ETH

lefix

The cycle only exists for BTC, and to limited extend ETH, everything else just gets replaced by new altcoins with every cycle.

Crypto_future_V

Tokenized stocks on ETH could be huge if done right what do you think?

Personally I just use the Venmo card and have it use my rewards to buy ETH every month. It’s a 3-2-1 card. Meaning 3% back for highest spend category, 2% for next, 1% back for all other purchases.

I'm still counting on that - i traded a large bag of ETH for ADA and this was a terrible decision.

Not a panic. Just slow pressure while BTC holds structural ground and alts absorb the damage. Fear at 46 is where disciplined money pays attention and emotional money makes mistakes. USDT volume at 40% of market cap is the real headline — capital rotating to safety, not permanently exiting. Today’s full signal breakdown: BTC — BUY. Conviction 68/100. 3:1 R/R. Entry $74,500–$78,500. Target $99,000. Holding $77,800 while everything else bleeds. Last man standing in a red market. Large stablecoin volume suggests capital is parked and waiting not permanently leaving. SOL — HOLD. Conviction 55/100. -3% but tracking broad market weakness not Solana-specific distribution. $80 is the critical support level. Ecosystem DEX volume still elevated. SOL doesn’t need your panic today — it needs your patience. ETH — HOLD. Conviction 42/100. -3.2% and underperforming BTC. $2,150 is the line — a daily close below that flips to SELL. Watch ETH/BTC ratio for early warning. WIF — SELL. Conviction 22/100. -10.1% with 46% volume-to-market-cap. Distribution warning active. When 46% of a coin’s market cap trades in 24 hours and price drops 10% that’s a coordinated exit not volatility. UNCRAFT — SELL. Conviction 12/100. +76.6% on 365% volume-to-market-cap on a $6M cap coin. That’s not accumulation — that’s an exit window. The disciplined move is to take profit not chase. Fear at 46 is the uncomfortable middle. When F&G climbs back to 60+ you’ll wish you bought here. Not financial advice. Signal over noise. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Crypto-Bets

Yes. People have a stronger preference for Winners like BTC, ETH, and SOL. Risk & reward doesn’t favor most crypto.

AlgonikHQ

Quick version: you can only cold-store what's unbonded. Anything actively staked on Kraken stays there until you unstake (ETH and SOL have unbonding periods, days to weeks). Once unbonded, send to your cold wallet address, one asset at a time, small test send first. And yes, future staking rewards keep accruing to the Kraken wallet unless you unstake entirely. Most people either sweep them to cold periodically or just leave them to compound. What cold wallet are you planning to use, Ledger, Trezor, something else?

That’s the whole point of crypto. You can’t use government bullshit to take your funds. It’s not a good thing ETH was able to freeze it. What happens when the gov tells them to freeze your funds. If you have BTC they can’t.

Think-Sector-6329

the bigger the risk os less BTC vs ETH and more selling now, then buying back higher in 3-4 months. If I had to choose, I'd probably sell the one I have less long-term conviction in. Thatusually makes more sense than trying to game short-term volatility. Try to use tools like blueblocx. It can help too if you want more context before re-entering

Patient-Bumblebee

Execution might be good on Bybit or Bitmex but the fees are atrocious. If you care about total execution costs (not just spread), which you should, if you are serious, opting for a zero fee exchange instead can save you soooo much money. Think about it: 0.05% fee on every trade. That dwarfs any spreads you might pay (0.01-0.02% on BTC/ETH perps).

Lower-Instance-4372

for kids, a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor is the go-to since you control the keys and can eventually hand over control to them as they get older. if you want to put some ETH to work while they hold it, liquid staking protocols like EtherFi let you stake and keep the withdrawal keys yourself rather than handing them to the protocol, which lines up nicely with the whole 'your keys, your coins' philosophy you're probably already teaching.

BTC sitting at 75.5k down almost a percent, ETH at 2,306 doing the same thing, XRP barely moving. But then I look at the gainers section and RAVE is casually up 83% in 24 hours. DENT up 34%. ON up 31%. Meanwhile on the losers side you got A2Z down 31% and GUN down 26%. So basically the market is flat to red but small caps are going absolutely nuts in both directions. This is the part that gets me. BTC volume is 103M, ETH is 11M, but then ASTEROID which literally nobody talks about has 3.2M in volume. Whole market's red. BTC down, ETH down, XRP barely breathing.

The USDC shift is basically a card-issuer decision, not a user one. Circle lined up deals with Coinbase and MetaMask Metal to default new loads to USDC because Ethereum USDC has cleaner regulatory coverage in US/EU. USDT still wins on Tron-based cards (UPay, CryptoPay, SpectroCoin) because TRC-20 gas is \~$1 vs $5-10 for ETH USDC, which matters a lot when you're topping up $200-500. The split is really regional: USDC in US/EU cards, USDT in Asia/SEA.

ddbbccoopper

Exactly. ETH is a shark-duck that lives in trees. What is the latest *(enter obscure world city name)* upgrade to make the next change-de-jour? From world computer, BTC killer, ESG conforming PoS, massive upgrade proto-danksharding. ETH is a mishmash of technobabble, buzzword-salad to lure people into buying the garbage.

