ETH

Reflect on why you thought ETH would be the best investment.

borakhot

all these ETH killer guys will end up bad, I mean their blockchains! reall people will never follow these snake oil sallers. ETH will always be the most advanced, trusted and used chain.

gluecookie

That's the dumbest thing I've read today. I think they accidently added two zeros and mean $400. ETH has no motion, it peaked in 2021/2022

Admirral

its not usual for eth to hold ratio against bitcoin while bitcoin is having a very publicized drop. I noticed the ratio rise started to reverse a bit once it was confirmed the saylor sell was actually a tax harvest (and he bought back more a few days later). Still, this all tells me that when mega-trust in bitcoin is perceived lost (i.e. someone like Saylor showing signs he is selling), seems thats when ETH confidence goes up.

Post is by: AIautoagent1 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1twtt2m/cbdcs_quietly_became_a_global_policy_priorityhow/ The big story to me right now isn’t price action — it’s that we quietly crossed a line where CBDCs went from “theoretical” to an explicit policy priority in most major economies. Pull up the Atlantic Council CBDC tracker and it’s pretty clear: China’s e-CNY is live in dozens of cities and integrated into super apps; the EU is pushing ahead with the digital euro “preparation phase”; over 130 countries are exploring CBDCs; even the IMF and BIS are openly coordinating standards and “multi-CBDC” cross‑border payment ideas. At the same time, the US is in this weird position where the Fed talks about CBDCs as “hypothetical,” but Congress and think tanks are actively debating the legal and political framework, and other digital dollar pilots are happening in the private sector. Emerging markets (Nigeria, India, Brazil, parts of the Caribbean) are furthest along in retail pilots because the incentive is obvious: more control over payments, tax collection, and capital flows. From a macro/crypto lens, CBDCs and institutional Bitcoin adoption are two sides of the same story. Governments want cheaper, more programmable rails for their own money, especially as debt/GDP keeps climbing and the political cost of inflationary policy rises. CBDCs don’t “solve” debasement; they just give the issuer better distribution and surveillance tools. At the same time, the more serious the CBDC conversation gets, the more treasurers, funds, and even pensions are warming to BTC as a neutral, bearer reserve asset alongside gold — especially as de‑dollarization chatter (BRICS, oil trade in local currencies, etc.) grinds on in the background. Personally, CBDCs accelerating makes self‑custody non‑negotiable. I keep everything off exchanges in self‑custody on a Ledger — the whole point of crypto is the exit: https://shop.ledger.com/?r=earning-hq&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=ledger. For fiat on/off and regulated exposure, I still use Coinbase as the most compliant US ramp: https://coinbase.com/join/earning-hq?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cbdc&utm_content=coinbase. Curious how everyone here is sizing CBDC risk: are you changing your BTC/ETH/stablecoin mix, doing anything different with jurisdictional risk, or just treating CBDCs as background noise?

This is the first time I've seen someone ask about crypto losses and not get flooded with people telling them to just HODL. I use Qoest API to track my ETH wallets and it helps me see exactly what's happening without panic checking prices every five minutes.

Hola, tengo 7 años con criptomonedas. Cometiste un error muy grande comprar en el precio más alto es decir compraste en zona de ventas, lo que podría hacer 2 cosas. La primera ir promediando la caida y vas comprando, y mentalizarse que ETH se podría recuperar en 3 años. La segunda sería hacer trading a corto plazo y generas ganancias en eth.

