The market experienced a sharp correction earlier this week. In addition to the higher-than-expected unemployment rate in the United States causing everyone to price in a recession, the selling of "Jump" tokens was also considered to be one of the triggers.
On June 20, there were rumors that Jump Trading was being investigated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Just four days later, Jump Crypto President Kanav Kariya announced his resignation on his social platform without explicitly mentioning the reason for his resignation. Recently, Jump Trading redeemed a sum of $410 million worth of wstETH (120,000 pieces) in batches into ETH and then transferred it to trading platforms such as Binance/OKX. Within 24 hours on August 5, Jump Trading transferred another 17,576 ETH (about $46.78 million) to CEX. According to Scopescan monitoring, Jump's positions are currently dominated by USDC and USDT.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, also posted on social media that he learned through traditional financial sources that a "big guy" had collapsed and sold all his crypto assets. This so-called "big guy" is most likely Jump Trading.

Perhaps due to the launch of “Matr1x” token MAX, “GameFi” has become popular again this week. Perhaps because of the sluggish market sentiment, the popularity of the "MEME" currency "Neiro" on "SOL" has dropped significantly. But the biggest hot spot in the Solana ecology this week is not a meme. As an experimental hackathon project, "Ore" once caused congestion on the Solana network. Its token price attracted attention. The second phase of the project immediately attracted countless attention as soon as it was launched this week. , Recommended reading:

Users do not need to complete all tasks. To qualify for the MoveDrop program and get the first resource, just complete 10% of the tasks of one of the guilds. The rest is up to the user."