CryptoOnTheSidewalk

I usually pull from the more volatile side like ETH because short gaps can miss sharper moves, while BTC tends to behave a bit more predictably, but either way there’s real timing risk over just 3 to 4 months so you have to accept you might re-enter higher.

Old-Cornerr

the throughput thing is misunderstood in both directions honestly. ethereum L1 being 15-30 tps isn't the adoption bottleneck anymore, L2s handle thousands today and users mostly don't know which layer they're on. pectra and the 2027 upgrades matter more for validator economics and data availability than end-user speed, which is already solved where it needed to be. the ETF-staking angle is the bigger unknown. if staked-ETH ETFs get approved in 2026 you're right that effective float drops, but the magnitude depends on what fee rate providers charge on staking yield. if BlackRock takes 30% and you get 70% of \~3.5% yield, that's \~2.4% net to hold a levered bet on crypto, not competitive with T-bills at current rates. might still pass because ETF holders optimize for exposure + tax wrapper not yield, but the marginal buyer pool is smaller than price-target threads assume. RWA / tokenization is the one that's actually under-discussed imo. BlackRock's BUIDL crossing $5B isn't about ETH price, it's about ETH becoming settlement infra for tradfi, which is a totally different demand curve than "buy ETH the token."

RealP2PMarket

Price action doesn’t equal real adoption. ETH and SOL are heavily used, no doubt — but mostly within crypto itself (trading, DeFi, NFTs). The real question is: where is actual everyday usage? Can you easily buy a car, equipment, or real assets with it? Can you find sellers around you accepting crypto? Until that layer exists, we’re still mostly circulating value inside the system, not expanding it into the real economy.

piggleii

Vitalik says: "One must appreciate the profound dialectical tension here: while detractors decry it as history's ultimate scam, the underlying protocol layers continue their inexorable march toward scalable, decentralized coordination mechanisms that transcend mere tokenomics. As for my own humble contributions, one might ponder the philosophical implications of strategically offloading millions in ETH precisely at those cyclical lows, thereby reinforcing the very liquidity pools that sustain the ecosystem's long-term antifragility."

crossy1686

I'm not shilling anything, I hold ETH, SOL, and BTC, but it sounds like you're in deep and unable to reflect or even understand what is going on in the development space. I'm a developer in this space and I can tell you for certain that SOL is much more developer friendly. ETH is fragmented compared to SOL, it constantly presents architecture and UX decisions that have to be made, you have to support Mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Polygon, each with their own bridges, gas tokens, and liquidity pools. due to its modular design it forces you to choose between Layer-1 and a range of Layer-2 environments, each with different tradeoffs in tooling, liquidity, and UX. It's a nightmare. Everything on Solana happens on a single layer which makes Solana much faster, and gives UX consistency. You don't need to manage bridging logic or offload execution elsewhere. This means that every dApp on Solana can interact with every other dApp instantly, without bridging. On Ethereum, if your dApp lives on Base and wants to compose with something on Arbitrum, you're building async bridging infrastructure. On Solana, you just call it. Solana transaction costs are around $0.00025, which means you can execute strategies that would be impossible on ETH at any layer. If you're building a game, a payments app, or anything with high transaction volume per user, ETH L1 is a non-starter and even L2s can still be 100-1000x more expensive than SOL. You simply can't charge a user a dime every time they do something in your app. A few things that show Solana's momentum: * Solana has surpassed Ethereum in weekly dApp revenue for five consecutive weeks, with Ethereum now sitting in third place behind Solana and Hyperliquid * Solana is coming off a year of 186% year-over-year revenue growth * Solana processes over 50% of global DEX volume

My mom passed away in 2016 and I was left a little bit of money, enough for a nice 2-week vacation lets say. And I met this local expat guy while out surfing in Costa Rica and later I met him and his girlfriend for dinner and drinks. At dinner, he explained the whole BTC blockchain technology to me, which I thought was a total bullshit Ponzi scheme. Fast forward a couple of months and I see one of these BTC vending machines on the UCSB campus. I thought, what the hell, and bought 3 BTC thinking, “if anything, if it is a Ponzi maybe I'll get in early enough that I can at least make a couple thousand bucks. Fast forward about a year later and each one was worth $1200-$1300. I cashed one to get my money back and saved the other two. Then a year later each one was worth $16K, so I sold another one and kept one. I ended up going back down to Costa Rica in January of 2020 and met up with the EX Pat guy. The guy now has an incredible house right on the ocean and I hung out with him for a week he obviously did well with all the BTC he purchased… This time he tells me that ETH is the next BTC and that I should definitely buy some. ETH in early 2020 was like $125-$149 give or take. I get home and two months later Covid hits and I'm stuck at home and I see ETH was like 115 dollars, I knew by this guy's house and lifestyle he was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky, so I said, “F it it's the end of the world anyway YOLO” and bought 50 ETH! Boom! Within a year, 50 ETH was worth $60K, I cashed enough to buy another BTC. Then in 2021 AGAIN a year later in March, BTC and ETH are at ATH crazy money… The rest is history. No bullshit! And no I didn't buy more of either. I cashed everything put a down payment on a house in the US and bought a house in Costa Rica. All because I was making stupid decisions and got lucky. I also started spending ridiculous amounts of money on stupid shit. I'm lucky I still have a house to still live in now and can Airbnb Costa house, which pay pays for the upkeep the and my vacations down there. 🫡🤙

Why 50/50 when ETH has a much lower market cap and imo does not have the same moat. Ethereum has potential competitors that could displace it, BTC does not. I would weight no more than 80/20 personally.

sks143

ETH is not slow, fees are at the lowest they’ve ever been, even with peak usage, making layer 2s obsolete. it’s a matter of time till everyone catches up. till then keep stacking my friend.

