ETH

tokenchoke0

Everyone has been asking that same question. Down 40% in only a week… it took us nearly 3 months to go 40% from ETH’s all time high in August… then 2026 happened and we just nose dived. Alt coins have been in a bear market since 2021 and we still have 10 months left of this bear cycle!

kingjoeg

ETH will be back below $1,000

Serenaded

Unironically it seems the cycle is real though. Tune out the FUD. The bullrun arrives 1 year before the actual halving, which means 2026 is most likely going to be pre-bull green unless some blackswan turns the world away from crypto for good. Either altcoins move on the 3 year cycle (2020, 2023, 2026) or the halving will bull accumulate, coming 1 year early where the halving is actually the sell event, means 2026 is the bottom and beginning of the bull. Will be funny when the cycle repeats and BTC is 140k, ETH 5k and rhetorical altcoins pumping by December of this year.

tokenchoke0

At some point, we will have an event that ultimately plunges the crypto market to 0 or close to it. Imagine FTX or LUNA but spread out through the top 300 coins. Bitcoin will survive but it’ll lose at least 70% of its market cap. Everything else will lose 99.7% of their market cap including ETH which will be the first to collapse causing a chain reaction. The mining rewards will make Bitcoin a net negative for miners which will cause them to shut down mining rigs. Bitcoin will bounce around the $15-$25 range for eternity until the masses just lose interest all together.

Hasn't Tom Lee said that ETH is worth like $100k per token? His narratives are wild and who knows what his fundamentals are. Prior to the ETH he was known as the anti-Michael Berry in that he's called 50 of the last 4 bull markets.

jawni

I know what ICP is, this doesn't answer my question. ETH rethinking scaling via L2 reflects positively on chains that focused on scaling the L1, like Solana, because those are pretty much opposite approaches. Now do it for ICP. Fill in the blanks: "ETH rethinking scaling via L2 reflects positively on ICP because ___________________"

R3dFiveStandingBye

This guy acting like ETH isn’t down 30% in the last week lmao

LargeSnorlax

Not even remotely. Has one of the least upsides of any alt at the moment. Hasn't even fallen to a reasonable buy level. ETH is at a level it's hit several times before and has had lower highs since then. If you compare it to basically any other alt, or Bitcoin, it has the most limited possibility. When Bitcoin was at 16k, ETH was at 1k. Now, Bitcoin is at 72k and ETH is at 2.1k, so still undervalued. If Bitcoin has another large downside it could fall to, ETH has more, and there'll be better buy zones.

tokenchoke0

It took ETH 3 months to dump 40% back in August to November… it took ETH 1 week to dump another 40% from the end of January to today… is ETH trying to speed run this Bear market?

It’s just eventually going to be so undervalued big money is going to ask themselves why would I buy gold at 10k for 0.05% gain in 6 months when I can buy BTC/ETH and get hundreds of % in themselves time frame. That’s my cope anyways.

The ONLY question an astute investor should be asking themsevles is, *"Is the risk/reward of BTC still worth it or should I leave crypto entirely?"* The Total Alt Marketcap is almost down to where it was 5 years ago. Even some the most long term successful Alts are below their prices 4 years ago, 8 years ago or even 12 years ago. - LTC was $50 in 2013. It is ~$50 today. - XRP was $2.30 in 2017. It's $1.60 today. - ETH was $4,800 in 2021. It's $2,100 today.

Funding is so negative in some DeFi platforms that I've sold my spot ETH and went 1X long. Getting paid to hold is nice.

jawni

Plenty of coins don't need subnetworks to work, why would you immediately think ICP would be the beneficiary? If anything this is bullish for chains like Solana, who are already having a lot of success with a scalable monolithic L1 or it's bullish for L2s who are more purpose-built for novel usage rather than general purpose scaling. It's definitely bearish ETH, but I don't see why ICP would benefit any more than any other chain and I don't see how Solana wouldn't be the greatest beneficiary of this narrative change.

