The report highlights that by 2025, Layer 1 blockchain competition has entered a new phase characterized by the triad of performance, application-specific scenarios, and incentive mechanisms. It emphasizes that technological innovation, enhanced user experience, and the sustainability of ecosystem incentives are key factors for project success.

Gate Research: Between May 13 and May 26, 2025, BTC broke above 110,000 USDT to reach a new all-time high and maintained an upward trend, while ETH entered a consolidation phase.

Overall liquidations in the derivatives market were dominated by long positions, reflecting strong buying interest during the high-level consolidation. The quantitative analysis applied a "Bollinger Band Reversal Strategy", which delivered an annualized return exceeding 66% on ETH under the optimal parameter set.
