$53M of ETH for those wondering... Not a Trump token.

ETH. But this was maybe the worst article I've ever read.

NotAnotherRebate

ETH unfortunately tells us nothing. I would rather know if they bought oil, stock, or made a huge bet on Kalshi.

Erocdotusa

53mil in ETH and it didn't budge?

Confident_Hunter7506

Keep in mind all the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies that are underwater with their holdings. They all bought ETH and BTC near the highs of the last cycle. The bottom will be after their business model explodes.

Shrijit27

You could look into Delta Exchange India if derivatives are important for your strategy. From what I have seen, quite a few traders here use it for BTC/ETH derivatives, and the FIU registration gives some level of regulatory comfort from an India perspective... One thing to keep in mind is that deposits and withdrawals usually happen via INR rails, so many people end up using a mix of platforms depending on whether they prioritize USDT transfers, derivatives access, or long term storage.

Honestly look for solid project or proven crypto. Right now you need to know we are in a bear market. Best thing to do is DCA, expect down trend but continue to DCA. IMO buy Bitcoin ETH SOL and Litecoin. Once you understand the cycle and crypto better you can buy DEFi coins and use there protocols

defeater33

ETH and or BTC. 5% or less in anything else. Use charts so you can buy low and sell high. You do not need to make the most money just a lot.

> they had to fork it, then in practice it got hacked. Firstly, it's worth noting that Ethereum upgrades through forks, the most recent hard fork was 4 months ago (Fusaka). The term 'fork' isn't considered a sinful word in Ethereum in the same way as in the Bitcoin community... in fact the EF website that tracks Ethereum upgrades is called ['Forkcast'](https://forkcast.org/). Secondly, the DAO wasn't integral to the chain, as demonstrated by the fact that fork didn't save the DAO, it just returned the funds of those whose ETH was stolen from it. You are right that it could have been a problem for the attacker to have had so much ETH years later when the chain moved to PoS, but there were multiple ways to resolve that, such as soft forking to freeze the stolen ETH rather than hard forking to return it (or I guess even doing the 'rollback' that for some reason half this thread seems to believe happened!). I really don't think it is reasonable to claim that 'in practice it got hacked', unless you don't really care what words mean?

Comparing SOL to ETH - why is it so insanely behind? Is SOL dying or what? The difference in price movement is crazy.

Bought some ETH as my first crypto. Still holding, small profit. Then wallet is Ledger, Metamask, or LIFE Wallet... I just use what I feel like using

TheMaharishiEffect

Well for me I was just an NPC and thought BTC was too expensive because buying a whole one seemed expensive... so I bought ETH and other stupid alt coins instead. Then when ETH went nowhere I decided to research BTC and was orange pilled immediately. I realized the value it holds and its anti inflationary properties.

SpiritedWay5745

Had the same thought when I started working right out of college a few years ago, and I’ve been maxing out my Roth IRA with FBTC ever since. I’m already well diversified through my brokerage account and my 401k and I hold additional crypto on a hardware wallet (mostly BTC, along with some ETH and SOL). Altogether, about 20% of my net worth is in bitcoin. At 24, I’m comfortable taking on that level of risk. My thinking is simple, Roth IRA is one of the most tax-advantaged accounts available. Why not use it for a higher-risk, higher-upside asset? If bitcoin continues to grow the way it has over the past decade, the tax-free gains could be insane. And if it doesn’t play out that way, I’m fine with it. I’d rather take a calculated risk now than play it too safe early on.

admin_default

Markets are still ignoring the downside risk. An energy crisis would pop the AI bubble which would drag crypto to the depths of hell along with it. There’s a real chance that we see BTC in the $30K range and ETH under $1000.

Tron is destroying ETH

907,000 ETH per year vs 909,500 ETH per year. It's like worrying that carrying a bottle of milk home in your car is going to cost you more in petrol due to the extra weight!

> effectively reversing every transaction that happened since'' This is EXACTLY what happened, you have described the fork... No, that isn't what happened. Only transactions related to the DAO hack were reversed. Everything else was entirely untouched. The chain wasn't wound back to an earlier block. If you had sent ETH to Coinbase, or registered an ENS name, or set up Gnosis Safe multisig, or whatever else you were doing on Ethereum back then it was totally unaffected. > but this is publicly available knowledge. It is, but it seems like you haven't actually looked it up? The hard fork is detailed here: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-779 ETH was taken from the attacker in an 'irregular state change', 116 addresses were impacted, no blocks were wound back, no other transactions were impacted.

MinimalGravitas

You didn't bother to do the maths, even though I linked you to the exact formula you needed... instead you just assumed a new 3% gets created for every bit of ETH staked? The more that gets staked, the lower the reward percentage drops for staked ETH. The total increases proportionally to the square root of the number of validators. Currently there are 928,959 active validators, leading to about 907,000 new ETH per year. If we stake another 167,000 ETH that works out to about 5,218 new validators. 928,959 + 5,219 = 934,177 validators total, which gives an issuance of about 909,500. 2,500 ETH more per year, or about $440,000 per month to use your measure, or about an extra $14,000 per 24 hours For comparison, about $5,800,000 worth of ETH is currently being issued each day, and the volume of ETH traded in the last 24h was $19,200,432,520. $440,000 per month (or $14,000 per day) is nothing to the ecosystem.

Technical superiority or versatility matter less for an asset whose entire place in financial markets is due to trust. I mean, there are elements rarer than gold that are also inert and even less heavy (and therefore 'practical'). But for millenia gold was the standard. For the simple reason that it basically established the standard and people could trust it. Bitcoin might get pushed aside with time; that's something hard to predict and it's still early enough really. But hard forks exist (and I'm sure there will be one to update the cryptography used, for example). But it really only needs to do a couple things to stay where it is: remain a trusted medium of exchange of value and retain the technical capability to exchange and store value. If ETH bests it at some other thing, great, but then what stops any other one from dethroning ETH? There's room for a 'silver', or secondary mode of exchange in the crypto space. Right now, that could arguably be either stablecoins or something like Monero that provides privacy. But neither can act and the default 'standard' simply because they are not the 'standard'. It will take a whole lot of time, and perhaps even some fault in Bitcoin before the standard changes, since Bitcoin appears to be doing what it needs to rather well.

That's not what they mean by "slashing." You can only do an attack like this by staking a vast amount of ETH. Then if you do the attack, the protocol destroys your ETH.

How much difference do you think staking this much will make to ETH's inflation?

EarningsPal

It’s more efficient and has many redundancies. Visa and MasterCard, Nasdaq, NYSE, with brokerages among others worked, why can ETH, SOL, L2s, among others also work? It’s much more efficient to have blockchains handle transactions than banks and brokerages with centralized systems, lots of buildings, people, and resources to do something easily done by blockchains.

BTC dominance at 56% in a downturn is capital seeking relative safety within crypto, which is normal. The question is whether this cycle is comparable to previous ones. One thing that changed structurally: stablecoin market cap is much larger now than in 2022. A significant portion of total3 (market cap minus BTC and ETH) is stablecoins, wrapped assets, and liquid staking tokens. These are not risk-on altcoin bets, they are infrastructure. That means the "real" alt exposure is thinner than the dominance chart suggests. What I watch for rotation signals: BTC dominance peaking usually coincides with BTC hitting a resistance level and consolidating while money starts flowing into higher-beta assets. But the timing varies a lot. In 2021 the dominance peak was months before the alt season really kicked in. In 2024 the rotation happened faster because the narrative shifted quickly. The honest answer is that dominance alone is a lagging indicator. By the time you see it clearly reversing, the first move in alts has already happened. I find it more useful as a risk gauge than a timing tool. High dominance means the market is defensive. If you are holding alts in a high-dominance environment, you are fighting the trend.

Trader_for_earner

Over the past three days, the cryptocurrency market has exhibited a prolonged sideways trend characterized by limited volatility. This stagnation has significantly impacted my ability to execute intraday trading strategies, which inherently rely on market movement. Major assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are mirroring this consolidation phase. I am actively seeking to understand the macroeconomic or technical catalysts driving this lack of momentum across the digital asset markets.

Calm-Professional103

ETH first, then other majors, then select groups (privacy, utility, etc) and then ultimately memes. Typical alt season deployment (although this alt season has been very atypical) as lemmings chase the yield curve before liquidity dries up

GBeastETH

Nobody on earth would be dumb enough to try this. “… a PoS attacker on Ethereum can only disrupt liveness or censor transactions. They cannot steal user funds or produce invalid blocks that the network would accept. “Consequently, the cost-benefit calculation for any would-be attacker is extremely unfavorable. The attacker would lose billions in slashed ETH while gaining only the ability to temporarily delay transactions.”

Skillerstyles

with amounts like that i’d mostly focus on learning the market and avoiding overtrading. a lot of beginners lose money trying to jump between coins instead of just slowly building positions in stronger ones like BTC or ETH. another thing that helped me early on was splitting my strategy a bit. i keep some crypto just holding long term, and some in places where it can earn something instead of doing nothing. for example platforms like Nexo let you earn interest on stablecoins or certain crypto while you hold, which can make your portfolio a little more productive over time while you’re still learning the space.

Low-Razzmatazz3932

honestly you’re already off to a decent start with ETH and SOL, no need to rush into anything else. at this stage it’s more important to learn *who to trust in the crypto space* rather than chasing new coins. a lot of top crypto experts and Web3 thought leaders to follow focus on basics like risk, security, and understanding the market before adding more positions. you’ll see people like Evan Luthra, CZ or Vitalik! They talk more about building conviction over time rather than spreading small amounts across random coins. with a smaller budget, keeping it simple and learning slowly usually works better than trying to diversify too fast tbh.

Are all these gray staking ETH commercials cause for concern or HODL?

LeVraiMidian

Funny still but a lot of this is less true today than it used to. I hold 80% of my crypto in BTC but some other coins (mainly SOL and ETH) have merits. You can also hold ETFs if you just want to make money and increase your tax free space (if it exists in your country). Day trading is bad, but you can DCA in bear markets and sell some, progressively, when we reach new peaks. Taking profits is fun. Just make it rare at obvious bull/bear markets.

Ill_Opportunity_419

solid list for someone just starting. BTC/ETH/XRP as your base is the right move. One thing I'd add - before you start buying, check where liquidity actually is. I use [Coinlobster](https://coinlobster.com/crypto) to see aggregated order books across exchanges. Helps avoid buying into a wall or getting caught in a liquidation cascade. Free for BTC

shoecellar

I’ve got my DCA set heavy when it is under $66k. Same with ETH under $1,990. Buy daily regardless but triple or quadruple when it is under those markers

SpoonPlateAndAFork

Main thing. You invest with the expectation that the price will go higher than it is now. That can happen, the only question is when. Another thing that can happen is the price will go lower. You have to be mentally prepared for the lower price. There's no certainty in crypto. You can lose 50% temporarily. I think we are going lower both ETH and SOL. And to that is the answer. Buy when the price is going down. Just don't go all in. Dollar cost average. Hold at least 3 years and then decide to sell or hold.

Original_Can9198

Thanks. You really helped me decide to invest in ETH by staking it for the next 10 years, using dollar-cost averaging and holding. I see ETH as being like Microsoft, and BTC as being like Apple—similar but different at the same time—and both will increase in price. I'm sticking with ETH because I can use compound interest. Thanks!

Equivalent-Bear8030

You’re already doing better than most by not going all in at once 👍 If I were you, I’d keep it simple: • Stick mostly with ETH — it’s safer long term • SOL is fine, but it’s higher risk so don’t overexpose • Add slowly (weekly or monthly) instead of trying to time the market With your €200 limit, think like this: 70% ETH / 20% SOL / 10% cash (to buy dips) Big mistake beginners make = chasing random coins. Don’t do that yet. Focus on learning, staying consistent, and protecting your money first. Gains come after that 💯

UpperHandLab

BTC still leads, ETH still holds weight but most alts from last cycle didn’t survive. Big change now is the market moves in phases and liquidity cycles, not just hype. Narratives rotate fast (AI, RWAs, L2s), and most people get caught chasing after the move. If you’re coming back, focus less on “what’s hot” and more on where liquidity is moving next that’s where the real edge is now. Curious do you think we’re early in the cycle or already mid-rotation?

Hey, you’re actually off to a solid start already 👍 Having both Ethereum and Solana is a good mix, ETH is more established, while SOL has higher growth potential (but also more volatility). Since you don’t want to invest everything at once, the smartest move is to DCA (Dollar-Cost Average). basically adding small amounts over time instead of going all in. If you’re working with under €200 per investment, here’s a simple approach: Add more into ETH for stability (like 40–50%) Keep SOL for growth (20–30%) Use the remaining amount to explore 1–2 smaller projects (like Chainlink or Arbitrum) Big tip most beginners miss: 👉 Don’t chase hype coins, stick to projects with real use cases 👉 Always keep some cash ready for dips (that’s where real gains are made) If you want, I actually put together a beginner-friendly crypto ebook that breaks all of this down simply ,from choosing coins to timing entries and avoiding common mistakes. Happy to share it with you 👍

Check you investment. It might lol the same but look at the details. Facilities are different year they both use a lot of power but in totally different ways. ASIC’s because you have to scale them to make money. AI because you have to run GPU’s which requires air conditioning. Mining requires either open air facility or Oil Vs AI needs air conditioning. Number two hardware is not even close. ASIC miner no HDD Very small amount of memory and cache. VS AI large amount of memory/cache and HDD storage. ASIC are really password crackers. They just throw random numbers (guessing) at a problem until it’s solved. Where GPU’s are doing highly specialized calculations. Asics are for 1 task while GPU’s can handle multiple. Just look at core weave The delays we’re finding out how incompatible it is. It’s great to get investors money because investors just here compute AI and other bullshit terms in the game. No investor can look at the two pieces of hardware and tell the difference. Then they found out how different mining is to regular computing. Back in the day when we were mining ETH yes that was very possible I even dabble in it because of the technology GPU’s. If anyone is using any type of High performance GPU to mine BTC they are lying. There would be so many other type of issue with that set up. Then the technical ability. A mining machine is plug and play. To sell AI to the public you would need someone with real skills to build a virtual infrastructure and maintain it. If they aren’t skillful you will get hacked or have terrible uptime. These dudes cost a bunch right now because they are in demand. Most miners think they have the skill they don’t.

TokenPulsar

exactly, people always compare SOL to ETH mainnet alone which is already wrong. add Arbitrum, Base, Optimism and the dev gap looks completely different.

TokenPulsar

pumpfun definitely did damage to the reputation but the base layer isn't the problem. every chain has its garbage era. ETH had ICO scams in 2017, nobody wrote it off.

Stats_DontCare0

That error usually comes from the Ledger not liking the exact EIP-712 format being sent through MetaMask. It’s not really your setup, it’s more a compatibility gap that pops up with some L2s. One thing that worked for me in a similar situation was switching the connection method instead of going through MetaMask. Try connecting your Ledger directly via WalletConnect (or another supported route) if Loopring still allows it, since it can handle signing differently. Also worth checking if there’s a newer firmware for the Nano S itself, not just the ETH app. Sometimes the app updates but the firmware is still behind and causes weird signing issues. If nothing works, you might have to wait for Loopring or Ledger to patch it on their side, which sucks but does happen with L2 integrations. You’re definitely not the only one running into this.

Substantial_Chapter3

Yeah definitely. Just such a draining investment. If your not watching consistently watching its a worry. Could do stop losses but still requires watching. Since i have deleted apps, X, looking at price etc feel like the weight has gone. Just need ETH to return to 3k. Which looks like it wont be this year.

Substantial_Chapter3

Dont blame him. Im in a very similar boat. Made a little. Played the game. Now it is a horrible market. Once I break even on my ETH at $3000, I will be getting out and not returning. Has been fun. Same old story. Controlled baby the big fish. Has helped me make a decent savings account so not all bad.

NoodlesOnTuesday

Yes, quite different, and the differences are more specific than just UI. The biggest practical differences I found after running live across Binance, Bybit, OKX, and KuCoin: Execution quality varies per pair, not just per exchange. A pair that trades with tight spreads and good fill rates on Binance might be significantly worse on OKX for the same pair if the liquidity is concentrated on one platform. For BTC and ETH perps the difference is small. For anything outside the top 20 by volume it can be meaningful. API stability is not equal. Binance has had more unscheduled API outages in my experience, but also has the most detailed documentation and the fastest official WebSocket feeds for spot. Bybit API has been more stable for perps in recent memory. This matters a lot if you are running anything automated. Funding rate behavior differs because the mechanisms differ slightly. Bybit and Binance both use 8-hour funding but the index price calculation feeds are different, which causes small divergences that some arb bots exploit. UI is honestly the least important difference once you get used to any of them. It is the underlying data quality, API reliability, and liquidity depth that affects your actual PnL.

powerform1

Honestly, you've done a good job at trying to diversify. Nowadays though I think BTC only is the best strat. ETH as the #2 really hasn't seen a lot of growth in the long term if we're looking at previous performance. All other coins are gambles. Sell all and just put into BTC or if you'd like BCH 5 - 10%, even then you're probably still better off going 100% Bitcoin. The gov will soon be coming after your in Bitcoin so please just stack as much as you can. Also read the Bitcoin Standard, you will then understand how much your holdings will be worth in the long term. Hope this helps.

Appropriate-Talk-735

That is a long time and both legislation and other coins will change. I think the store of value marketcap will be larger so I dont expect any flippening, but ETH or SOL can have great returns depending on which one takes the use cases. ETH looks very cheap to me now but if it fails to generate higher fees and higher use then it will fall further (measured in BTC). I think best for most people to hold 80-90% BTC and then either ETH or SOL or both depending on what you believe in.

Post is by: Away-Ant7779 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1s7api1/honest_eth_predictions_for_2036/ A lot of the "expert" forecasts for Ethereum are all over the place right now, especially with the upgrades on the horizon. If we’re actually looking a decade out, where do you guys think the price realistically lands? Given 10 years and the "burn" mechanism, there's a huge range being thrown around. On one side you've got people and the institutions talking about $22,000 as a base case, but then you’ve got the massive bulls saying $100k and that it actually flips BTC and becomes the backbone of global finance. What’s your actual price target for ETH in 10 years? 5K? 10K? 15K 20K? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Looks like a good learning curriculum, although you might be underweight in BTC and ETH as your anchors. It will be interesting to see what survives between now and the next BTC halving.  PS:  XLM is a utility token and, IMHO, not investible. I hold only enough for utility purposes on Stellar.

Chain link and Ondo seems to be bad bets. Sui and xrp would be better. Selling out after passing ATH would make more money especially with alts. Higher amount ETH would also do well instead.

If you knew the positions held by Hayek, you'd know he'd certainly be an ETH maxi rather than a BTC maxi.

ETH is trading at the same price as it did in 2021.

I can’t get any more bullish for a coin than I am with $Saiko. Saiko.cash is revolutionary privacy tech for the ETH chain. Any ETH coin can create a pool and stake / earn rewards.

That's like finding a time capsule. Once you recover them, the smartest move in 2026 imo is to move that found money to Nexo like I did. You can swap your APL for $BTC$ or $ETH$ and earn up to 13% daily compounding interest

Honestly if you have to ask Reddit, you probably shouldn’t ape in heavy. Ethena’s an interesting idea, but it’s still very new, has a lot of smart contract and depeg/hedging risk, and the whole yield angle depends on market conditions staying friendly. It’s not the same as buying plain ETH. If you’re curious, treat it like a degen side bet: small amount you’re fine losing, spread across a few plays, and don’t chase the APY screenshots on CT. If you don’t fully get how it works, it’s safer to sit it out.

Only hold BTC and ETH. Everything else is going into the gutter.

>Aave is still one of the largest DeFi lending protocols, allowing users to lend and borrow crypto through smart contracts, which gives it real utility beyond speculation. Except none of that actually matters much for price. You could say the same thing about ETH. Huge TVL, defi usage, etc. Yet eth/btc is down massively for years on end. Aave/btc is literally near all time lows. Only suckers buy these coins. You need to buy coins that have actual, **impactful** buyback/burn mechanisms.

Post is by: Organic-Chipmunk-101 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1s6yqsw/understanding_solanas_volatility_how_to_navigate/ The Solana ecosystem has been a rollercoaster for many traders lately. We've seen incredible pumps followed by sharp corrections, often leaving newer traders feeling whipsawed. What's driving this, and more importantly, how can we adapt? One major factor is the sheer speed and low transaction costs of Solana. This makes it a prime playground for high-frequency trading and rapid capital rotation. When a narrative catches fire, money pours in incredibly fast, pushing prices to parabolic levels. The flip side is that when sentiment shifts, or whales decide to take profits, exits can be just as swift, leading to significant dumps. Another point is the relatively lower market cap compared to Ethereum, which amplifies price movements. A large buy or sell order can have a disproportionately bigger impact on SOL's price compared to ETH. This isn't inherently bad, but it means you need to be acutely aware of liquidity and order book depth, especially on newer tokens. So, what's the play? Firstly, don't get emotionally attached to pumps. Develop a profit-taking strategy. Whether it's scaling out at predetermined levels or using trailing stop losses, having a plan is crucial. Secondly, understand that dips are often opportunities. The underlying tech and community on Solana are strong. Projects are building. Accumulating during FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) can be highly rewarding, but requires conviction and capital management. Lastly, stay informed. Follow multiple sources, understand market narratives, and be quick to react. The window of opportunity on Solana can be short. Speed matters when executing trades to capitalize on these fast movements. I personally use the BOLT bot for executing trades quickly on Solana. TL;DR: Solana's speed amplifies volatility. Have a profit-taking strategy, view dips as opportunities, and execute trades quickly. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I'll preface this by saying we are always a major event away from things getting worse. I know there's currently serious concerns about private equity along with various global issues that can affect crypto pricing. Contrary to the belief and desires of some, Clarity Act is a big hurdle and potential catalyst for crypto right now. Yes BTC and ETH are the top 2 in crypto for various reasons. SOL is actually gaining a lot of traction by institutions as they transition to crypto and blockchain tech. The problem is that this may or may not translate into SOL actually seeing its monetary value mirroring its technological value, similar to Chainlink, AVAX, and others. Unsure about the best exchange. DEXs are probably the better option, but sometimes have their negatives depending on what you are trying to get. If going through the CEX route, you'd have to find which is usable in your area of the world and has plenty of liquidity with low fees. In time, we'll see more major brokerages also allow crypto trading so it'll add some flexibility to where you can keep it while possibly utilizing it for things such as staking. Competition is usually better for retail as we'll see lower fees and better rewards. There's also the convenience factor for retail users. Morgan Stanley will be entering the crypto arena via Etrade starting sometime within the next year. Fidelity has already started.

ETH to 1400!

DrGrungy

I read this and replaced ETH with XRP and it makes so much more sense! 😂

Ok_Golf_6467

I'm positioned for meme coin season (PEPE and PENGU). I also think AI is due for a rally (VIRTUALS, RENDER, TAO). I also think SOL is going to out perform both BTC and ETH this year but that's just my personal conclusion

ZivSerb

Maybe it has nothing to do with either. Maybe it's that 2026 was always destined to be a low liquidity year. 2026 is a massive year for debt refinancing. Maybe it's that BTC or crypto in general was always a hype industry and now that the vast majority of the hype is behind it (Wall Street adoption being the last) that it's no longer the flavour of the week. This post simply smacks of emotionality. Assuming that you have bags, sorry that you have them. Maybe sit there and evaluate why you bought crypto (whatever coin(s) you own) and determine if from a fundamental point of view in terms of what you believe the fundamentals are and whether or not those still make sense in your overall portfolio structure. If you look at a ton of different altcoins, they've completely underperformed since the hype in 2021. I sold my ETH because it's been not only dead money, it's been a horrible asset since 2021. I sold my BTC at 95k because technically it broke down and I figured I could just buy it back later at a cheaper price if I wanted to. Do yourself a favour and don't get caught up in narratives when it comes to investing, simply ensure you have a plan and that you compound return either through yield or harvesting profit as you go. That's how you grow wealth.

Sounds pretty exciting until we remember ETH has like 10 L2s. You can’t just consider ETH, you gotta look at all its L2 dev count since they also use Solidity

J_Jelizah

don’t ever look for anything else beside top 20 BTC ETH SOL LINK HYPE LTC etc all coins beside top 20 are dipping every month then get delisted

BTC ETH SOL are the most used networks. But let me warn you that meme coins and shit coins are taking over crypto space now, and it's just tokenized gambling and will decimate your balances.

daanishh

Just because it hasn't happened like it traditionally has in the past doesn't mean they won't make a comeback. Nothing in the world is following any text books currently, I doubt that the strait of hormuz or war in Iran, or the Yuan potentially threatening the Petrodollar was on anyone's bingo card. People are scared of investing in alts right now and justifiably so. You can feel the sentiment all over this sub - BTC and ETH are the safest and therefore are being recommended the most. When and if people have more money to throw around and feel like they can afford taking some risks - alts will come back. No one can say with certainty however, when that will be. Shit is all over the place right now.

Different-Use2635

the liquidity point is real and I don't think anyone serious in this space pretends otherwise. thing order books are just where we're at right now with most tokenized RE platforms. but I think the framing of "REIT 2.0" misses something... REITs abstract you so far from the actual asset that you're basically trading sentiment, not real estate. tokenization at least let's you see the deal structure, the property, the cash flow math. whether that matters to you depends on how you invest I guess. I've been following what Primior is doing with their GAIA platform and it's a different angle than RealT or Lofty... they're tokenizing institutional grade syndications rather than individual rental houses. so the underlying assets are bigger deals with actual operator track records behind them. johnney Zhang has talked about this and lot, how the point isn't too make real estate "crypto native" but to use the rails for better access and transparency on deals that already exist. to your correlation point though, I think that's kinda backwards? the token lives on chain but the yield comes from tenants paying rent. that's not correlated to ETH price action at all. the wrapper is crypto, the income isn't. 6% yield sustainability depends entirely on the deal. some markets and asset classes can sustainability that for decades, others can't. that's just real estate due diligence regardless of whether it's tokenized or not.

Different setup than 2022 in a few important ways. In 2022, the crash was driven by internal crypto contagion — Luna, 3AC, Celsius, then FTX. Each domino made the next one fall, and trust in the entire ecosystem collapsed. Stocks recovered first because crypto had its own structural problems to work through beyond just macro. This time the pressure is mostly external — Iran, oil above $100, stagflation fears, the $14B options expiry on Deribit yesterday. Crypto doesn't have a contagion event happening. Fear & Greed just hit 12, which is the lowest reading since October 2023, but the social data tells a different story. I track engagement volume across platforms and BTC social attention is actually *climbing* while price drops. That kind of divergence — more eyeballs, rising panic, falling price — has historically shown up near capitulation bottoms, not the start of extended drawdowns. The other piece worth watching: institutional infrastructure is still being built during this fear cycle. Morgan Stanley is prepping a Bitcoin ETF at 0.14% fees, undercutting BlackRock. ETH ETFs have had six straight days of outflows, but that's positioning, not abandonment. Institutions don't build low-fee products for assets they think are going to zero. The stock market has its own headwinds right now — oil is squeezing margins, the Dow just entered correction territory, and the VIX is above 30. If the Iran situation drags out, stocks could stay pressured longer than crypto because corporate earnings take a direct hit from energy costs. Bitcoin doesn't have an earnings report to miss. No crystal ball, but the setup feels more like BTC leads the recovery this time rather than lags it.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

Peace my dude. To answer your question, BTC is what you need if you want to invest, if you want to gamble you go alts, including ETH. I highly recommend Kraken as a platform.

SpontaneousDream

So? We're here to make money, and ETH accrues essentially zero value.

SpontaneousDream

Lmao bud, look at literally ANY altcoin/btc chart. ETH, for example, is down massively from its ratio high from almost **9 years ago.** And that's just ETH. Many other alts are far worse. Thanks for playing!

Post is by: TokenPulsar and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1s63iqc/extreme_fear_eth_bleeding_btc_barely_holding/ Ok so this week was rough. Like actually rough. Total market cap went from $2.3T to $2.52T and basically just drifted down the whole time. $BTC kept bouncing then getting slapped back to the 66k zone every single time. $ETH just sat near $2k looking sad, with ETF outflows still going. Fear & Greed hit Extreme Fear. Lowest reading of 2026. BTC dominance climbed to 56-58% which just means people are hiding in BTC and not touching alts. BTC spot ETFs stayed net positive in March though. Institutions didn't leave. $ETH ETFs kept bleeding. That split is real and it's widening. 65.6k is the line for BTC. Lose that and 60k gets tested. Hold it and maybe we stabilize. Macro stuff, Fed, oil, geopolitics, kept killing every bounce before it had a chance. Honestly just a week where waiting was the right call. What are you watching heading into next week? Any levels you're focused on? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ExactArugula6821

yes ETH was possibly the biggest disappointment amongst majors this cycle. every pump foreshadowed a market wide dump. why don’t you focus on assets that outperform.

Fit-Trick-7598

i just don't think there is a more usable chain right now than SOL (base, coinbase's ETH L2 is a close 2nd). Until proven otherwise, I think its worth a bid when it dumps out.
