CryptoQuant analyst Moreno stated that USDT liquidity is experiencing one of the most severe contraction phases in history. The market value of USDT has decreased by about 4 billion dollars over the past 60 days, approaching historically low levels. At the same time, the liquidity contraction is still accelerating, with the USDT supply decreasing by about 870 million dollars in the past 11 days, indicating that this is not merely a lagging effect caused by previous redemptions.Stablecoins are the most direct source of available liquidity in the crypto market, and the continuous expansion of USDT is usually accompanied by stronger price performance of BTC, while prolonged contraction phases often correspond to weak demand, market corrections, and declining risk appetite. However, the correlation between USDT flows and BTC prices does not prove a direct causal relationship; both may be influenced by risk-averse sentiment, with redemption pressure and spot selling occurring simultaneously. The current decline in BTC is not an isolated event but is happening against the backdrop of a continuous shrinkage of one of the main sources of market liquidity, which also explains why the recent rebound has been difficult to sustain. To improve the market environment, we need to see the 60-day change in USDT stabilize, daily supply contraction slow down, and re-enter an expansion phase.

According to data from the multi-model aggregation platform OpenRouter, from July 27 to August 2, DeepSeek V4 Flash topped the global AI large model usage ranking with a call volume of 7.22 trillion tokens. Data from the open-source platform OpenCode shows that this model alone processed 8 trillion tokens on August 1. Four out of the top five positions are occupied by Chinese large models: Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.5 (5.1 trillion), Tencent's Hunyuan Hy3 (5.01 trillion), and another DeepSeek V4 Flash model (3.45 trillion) ranked second to fourth, while OpenAI GPT-5.6 Luna (2.99 trillion, a month-on-month increase of 738%) ranked fifth.The total call volume of Chinese large models last week reached 28.13 trillion tokens, surpassing the United States for 14 consecutive weeks, firmly holding the top position globally. The previously highly anticipated Kimi K3 fell out of the top ten this week, ranking 12th. It is noteworthy that free models are capturing an increasing share of traffic, with some models experiencing month-on-month growth exceeding 50%. Analysis indicates that domestic models have shifted from price competition to relying on inference performance and stable service capabilities, but companies like OpenAI and Anthropic continue to iterate, accelerating the internal competition and the pace of product iteration will determine user retention capabilities.

According to crypto KOL 0xSLK, Uniswap is developing a token issuance platform called "Pools" on the Robinhood Chain. The official website is now online, but the product is not yet open. The pools.trade page displays "Coming soon from Uniswap" and plays a video of a frog jumping into a pond. Research has found that the front-end code related to Pools contains a lot of product information, and its internal name is "Pools - create a token on Robinhood Chain." The "rh-cca" path is believed to be related to the Robinhood Chain and Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism.The public code shows that Pools is expected to offer two token issuance models: Crowd Launch: using a 4-hour auction mechanism, with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, of which 50% is for auction, and the remaining 50% along with the raised funds is used to establish Uniswap v4 liquidity pools. If the $50,000 FDV target is reached, the tokens will complete migration and open for trading; otherwise, participants can get a refund. Instant Launch: similar to the Bonding Curve model, users can trade immediately, with 80% of tokens used for curve trading, and the remaining 20% and funds used for liquidity building, completing migration after reaching a $50,000 FDV. Currently, the on-chain infrastructure related to Pools has been deployed to the Robinhood Chain. Uniswap's official documentation shows that related contracts include CCA Factory, LiquidityLauncher, and LBPStrategy, among others. Data shows that related contracts have generated hundreds of auction events and completed hundreds of token creations and migrations.Meanwhile, several tokens borrowing the concept of Pools have emerged in the market. Researchers point out that there is currently no official POOLS token, and any tokens named Pools, pools.trade, or UniFrog have not been confirmed by Uniswap Labs. Among them, the meme coin FRONG (which briefly surpassed a market cap of $7 million this morning, rising over 90% in 24 hours) has attracted attention for using a frog image similar to that in the Pools promotional video, but it is still just a community-issued token and not an official Uniswap project. The market is currently focused on whether Uniswap will officially open pools.trade, announce the first official issuance project, and release verified official contract addresses.
