shown sharp pulses, heating up fiercely when rising and showing no mercy during pullbacks.
News can push prices up in the short term, but narratives cannot withstand macro liquidity contraction.
Many people get addicted to the floating profits brought by stories but overlook one thing: narratives are just the fuel for the market, real fundamentals are the moat that withstands cycles.
What are fundamentals?
They are not stories hyped by communities.
They are the real capital inflows and outflows of BTC spot ETFs, the chips settled on-chain;
They are ETH's real on-chain fees and settlement demands;
They are ZEC's real users in the privacy sector, not pure thematic speculation.
At the macro level, fundamentals are the real U.S. inflation and employment data, the Federal Reserve's policy path written in black and white, not the rate cut scripts imagined by traders.
When liquidity is loose, any story can fly; when the tide tightens, premiums built on sentiment will quickly dissipate.
Account floating profits come fast and can disappear with a single spike. Only the underlying real fundamentals can withstand the repeated shocks of a rate hike cycle#BTC现货ETF三日流出近4.5亿美元