Tech wise there's 0 improvement. The only upside BNB has over ETH is the manipulation / crime ingredient

Not what I expected either. I’ve been trading crypto since 2020. Completely self-taught, completely discretionary. Over four years I went through the full emotional rollercoaster — big wins, bad losses, revenge trades, FOMO, and the one that hurt the most personally: the missed setup. You see it forming, you hesitate for one second, and it runs without you. That one is a special kind of torture. At some point I realized the strategy wasn’t really the problem. The problem was me executing it. I’d have a clear rule — “enter here, stop here” — and then talk myself out of it at the last second because it “felt wrong.” Every trader knows this feeling. So I started obsessing over one idea: what if I just removed myself from the equation entirely? I looked into automating my strategy but I have zero coding background. I tried working with my brother-in-law who’s a serious developer, but it moved incredibly slowly and never really got off the ground. I shelved the idea for a while. Then a few months ago I started hearing the term “vibe coding.” The idea that you could describe what you want in plain language and Claude would turn it into actual working code. I was skeptical honestly — like, real skeptical. But I tried it anyway. I wrote out my strategy in plain English. Entry conditions, filters, exit logic, risk parameters. Sent it to Claude. Got back working Pine Script. Ran the backtest. The edge was real. Kept going. What followed was kind of obsessive. 33 versions of my BTC strategy before I had something I was genuinely confident in. That’s not a typo — thirty-three. Each one fixing something the last one got wrong. Overfitting, edge cases, parameter sensitivity. Claude would explain what it was doing and why, so I actually understood the logic rather than just copying code blindly. Eventually I had a live bot running on my Bybit account. Then a second one for ETH. Then SOL. Watching the first trade execute automatically at 3am while I was asleep — that was genuinely surreal. The whole experience changed how I think about AI tools. It’s not about replacing expertise. I needed 4 years of actual trading experience to know what to build. Claude just removed the barrier between “I understand this” and “this is now code running on a server.” For anyone thinking about this: the vibe coding workflow is real, but it’s not magic. You still need to know what you’re asking for. The AI fills the technical gap — it doesn’t fill the knowledge gap. Happy to answer questions about the process if anyone’s curious. I also documented the whole thing in detail (including full backtest data, the 6-filter entry logic, and how the deployment actually works) at v33systematic.com — not pushing anything, just where I wrote it all up if you want to go deep on it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

liftcookrepeat

You're down, but not necessarily cooked. A lot depends on your time horizon and whether you need the money soon. If you're holding 4 ETH and can wait, an unrealized loss isn't the same as a realized one. Do you actually need to sell now, or are you able to hold through the volatility?

bimbobandit2016

All in on BNB at $600. Looks like a classic case of the Chinese copying Western technology(ETH) and improving over time till they are eventually at par. The BNB/ETH chart is telling of this and BNB will surely catch up to ETH's prices range of $2-4k by next cycle

Skillerstyles

If you haven’t sold, it’s still an unrealized loss. ETH moves hard both ways, and buying at a higher average just means you’re down on paper right now, not locked out forever. The real question is simple: do you actually still believe in ETH long term, or did you just chase and now feel stuck? If you still believe, then you basically just sit through the volatility and stop looking at the chart every hour. If you don’t, then it’s better to take the hit and reduce risk instead of hoping it comes back out of stress.

Post is by: evandollardon and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1twnrms/pick_one_crypto_to_leave_to_your_kids/ ETH for smart contracts, SOL for speed, some DeFi blue chip. Then I asked what I'd actually lock away for 20-30 years without touching. BTC is the only one where the value proposition hasn't changed since day one. Fixed supply, no foundation that can pivot, no roadmap that can fail, etc. Everything else requires you to be right about technology bets that haven't played out. BTC just requires you to believe scarcity has value, which is a bet humans have been making forever. I'd just keep it earning interest on a platform like Nехо or Krаken for the next 20-30 years, and voila, my kid will have a tuition fund. Custody planning is also solved in a way nothing else is. Inheritance planning for a protocol that might not exist in 15 years is a different conversation. So what would you pick? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Tai9ch

You're getting distracted by the distraction. Cryptocurrency as currency isn't a trillion dollar industry in 2026. All the "practical" things that are getting done are getting done at volumes that completely disappear in the noise of "BTC price went up", "BTC price went down", and "ETH went up a little but not as much as BTC". That's okay. Things don't have to get constant media coverage to be useful.