TheSleepySuni

I’m trying to expand my crypto setup and looking for a **reliable hot wallet**. I understand that cold wallets are safer in general but maybe there is something you can recommend in this scenario. Ideally I want something: * easy to use / accessible (mobile-friendly) * non-custodial (I control my funds) * and if possible, something that doesn’t fully depend on seed phrases or at least has safer recovery options I understand seed phrases are usually unavoidable, but I’m curious if there are any wallets today that improve on that experience or reduce reliance on them. Right now I’m just exploring options, so I’d like to know: * What hot wallets are you currently using and why? * Any that you consider “safe enough” for daily use? * Or if you still recommend just sticking to the usual (MetaMask / Trust Wallet / etc.), I’m open to that too. My target cryptocurrency to store in these are a mix of BTC, ETH, Jasmy, and other shitcoins.

AlgonikHQ

Real question isn't which to sell, it's which one rebuying higher would hurt more. That's the one you keep. My own bias: BTC stays untouched, fixed DCA, anchor position. Tactical moves come out of anything else. ETH has more beta both ways, so timing matters more there. Biggest trap: "3-4 months" in crypto is a full cycle leg. Build the re-entry plan *before* you sell, price levels or scheduled DCA. Most people who sell "temporarily" end up watching the chart cope-posting on Reddit six months later. Not advice, just someone who's made the mistake.

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

Yeah this comes up a lot in our group chats too, especially when people start thinking long term about BTC. From what I understand, the idea is that even if most people “hodl,” there’s still enough activity over time to generate fees, especially if Bitcoin ends up being used more for large transfers or settlement rather than everyday payments. Some of my friends compare it to like a backbone layer, not something you swipe for coffee. On the fees part, I don’t think base layer BTC is ever gonna be super cheap consistently. People I know usually bring up stuff built on top for that reason, since the main chain staying kinda expensive is what keeps it secure. As for chains, our group is kinda split the same way. Everyone holds some BTC and ETH just because it feels like the safe core, then people branch out into stuff like SOL or newer chains depending on what they’re into. No one fully agrees though, it changes every few months depending on what’s pumping or getting attention.

Apprehensive-Cry354

Most of the bleed happens when leverage gets overstuffed and the market starts chopping sideways, funding rates stay positive, OI stays high, but price isn't moving. That's when longs slowly get squeezed. Right now ETH funding rates just flipped positive after being negative for a week, and OI is still rebuilding after a $2B deleveraging event. This is the part of the cycle where the trap usually sets in, everyone gets bullish on the rate flip, but the real move doesn't come until OI starts expanding with it. CoinLobster.com free funding/OI dashboard makes it easy to track whether the market is actually positioning or just faking a direction. No need to guess, just watch whether positive funding is actually pulling OI higher. That's the difference between noise and a signal

The staking ETF angle matters more because it changes portfolio construction. A spot ETH ETF with 3% to 4% staking yield starts competing with income producing assets from pure beta trades. That means allocators can justify larger weights and longer holding periods because the asset is paying them to stay in the position.

No leverage. Just stay with ETH and BTC 90% or greater of crypto investments. Use monthly candle chart to buy at lows and sell on the highs for longterm. Don't get greedy. Big swings mean a lot money(50%-100%) while being safe.

SpontaneousDream

LOL I can't belive people still believe this utter bullshit. None of what you said matters when virtually zero value accrues to the ETH token. There are no spot buybacks of ETH using protocl revenue (which is peanuts anyways). Burns are easily offset by new issuance. ETH/BTC has been down for almost a decade...

RealCryptoCrank

Remember. We do not have quarterly reports for crypto like stocks. So when you “invest” the determining factor for the product is …does it still have devs working? Gaining partnerships? Being used in real world use cases? These are a must for me to even think about investing. My portfolio for institutional bullrun/institutional bear market is BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, TRX, HYPE.

Zestyclose-Suit-2858

SOL is even more garbage than ETH. At least ETH was kind of semi organic in its infancy (Vitalik was mad about his Warlock getting nerfed in WoW).

CaptainTrader32

Your take highlights the core shift: Ethereum’s story is increasingly about utility, not just price. Scaling upgrades (like proto-danksharding and beyond) are indeed aimed at drastically improving throughput and lowering costs via rollups, though “Visa-level” speed depends on how L2 adoption evolves. On ETFs, staking inclusion would be a meaningful structural change—turning ETH into a yield-bearing institutional asset—but it still depends on regulatory clarity. The BlackRock tokenization angle and stablecoin dominance also support Ethereum’s relevance.

decentralised_cash

Trust wallet is not to be trusted. Use BlueWallet for Bitcoin, MetaMask for ETH.

side0797

honestly the PAXG integration is the only reason i even bothered looking into the Base58 Labs docs . most platforms just offer the standard ETH/SOL liquid staking which you can get anywhere . bridging actual digital gold into a compliant yield-generating setup is something different. i signed up for the waitlist just to see if the early access benefits are actually worth it, but who knows how long until public launch. beats holding fiat right now anyway.

