US-Iran Negotiation Deadlock Weighs on Risk Appetite, BTC Falls Below 65K and Consolidates Around 64K on Low Volume
🔍 Core Insights
  • 📊 Market Analysis
    • Trump demanded that Iran compensate for casualties from wars and attacks, while Iran made the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz a precondition for negotiations. The widening differences pushed talks into a deadlock, driving oil prices higher and weighing on risk appetite. U.S. technology stocks came under pressure, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones retreating from record levels. Nvidia fell nearly 3% following reports related to a $500 billion AI financing plan, Apple dropped 1.5% after analyst downgrades, and Intel declined over 4% after announcing a stock issuance plan. In the crypto market, BTC failed to extend its weekend rebound, falling back after multiple unsuccessful attempts to break above the $65,300–$65,400 resistance zone. The price then breached the key $65,000 support level, triggering short-term selling pressure and dropping to around $63,800–$63,900. BTC is currently trading narrowly around $64,000, with shrinking trading volume and entering a low-volume consolidation phase.
    • BTC: $63,976.0 (-1.43%); ETH: $1,873.06 (-1.96%); NASDAQ: 26,605.36 (-0.32%); S&P 500: 7,753.11 (-0.06%); Fear & Greed Index: 29 (previous: 30) (Data as of: 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC)

    • The Ethereum ecosystem is entering a new phase of infrastructure upgrades and economic model adjustments. Vitalik’s updated roadmap highlights quantum security, privacy protection, native Rollups, protocol simplification, and Blob/Gas market mechanisms as key priorities. This reflects Ethereum’s strategic shift from pure scaling toward balancing security, privacy, and long-term sustainability, moving from “supporting all types of activities” toward “designing specialized mechanisms for different use cases.” In contrast to its long-term vision, Ethereum faces short-term fundamental pressures. ETH staking has exceeded 41.7 million ETH, accounting for roughly one-third of circulating supply, with increasing staking concentration creating liquidity constraints and centralization risks. Discussions around EIP-8363, including staking rewards, issuance mechanisms, and value capture, highlight Ethereum’s ongoing effort to rebalance security budgets, token incentives, and ecosystem value distribution. ETH’s role may gradually evolve toward a store-of-value and infrastructure asset. Meanwhile, continued institutional accumulation of ETH (such as BitMine holding nearly 5.8 million ETH) indicates renewed market reassessment of its long-term value. However, concentrated holdings, locked staking positions, and unrealized losses among large holders may increase potential market pressure amid weak price performance, requiring close monitoring of liquidity risks and institutional capital movements.
Macro Economy
  • US-Iran Situation: The outlook for US-Iran negotiations deteriorated further, with talks over reopening the Strait of Hormuz reaching an impasse. Iran stated that it was close to reaching an agreement with Oman to reopen the Strait, but set multiple conditions before agreeing to full reopening, including ending the U.S. maritime blockade, withdrawing U.S. air and naval forces near Iran, compensating for recent conflict losses, lifting sanctions, and unfreezing Iranian assets unconditionally. Iran rejected direct negotiations with the U.S. until these conditions are met. Trump responded by demanding compensation from Iran for deaths caused by wars, attacks, and protests. Meanwhile, the Houthi movement claimed responsibility for an attack on a Saudi refinery near the Red Sea.
  • Trump approved a 90-day extension of the Jones Act shipping exemption, with the scope shifted toward energy transportation.
