Just take a look at it. Lighter is a Hyperliquid competitor built for ETH rollups. They have their own zk-rollup but Robinhood is also using them to power perps on their Arbitrum rollup. It's built directly into the Robinhood app. If you wanna mess with it bridge some funds to HOOD.

theabominablewonder

Depends what you are pulling and how often, if it’s just BTC and ETH on a daily basis then there’s better alternatives. I do a daily call on coinbase’s API which works fine. I only grab ETH though at the moment.

chainglance_cm

Tech stopped being the bottleneck a while ago, fees are cheap, chains are fast, security's matured. But none of that matters if a normal person still has to understand what a seed phrase is, why they need ETH to move a token that isn't ETH, or which of their five wallets actually has the coin they want to sell. The real friction now is cognitive load. That's why you're seeing more tools built purely around simplifying the experience rather than adding new tech, things like account abstraction cutting out seed phrases, ETFs bring crypto exposure to traditional investors, or portfolio trackers like Chain Glance, DeBank, Zerion that let you see everything across chains in one place instead of hopping between five different apps just to check your own net worth. So my take, UX is the actual bottleneck right now. The tech's mostly there, most people just can't use it without a headache.

LukaBrasi87

I am at my average cost, holding... wondering when to buy or TP (little) for the meantime or wait to break out upwards... Then again, there is an oversupply of info on ETH "projections". I don't know what to believe anymore.... If it crashes, I plan to reset my DCA and employ a more strategic strategy

faisal_yk26

Fair, though it cuts both ways depending on what you mean. Stablecoin supply growing is genuine fuel, that's capital sitting on the sidelines waiting to buy something. Supply shrinking is the opposite, people cashing out to fiat. But the part that matters for a 4K target specifically is where that supply lives. Most stablecoin growth in the last two years went to chains that aren't Ethereum mainnet, so it can expand a lot without bidding up ETH itself. Fee revenue and burn stay flat, and ETH ends up a bystander to activity it used to capture. Which one were you pointing at?

newMoneyStyle

Pretty much agree, BTC with a bit of ETH is the safest bet.

newMoneyStyle

Algorand and Hedera really did feel promising a few years back, but the momentum just never came, and sticking with BTC and ETH as the core makes sense while treating Bittensor as a smaller AI-adjacent bet.

Post is by: AKAMA199 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1w9nt7q/which_kind_of_exchange_do_you_mainly_use/ Lately, Ive mainly been using BYDFi. I didn’t have any big reason for choosing it at first. I just found it fairly convenient when I want to check the market, make a trade or occasionally look at futures.What matters most to me is keeping the whole process relatively simple. Usually I check BTC, ETH, and a few coins I’m watching first then decide whether it’s even worth trading that day. When I do trade I still prefer spot most of the time. I’m much more careful with leverage now after getting burned by it before.One thing I have noticed is that an exchange mostly solves the trading and asset-management side. Actually using crypto for everyday spending can still involve another step. A lot of the time, you still end up converting it to fiat and moving it to a bank account or another payment method.So for me, crypto and everyday spending are still kind of separate things.Curious how everyone else handles this. Do you usually cash out through your exchange, or do you use another way to connect your crypto with everyday spending? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

BTC and a little bit of ETH. Anything else is just gambling, just ask 99% of the altcoins holders here :)

higher-steaks

comments here are kind of disgusting i really think if going to look at alts in crypto, need to look at large caps that generate a lot of revenue, and importantly the revenue gets captured into the value of the token. there really isn't many coins that fit this category, which makes things actually quite simple, yet people will twist themselves into intellectual pretzels coming up with reasons to bid vaporware instead. HYPE, PUMP, LIT. profitable stocks on NASDAQ w/ strong crypto exposure - HOOD & PURR save yourself a lot of time and money and just deeply research these. otherwise you're better off with just BTC, ETH or SOL man.