Unclebob9999

You are taking a gamble, that right now is looking pretty good, best of Luck. Biden destroyed the value of the Dollar by over printing, cyber coins have a lot of advantages over the dollar. Cyber currency has the potential to eliminate the majority of illegal financial transitions when combined with A.I. This would be an IRS dream come true and a nightmare for the Banks, and anyone currently working for cash to avoid paying taxes. ETH may have some advantages over Bitcoin in the future. We are pawns in the game and Big $$ and greedy Politicians can control which way things go in the future. So there are no sure things!

Cryptocaller

I participated in the Mainframe Token air drop and used multiple ETH addresses. I got $14k (peak ATH) of MFT in an airdrop and just sat on it as the price plummeted. Eventually I traded it all for 6 XMR. I participated in the BOMB token airdrop and received 200 BOMB which quickly ran to $14 per token making my free airdrop worth $2800. I just sat on it again but now those tokens are only worth $41 total. So those decisions did not work out at all. Well, aside from the 6 Monero tokens gained for free I suppose.

Lower-Instance-4372

the biggest thing i wish i understood earlier, custody matters more than returns early on. learn the difference between keeping crypto on an exchange vs. a self-custody wallet - exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken are fine to start but you don't truly own the assets. once you're comfortable, protocols like EtherFi let you stake ETH while keeping your own withdrawal keys, unlike Lido which holds them for you. start small, learn the basics, and don't rush.

We didn’t get a 2024/5 alt season cause 1. There’s a million alt coins. Buyers were diluted across infinite coins. 2. There wasn’t as many participants cause money was being made elsewhere. Stonks were ripping. Degens got their hits elsewhere. 3. Normies with relatively low net worth didn’t have the money to YOLO into alt-coins this cycle cause they struggled to pay their bills. 4. Who cares about stupid alt-coins? There’s some blue chip layer 1 alts, but those didn’t lose investors due to stables. They lost investors cause their narratives got cloudy for a minute. Don’t worry. ETH and SOL have bright futures.

Do you want a free market or not? I've been around crypto long enough to remember when Coinbase was taking all sorts of heat because they only listed BTC, ETH, and LTC while other exchanges were offering 100 different coins already. Ultimately these are exchanges, as long as users are properly warned of the risks I don't think it is their moral duty to determine which of these coins are "legit" - considering roughly 90% of all coins are going to 0 in the long run.

ChangeHeroOfficial

people will always argue price but the staking ETF angle is the one worth watching. ETH sitting idle in funds is one thing, ETH locked for yield is a completely different supply story. the BlackRock tokenization choice is also hard to ignore, they don't pick chains randomly.

__redruM

There are investments that will almost always recover from their bottom. Stock market index funds certainly. If QQQ or VOO dips, it’s safe to buy. BTC and ETH may also have that luxury, though 2022 took a while to recover. But there’s no reason to expect a random crypto project to recover from a dip.

The premium on Binance P2P in India is brutal, like 3-5% sometimes which eats into your SIP gains pretty fast. I was in a similar spot and started checking other P2P platforms... ended up using BitValve for some of my buys and the spreads were noticeably tighter, though it depends on the day and available sellers tbh. As for SOL specifically... doing a SIP is fine in theory but you're putting all eggs in one basket. maybe split between SOL and ETH or BTC? just a thought. Tax wise you're looking at 30% flat on gains + 1% TDS on every transaction above 10k. Keep records of EVERY buy, the date, amount in INR, quantity. You'll need it at tax time. A lot of people ignore this and then panic during ITR filing lol Not financial advice obviously but the SIP approach itself is solid, dollar cost averaging works. The premium is your real enemy here.

Lower-Instance-4372

same tbh - after getting wrecked chasing narratives last cycle i basically stopped looking at anything that doesn't have real utility. been shifting toward ETH-based yield instead; staking via EtherFi earns standard staking rewards plus EigenLayer restaking on top, all non-custodial. Rocket Pool and Lido are solid options too, but EtherFi is the only major one where you keep your own validator withdrawal keys, which matters a lot to me.

“But the tech!” They all cried in unison. I think it’s been proven a million times over by now that no one actually cares about the tech because 90% don’t understand it, don’t care to understand it, and never will. The only thing people care about is the price action, especially the casual speculator. In your list you left out SOL, which totally ate ETH’s lunch for the entirety of last year. As with all these technologies, until there is a genuine use case that requires people to use the network without even realising they’re using the network the price action will be poor. In the future, companies are going to build on the blockchain more, look at prediction markets, some lean into crypto, some hide the fact they are crypto, but they’re all built of blockchains. This will happen more and more in the next few years, the question you need to ask yourself is will anyone bother to build this stuff on ETH or will they build on a network that’s more friendly?

LiquidityCompass

Good points on fundamentals, but markets don’t price “what could happen in 2026–2027” in a straight line. ETH having real usage and infrastructure is clear. The question is when that actually translates into flows and price, not just narratives. Right now it feels more like strong long-term story vs unclear short-term catalyst.

