PeachScary413

Bro how do people still think the ETF lose money when BTC/ETH go down? 💀😭 They are buying it with retail money and just collecting fees, they couldn't care less if it goes to zero lmaooo

hoff4z

Still getting paid to short ETH + BTC btw. Positive funding

A10cc

ETH can't even hold $1,800 JFC. Massively regret buying into this dogshit last year.

Admirral

only ETH is not manipulated no matter how low it goes even tho it is the backbone of all crypto infra

Blackiris-Code

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

confusedguy1212

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.

aznpridesu

wait for garbage alts like ETH,SOL and XRP to make new lows first. ETH = $800-$1200, SOL below $50. I am planning to average down big on btc once those happened. They need to die first lol.

Post is by: ActOpen7289 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1tvvj1u/are_we_bottoming_out_big_pump_incoming_in_the/ Honestly feels like we might be close to a local bottom. 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? Would love to hear different perspectives. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Turns out ETH was the real ETH killer.

ConsciousSkyy

ETH.D is down -50% in the past 5 years. How long until it loses its number 2 spot?

laughncow

lol this was obvious as soon as I figured out the invetory was tossed out of ETH. come on give me a break he is a tool. Why would you even think otherwise. Learn from your mistakes

BlaseJong

Ah yes... the ETH killer. That worked out well.

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 .

cyger

But there are staking Sol and ETH ETFs, so not entirely true.

VisiblePlatform6704

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

Helemaalwel

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.

_Commando_

Price of ADA same as it was 4 or 5 yrs ago, sorta like ETH. All this FUD on Cardano makes me want to buy some, reverse CC ftw.

Mammon84

So BTC dies off and ETH takes the crown Or BTC dies off and so does all of crypto. Hoping for 1 but kind of worried it will be 2

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?

alami9

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.

colemusic1

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.

PeeOnDusk

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

LedByReason

What currency are all of these ai agents going to be using to deal with each other? BTC, ETH or some other crypto is going to 10-100x in the next five years.

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!

CM19901

That's why ETH pair is up.

Andrewshwap

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

just-getting-by92

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.

things_U_choose_2_b

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.

ImportantPost6401

Oh shit, ETH fell into the $1600s?

Drumroll-PH

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.

LordJamPunt

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.

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

SallyYoung1

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.

Amazing_Rice_954

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.

Character-Issue1788

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.

Zealousideal-Bus4712

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

ReceptionSmall9941

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.

aaj094

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?

Numerous_Ruin_4947

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/)

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 🤭

The_Minimum

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.

confusedguy1212

Just a friendly reminder that ETH pays a yield. Bitcoin does not.

The_Minimum

You don't know what the word canonical means, do you? You don't understand how accounting works at the institutional level, do you? I don't think you even know what the Global Synchronizer is. Canton doesn't even need Chainlink. Canton only needs Chainlink for messaging and once that is fully integrated/launched then it is Canton who is going to be making a run at things like Swift. Like I said, you really don't grasp any of this and because you don't grasp any of this you keep conflating multiple concepts together. Canton isn't just another L1 chain, it was designed by people who actually understand finance and they worked with the institutions to create exactly what they wanted. Let me break this down in 5th grade language. The DTCC defines which record is legally authoritative. This has to be on a unified ledger, it cannot live on XRP and XLM and SOL and ETH or whatever else independently. XLM and XRP live on the edges, they provide the liquidity. The final reconciliation for settlement has to live on ONE UNIFIED LEDGER. That ledger is Canton. Until it gets to Canton, it's just an IOU or a promise. Link connects external data into Canton, then Canton's synchronizers produce the final, Canton-side settlement. That is why its called the "network of networks." So link doesn't sit on top of the pyramid, Canton does. Canton unifies everything into one official, compliant, legal accounting record. Like I said, you don't understand what is going on because you're thinking that this operates like some retail defi experiment. This is institutional level and institutional grade. These are not the same things. Once this clicks in your brain and everyone else's brain, people like me will have already frontran you while you're holding the bag of some other token that didn't actually capture value because you can't distinguish that utility =/= value capture.

Harfatum

BTC is digital gold (flawed if you ask me, but it was a genius invention and it has the memetic power). ETH is civilizational infrastructure if developers and policymakers keep leaning into it. HYPE is an exchange. It's a cool exchange but it should be valued as just a company. Its FDV is already *higher than* NASDAQ, so some perspective might be good here.

unknowngloomth

As if BTC and ETH weren't shitcoin themselves either lmaoooo those BTC maxis are fucking hilarious

unknowngloomth

Stop shilling HYPE. Let people keep holding their ETH and BTC. Lmao..