dubsy101

Yeah you nailed it. Crypto no longer seems to have the same prospects as it did a few years ago. Investments are being diverted to AI and the use case for BTC has not really been realised. The fact that ETH has done F all only seems to support this. 50K doesn't seem unreasonable. I wouldn't he surprised if it goes down to 38K

ETH will be dead in 5 years. It’s inflation mechanism is killing it.

dev_mht

The stablecoin argument alone ends the "no real use case" debate. $200B+ in stablecoins settling transactions 24/7 is real world adoption — it just doesn't look like what people expected. The agentic economy use case is still early but the rails are being built right now. Flexerrr is arguing against the 2019 version of ETH, not the 2026 version.

dev_mht

Only if you accept payment in ETH. Less liquid than it used to be but still got some left.

jwz9904

spare a thought for ETH

Adorable_Ms_G

A lot of newer investors learned this lesson the hard way during altcoin cycles. High-risk alts can drop 70–90% even without fully dying, which is why many people eventually move toward BTC/ETH for more stability.

Flexerrr

ETH is dead. Look into last 5 years graph

SeriousGains

If Bitcoin goes to 30k, ETH is definitely sub 1k.

Aerocryptic

There’s a decent probability that ETH will be one of the easiest trade for the next bull market. I don’t hold any right now. But considering how it’s hated and how fundamentals are not deteriorating, it looks like a potential trade to make in the near future

Flexerrr

Funny how I got upvoted, yet any ETH holders in past 5 years have no profit and lost to SPY lol

HeftyImprovement3847

And everyone I told mknths ago that XMR will be 5k sooner than ETH ever again, doubted me. So far on track lulz

ETH is dead, so its reasonable

ubermensch1001

Yes, I'm predominantly BTC but also have positions in ETH and ADA. I was way too heavy in alts from 2018 through 2021. I exitedbfron my alt positions back then years ago, converted my ETH into Bitcoin early 2024 and didn't touch it again until spring of last year when I made a lump sum purchase at a hair under $1400. ADA I steadily accumulated tail end of 2022 through fall of 2024 and also made a large lump sum purchase very recently. However, this year I've been predominantly BTC and plan on accumulating at a comfortable rate.

oneden

>Unless you... sold when it was up? lol, what even is that argument? One you can disagree with. But that means ETH performed worse than any boring index fund. >And why cut off at 5 years? Is it because 6 years, you'd have made money? Would you? Sure, many long time holders, but the majority have made less money than anyone that invested in the last two years in the AI craze. Just investing into SanDisk alone with a sizeable back would have set you up for life and beyond.

znv142

Price of ETH is not one of them

ubermensch1001

LOL exactly, man. Imagine buying ETH at a few hundred $ in 2018 and then watching it tank to $80 end of that year and go back down there in late 2019 and during the COVID crash. These people on here would complain about it, sell at a huge loss and in the spring of 2021 when it was trading over a couple grand they'd FOMO back in lol.

I have just set several limit orders at 50K, 40K, 1K (ETH),… You can do the same and just see it bounce from $1 distance. Self-fulfilled prophecy. You are welcome.

SeriousGains

ETH is absolute garbage, I’ve seen no reason to own it in 5+ years.

ubermensch1001

He's basically saying that there are people chasing gains with the AI IPOs while ignoring crypto. These people will get some sort of gains and along with liquidity from other places it will find it's way back to crypto, causing the market to rip. It's not rocket science, man, but the whole point is that the crypto market has been a ghost town for a while now and people are getting an opportunity here to accumulate at very steep discounts. The potential to the upside is enormous across the board, but there is no reason to even chase speculative nonsense. ETH was at almost 5k less than a year ago, ADA was trading at 70 cents last fall AFTER the 10/10 crash and SOL was at almost $250 last September. These prices currently are giving insane potential for easy swing trades for profit. BTC, which is my dominant focus for long term holding, is trading in a very strong support zone right now. Time to buy

ubermensch1001

It was honestly the ultimate crypto trade. To be able to have bought the lows there and literally just over a year later to have seen insane gains as we peaked in the spring of 2021. You literally could have put sticky notes of various alts on a wall, put a blind fold on and thrown a dart and whatever it landed was your pick and within a year you would have made crazy profits lol. I remember back then 10x my LTC and Bcash lol, which I sold years. ETH was insane but I later converted that to BTC and BTC is the only thing I'm still holding from back then haha. Crazy times.