ihatearguingonline

ICP and KAS!! ICP has more unique capabilities than any other chain. Tamper proof web hosting, AI compatibility, chain fusion (interoperability), caffeine AI (making your own apps with AI), and no cloud engines, which are basically backup servers so countries don't have to rely on US based oligopolies like AWS and Google. KAS has a much simpler/cleaner monetary thesis. It has BTC's fair launch and decentralization so you don't have to worry about a massive treasury dumping on retail. And it has robust POW security. It also has the scalability and fees of a true next gen L1. Best of both worlds. ICP is next gen ETH and KAS is next gen BTC!

xcom1995

It's not what I'm holding. I'm very high risk. But if someone asked me for advice, I'd recommend the following: BTC, ETH, XMR, DOGE

piggleii

I’ve been trolling ETH for several years now, but I think it might actually make a comeback if the bull cycle well and truly resumes.

TheMourningDove

For hardline cryptography interests, I think ghostdag (and KAS) is still pretty interesting, and has little to do with Israeli government interests. ZCash is a known zero knowledge proof payment system used by government clients around the globe. With the global geopolitical situation being what it is, the run is easily and openly explainable. Your inclusion of the KAS chart ignores the fact that entire alt market shares largely the same chart. The downturn is not an Israeli crypto problem (as much as you might understandably want it to be). The downturn is manifest in crypto traders chasing gains in super hot stocks and crypto gains built by American, European, and Asian regulations creating a framework for institutional inflows into only the top crypto projects (BTC, ETH, Asian exchange tokens, to a lesser extent XRP. ) The first meaningful reversal seems to be forming right now in the alt market following the liquidity crisis of Oct 2025. The timeline is not abnormal and was predicted openly back in 2025. 12 to 24 months. Seems to be on track for now.

OriginalRest2438

We are pretty heavy on BTC/ETH too, but lately we’ve been digging into some of the more speculative stuff on Robinhood Chain. Have put together a quick video on how we would allocate a $1k bag across a few of them and why we like this setup: [https://youtu.be/4vZ8jJMWZSg](https://youtu.be/4vZ8jJMWZSg) Definitely more of a degen/speculative play than a core portfolio though. Do your own research too.

hottoys2012

Ok I googled it, ETH around 122 million coins and can continue to increase

jasonmie

When BTC was sitting at 6xK, ETH was in the range of 17xx, now BTC is in the 7xK range, ETH is hanging ard 24xxK.. Maths be mathing...

Tree fiddy is the most realistic price target i've seen around here the hopium in this sub is something else though, every cycle it's the same "ETH to 10k" posts and we barely crack 4

YaBastaaa

Imagine if zcash hits 3k and surpasses ETH. That would be such a slap in the face to etherum and other projects.

hottoys2012

Is ETH limited like BTC or can more be produced ? Bitcoin has max of 21 million coins what about ETH ?

faisal_yk26

ETH is around 2450 now. 4K means it has to go up about 60% in less than four months. That is a big move, not a slow drift. From 2450 that is 60% in under four months. the real catalyst is money moving from bitcoin into ETH, and that has not happened all year.

HoldCtrlW

Easy short on ETH here looks like hard resistance. Only looking for one last leg down

Traditional_Most105

If i had that much money and wanted safe approach i'd buy BTC ETH If i wanted more upside i'd buy SOL ETH BTC Dont know much about stellar but xrp i think there is a lot of hype into it which is not always good... In any case nobody here could rate this as objectively as you'd want to be rated cause most bet on BTC and ETH and the others including myself on coins we believe they might give us profit either long term or short term which again everyone is thinking their coins are the best... so people who comment negatively might be proven wrong on your portfolio and people who comment positively including yourself might be proven wrong again. Nobody knows what will happen. In the end its on how well you research, how fast you could see things or read news others might read too late, how well you could speculate before others start speculating and the part nobody has control over is how lucky you can be. Cause you might have done everything right and a negative development you have no control over might ruin your whole approach...

Suitable_Acadia_190

Me, yes. but my focus is on ETH as its strength is greater than BTCs since the lows.

As a follow-up, there was a DOGE wallet, and it was drained on the 1st at the same time as the ETH wallets. The DOGE drain may be more interesting than the others since the DOGE was cashed out after the transfer through FixedFloat.