Serenaded

They're throwing trillions of dollars at quantum computing in the next 5 years just in USA alone. That FUD has been around for about a year now, and BTC still has no realistic way of tackling it except to completely dismantle the chain and turn it into something else, where old wallets won't even be compatible anymore. It's just looking bad for BTC in a way that it never has before. QC is not an if, it's a when. I moved to a 50/50 split of ETH and XMR.

your tokens are fine, you just can't trade them on bybit anymore. withdraw the cmETH to a self-custody wallet like metamask and swap it for ETH on any major DEX like uniswap. friendly reminder: this is exactly why you shouldn't hold liquid staking tokens on a centralized exchange long term. keep them on-chain

Sure, but once I do can you please acknowledge how ridiculous it is that the head of the project is also on the leadership team of IOG... surely you can't be pretending to believe they will be unbiased? Anyway, as to an example of bias in the data. In their Consensus section (the first section they published, about 2 years ago) one of the metrics they present is Nakamoto Coefficient. They gave Cardano a value around 75, which could only be obtained if they counted multiple validators run by the same entities as different (e.g. as if "LBF1" (Ledger by Figment pool 1) was unrelated to LBF2, LBF3... etc. They gave Ethereum a value of 2, which could only be obtained if they treated all of the 31 (or maybe 33 at the time, I don't exactly recall) entities under the 'Lido' system as a single entity. Lido validators are run by companies and organizations, in different countries, with different client software. The company Lido directs staked ETH into the entities under their banner but has no control over transaction ordering or any other consensus impacting influence. The idea that they should be counted as a single entity while multiple Cardano pools operated by the same company are counted as different is a clear example of the bias that they use to ensure the company that they work comes out looking like the best. If your investments prevent you from acknowledging that then imagine it wasn't crypto. Would you believe a report put out by a group founded and funded by 'X', headed by a member of X's board, on which AI was most reliable, when they inevitable come up with the answer that it is their own Grok that is the best?

ETH and SOL will definitely recover.

Nobody knows. But ETH barely hit a new ATHs from its 2021 top if I'm not mistaken. If only one had bought S&P and held they'd be up about 63% or more.

Illustrious-Boss9356

I think ETH and SOL are sort of competitors in the same space. Chainlink is competing in the RWA/Oracle space. BTC is the only one w a unique space but it is the slowest and oldest tech of them all.

Noone can tell with a 100% certainty. ETH and SOL probably will recover and reach ne ATH

MediumLibrarian7100

Institutions changed crypto liquidity from retail rotation to product gated allocation. Between 2022-today, they: \- wrapped crypto in tradfi products \- concentrated liquidity into BTC first, ETH second \- professionalised custody, execution and risk \- turned stables into settlement rails \- made “compliance liquidity” matter OLD cycle was: **BTC pumps -> retail feels rich -> profits rotate into ETH -> large caps -> mid caps -> microcaps** NEW cycle is: **ETF inflows -> BTC/ETH absorb capital -> institutions rebalance through regulated products -> little spillover to illiquid alts** That’s why in 2024 after halving BTC could rise without automatically feeding the whole market. Add three more pressures: too many new tokens diluting attention, venture unlocks creating constant sell pressure, and retail weaker than in 2020/21 because rates were higher and stimulus was gone I’m yet to see an advantage to them arriving

Objective-Street-957

Polymarket killed Alt coins, big tech ate BTC/ETH money. It's gojo over.

stockfish11

You are not built for risk. Many great long term solid investments that wont crash but also wont sky rocket. Like Utilities. I started buying btc/eth in 2016 in small amounts and have been adding, in very small amounts for 10 years this dec 17. I have never sold any of it and I keep buying in micro amounts. My eth is staked so its like a " drip" investment. Ive been through 4 crashes and bought every extreme dip and runup. Everyone cries and runs for the exits during crashes and down periods I just keep buying all the time with 50-100 dollar investments Regardless of price. The current dip is caused, imo, by 2 factors. 1. The high risk investors who are the demographics of btc buyers have moved to AI stocks which are very volatile and mostly moving up and very sharply here and there. 2. Trumps charades into crypto have stained the community and that has had an effect. Btc isnt going away . ETH has a clear utilitarian function that use grows everyday, especially in AI block chain applications. Humans are strange, they prefer buying equities when they are very high and not buying them when they are on sale. Short term attention span of people today make buy n hold almost incomprehensible to them.