HoldCtrlW

Good time to short here. I've been shorting ETH since start of the month. Easy money, any time it goes up just short.

Classic-Direction778

lmao this is almost exactly my story except I didn't even have the conviction you did. I took a loan against my ETH in like mid 2022 because I wanted to buy a car and didn't want to sell. Then ETH kept dumping and suddenly I'm scrambling to top up collateral at 2am on a Tuesday. The car was nice though. Ended up just forgetting about the loan for a while, ETH came back, paid it off eventually and still have my stack. Sometimes the best strategy is just being too lazy to panic sell. Mine wasn't even a crypto decision really but I aped into SOL at like $9 because someone in a discord said "trust me." That's it. That was the research. Sold way too early obviously but still walked away up like 4x.

The comments saying 5000, some saying back to 800. People focused on arguing about price but completely ignored what ETH is actually doing. ETH's biggest problem is slow. It can only handle about 30 transactions per second, it's slow and expensive, everyone knows. But the Ethereum team has two big upgrades planned for 2026 and when those are done it's not just a little bit faster, it's like dozens of times faster. Then there's another one coming in 2027 and by then the whole network should be processing transactions faster than swiping your Visa. Then it won't be slow or expensive to use anymore. Another thing people barely talk about is the ETF side. ETH ETFs already got approved, but the ETH inside them is basically just sitting there and cannot be staked. It is kind of like owning a stock that pays yield, except the fund tells you that yield does not go to you. The SEC has a new chair now and the tone has become a lot softer. If staking gets allowed in 2026, then institutions would not just be buying ETH to hold it. They would be buying something that can also earn yield. And once ETH inside ETFs gets locked up for staking, that means even less supply is out there to be sold. The on chain side kinda interesting too. BlackRock, which is about as big as it gets, chose Ethereum for tokenized assets. Not because ETH is the fastest chain, but because it has been around the longest and people trust it not to break. Stablecoins are still huge on Ethereum too, and every transfer uses ETH in some way. That is why I do not really buy the idea that ETH is only being propped up by speculation. There are still real things happening on it every day. And all those ETH killers everyone was hyped about? DOT ADA AVAX? Go look at them now. Meanwhile stuff that left Ethereum is coming back,like Polymarket and Synthetix. I was also watching the order book on bydfi for a while and buyers were way heavier than sellers. Price got down at one point and bounced right back up. Thats means down there is buying everything. I honestly don't know where ETH will be next year but it really feels like it's about to make some big moves *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Here are the latest net flows for the US spot ETFs as of April 21, 2026: |Asset|Daily Net Inflow|Recent Streak| |:-|:-|:-| |**Bitcoin (BTC)**|**$11.8 million** |6 consecutive days of inflows | |**Ethereum (ETH)**|**$43.4 million** |9 consecutive days of inflows | # 🔍 Who is Buying Right Now? The buying activity is heavily concentrated among large institutions, with a clear leader emerging. * **BlackRock is the Dominant Buyer**: The world's largest asset manager is leading the charge for both assets. On April 21 alone, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw **$39.3 million** in inflows, while its Ethereum products (ETHA and ETHB) pulled in over **$52 million** combined . A day earlier, on April 20, the firm bought over **3,350 BTC and 38,280 ETH** in a single day . * **MicroStrategy is a Major Corporate Buyer**: The business intelligence firm continues to aggressively accumulate Bitcoin. Over the recent week, MicroStrategy spent **$2.54 billion** to add **34,164 BTC** to its holdings, surpassing BlackRock to become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin . * **Other Institutional Activity**: "Whales" (large holders) have accumulated over **45,000 Bitcoin** in the past week, the highest pace since July 2025 . Additionally, asset manager Bitmine added **101,627 ETH** in the third week of April, marking its largest single-week purchase of the year . # 📈 What's Driving These Flows? The movement of capital into crypto ETFs is being driven by a few key factors: * **ETF Momentum and Access**: Spot ETFs provide a familiar, regulated way for traditional institutions like pension funds and wealth managers to gain exposure to crypto without directly holding the assets . The recent consistent inflows indicate that many see current price levels as an attractive entry point . * **Macroeconomic and Political Climate**: The market has been buoyed by news that the US-Iran ceasefire has been extended, which has boosted overall market confidence . Furthermore, recent statements from Kevin Warsh, the nominee for Federal Reserve Chair, that "crypto is now part of the US financial system" have reinforced the asset class's growing mainstream acceptance . * **A Shift Towards Ethereum**: While Bitcoin ETFs have seen massive inflows in the past, the data for April 21 shows a clear rotation of *new* capital favoring Ethereum. This suggests institutional investors are now increasing their allocation to Ethereum, possibly viewing it as a more established part of a long-term crypto portfolio . This is supported by a 41% increase in Ethereum's daily transaction volume and the mint of 1 billion new USDT on its network, which are signs of growing on-chain activity . # 📊 A Note on Outflows and Mixed Signals It's important to note that not all products are seeing inflows. The positive net numbers are driven by a few specific funds, masking outflows from others. * **Grayscale's Products are Seeing Outflows**: The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and Ethereum Trust (ETHE) saw outflows of **$17.5 million** and **$12.1 million** respectively on April 21 . This is a long-running trend as investors move from Grayscale's higher-fee products to newer, cheaper spot ETFs. * **Mixed Flows Among Issuers**: While BlackRock is buying, other major issuers like Fidelity and Bitwise saw outflows from their Bitcoin ETFs on the same day, highlighting that strategies vary among institutions . In summary, institutional investors, led by **BlackRock** and **MicroStrategy**, are the primary buyers, accumulating both Bitcoin and Ethereum via spot ETFs. While Bitcoin has seen massive accumulation, **Ethereum is currently attracting more fresh capital** on a daily basis. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I forgot to make a ethereum bottom prediction. https://www.tradingview.com/x/rU6ixp7J/ Ethereum has been in a parabolic downtrend against bitcoin since the merge. I think Bitcoin is subject to diminishing returns and crypto is inherently valuable, so I think Ethereum (which has the most adoption, most developer brainpower, and most advanced (by far) support ecosystem) will go up relative to bitcoin. That happens in 2027. The clarity act + dropping interest rates will also help out defi post-2027, which should support the ETH/BTC ratio. That being said, I think bitcoin crashes to 35K. And the ratio line is 0.0185. 35000*0.0185 is 650. So I think we see sub-700 Ethereum prices before the bear market ends.

