1. Market Environment

The cryptocurrency market fluctuated over the weekend as it awaited the U.S. CPI data set for release on May 15. Traders displayed clear risk aversion, and the market lacked highlights. The ETH/BTC ratio fell to 0.047, and Ethereum's network gas fee reached a low point of 2 gwei. In the past two years, the previous three lows in ETH gas fees coincided with price-bottoming phases for ETH.

Airdrops and TGEs from notable projects continue to draw market attention: Since EigenLayer opened claims for the EIGEN token airdrop, the number of participating addresses has exceeded 130,000 and is still rapidly increasing. Airdrop announcements from BounceBit, io.net, Notcoin, and LayerZero have sparked interest.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sectors to Focus on Next — AI Sector

Primary reasons:

The AI and distributed computing sectors have shown strong consensus and bullish trends with smaller maximum drawdown compared to other sectors, providing some support. The AI sector experienced a pullback today, presenting a potential entry opportunity.
Rumors suggest Apple is close to finalizing a deal with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into the iPhone. Additionally, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is set to start on June 10, where Apple may announce plans to upgrade Siri using AI technology.
ChatGPT-5 is expected to be officially released as early as June.

2.2 Sectors to Focus on Next — TON Ecosystem

Primary reasons:

Pantera's investment in TON may exceed $250 million, marking its largest investment in cryptocurrency to date.
High-traffic projects within the TON ecosystem, such as Notcoin, have been listed on Binance, though the TON token itself has not yet been listed. It is widely anticipated that TON's listing on Binance is only a matter of time.
The infrastructure of the TON ecosystem is in its early stages, yet it has already produced high-traffic projects like Notcoin and Catizen, showcasing a substantial user base supported by Telegram.
The issuance of stablecoins within the ecosystem has infused it with financial vitality, with TON's on-chain USDT supply reaching 130 million in two weeks, making it the eighth-largest blockchain for USDT issuance.

Specific projects: TON, FISH, and UP.