Sell ETH, buy Bitcoin and don’t stop. In due time, you will make back what you lost 🤑.

Saffuran

Stay out until closer to Q4 most likely -- also don't look at things outside of the top 20 or so tokens (market cap) and I tend to avoid memes in that filter as well. By the time BTC bottoms the ETH/BTC dilation iis probably going to be toward its relative lows which will be interesting for entry. Solana should also see a strong bounce (between now and Q4, SOL will probably be trading in the $30s at some point and that will be the safest entry since its fair value gap will be filled. I admit there is second-hand meme exposure there so there is a double-edged sword but I genuinely like how the system operates. AVAX/LINK will be interesting layer 2 projects to look for entries in and Real-World-Asset markets and aggregators like ONDO may be some of the biggest overall opportunities. Privacy coins/layers like ZCash and ZKsync are already showing decent strength (especially ZEC) in this downtrend and if ZEC can maintain that relative strength with Bitcoin transitioning back into a Bull Market environment, it could have the biggest boom potential of all.

Why Bitcoin, why not ETH and why not Shiba or Doge? Maybe Claude tokens would be actually useful to access AI compute power. Why choose something where a huge percent is already owned by some random MSTR or Satoshi if he decides to wake up. What have they contributed to the world economy to hold so much of it? What backs BTC? What if governments refuse to exchange their currency for BTC?

I started out broke. Looking for sign up bonuses online. Didn’t have a dollar in my bank account. And across OKX crypto app that gave out $10 free when I signed up. I noticed it said up to $400 in rewards free. When I first got the free $10 I sold the bitcoin they gave me and bought ETH. OKX per terms and conditions require rewards stay in your account 30 days before withdrawal. They want to hope you don’t get the money and run and who can blame them. If it wasn’t for that requirement I would never have noticed the glitch. A week after receiving the free $10 I went into the app and was clicking around. I came across the rewards section where it explained how to unlock The remaining $400. I noticed a small bar graph at the bottom under the buy/sell requirement showing I had $10 of the $3000 required to unlock my remaining $400. I thought to myself “hey, when I sold bitcoin and bought eth it counted to the requirement to unlock the remaining $400” . One would think it would have to be new money being deposited but it can be the free money they give at sign up. So I spent the next hour sitting there using the same $10 buying and selling bitcoin, as my original $10 i was given free at sign up depleted from the bid/ask spread I think I had about $4 left and my next reward unlocked. I now had $74. The remaining $74 I now had to trade $7000 total in order to unlock the $300 reward. I sat there another 30 minutes and watched the amount go down to around $50 and my $300 reward was given instantly as well. I now had $350 withdrawable in 30 days. Now okx if running a campaign where referrals get you a $100 bonus and they receive up to $400. Every few days I will post a video with my referral link on my social media and can generate a good passive income revenue source at the moment and you can too. Hope this helps someone as much as it has helped me. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I am incentivized to help in order to get my reward for you signing up and will make sure you understand clearly so you can show someone else

**What happened** * Cosmos/Ethereum bridge **Gravity Bridge** was exploited for approximately **$5.4 million**. * Initial reports suggest a **bridge signing key compromise**, allowing unauthorized withdrawals. * Validators have **halted the bridge** while the incident is investigated. **Assets stolen** * \~$4.3M USDC * \~274 WETH (\~$553K) * \~$434K USDT * \~14 PAXG (\~$64K) **Current status** * Some funds have reportedly already been moved through **ChangeNow** and **Binance**. * The attacker wallet was still holding roughly **2,100 ETH (\~$4.2M)** when security researchers published their findings. * Bridge operations are paused. **Why this matters** * Gravity Bridge is one of the more decentralized Cosmos↔Ethereum bridges, relying on validator consensus rather than a small multisig. * If the signing-key-compromise theory is correct, the incident highlights that even decentralized bridge architectures can still have critical key-management risks. **Broader market implications** * Another major bridge exploit adds to growing institutional concerns about DeFi infrastructure. * Bridge hacks remain one of crypto's most persistent security problems because bridges often become concentrated pools of assets. * This is reportedly the **8th major bridge exploit of 2026**, with cumulative bridge losses now exceeding **$300 million** this year.