ubermensch1001

Being exit liquidity is when you are buying the tops/euphoria, not lows. Would you rather accumulate ETH here at under $1900 or BTC at 64k or just sit completely on the sidelines hoping it for further downside that may or may NOT even happen? In 2020, did it really matter if you bought BTC at 10k vs. 7k when within a year it was going to be blow past 50k? Could BTC tank to below 60k or ETH drop back down to say $1400, sure, but there's a possibility this does not happen and there is strong potential to the upside it won't matter anyway. You will never perfectly time the top or the bottom.

LargeSnorlax

This isn't the stock market, there are no blue chips here, ETH is no different than TRX and that's no different than BNB which is no different than XRP. You're gambling over hype, not investing > In fact pretty much every major tech stock has blown btc out of the water in the past 5 years. Recency bias is silly, of course tech (ai) is overperforming in the ai boom > when the narrative of btc was digital gold. Bitcoin is a payment network, don't listen to other people telling you narratives No one should have cryptocurrency as their entire asset portfolio, it's a high risk investment with wild swings, and overperforms/underperforms depending on how it swings and trades. If you want safe go buy ETFs, no barrier to entry Either way, picking and choosing random dates to cherry pick points is pointless, you can make a million narratives, Yoyo here is going to be back here posting in a year (because he's a troll) with some other random nonsense and I'll make fun of him then too

BTC is one of the worse possible choice for that. Even ETH is better.

While the price action doesn’t suggest it, everything else does. ETH is the last and only coin that actually graduated crypto’s first grade without ever once betraying the crypto ideals.

BTC, ETH, and most of the large caps appear to be sitting right at key support levels on the weekly and monthly charts. The shakeout we saw over the last 2–3 days was pretty aggressive, but here's what caught my attention: A lot of the smaller altcoins barely even moved down. And the ones that did dip? They've already bounced back hard. To me, that's a sign that liquidity is quietly rotating into smaller caps - which historically tends to happen right before a broader market move upward. My read: we could see a strong altcoin pump soon, followed by the major coins grinding their way back toward All Time High territory. Curious what you all think though - does your analysis line up with this, or am I reading too much into it?

Saffuran

Definitely DO NOT buy right now!! XD In case you do decide to buy some in the future, fairly straightforward outlook: If BTC continues to mostly follow its pattern of weakness during mid-term years, this weakness will probably continue into Q4 (probably sometime until Oct/Nov but could technically last until January.) BTC is the tide that all other ships currently rise and fall by for the most part but there are some short-term contrarians like ZCash (privacy coin) and Hyperliquid (think of HL like a fully options market + prediction market with solid ability to hold value even in broader market downturns.) Currently, BTC is probably falling to somewhere in the 52k-48k range could go a bit farther and maybe spend some time just under 40k, but - provided it isn't going to zero (and I think that is extremely unlikely especially with institutional buy in) - I don't expect it to spend too much time below 42k durably. That is why I try to cross-correlate expectations from prior drawdowns with literally just dates on a calendar. On the way up there is rarely a reason to hold anything other than BTC early on, most everything will move up at about the same rate BTC does or less and it won't be until about a year or a year and a half into the run where capital rotation starts finding its way into ETH/SOL -- though some other contrarians like ZCash and Hyperliquid that are also high market cap within the space could be good to watch.

micskeens

Everything being discussed right now on This whole thread makes me feel like ETH will be the King eventually one day for, all these reasons mentioned . I don’t hold ETH but if it goes down to 1200$ I will .

