The decline in U.S. stocks affected crypto assets, while crypto czar David Sacks stated that Trump has signed an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, but the order only involves hoarding existing confiscated assets rather than direct purchases.

Altcoins generally followed Bitcoin lower, with Ethereum falling 4.68% to around $2,100.In the forex commodities sector, the U.S. dollar index fell for the fourth consecutive day due to tariff concerns; oil prices remained stable amid fluctuations influenced by U.S. tariffs and OPEC+ production increase plans; gold prices retreated due to profit-taking, with spot gold down 0.1%, ending a three-day streak of gains.The current market is increasingly weary of the uncertainty surrounding U.S. policies, especially feeling fatigued by the frequent statements from executive department members and the repeated adjustments to tariff policies.

ChainCatcher message, Matrixport stated on platform X that since the March Cancun upgrade (Dencun), Ethereum blockchain revenue has significantly declined. Historical data shows that ETH prices are closely related to revenue fluctuations, and some analysts even calculate the yield by dividing annual revenue by Ethereum's market capitalization. The sharp decline in revenue suggests that ETH may experience a pullback. However, from August to September, Ethereum revenue has doubled, indicating that the most severe decline may have ended. If this trend continues, ETH may welcome a rebound.

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport released today's chart report, stating that academic papers often explore how Bitcoin enhances investors' Sharpe ratio, improves portfolio diversification, and reduces overall volatility for institutional investors. Multiple aspects also confirm the benefits of including Bitcoin in a portfolio. However, a more direct approach is to emphasize Bitcoin's continued outstanding performance compared to other assets. In 2024, this trend continues, with Bitcoin's year-to-date return exceeding 53%, providing substantial returns for investors.It is reported that the Sharpe Ratio is an important financial metric used to measure the risk-adjusted return of an investment. It was proposed by Nobel laureate William Sharpe and aims to help investors assess the performance of their portfolios. A high Sharpe ratio indicates that the portfolio has achieved higher excess returns for the level of risk taken, and is generally considered to perform well. A low Sharpe ratio may suggest that the portfolio's returns have not effectively compensated for the risks taken.