I sold all my ETH for BTC about 3 years ago and have zero regrets. I started my crypto journey with ETH in 2020 but in hindsight I should have always made BTC the foundation. I corrected that about 3 years back and if I could turn back the clock I would have done FAR better with BTC. There is no second best

Okay and if that day ever comes 1 Bitcoin will be worth 10trillion dollars making ETH a completely pointless hold still

After Binance force-settled my original short position, a remaining positive/net long ZEC balance was still left on my account. At that stage, there was already no compensation being considered for the losses on the short position, so I simply wanted to realize the remaining losses, fully exit ZEC, and move on. In the legal email, Binance stated that the remaining assets “could be transferred out at my convenience.” Based on that wording, plus earlier support discussions, I understood that I would still be able to internally liquidate/convert the remaining ZEC exposure. Because of that, I partially transferred the remaining ZEC long exposure from Isolated Margin into Spot, expecting I could later convert it into USDT or another supported asset like BTC or ETH. But after transferring into Spot, conversion of ZEC into USD/USDT or any other supported pair was no longer available on my account. After realizing the Spot conversion was not working, I personally tried using the force close/liquidation option on the remaining ZEC that was still left inside Isolated Margin, and that portion was successfully converted internally into USDT. If I had known earlier that internal force liquidation was still possible, I would never have transferred part of the remaining ZEC exposure into Spot in the first place. Now support says the remaining ZEC can only be transferred externally to another wallet/exchange, even though this was never clearly explained earlier. I also followed up with Binance Legal again regarding this issue, but unfortunately have not received any reply so far. At this point, what frustrates me most is not even the unsupported-asset policy itself, but the inconsistent handling during the migration/restriction process. I simply wanted to close the position, realize the losses, and regain access to my liquidity, but instead the situation became more complicated at every step. The remaining ZEC is now stuck in my Spot wallet, where I cannot trade, convert, or internally liquidate it into USDT/BTC/ETH. Support is now saying I can only transfer it externally, but I currently do not even have another crypto exchange/wallet account available. Would genuinely appreciate if anyone could suggest any practical solution on how I can move or convert the remaining ZEC from my Spot wallet into USDT

Sell BTC for ETH?

ATHs against BTC, ETH, and all others too

There's Bitcoin, the absolute mathematical scarcity and then there's the rest. People call them shitcoins for a reason. Sell both, ETH and the r/ripplescam before losing even more.

💯 BTC and XMR only for me. But I do think ETH has a future. Im Just not a fan of POS coins. The rest is noise to me.

>Many people say Bitcoin can't be used for anything, but I just bought a pair of High End loudspeakers for my HiFi audio system. I think it has been the best purchase I have ever made using BTC. It made me very happy. I think buying a nice audio system has been the best use case for BTC that I can think of. These people clearly never used bitcoin before, making the conversation a waste of time. >Currently my crypto allocation is 90 % BTC and 10 % ETH. Holding shitcoins over long period of time is a great way to lose money. Bitcoin only is IMHO the best way. It gives less support to the scammers like Vitalik, who premined 72 million ETH before letting anyone else to use the network.

Buy BTC XMR ETH only real demand for these supplies Rest (XLM ALGO XRP LINK) is full bs

Post is by: After-Condition4007 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tsqx23/stopped_trusting_exchange_inflow_data_after_it/ I run a nightly thing that checks funding rates, exchange inflows, and some on chain signals, then dumps everything into a one page HTML dashboard. Been doing it about 3 months. It caught a real trade early May. Funding on ETH perps went deeply negative while exchange inflows barely moved. That kind of divergence usually means a selloff is loading but the direction was reversed, so I went long. 6.2% bounce in 18 hours. Same pattern shows up two weeks later. Lost $340 over 3 days of nothing. I pulled exchange inflows out of the dashboard entirely. Too noisy without funding rate confirmation. MuleRun regenerates the page every few hours from live data so dropping a signal took maybe two minutes. Funding divergence is the only metric from this thing that's actually paid me. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The idea of just bouncing around the investments is more to the point - like how much did you actually make in Crypto and then have to pay in taxes to then buy super HIGH costs of AI stocks as they are going up. No on is able to truly TIME the markets and the BIG 7 are currently propping up the Market and even while BTC and ETH are down in the dumps - I'd argue better to just hold some positions in those, or hit some of the smaller but top 20-30 Coins because the returns their could be huge -- XRP, ADA, LINK are the three I'd definitely just throw a few bucks in and just hold for the next year or so in the event a bigger crypto bull run.