Aerocryptic

That's a horrible take. Most of the people I know mostly invested in ETH in 2017. Maybe a few % on ICOs but I don't know a single person who was degen enough to go all in on these ICOs. Everyone knew that most were vaporware and would fail. Anyone who bought ETH between 2017 and 2020 made some very respectable gains. On the other hand the Solana trenches were full of memecoin maxis. Only a few of them made money from pumpfun

SeriousGains

TRON is actively working on it and will adopt well before ETH and BTC.

EdgeQuiet2199

Mid 50s BTC / $1.4k ETH isn’t a wild call, but feels a bit “old cycle logic.” With ETFs and bigger players now, dips don’t always get that deep. Also geopolitics isn’t one-directional — sometimes it actually supports BTC. Shorts can work, just feels risky waiting for a perfect bottom that may not come this time.

EdgeQuiet2199

No fixed ETH→Eclipse rate, it depends on when the swap happened. Price is down a lot from 2025 highs, so if they bought near the top, they’re likely in loss right now. Best way is to check the wallet/tx history — that’s the only way to get the exact value.

Choice_Potato_6279

Would you agree that ETH casino destroyed more lifes than all of the SOL meme coins and ponzis like Bitconnect? There was a ton of people here that in 2017 thought they are investing in the new worlwide decentralized infrastructure and put tons of money on Ethereum chain in ICO's. Pumpfun is attacked a lot, Terraluna whatever happened there... but I think the most normal people got destroyed on ETH, on pumpfun at least people know it's a casino.

i'd stop obsessing over price and focus earlier on making my holdings work passively - staking, yield, etc. i wasted years just holding and watching charts. now i have ETH staked through EtherFi, earning dual yield from both regular staking rewards and EigenLayer restaking, non-custodial the whole time. Rocket Pool is another great non-custodial option. the compounding from yield strategies does more for your stack long-term than most trades honestly.

Drumroll-PH

Good start. The main thing is don't check it every hour lol. If you ever want your crypto to do more than just sit there, ETH staking is worth exploring when you're ready. EtherFi and Rocket Pool both let you stake non custodially while keeping your own keys, unlike Lido or Coinbase staking where they hold them for you. For now though just hold, learn how self custody wallets work, and don't put in more than you can afford to lose.

MinimalGravitas

> Exclude everything centralized by outcome, because their blockchains are so bloated that **nodes are expensive to run,** which makes the node network very small - ETH and all the other so-called "smart chains" Where have you got this idea from? You can run an Ethereum node on a Raspberry Pi: https://ethereum-on-arm-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html And there are many thousands running around the world: https://chainbound.grafana.net/public-dashboards/d001850804e1454fa24852c9dd82db97 I don't know the links for other ecosystems network dashboards, but I'm pretty sure that lots of other smart contract chains (e.g. Cardano, Cosmos, etc) also have low enough requirements that you can run nodes on Raspberry Pi equivalent hardware. Whoever told you that running nodes for Ethereum etc is expensive was just lying to you. They knew you wouldn't check and so just say whatever will manipulate you into investing more in the asset they hold. What other bullshit narratives have they fed you?

Liskpro_com

Great idea, bro! Long-term BTC/ETH exposure has historically outperformed most savings accounts, but the setup matters a lot. **Two main approaches people use:** Custodial account (e.g., Coinbase, Kraken): easiest to set up, but you're trusting a third party. Exchanges can freeze accounts, get hacked, change terms \[you name it\]. Fine for small amounts, but "not your keys, not your coins" really applies here. Not my preferred solution, especially for long term storage. Cold wallet (self-custody): more work upfront, but you fully control the funds. This is what most serious long-term holders recommend. I'm in this team for sure. For cold storage, a hardware wallet like a Satochip, Trezor or even Jade is worth considering. Do prefer HW that are open-source of course... By the way, the smartcard format is actually nice for this use case: easy to store in a safe or safety deposit box and forget about for years. On the volatility concern: totally valid. Dollar-cost averaging monthly (which you're already planning) helps a lot. Some people keep a small cash buffer alongside so kids aren't forced to sell at a bad time.

slop_drobbler

I’m thinking circa £30k bottom for BTC before the year ends, probably around October. Around £120k top in 2029, so the opportunity to make a 4x if you time the market perfectly. People thinking we’ve already hit the bottom, or that we’re moments away from another rally are delusional imo. Trump will find another crisis to manipulate the markets with after he gets bored with Iran. Don’t give a fuck about ETH, it’s not worth bothering with any more imo

VastJuice2949

Btc. Just buy BTC. Maybe ETH.

