According to the Q3 2026 signal report released by Fidelity Digital Assets, the prices of BTC, ETH, and SOL are generally at historical lows, with multiple indicators close to the capitulation zone. Fidelity believes that the current valuation levels may correspond to attractive long-term entry conditions.As of the end of Q2, the weighted net unrealized profit and loss (NUPL) was -0.01, with BTC being the only asset with a positive unrealized profit, approximately 10% above its cost basis, with an unrealized profit of about $108 billion, while ETH and SOL were approximately 30% and 41% below their cost bases, with unrealized losses of about $87 billion and $29 billion, respectively. BTC's market share rose to 68% quarter-over-quarter.The report states that, based on historical backtesting, the current NUPL readings for the three correspond to one-year median returns of 53%, 70%, and 542%, respectively, but the reliability of the samples decreases sequentially. The NUPL reading for SOL has only occurred 21 times in history, concentrated at the end of 2025, which has limited statistical significance.On the fundamental side, the value of stablecoin transfers for both ETH and SOL has reached new highs, exceeding $20 trillion and $2.6 trillion, respectively, over the past 12 months, but network fee revenue continues to decline.Additionally, the report attributes the 22% decline in BTC hash rate from its peak to miners shifting their computing power towards AI and high-performance computing, as AI contract revenues are more stable due to the depressed coin prices.

The Kenyan National Treasury has reduced the minimum paid-up capital requirement for stablecoin issuers by 40%, to approximately $2.32 million, down from nearly $3.9 million in the draft rules from March last year.Under the new regulations, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) will oversee stablecoin issuers and other virtual asset service providers, and may require local platforms to cease offering offshore-issued tokens. The framework requires at least 30% of customer funds to be held in independent trust accounts at Kenyan commercial banks, with the remaining funds invested in qualified local assets. The fiat-backed stablecoin reserves must be consistent with the anchor currency.Issuers are required to maintain either $463,300 in liquid capital or 100% of their liquid liabilities, whichever is higher, and hold qualified reserve assets on a 1:1 basis. Issuers must also conduct quarterly stress tests, submit monthly reserve and transaction reports, and ensure that customers can redeem tokens at face value within two business days.

The Federal Reserve will hold the FOMC monetary policy meeting from July 28 to 29, and the market is closely watching the direction of interest rate adjustments, inflation trends, and the policy signals released by Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh and officials. In the context of macro events driving market volatility, Gate event contracts are becoming a focus tool for some investors participating in the FOMC trading cycle. This product revolves around the price direction of BTC and ETH in short cycles such as 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours, allowing users to make market arrangements in advance based on their predictions of macro policy outcomes and market trends.Compared to traditional derivatives, event contracts adopt a probability pricing model, with each contract priced between 0.01 to 0.99 USDT, and a minimum participation threshold of 1.5 USDT. The product mechanism does not introduce leverage, does not involve margin calls or forced liquidations, and the user's maximum loss is limited to the principal paid at the time of purchase; if the directional judgment is correct, it will be settled at 1 USDT per contract upon expiration. Under key nodes such as macro policies, this model provides users with a trading method that has clear risk boundaries and a lower participation threshold.In addition, Gate event contracts have launched a "New User First Order Compensation" activity, opening a $20,000 prize pool. Eligible new users who complete their first transaction and incur a loss can receive compensation rewards according to the rules.As the FOMC decision and subsequent policy statements are about to be announced, market sentiment may undergo further changes, and Gate event contracts provide users with a new way to participate in short-cycle market trading.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated in its financial system stability assessment report released this month that Brazil's cross-border capital flows based on cryptocurrency have continued to grow since 2017, surpassing traditional capital flows. The report indicates that these capital flows are mostly driven by stablecoins, as businesses and retail investors use stablecoins for efficiency and tax-related reasons. The flow of stablecoins is related to international and local investment indicators such as the S&P 500, VIX, and Bitcoin prices, and is also influenced by exchange rates, interest rates, policy uncertainty, and changes in tax policies.The IMF noted that the Central Bank of Brazil has taken measures to regulate the virtual asset service provider (VASP) industry, but there are still shortcomings in areas such as customer legal protection and asset segregation. Comprehensive implementation of international standards such as the travel rule for anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) is still needed. The report pointed out that Brazil's cryptocurrency system is connected to the traditional financial system, and regulators need to cooperate with domestic and international regulatory bodies to establish a more robust reporting mechanism. The Brazilian Congress is preparing to review Bill 4308/2024 to regulate the status of stablecoins.