Shit, around 2019 i had some money in both ADA and DOT, as to me they seemed promising at that time. Fortunately at some point I moved everything to ETH and BTC.  

Gold-Improvement5887

Meme coins kinda ruined everything and since there are so many new projects, the inflow money gets very diluted. IMO everything's dead besides BTC and ETH

I lost a lot of money last 3/4 years just by hodling. I made the choice last week to sell everything and just buy altcoins where institutes are investing in. So I bought ETH, SOL en XRP.

Post is by: ganxiaozhe and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://cam.xiaozhe.dev/ This is my first time posting on Reddit, written by myself rather than an LLM. My English is not very good, so the content has been translated. Please excuse any awkward wording. I got into on-chain quantitative trading at the end of 2024, mainly on Solana, and was able to stay profitable for a while. But in the past few months, on-chain liquidity has become relatively weaker, while altcoins in the secondary market seem to be starting another wave, such as RAVE. So I tried to build a secondary-market anomaly monitoring system, hoping to catch some of these assets at an early stage. The tech stack is: * Development: Bun / TypeScript * Signal source: OKX REST + WebSocket * Databases: Redis and PostgreSQL The logic is similar to what I used in on-chain trading: if a token’s trading volume increases significantly within a certain period of time, it may be starting a one-sided move. In the secondary market, I currently use the following as trigger conditions: * 15m price movement * 15m volume expansion compared with recent averages * short-window ticker changes, as an early signal * spread and liquidity filters For example: the current 15m price movement must be at least 3.5%, and the current 15m trading volume must be at least 2.5x the average of the previous 20 candles. Although this is a very simple anomaly detection rule, I have always believed that simplicity is often the right direction. If something becomes too complicated, then either it is wrong, or the problem itself has been confused. After testing it for a while, I found a few problems: Signals before the US stock market opens are usually of lower quality. Sometimes they can even be interpreted as reverse signals. The current system mainly monitors 15m periods, so it usually only triggers when volume has already expanded. In some cases, however, larger players may accumulate quietly first, then attract retail traders during the high-volume move and sell into them. I do not yet have a good way to identify this. I am also still thinking about a few questions: * Should I add a broader market sentiment filter, such as short-term trends in BTC / ETH / TOTAL3? * Should different thresholds be used for tokens with different market caps and liquidity levels? * Should I add accumulation detection, instead of only volume spike detection? * Is this system worth open-sourcing? Any feedback on the detection logic, system architecture, UI presentation, or market structure would be very welcome. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Any theories on how this will affect ETH?

Crazy how few people know about QRL. It is the best, most secure PQ chain Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible plus fixed supply at 105 million. Crypto agile means they can keep improving. Only EVM chain so far that has demonstrated Ethereum level performance. I wouldn’t put my money counting on every ETH holder to act, act thoroughly (migrate everything), and in perfect coordination with others. Just move your project over to QRL. Why not?

CM19901

ETH has more potential.

heyheyshinyCRH

ETH imo, sol raged in popularity for awhile because of all the memecoin pump and dumps but I think people are over that shit now. I'm going in on ETH over BTC because it just has more potential in every facet of the space but especially in terms of price action. I think ETH can 5x well before BTC can and I'm looking to capitalize on that.

Chemical_Set_7647

And yet, considering the price, ETH is dropping around the similar percentage.

stormaxis26

ADA is a tough one and honestly a lot of long term holders across multiple alts are feeling exactly this right now one thing this kind of experience changed for me is how i think about holding. just sitting on a position hoping for appreciation while it bleeds is the worst of both worlds. at minimum if you're going to hold crypto long term it should be earning yield while you wait shifted a lot of my holdings to BTC and ETH on Nexo specifically so they're at least generating passive income while i hold. not a fix for a bad entry on a bad asset but it changes the math on any long term position you're actually confident in.

Zealousideal-Bus4712

not really a pullback. ETH failed to hold anywhere near ATH from last cycle. more like a failed breakout and chop / steady downward grind while the rest of the market experiences a blowoff top. not a good look.