314_999

key take-away: - the board has high confidence this type of machine (Q- computers) will eventually be built - the real vulnerability is wallet-level (looking @ you BTC; an estimated 6.9 million coins are threatened - proof-of-stake chains have additional exposure (looking @ you ETH) - developing quantum-resistant alternatives is not the hard part, its rolling them out and with significant affects on transaction speed, storage, cost. (Analogy: Have fun putting a V10 into a Corolla. step 2: floor it ;) - migrating millions of wallets across decentralized networks, where every user has to take action, is a coordination challenge unlike anything traditional finance faces (looking @ you BTC)

ec265

This sounds like toxic maxi cope I’m all for meaningful discussion on these things, but simply dismissing things is not conducive to this ETH monetary policy has never changed; it has always been minimum viable issuance ETH issuance has only ever decreased; started high to bootstrap the network (just like Bitcoin) and then has been decreased, with the last decrease happening with the transition from PoW to PoS 4 years ago - it’s quite literally all part of the plan And Ethereum is more decentralised than Bitcoin; Antpool and Foundry have over 50% of hash rate combined, and this is increasing Foundry has mined 8 blocks in a row before which also increases the risk of a reorg Meanwhile Ethereum stake concentration is much better diversified But decentralisation extends beyond nodes; you are only as decentralised as your most centralised point 99% of Bitcoin nodes use the same client implementation, whereas Ethereum has many client teams and no one client has a supermajority (above 66%) Ethereum is the only blockchain to take client diversity seriously which is what makes it the most resilient blockchain

Exclude everything that was launched as an airdrop by fraudulently inheriting the prior history of Bitcoin - BCH, BTG Exclude everything centralized by design - XRP and similar entrepreneurial projects Exclude everything centralized by outcome, because their blockchains are so bloated that nodes are expensive to run, which makes the node network very small - ETH and all the other so-called "smart chains" This leaves BTC, NMC, LTC, DOGE, XMR In recent years, apathy has led to developers drifting away from LTC and DOGE. They both still have large-enough node networks to be decentralized. But each of them is only one Core bug away from having zero nodes > the Price is volatile So? The price market isn't relevant to the question The software which runs on each Bitcoin node has no price-related functions The gold analogy is ludicrous

The Council said it acted on input from law enforcement regarding the exploiter's identity. The funds have been moved to a governance-controlled wallet and can't be accessed without further Arbitrum governance action. That's about a quarter of the total stolen recovered so far. **The official bad debt picture:** [Aave Labs and risk management firm LlamaRisk published a formal incident report](https://news.bitcoin.com/incident-report-llamarisk-aave-service-providers-detail-kelp-rseth-hack-across-ethereum-and-arbitrum-markets/) on April 20 covering two scenarios. Scenario 1: if Kelp socializes losses across all rsETH holders, the token depegs roughly 15% and Aave is left with around $124 million in bad debt spread across 7 markets. Scenario 2: if losses are isolated to L2 networks, bad debt rises to approximately $230 million concentrated on Arbitrum and Mantle. Which scenario plays out depends entirely on how Kelp decides to allocate the shortfall: that decision hasn't been made yet. The attacker split the stolen rsETH across seven wallets, deposited across Aave V3 and borrowed \~$190 million in WETH and wstETH, with loan health factors sitting between 1.01 and 1.03. Those positions are still live and can't be meaningfully liquidated while rsETH is frozen. **Liquidity situation:** Aave's WETH pool on Ethereum Core V3 has been unfrozen: users can supply WETH again and some withdrawals are processing. However WETH remains frozen on Ethereum Prime, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, and Linea. About $204 million in core USD liquidity was repaid within 48 hours as the panic subsided. AAVE token itself has recovered from a low of roughly $80 back to around $93 as confidence partially returned. **The structural exposure:** Aave's DAO treasury holds $181 million as of April 20. $62 million in ETH-correlated assets, $54 million in AAVE tokens, $52 million in stablecoins. The DAO generated $145 million in protocol revenue in 2025. Depending on which scenario unfolds, the treasury is either approximately sufficient to cover the shortfall or gets uncomfortably close to its limits. Service providers have already been securing indicative recovery commitments from ecosystem participants, which is the DeFi equivalent of calling in favours. The Kelp vs. LayerZero dispute over responsibility for the exploit is ongoing and unresolved. Kelp has not yet published how it plans to allocate losses. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Just stay with ETH and BTC 90% or greater of crypto investments. Use monthly candle chart to buy at lows and sell on the highs for longterm. Don't get greedy big swings mean a lot money while being safe.

gigabyteIO

This isn't about Algorand, stop coping. This is about ETH L2's being no better than banks.

artiface

ETH forked to revert the first DAO hack, so L1 is not really any better than L2, but that was the miners choice at the time so at least somewhat democratic.

