Gate Research: Monthly Review - August 2024

10/8/2024, 8:14:17 AM
Gate Research Monthly Review: The crypto market performed weakly in August. Bitcoin plummeted from $66,000 to $49,000, then rallied to $64,000 by month's end before pulling back. Global financial markets saw intense volatility due to macroeconomic factors, pushing BTC futures liquidations to a yearly peak. BTC and ETH ETFs both experienced net outflows, while blockchain network activity ramped up—notably, Aptos' trading volume skyrocketed. The DeFi sector weathered multiple security breaches, incurring losses over $5.28 million. On the funding front, 88 projects secured financing totaling $80 million, with CeFi and DeFi emerging as standout sectors.