CLcode83

What is the business revenue of bitmine? If it is buying ETH by selling shares, it going no good. Dilution of shares holders in a bear market is double worse

Available_Win5204

What I do appreciate about the Amazon analogy in this case is the argument that the vast majority of investors base the value and success of the asset on its price. That is happening with ETH. Whether or not the underlying infrastructure of the ecosystem and the token themselves is "worth" more is a separate issue, but it is certainly worth noting that it isn't really being evaluated for more than its historic price performance. A very clear example of this is the fact that ETH follows BTC very closely. Why? This would be like Walmart's stock falling when Google has a rough quarter. It's because the majority of "traders" are simply lumping the assets together without differentiating them, where a more nuanced trader would recognize that there is very little in common between Walmart and Google. If you believe in ETH, it's a pretty exciting time to be buying.

Sorry dude, AI boom is not going anywhere. Have you noticed while BTC, ETH and other majors lately, that AI-narrative tokens had been ripping prior to this huge flush today? RENDER, NEAR, AKT, TAO, FET. There’s a good reason. Semiconductors. They’re in a literal insane expansion right now and edge AI in particular is a long term extremely demanded category within it. I know some might think this is just a short term narrative phase of AI, and while it typically goes in cycles? I don’t see that happening anytime soon. There’s an absolutely enormous supply shock which is why tech stocks are going parabolic. NVDA is officially the biggest company in the world. It IS a semiconductor stock/company, with computing in AI. It’s the biggest weighting in S&P 500, NASDAQ, BGBL, Vanguard (VGS), SMH… basically almost everything. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

What do you think about $LIT now? I’m a BTC and ETH maxi guy for 10 years. But lit is the only alt that has caught my eye this whole time. Mostly due to hype’s success, which I think I missed. Wondering if lighter can compete

Andrewshwap

For sure but I see many investors online (both through forums & interviews) say Bitcoin hit $100k, $110k, $120k while ETH just barely hit ATH; It also seems like people were expecting ETH hit $10k while BTC hit ATH. I agree with you on the supply cap, I totally wished it was capped!

I love everything about Ethereum and their technology; Major companies like Coinbase build on top of ETH blockchain to help scale their products & I love how they put security over speed unlike solana does; I’m just concerned with investors confidence in it. I feel like investors will think why put money into ETH when I could put money into BTC & I just hope that doesn’t affect ETH future in anyway

I find the posts so funny. Blackrock, the biggest financial institution in the world, who might as well be the Illuminati, not only is responsible for the ETF’s and holds a shitload of bitcoin and ETH, but they also believe bitcoin will hit 1MIL dollars. If blackrock is backing bitcoin, I’m not worried at all.

Probably an unpopular opinion here but... maybe it's just massively overvalued and this is a necessary correction? BTC does nothing. It's digital gold, except it's not highly conductive or something shiny to display. It's a wealth store, at best, and it's only worth what people are willing to pay for it. At least ETH has *some* utility, though I'm yet to see it exploited properly. I was really excited a few years back about smart contracts having potential to upend various parasitic (imo) sectors. Never seemed to happen though.

Oh shit, ETH fell into the $1600s?

Technically correct in the traditional proof of stake sense, native xos to secure other chains without bridging, it is still early and you earn their token not btc so there is conversion risk, if you want yield without that complexity, ETH liquid restaking through something like EtherFi gives you staking rewards plus EigenLayer restaking on top, and you keep your own withdrawal keys which most ETH staking protocols do not offer.

I don’t need to google it because I’ve been tracking live prive action this entire time. Remember what I said about market caps? you cannot treat an 8% drop in Bitcoin and a 4% drop in Ethereum as equivalent market events simply by looking at the raw percentages. And zoom out, ETH had already experienced a heavy 8% drawdown over the broader week Both suffered double digit drawdowns over a 16 day window. Bitcoin underperformed Ethereum by less than 2 percentage points, which is a relatively standard variance.