I started out buying Butcoin, ten years ago, and only regret that I didnt buy more. My strategy was to swing trade Bitcoin by buying at below the current median price (buy the dip) then sell once it rose to 10 or 15% above the median. Rinse and repeat, hundreds of times. This strategy was designed to increase my holdings, as BTC was very volatile years ago. Of course I had to pay shirt term capital gains every year, but I didnt vare, just as day traders dont care. Now, we have better options for buying the top 4 cryptocurrencies, as the wallet storage issues and crypto taxes are a nightmare, frankly. Instead of opening a Coinbase or Gemini or other account, you can just open a Fidelity or Robinhood or Webull account instead (Webull has great offers for new accounts, too), and then simply buy ticker IBIT (Bitcoin ETF) or ticker ETHA (Ethereum ETF) or ticker GSOL (Solana ETF) or ticker XRP (Ripple ETF) after you deposit USD into your new brokerage account. A simple buy and hold strategy where you use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) to buy any of these 4, will allow you to hold crypto in ETFs, where you DO NOT HAVE TO DO CRYPTO TAXES. Instead, the brokerage will send you a 1099-B form at the end of each year, which is 20X easier than a complicated crypto tax return. I know, we do them every tear, and we have to use crypto tax software to summarize our gains. And here's the deal. The gains are the same essentially, minus a tiny ETF fee. Also, Coinbase or whatever exchange charges you a fee for every buy and every sale, so it works out to be the same capital gains purchasing via a crypto ETF with a brokerage account. This is a huge advantage that only recently became possible, when Bitcoin ETFs were launched, followed by ETH ETFs, then Solana, then XRP So, this was not even possible 4 yeaes ago, but it is now. Also, with a brokerage account, you can also invest in Strategy stock (ticker MSTR) and its new preferred dividend stock "Stretch", (ticker STRC), which pays an amazing 11.5% monthly dividend based upon MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings. So, it's now easy to have a 100% crypto based investment strategy using a brokerage account. Do it with a Roth IRA and it's an even better strategy.

As much as I love Monero and am a huge supporter of the coin, it’s probably only pumping again cus some grandpa got scammed and the scammers are trying to wash their take. I’m a big fan of Lukso (LYX). It might be useless, but it’s definitely not a scam! It’s a carbon copy of ETH with some bells and whistles on it that might keep it ready for the future, for web3, should it ever take off

bitcoin_islander

Since when is ETH scarce

ColdOverYonder

ETH cannot be frozen at the protocol level. L2s are different. BTC doesn't technically need consensus for a fork to happen. Though it can be argued that a fork without consensus is simply a shitcoin. You're right, they're not the same.

Krazygamr

Until the ETH mainnet starts being able to cause those problems, it's not going to matter. It's just another service that people try to use that exists on top of the token. Another known business entity.. aka a bank, just sitting on top of ETH trying to pretend it's NOT a bank<insert hello fellow kids meme here>. Then everyone is all surprised when the thing pretending to be a bank on infrastructure not meant for banks gets wrecked. What did you think was going to happen? That the bank on a public blockchain wouldnt become public target #1 for everyone with the skills to hit it? With *no* repercussions? (because tracing the hackers who do this is difficult to say the least.) Until the community at large adopts a proper secure model for people to follow for establishing such operations on the blockchain that organizations can reliably follow, I highly doubt you'll ever stop hearing about this.

this exact response is why crypto will never succeed. You have a clear cut case of actual fraud, harm, and possible future destruction caused by an authoritarian government. Money was stolen from every day people and will be used to basically fuel research to bomb and kill other people over seas. The only way to get this back is if 9/12 people distributed globally coming from different backgrounds, projects, and experiences VOTE to use a function built into the chain for cases exactly like this. A way to prevent harm that would ultimately cause extreme damage to the future of both their chain, and the broader ecosystem. Just so mention it again, this had to be voted on by people all over the world coming from different projects. but dont worry! redditor here is taking the moral high ground. What if they decided no one should have money!!!! dude what if they (ignoring they have literally never done this) just decide everyone should have 9999999 ETH! they can make all the rules dude bro its so unsafe man its literally never happened before and it requires a hyper majority of people from completely different projects its so its basically like 1 person deciding everything! these posts are so fucking annoying and 50% of my timeline is just people crying that PEOPLE VOTED to give money back from VICTIMS, of which NORTH KOREA STOLE. The us cant even force 50% of the council to do anything here so its completely worthless to bring up. And even if so, what makes you think if they would go that far than they wouldnt just do the same for any project? you think that the US gov wouldnt use quantum computing 5 years from now to just effectively rob every bitcoin wallet but they would round up people from across the globe to censor some transactions on some L2??

You can use ETH chart simultaneously with BTC chart to control false signals. Fifferent percentages but ETH and BTC tend to go same direction. https://preview.redd.it/lvxa3bu7vlwg1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=daa4dba771a150e9d9758420df42dba4667da1d1