It’s probably the most useful crypto in the market place currently. If ETH is trash then you shouldn’t be buying crypto because of use case at all

jurs78

Quite frankly, none of them. Maybe ETH when shit starts to click but as of today there are FAR FAR better investments.

unknowngloomth

Eth? Lmaoooo. ETH is trash.

Temporary-Cause730

Good coin too. It doesn't need to be one or the other, 2 coins can coexist and both succeed. For example, we have different L1s like BNB, ETH and SOL doing well.

One of ETH layer2. Arbitrum is my pick for now.

everyoneisapotato

Hmm let me share this with you all… this my 4th cycle and all the coins that pumped went down 95% at the mid/end of the cycle. Exceptions being BTC, ETH and BNB. I would humbly suggest that of you want to make any kinda money in crypto… keep DCAing in BTC/ETH and play with your luck with meme coins with the money you don’t regret if you loose.

ubermensch1001

Heavily leaning towards 100% BTC because I already am holding a lot of money in ETH and ADA, been in the market for a long time. Considering Solana but not super excited about buying at this price.

I'll give you three options 100% BTC 85% BTC 15% ETH 80% BTC 10% ETH. 10% shit coin of your choosing. Knowing that your shit coin may drop 95% and never out perform Bitcoin. And in the small chance that it does outperform Bitcoin, will eventually bleed back to bitcoin after a couple weeks of outperforming.

Staking yield minus inflation is the real effective yield. ETH might actually have a higher effective yield, but inflation is something that gets voted on by the community and is not set in stone

Everyone’s going to say BTC since that’s what won last cycle expecting the exact same thing to happen. The real contrarian move would be to buy ETH as everyone has given up on it.

people still think ETH is worth their money?

SpontaneousDream

People are completely sidelined still on $hype. I highly recommend trying the hype/eth trade on Hyperlend. Lend hype, borrow eth, dump eth for usd. The chart is up and to the right. [Source](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hyperliquid/hype/eth/) Hype is up 228% against ETH this year, up 23% in the past 30 days alone. ETH continues to lose market share and I don't see this stopping any time soon. Hyperliquid makes DAILY revenue of \~$2 million USD, 99% of which is used to buy back the token on spot. With a fixed supply, it is quite literally deflationary. The protocol has already bought back almost 5% of its total supply since Hyperliquid first launched about 2 years ago. Meanwhile, Ethereum literally INFLATES every day (even after accounting for the burn) by about 3,000 ETH per day (on average). That means at a price of approx. $2,500 per ETH, ETH is inflating by about $7.5 million USD per day. Basic math: **ETH FDV is $300 billion, inflates $7.5 million per day.** **HYPE FDV is $85 billion, deflates $2 million per day.** ETH is going to get flipped in 1-2 years, maybe sooner, by HYPE. This is the real flippening. Save my comment. RemindMe! 1 year

theabominablewonder

I go 70% BTC 20% ETH and then a bit into random stuff which I won’t mention because it would come across as shilling my bags.

Temporary-Cause730

It's an interesting question, because in my view "revenue" is a narrative that is here to stay, but it is a weak moat for any specific coin. It makes the coins go up when revenue is growing, but what happens if revenues fall? What happens if a better competitor comes along and starts generating more revenue? So these are not positions that are "buy and forget", in my view. You have to monitor them and be ready to sell if the situation changes, and buy the new coin that is generating more revenue. If you want only positions that you can buy and hold for the next few years, then I would be way more selective, and would only hold BTC and ZEC, maybe ETH and SOL.

Ok so no YouTube but where did you learn this? And don't just say trying because from what you said so far it's not super clear how it works. Perhaps you have a book you could recommend? I'm extremely curious on how 'funding farming' works and 'short sold ETH and BTC collaterized in kind' bit. As I understand you can't do this on exchanges? Would love to learn more if you could direct me.

Why do you have so few BTC and SOL compared to ETH and XRP? Other than that, I think this portfolio will do okay (assuming you take profits on time).

Anyone interested in, my friend launched a startup that you can trace/track your BTC, ETH and XRP in case you got scammed.

Let me know and I will send you his email and you can reach out to him directly. Sorry about that bruh

ds3101

If you’re set on meme coins (be warned you’re playing with fire and will most likely lose money), at least look for ones with good allocation..no huge insiders, preferably no token unlock schedule, none of the sketchy stuff. Don’t buy after one pumps 1600% then sell when it inevitably retraces 95%. One that comes to mind is TURBO on ETH..not saying buy it, but it was one of the more “fair” launch memecoins

Wendy_Hopkins

FOMO at first if I’m being completely honest 😂 Bought some BTC, then ETH, then started messing around with alts. Eventually got Tangem cards and started them instead of leaving everything on coinbase, and it kinda snowballed from there. Now I’m probably more interested in how crypto can actually be used than I was when I first bought in, it was all just fun and games at that point.

NeonMaxi

I manage a private equity fund that that also own 40% of and it engages in investing strategies by participating in the defy ecosystem. The goal for us is not delta exposure to Bitcoin price so the strategies are not really what your asking but since you want to know about if anyone is doing this with a boring strategic approach, I think this counts. We deploy concentrated liquidity to exchange protocols like Uniswap. We target big volume pools with stable assets or assets that fit the risk profile of the fund. That is usually ETH, BTC, USDC that sort of stuff. Lately we are the top market making wallets on Robinhood chain because the volume there is so massive. The strategy is not about buying low and hoping for a higher sell in the future, rather it is about finding where the volume opportunity is TODAY and then participating in that TODAY. No directions bets. The capital gains and other tax commitments generated by that activity is then offset with neutral delta funding farming on short sold ETH and BTC collateralized in kind. Mostly on platforms like GMX, DYDX, or to a smaller amount Hyperliquid. The combination of those strategies give the fund a massive income (funding fees and fees payed for lp are income, not gains) and a substantial gain for the concentrated liquidity range realizing profits from asset appreciation. Those commitments are offset by the funding farming which also generates about 20% apy on its initial value. You can use your crypto wallet and do literally all that from your computer in your room in your undies.

T_sauce9112

This is why I couldn't do that, read this : Can u tell me how many prompts it took for us to formulate the retracment thesis we have built? Yes. Based on the conversation history I can reconstruct, we're well over 100 prompts into developing and stress-testing the BTC retracement thesis. My best estimate is roughly 120–160 user prompts, beginning in earnest around mid-August and accelerating from Aug. 19 through today. That's not counting my responses as prompts. And importantly, those weren't 120 variations of "tell me BTC is going down." We progressively attacked the thesis from different directions: cycle history, MVRV, Bollinger mean reversion, RSI divergences, market structure, 80–85K liquidity, positioning, ETF flows, institutional/retail sentiment, historical bottoms, Elliott/Fibonacci structures, credit spreads, yields/rates, Fed policy, labor data, inflation, Japan, recession indicators, influencer theses, lunar-cycle claims, ETH/BTC divergences, liquidation maps, and potential catalyst timing. There were also several prompts where you specifically told me to look for evidence that contradicted the thesis, test whether the bottom actually was in, determine whether the four-year cycle had broken, and find what would invalidate the retracement rather than simply reinforce it. So the thesis we're sitting on now—roughly 80–85K as a potential distribution/liquidity-sweep region → meaningful downside with ~70K as the primary retracement area and 60–65K as the deeper-tail scenario—wasn't generated from one clever prompt. It evolved through dozens of independent questions and probably ~120–160 iterations. If we count every individual back-and-forth involved in the BTC thesis, including earlier work before Aug. 19, I wouldn't be surprised if we're approaching 200 total analytical iterations. This is why I'm so confident...