Post is by: kokosname and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tuysqx/anyone_here_successfully_converted_crypto_into/ I’ve been researching ways to diversify out of pure crypto volatility into tangible assets. Came across a service called CryptoCashBridge that apparently helps with converting BTC/ETH etc. into either cash (AED) or directly into properties in Dubai through a regulated process. Has anyone here actually done something similar? How was your experience? What should one watch out for?

I’m not worried with Bitcoin future, I’m honestly more concerned for ETH future

You're rather dim, aren't you? You know millions of BTC are believed to be lost forever? You know how many scams, collapses, and dead exchanges there were in the early years? You know plenty of early holders sold the second it was worth enough to buy anything? Or panic sold when Bitcoin crashed from nearly $20K to $3K in 2018, or $8K to under $4K a couple of years later? Or even now, as everyone's panicking about it dipping to the $60K range? Anyway, none of that applies to me. My dumb mistake was just losing my private keys. I'm more heavily invested in stocks these days, but don't worry, since you're so invested for whatever reason, I still have roughly $100K worth of BTC/ETH holdings.

bitcoin will have its worst bear ever. The good thing about that, is that it will open all the MAXI's eyes that you cant just keep buying BTC. Which will make ETH popular. Which is good, because else if BTC is the ONLY coin to buy, I would say that crypto in general is dead soon.

On the Jun 2, 2026 snapshot I’m looking at, BTC OI was $114.5B with funding at -0.2%, while ETH OI was $64.5B with funding at +0.4%. That’s why I’d separate the majors from the XRP/alt breakdown here: BTC/ETH liquidations can be mostly position-size + leverage mechanics, but an alt wiping hard during the same move can be more about crowded local positioning and thinner liquidity. My framework: don’t just rank coins by liquidation dollars. Normalize by OI, check whether funding was already stretched, then watch whether OI rebuilds while price fails to recover. Caveat is liquidation feeds are noisy and exchange coverage varies, so I’d treat this as a positioning clue, not a clean directional signal tbh.

yeah crypto is fucked. s&p clawing its way back from an overnight dip while ETH just continues to crater.

HoldCtrlW

ETH/BTC is way too high, ETH is going to dump next

The ETF divergence is the useful part here; if BTC outflows keep growing while ETH still takes inflows, that says more about positioning than a single risk-off headline. I would watch whether liquidity stabilizes after the geopolitical shock before reading too much into one daily move.

One should really not jump to conclusions based on a day or two of crypto price movements but could it be that Saylor's antics are weighing heavy on btc and increasing the appeal of crypto allocations towards ETH?

Look at the BTC.D 12-month candle chart. What if it repeats the 2017 and 2021 cycles? BTC is way overpriced vs alts. There's about 6 ETH for every 1 BTC, and yet BTC was trading for around 36 ETH or more. That's a 6x+ premium. [https://www.tradingview.com/x/ofjZpCHi/](https://www.tradingview.com/x/ofjZpCHi/)

I had hoped projects like XMR, Nerva or blur-network might become the peoples coin, but the bitcoin & ETH snobs just sneer at newer/smaller projects.

SeriousGains

Don’t forget ETH

SeriousGains

ETH is the ultimate shitcoin at this point.

oopssomething

ETH/BTC +4%, is this the beginning of the flippening? Saylor will start selling harder than the ETH foundation, now is the time to switch teams.

The_Roaring_Fork

They could also lower the amount of XLM needed to establish a wallet. I don't think the Stellar Foundation wants XLM to be like BTC or ETH

Wowdavid2002

I think people are going to start looking for alternatives to ETH and BTC… I base this on nothing 🤭

Are you just rage baiting at this point? Besu is not the canonical unified ledger. Besu allows them to connect to anyone who is or wants to use ETH. The big players are not using ETH for any of this. Goldman, JP Morgan, Broadridge, etc have all built subnets on Canton and built their own tokens. Even Besu would have to synchronize on Canton.