I would argue that in ETH’s case it’s down to the tech being too complicated for the masses to feel confident in it. Bitcoins description as “digital gold” is beautiful, simple and easy to get. ETH is weirder and so in crashes holds way less confidence and consumer hold outs

DBRiMatt

I'll ride the wave at this point. I've made my ETH worth from selling the listings and buying back the dumps over the years, from what was initially earned for free in the first place.

crossy1686

L2’s were a bad idea from the off and were made as a reaction to criticism that no one wants to trade on ETH due to the L1 fees. It’s the right decision to move away from L2’s but you have to wonder why the decision making is so short term to begin with.

tldr; BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has reduced its cryptocurrency holdings by over $10 billion since the start of 2026, with Bitcoin and Ethereum accounting for the majority of the outflows. The firm's net digital asset exposure dropped from $78.36 billion to $68.06 billion, influenced by declining crypto prices. While BlackRock shed significant amounts of BTC and ETH, the reduction is partly tied to the broader crypto market slump rather than outright sales. Comparatively, BlackRock increased its holdings in early 2025 during a market uptick. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Actual_Pattern_265

May want to look at the actual protocol to see what's happening with supply, inflation, transaction fes, etc. Adjusted for inflation, ETH hasn't gone anywhere in 9 years, and has been through significant tech changes. Could be that changes to the protocol are making it worthless (aside from the usual market variables, with I think are only part of the problem).

He was pushing smoking chicken fish which has basically gone -99%. His largest bag was SUI, more like SUIcide watch, -77%. Followed by SOL, -61% And finally ETH, -56%. People actually pay him subscription fees to access this alpha. His videos and tweets still get tons of engagement. Yes I know he is charismatic, but please stop following these charlatans. It would not surprise me if he was dumping his bags the entire cycle.

Wise men say, Only fools rush in Buth ETH can't help, falling a-gainst Bit-coin.

Sea-Environment-5938

From a markets perspective, ADA’s underperformance isn’t that surprising. Liquidity, stablecoin depth, and active users tend to concentrate where capital efficiency is highest. ETH L2s, Solana, and Avalanche captured real USDC liquidity early, which matters a lot for trading, DeFi, and onboarding new users. Cardano’s ecosystem growth has been slower, and that shows up clearly in TVL, volumes, and dApp usage metrics. Tech philosophy aside, markets tend to reward traction first and research later.

yusa-ham

That “most mentions” list is basically my watchlist too. For BTC/ETH days I’ve found it useful to overlay liquidation clusters (where stops/leverage might get squeezed) with obvious HTF levels — helps me avoid chasing every candle and instead wait for “liquidity runs” into a level. Still just a context tool though; I size small and assume the map can be wrong.

> If we are talking about real world adoption theres no L1 solution that would be decentralized while being able to scale into 1-2M TPS range and even the 1-2M TPS Please read. Vitalik is arguing for L2 specialization. He is saying that all these general-purpose L2s are just really L1s bandwagoning on "ETH-alignment" as a marketing tactic. There are a couple of ETH L2s that specialize in payments. From what I understand, they aren't planning to carbon copy ETH L1 onto their L2s. They are just interested in making payments.

Thank you very much, for now I think I’ll stick to BTC, ETH and some HYPE. Can you suggest some coin worth doing some research on ? I studied XRP but it won’t ever go to the moon as a lot of people say, if it goes to 1$ maybe it could be an easy X2 but I’m not a big fan. I’d like to study some coin but they are so many that I don’t know where to start from.

noviwu97

Almost everything mentioned here. I wouldn't go past BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE if you're a newbie

AD-Edge

Exactly, this is how it feels. I feel like he is only considering how things are running now, not considering how ETH performs and what it needs to keep up if we get another 2021 type of volume period of time. Seems pretty short sighted, even if it is correct in some ways (ie Layer 2s add considerably more complexity, which is a pain).

tokenchoke0

I’m not worried about Bitcoin, alt coins on the other hand… ETH for some reason is crashing the hardest compared to the other alts… why is that? It most certainly feels like ETH is being targeted for manipulation. A higher market cap means a considerable amount of liquidity is needed to push the price in any given direction but even with ETH’s second largest market cap only second to Bitcoin, Ethereum is crashing harder then some of the most garbage crap coins on my watchlist (and trust me I have some real stinkers on there”. Is there reason to be concerned with ETH’s recent price action? This isn’t my first rodeo but the way ETH is crashing with such ease causes reason for concerned that I’ve never felt before. Is there something we’re not being told? I mean how bad is it out there?!?

