I'm watching Aster as altcoins are starting to recover

I’ve been keeping $ASTER on my watchlist because the timing of this move is pretty interesting.

Altcoins are finally getting some relief, with the total crypto market cap up around 1.4% in the last 24 hours. A lot of names are bouncing, but ASTER moving close to around 10% makes it stand out a bit more for me.

The main reason I’m paying attention is that there are actual catalysts behind it. The permissionless listing vote is live, so stakers have more say in what gets listed, and it also gives people a reason to lock up supply instead of just trading in and out.

The RWA perp side is also worth watching. SpaceX pre-IPO perp exposure and HK stock perps like Tencent and Xiaomi give Aster a different angle from the usual perp DEX narrative. And I have been tradingg it on Bitget so far since liquidity there has been decent, but I’m mostly watching to see whether the RWA narrative keeps gaining traction from here.

I’m not calling this a guaranteed breakout or anything. Macro is still messy, and the next inflation print could shift the whole mood fast. But when altcoins start recovering, I usually look for projects with a clear narrative and growing attention.

Right now, ASTER fits that list for me. Curious what others think. Is this just another bounce, or does the RWA perp angle actually have room to run?

Nvidia is gonna take over the market as the earnings of it is on the way

You heard it right, NVIDIA earnings is one of the biggest market events of the year, not only this , there are others as well but this one feels different and the options marketing is already showing the sign. Traders are currently pricing in around a 6.5% post-earnings move, which could translate into nearly a $350B swing in market value in a single session.

What’s interesting is that sentiment still looks heavily bullish overall. A lot of traders believe AI demand remains strong, especially with hyperscaler spending, Blackwell expectations, and growing optimism around future chip demand. At the same time there's not much hedging profit taking happening but I saw a smooth shift from 218-223 already ahead of the earnings.

I’ve been using Bitget's GetAgent to plan different scenarios before entering any position. If NVDA delivers strong guidance again, the AI trade could extend even further. But if expectations are too high, we could easily see a sell-the-news reaction despite solid earnings.

Though the scenario might not be the same we always expect but at least we can share our thoughts and shed light each other's opinion to be better. So, what so you guys think about this?

Hyperliquid’s Recent Coinbase & Circle Deal Is Bigger Than We Think!

Hyperliquid’s latest Coinbase and Circle partnership could end up being more important than most traders realize.

With USDC becoming the platform’s main quote asset, Hyperliquid may now capture a large share of stablecoin reserve income that previously flowed mostly to Circle and Coinbase.

At roughly $5B in USDC deposits already on the platform, estimates suggest this could add over $100M annually in extra revenue. That matters because stablecoin deposits tend to be more stable than trading volume during weaker markets.

For HYPE holders, the bigger picture is simple: stronger recurring revenue can support buybacks, liquidity growth, and long-term ecosystem expansion.

While the market focuses on short-term price action, smart money is usually watching where sustainable cash flow is building. Bitget is also seeing strong HYPE trading activity lately, which explains why liquidity there has been attracting more attention from active traders.

The takeaway is simple here, don’t just watch price. Watch deposits, revenue growth, and whether this model keeps attracting liquidity.

Did you know $10T is more than every country’s GDP except China and the US, so what can we expect from Tour?

That’s why the Trump-Xi visit to China caught so much market attention. CEOs from Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Boeing, Meta, Goldman Sachs, and others joined the trip, representing companies with a combined value of more than $10 trillion.

Opportunities around these stocks though I will be focusing on NVDA and AAPL this time and execute it as soon as they gets their momentum. I think an entry on NVDA around $224-226 will be better for me and my target is around 236-240 for now...

For now, I'll also be watching TSLA, BA, and MU for any follow-up signals around market access, regulatory clarity, and supply chain confidence and will execute them using bitget'sstock futures for better accessibility.

What do you think this $10T-level business presence could mean for the market next?

Rupee Hits Record Low: What’s Driving the Decline

The Indian rupee has slipped to a record low near 95.40 against the US dollar, pressured by a combination of global and domestic factors. Rising oil prices, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and weak capital inflows have all contributed to the currency’s decline.

Oil prices surge, widen external gap | A sharp rise in crude oil prices remains the primary driver of the rupee’s weakness. Brent crude has climbed to near $110–115 per barrel since the escalation of the U.S.–Iran conflict, significantly increasing India’s import bill. This has led to persistent dollar demand from oil companies, putting sustained pressure on the currency.

Geopolitical tensions continue to weigh on markets | Renewed military activity in the Gulf, especially near the Strait of Hormuz, has raised concerns over potential supply disruptions. This has weakened global risk sentiment, sustained higher oil prices, and added to volatility across financial markets.

Stronger dollar amid risk-off sentiment | Global investors have shifted toward safe-haven assets, boosting the US dollar. A stronger dollar typically weighs on emerging market currencies, and the rupee has been no exception amid the ongoing risk-off environment.

Macro pressures intensify | Elevated energy prices are putting increasing pressure on India’s macroeconomic outlook. Economists are revising up current account deficit estimates, raising inflation projections, and lowering growth forecasts as higher crude costs ripple through the economy.

Persistent dollar demand, skewed hedging | Importers, especially oil marketing firms, continue to buy dollars steadily, while exporters remain cautious on hedging in anticipation of further rupee weakness. This has created an imbalance in the forex market, keeping near-term demand for dollars elevated.

Weak capital inflows add to pressure | A lack of consistent foreign investment has reduced the support needed to stabilize the currency. Sporadic equity inflows have fallen short of offsetting persistent outflows driven by trade dynamics.

RBI intervention and policy response | The Reserve Bank of India has been actively stepping into the foreign exchange market to manage volatility, using both spot and forward interventions. At the same time, the central bank is evaluating additional measures to boost dollar inflows as pressure on the rupee continues.

Pressure spreads across Asian peers | The rupee’s weakness reflects a broader regional trend, with other oil-sensitive Asian currencies such as the Indonesian rupiah and Philippine peso also coming under pressure amid rising crude prices and heightened geopolitical uncertainty.

Outlook tied to oil and flows | Analysts expect the rupee to remain under pressure in the near term, with its trajectory closely linked to crude oil prices and capital flows. A sustained easing in oil prices or a pickup in inflows would be key to stabilising the currency.

Happy Thursday guys, I recently completed the Bitget Learning Hub program and wanted to share a more grounded perspective for anyone exploring Web3 education or trying to break into the space.

A big challenge right now is that many people want to work in Web3 but don’t know what skills are actually relevant or how to present themselves. Programs like this help bridge that gap by focusing on practical knowledge and giving you a clearer direction. It aligns quite well with a “User First” approach, where the goal is to help users upskill rather than just consume content.

One thing that stood out is how structured the learning path is. Instead of random tutorials, it walks through core concepts in a way that helps you actually understand how the Web3 ecosystem works and where different roles fit in. For someone building or refining a Web3 portfolio, that clarity is useful.

Another point worth mentioning is the certification. Having a certificate signed by CMO may not guarantee a job, but it does add credibility when included on LinkedIn or a CV, especially for those who are just starting out and need something to show as proof of learning from a recognized platform.

For context, this is part of the Blockchain4Youth initiative, which seems aimed at helping more people access Web3 education and opportunities. Whether it’s fully worth it will depend on your goals, but as an entry-level or foundational resource, it’s a reasonable option to consider.

If you know someone who’s actively trying to enter the Web3 space but feels stuck or unsure where to start, this could be something they look into:
