Market Overview: Trump Reaffirms Support for Crypto Industry, U.S. Treasury Expands Treasury Buyback Program

This week, global financial markets focused primarily on the latest policy signals from the U.S. government regarding the cryptocurrency industry. On August 19, U.S. President Donald Trump attended the White House Crypto Industry Executive Meeting, which was attended by senior officials from government agencies including the SEC and CFTC, as well as representatives from crypto and fintech companies such as Coinbase, Robinhood, and Ripple. During the meeting, Trump reiterated his support for cryptocurrency development, stating that the U.S. is accelerating the transition of financial markets into the blockchain era through initiatives including the promotion of “Project Crypto,” the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Reserve, and the advancement of stablecoin regulations.

On the same day, the U.S. Treasury announced plans to expand the scale of long-term U.S. Treasury buyback operations to improve liquidity in the long-term Treasury market. The buyback volume for long-term nominal coupon securities, including 10-to-20-year and 20-to-30-year maturities, will be increased by at least double. The maximum amount per operation will rise from the current $2 billion to $4 billion, with the adjustments expected to officially take effect on September 9, 2026.

Crypto Asset Performance: Broad-Based Rally Across Cryptocurrencies, Median Gain of Top 300 Tokens Reaches 9.76% This Week

Driven by Trump’s clear support for the development of the cryptocurrency industry and continued positive signals from U.S. macroeconomic policies, the crypto market experienced a broad-based rally this week. Among the Top 300 tokens tracked by Bitunix, the median price change reached +9.76%. BTC surged 17.72% over the past seven days, with its current price approaching $75,000. ETH also delivered strong performance, gaining 25.81% over the same period. Major cryptocurrencies broadly advanced this week, with multiple tokens including XRP, SOL, and HYPE recording gains of more than 15%.

Top Gainers - BOME Surges 54%, Multiple Major Tokens Enter Top Gainers List

Among small-cap tokens, BOME posted a 54% weekly gain, with its 24-hour increase reaching an impressive 33%. Overall, despite the broad market rally, small-cap tokens did not see tokens with weekly gains exceeding 100% like RAVE, BEAT, and SKYAI in previous rallies, as market liquidity was largely absorbed by major cryptocurrencies. Due to their strong performance this week, major tokens including HYPE, XRP, and ETH ranked among the top five gainers.

Top Losers - Some Memecoins Fail to Follow the Market Rebound, Only Around 10% of Tokens Declined This Week

Amid the overall recovery in the crypto market this week, the number of declining tokens dropped significantly, with only around 10% of tokens recording losses. Among them, Memecoins such as H, B, and SUN failed to follow the broader market rebound due to a lack of strong narratives aligned with the current bullish trend, resulting in relatively weak price performance. In addition, tokens including KAITO, DEXE, and CFG had already experienced short-term rallies during the previous market consolidation period. As a result, they received relatively limited capital inflows during the broader market recovery and failed to generate further upward momentum.

Hot Token Deep Dive: BOME — The Digital Library of Solana Meme Culture

BOME was created by renowned NFT artist Darkfarms. Unlike traditional crypto projects designed around complex financial applications, BOME was initially positioned as a “permanent digital archive” dedicated to Meme culture. The project’s name, “BOOK OF MEME,” reflects its core vision: preserving Meme images, internet culture, and community creations scattered across the digital world on the blockchain, transforming Memes from temporary online trends into digital cultural assets that can be recorded, traded, and passed on.

BOME Technical Analysis: Over the Past Week: Multiple Consecutive +5% Hourly Candles Signal Strengthening Upward Momentum

BOME was one of the most representative high-growth tokens during the early 2024 market cycle, with some early holders achieving nearly 1,000x returns during that period. The strong wealth effect generated by BOME not only increased market attention toward the Solana Memecoin ecosystem but also attracted significant new capital into on-chain trading markets. However, as market enthusiasm faded, BOME entered a prolonged correction phase over the following two years, with its price falling more than 90% from its historical high at one point.

This week, BOME once again experienced a sharp rally without any clear external catalyst. On the morning of August 20, BOME surged approximately 20% within just two hours, quickly breaking higher and demonstrating strong upward momentum. From the perspective of the MACD indicator, the short-term moving average has remained above the long-term moving average for an extended period. Although the market has not yet formed a traditional “golden cross” signal, the price movement has already accelerated ahead of the indicator, suggesting that short-term buying pressure is rapidly increasing.

BOME Token Structure Analysis: Binance Accounts for Over 30% of Trading Volume, Raydium On-Chain Volume Exceeds $25 Million

In early 2024, BOME was gradually listed on multiple major centralized exchanges. Binance currently accounts for approximately 30% of BOME’s total trading volume across the market. Notably, the BOME/TRY trading pair represents around 15% of total trading volume, with TRY referring to the Turkish lira. This data indicates strong interest from Turkish traders, and local capital inflows may have become one of the key factors supporting BOME’s short-term price performance. As a representative high-beta Alpha Meme token within the Solana ecosystem, BOME is also actively traded across multiple decentralized exchanges on Solana. Raydium recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $25 million, highlighting continued strong on-chain trading activity.

BOME Smart Money Analysis: Wintermute Leads BOME’s Major Uptrend

According to Arkham data, wallet address “MfDuW” has been labeled as a Wintermute market-making wallet. During BOME’s major upward movement, the address conducted multiple large-scale fund transfers and maintained highly active on-chain activity. The market widely believes that Wintermute may have participated in supporting this round of BOME price movement. Historically, Wintermute has provided market-making services for multiple popular Solana ecosystem Memecoins, with its liquidity support helping certain Meme projects achieve rapid growth. However, based on BOME’s current token distribution structure, holdings remain highly concentrated on centralized exchanges, while the proportion of independent on-chain holders remains relatively low, indicating a concentrated circulating supply.

As a representative Memecoin within the Solana ecosystem, BOME’s price performance differs significantly from traditional crypto assets. These types of tokens typically lack stable fundamental support, with prices being primarily influenced by capital flows, community attention, market sentiment, and short-term narratives. When a token experiences rapid price appreciation, it often attracts additional investor attention and triggers FOMO sentiment, encouraging more capital to chase higher prices and potentially accelerating short-term gains. Investors should closely monitor market sentiment, trading volume changes, and capital flows, while maintaining proper position sizing and risk management to avoid excessive losses caused by short-term market volatility.

Summary of BOME Recent Trends

BOME experienced a strong rebound this week, with multiple large bullish candles on the 1-hour chart and gains exceeding 20% within a short period, indicating significantly stronger buying momentum. On-chain and exchange data show that Binance accounts for more than 30% of trading volume, Raydium’s on-chain trading activity remains active, and fund movements from Wintermute-related wallet addresses have attracted market attention, suggesting strong capital support behind the current rally. However, as a representative Solana ecosystem Memecoin, BOME’s price remains highly dependent on market sentiment and capital flows, with limited traditional fundamental support. Investors should closely monitor future changes in trading volume and risks associated with concentrated token holdings.

Stock Contract Weekly Performance: Crypto-Related Stocks Surge, Intel Drops More Than 10%

Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s positive stance toward the development of the U.S. crypto industry during the White House Crypto Industry Executive Meeting, market confidence in crypto regulations and industry prospects improved, driving major crypto assets including BTC, ETH, and XRP higher. As a result, crypto-related stocks in the U.S. equity market also rallied. MSTR gained more than 15.46% this week, CRCL rose 10.66%, while BMNR surged 19.83%, becoming one of the best-performing crypto-related stocks of the week.

Meanwhile, AI-related stocks experienced a cooling-off period this week, with several companies across the AI industry chain, including Google, NVIDIA, and Intel, pulling back after their previous rallies. Among them, Intel’s share price fell more than 10% this week after the company announced a common stock offering, raising concerns over potential shareholder dilution and weakening market confidence.

Featured Stock Contract Analysis — MSTR

As the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury company, Strategy has seen its stock price benefit significantly from the recent rise in BTC prices. In addition, Strategy released its latest investor presentation on August 19, revealing that the company held a total of 840,447 BTC as of August 9, representing approximately 4% of Bitcoin’s total supply. The company stated that its core strategy is not only to hold Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset but also to build a “digital credit” platform through capital markets, further increasing the amount of Bitcoin held per share. The goal of this “digital credit” strategy is to issue digital credit products equivalent to 10%–20% of its Bitcoin reserves annually, subject to market conditions, representing an estimated market size of approximately $5.4 billion to $10.8 billion.

Commodities Contracts Analysis: Fed Dovish Signals Drive Broad Commodity Rally

Bitunix has launched a wide range of commodity contracts, including Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas, providing users with more diversified cross-market trading opportunities. This week, multiple commodities including gold, silver, and Brent crude oil prices rose simultaneously. According to Citi analysts, after the U.S. Treasury expanded its long-term Treasury buyback program, upward pressure on long-term U.S. Treasury yields eased, reducing concerns over Treasury supply pressure. As pressure on the long end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve gradually stabilizes, demand for gold as a safe-haven asset and its potential upside may continue.

Macro Catalyst: Key Focus Next Week — U.S. July Core PCE Price Index Annual Rate

Looking ahead to next week, market attention will focus on the U.S. July Core PCE Price Index annual rate, scheduled to be released by the U.S. Department of Commerce on August 26. The Core PCE Price Index is one of the Federal Reserve’s most closely watched inflation indicators. By excluding volatile food and energy prices, it better reflects long-term trends in the U.S. consumer prices and serves as a key reference for evaluating the Fed’s future monetary policy direction.

If Core PCE inflation comes below market expectations, it would indicate continued easing of inflationary pressures, strengthening expectations for Fed rate cuts, pushing Treasury yields lower, and providing a more accommodative liquidity environment for risk assets such as equities and cryptocurrencies. Conversely, if Core PCE data exceeds expectations, it may suggest that the inflation decline has stalled, limiting the Fed’s room for rate cuts. Expectations for monetary easing could weaken, potentially putting pressure on risk asset prices.

Conclusion

This week, the crypto market experienced a broad-based recovery amid Trump’s positive signals supporting the development of the crypto industry and growing expectations for improved U.S. liquidity conditions. Major assets such as BTC and ETH led the rally, while BOME became one of the best-performing tokens of the week driven by strong market interest and capital inflows.

At the same time, crypto-related stocks also strengthened, with MSTR, CRCL, and other related equities benefiting from improving market sentiment. Meanwhile, safe-haven assets such as gold and silver maintained their upward momentum amid expectations of improved Treasury market liquidity. Looking ahead to next week, the market will closely monitor the U.S. July Core PCE Price Index, as the data will directly influence expectations for Fed rate cuts and could become a key catalyst determining the next direction of the crypto market.