NonVideBunt

So many people don’t realize this. And there’s no promise even BTC or ETH will stand the test of time. It’s still a relatively new asset compared to many other traditional investments.

Bagmasterflash

Wanna truth bomb? Ethereum was born out of Vitaliks spite towards Core developers who refused to allow the programmable side of Bitcoin being expressed. Vitalik made ETH as a proof of concept and was convinced to monetize it only to let it devolve into the mess it is today.

Glittering_Pick_9738

That reminds me that I was buying ETH last year at 1,8k and at 1,4k when bitcoin was higher than today. But it shows that bitcoin is so weak that it got outperformed even by ETH. That's why I would rather buy bitcoin today. ETH is still too expensive.

YogurtCloset3335

lol Vitalik is naive af, he believes digital ID is a good thing. He is running a biometric system for Bhutan on Ethereum chain. The ETH foundation is crawling with intel assets, who are waiting to sabotage privacy and decentralization. That's why so many devs left the foundation.

PaulieWoz

I'm probably going to get down voted, but check out TRX. If you strictly look at the technicals and the chart over the last 5 years, it outperformed BTC and most other top 20 coins. When everything else drops. TRX stays flat thanks to USDT. I'd say it's a good hedge and holding it along with BTC/ETH might be a good idea. Sprinkle in some silver, gold and a global equity ETF and I think you'd do just fine. :) Now I know how we all feel about these two, but you can't deny it's resilience when everything else dumps. PS. I don't own any TRX but my FIL does and rubs it in my face every time the market dumps. LoL

piggleii

Even Vitalik is FUDding ETH now.

Serenaded

No, generally altcoins will have some type of pump alongside ETH/BTC, but it's unlikely all altcoins will pump again. That being said, SOME altcoins that are #1 in its usecase will have cycles. (These are my picks) 1. Ethereum for Defi. (more established, decentralised and fairly launched than SOL) 2. XMR for privacy. 3. KAS for trilemma. (technological factors on newish projects that haven't had a cycle yet usually drive altcoins the most) 4. DOGE for memecoins (memecoins are dead but DOGE seems to always come back. I hold 0 DOGE but would not bet against it, traders like its predictable inflation) Etc, I mean only the coins that are the king of their usecase will actually have some type of long-term conviction. It seems like a lost cause now but you'll be surprised how fast these projects can 10x under FOMO. Crypto is the future every 4 years, then 3 years in between it's not the future.

Right-Avocado3870

I have never heard anyone serious say alt coins are coming back. It seems like people tried that and found no use for it. Is there a serious argument for an altcoin? ETH has some use cases so it will be with us. But what's the point of the rest?

Numerous_Wonders81

Developers and VCs often fund wash trading and bot activity to manufacture the appearance of "usage" to lure in retail investors. High user counts can be a mirage created by a few entities rotating funds to juice the stats. You claim only BTC and ETH are "Store of Value" (SOV) assets. However, many "utility" tokens function as productive assets. If a network has superior tech (like faster finality or better privacy) but lower current usage, it represents an asymmetric bet. Investing is about predicting future flow, not just staring at current dashboards. If you only follow current "users," you are just following the herd into the most expensive "casino" tables. True gains come from identifying undervalued tech before the masses (and their bots) arrive.

Cynthi_Taylor

I was in the same spot testing volume profile on alts, most firms only give BTC/ETH and that gets boring fast. Crypto Fund Trader worked fine for me for this, decent alt selection and execution felt closer to exchange than CFD.

MakCapital

Or keep buying junk no one uses because you get trick by Reddit comments like this. No one said solely judge, but users are definitely most important metric unless true SOV like BTC and ETH to some degree. People aren't using it, while not being brand new, move on. The majority of all activity of any network & any financial platform people use is always going to be slop and bots. Bots are still humans paying to play. You aren't paying to play on networks with no users. Basic 101 info. Reddit popular opinions will get you killed in this space. Focus on users. Not how many times something gets mentioned here.

Careful, you are touching these ETH fanboys button. They will come with bs like ‘an ATH is an ATH! Most coins didnt even do that!’

ETH didn't even really make a new ATH this cycle, unless you count that $100 over that lasted for 5 seconds.
