Gate Ventures: Crypto Market Rebound, ETF Fund Inflows Signal Improved Market Structure

PANews reported on January 6th that, according to Gate Ventures' latest weekly crypto report, the crypto market rebounded overall over the past week. BTC and ETH rose by 4.13% and 6.61% respectively, driving a 4.82% increase in the total market capitalization of crypto assets during the week. ETF fund flows improved, with BTC and ETH ETFs recording net inflows of approximately $459 million and $161 million respectively after two consecutive weeks of net outflows. Despite the price recovery, market sentiment remained in the "extreme fear" range. In terms of market structure, non-top-tier assets performed relatively stronger. Excluding BTC and ETH, the market capitalization increased by 5.47%, and the increase expanded to 7.7% after excluding the top ten assets, indicating that fund activity was more concentrated in small and mid-cap assets, with the Memecoin sector leading the gains.

Beyond market performance, ecosystem development is primarily driven by the substantial progress of Ethereum's scaling roadmap, the large-scale implementation of tokenized financial products at the institutional level, and the continued rise in market demand for compliant investment exposure in decentralized AI infrastructure. In terms of investment and financing, four financing events were disclosed last week, with a total announced funding amount of approximately $17 million, mainly flowing into data and infrastructure-related sectors. Although the weekly financing scale has declined somewhat, the continued capital investment and ecosystem building still release structural signals for medium- to long-term development to some extent, while short-term market sentiment remains cautious.
