Multicoin Partner: Crypto Market Has Bottomed Out, Long-Term Bullish on SOL, HYPE, and ZEC

2 hours ago

Multicoin Capital managing partner Tushar Jain said on a podcast that the crypto market has hit bottom and entered a critical turning phase. He noted that current market sentiment has fully cleared out, recent negative news including major hacks has not triggered mass sell-offs, while rising application adoption rates and the growing divergence between asset prices and fundamentals are both signaling a market reversal, with the current environment shaping a "perfect storm". Jain remains bullish on the long-term potential of Solana (SOL) and Hyperliquid (HYPE), arguing that SOL is ideal infrastructure for spot trading and tokenized securities development, while Hyperliquid holds a leading position in on-chain derivatives. He currently holds significant allocations to both assets across his personal and Multicoin’s institutional funds. Additionally, he revealed that Multicoin has accumulated a substantial portion of Zcash (ZEC)’s total supply, and views the project as a return to cypherpunk ideals, with potential to rank among the top five crypto assets by market cap in the future. For position management, Jain uses a "trichotomy" strategy: allocating one-third of capital immediately, deploying a second portion via dollar-cost averaging (DCA), and holding the final third to hedge against sharp market pullbacks. Following Zcash’s earlier code vulnerability incident, after the team confirmed no exploitation by hackers, Jain increased his position in the asset.

CZ responds to burning of meme coins at donation address: No overinterpretation needed, it was just wallet cleanup.

CZ responded on X regarding last night’s incident where a donation address burned some CZ and TCC tokens. He stated: “It’s not that deep. I haven’t checked that wallet in a long time. Opened it and found there were too many tokens (tens of thousands), and the software’s display was a bit unfriendly. I gave some suggestions, then did a test. Rather than sending to my address, it’s better to directly send them to a black hole.” Last night, CZ’s donation address transferred 700 million CZ tokens and 400 million TCC tokens to a black hole. Affected by the news, both CZ and TCC saw varying degrees of price surges.

South Korea’s five largest banks have exhausted 85% of their full-year household lending quotas, leaving leveraged stock market funds facing a supply crunch.

South Korean media reported on July 12 that South Korea’s five major commercial banks have used more than 85% of their full-year household loan growth quota in the first half of this year, with two banks even exceeding their full-year caps. Against the backdrop of strict aggregate control targets set by regulatory authorities, the banks have almost no room for new lending in the second half, leading the market to predict a credit "cliff" will materialize in H2, and stock market leverage funds entering the market via loans will face significant contraction pressure. The report notes that the two major drivers of rapid loan growth are the continuously surging demand for mortgage loans and personal loans used directly for stock market participation. Although banks tightened lending pace at the start of the year, neither type of demand has seen a noticeable decline, ultimately driving a continuous rise in loan balances in H1. For investors relying on credit leverage to trade in the stock market, available external financing channels in H2 are facing substantial tightening.

Current funding rates on major CEXs and DEXs indicate the market remains significantly bearish.

According to Coinglass data, as Bitcoin continues its decline today, funding rates on major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges show the market remains significantly bearish. Specific funding rates are detailed in the attached chart. BlockBeats Note: The funding rate is a mechanism set by crypto trading platforms to align perpetual contract prices with their underlying asset prices. It serves as a fund exchange between long and short traders—platforms do not collect this fee. It adjusts the cost or returns of holding contracts to keep contract prices close to underlying asset values. A 0.01% funding rate is the benchmark: rates above 0.01% signal broad bullish sentiment, while rates below 0.005% indicate widespread bearishness.