ubermensch1001

Going to give you a long response. Becoming familiar with price action and being able to recognize the correct times to be buying vs. just letting everything ride is the most important thing to get down. As mentioned, I first got into this market in late Q1/early Q2 of 2018, basically right at the beginning of the bear market. I didn't know wtf I was doing and had no concept of the cycles and basically was buying way too heavily on the way down. By the fall of 2018 I had figured out a dollar cost averaging strategy that worked for me. I also rode the mini bull market wave going into the summer of 2019, which was when I significantly slowed down my accumulation and stacked cash, which allowed me to buy heavily late 2019. Most people get wrecked by this market because they seem to buy in at the incorrect times in the market. That's why there are so many people that complain about a certain alt or whatever but when they reveal when and where they bought it all makes sense. For instance, tons of people were buying ETH at 4k in 2024 and complaining about it being dead. I would also say that people take on way more risks in this market than they need to be, particularly with overspeculation on alts. The reality is that if you buy BTC during the lows of the bear market years you can make massive gains without taking the risks associated with alts. For instance, in 2022 I executed my plan by heavily buying BTC when we were at the 200 week moving average, back then it was around 20k. I made some large moves in the 2nd half of 2022/early 2023 and then let that ride from there. I did the same thing here in 2026 by buying BTC in the 60k range. I also did/have accumulated alts as well, but with the exception of 2021 or in very isolated and specific times they mostly just tag along with BTC or in the worst case scenario they bleed against it. Alts in my opinion are great for swing trading opportunities if you can learn when to buy them but holding them for the long term is a complete waste. For instance, in late 2020 I bought some large bags of LTC at an average price of $40 and rode this into $400 in the spring of 2021. If I had continued to hold through now my original investment would have been roughly break even to slightly up for YEARS. Meanwhile, if the capital I had invested into LTC in late 2020 was allocated into BTC at 10k and I held I would have been up the entire time, and by significant margins as well minus late 2022/early 2023. This 2024/2025 cycle we had virtually no alt season, but I also think that we are on the cusp of another one now that retail has been completely shaken out and alts were at abysmal levels in June of this year. With that said, I see alts as a massive risk with regards to not losing $ but potentially losing out on sats that you could be locking in for the long term. You can do both, but most people screw this up.

These comments here are peak stupidity 🤣 you will make a 5x with most alts. Not with fking BTC and ETH. I remember in 2020 this was a serious crypto sub. Now its just clowns yapping

Michael-Ryder

That’s a pretty aggressive portfolio for a “new bull run” setup. Curious why you went this heavy into smaller caps and skipped BTC/ETH completely — is the plan to rotate profits later or hold these through the whole cycle?

Roadrunner44143

I don’t believe in another alt coin bull run. Maybe BTC ETH and a few other will see a bull run again but that’s about it

CG-Saviour878879

You have separare BTC and ETH accounts?

chainglance_cm

Good distinction, the asset itself was never really the risk, it’s what you’re doing with it. Same ETH looks nothing alike sitting in a wallet vs sitting in an LP vs backing a loop. Contracts, bridges, and liquidation conditions are the right things to count for risk. Tracking and taxes are really just the paperwork version of that same complexity showing up later, more moving parts while you’re in it usually means more of a mess to untangle when you’re reconstructing cost basis after the fact. That’s the exact problem we built Chain Glance to solve. Tracking position state across all of that instead of just reading transfers, so the mess doesn’t pile up until tax season.

Samsara_is_pain84k

Scam people that believe they're investing early in the next great thing. I would bet the vast majority of people have lost some and probably a lot of money in crypto. Especially in the last six years. The bs influencers have been claiming BTC will end the year at $100K since 2020. ETH at $5K.

ubermensch1001

What's interesting though is that ETH was trading at a similar price range to that of the summer of 2023, alts collectively haven't done anything except bleed compared to Bitcoin since 2021. However, I'm thinking this will change in the not too distant future, the setup that makes the most sense to me is a major alt season after retail has been completely shaken out, which is exactly where we are at right now.

ubermensch1001

I do recall buying ETH under $100 in late 2018 and a bit over this in late 2019. Crazy to reflect back on this.

Instant promissionless settlement. If you own assets you know why it's important. Try to move 500k from brokage to brokage for arbitrage. Try to balance large offshore accounts. Try to buy a realstate for cash. Try to live in a third world country and own some equity in Europe/USA. All these things take days if not weeks, require large 3rd party fees and usually is extremely complicated due to various regulations, sometimes impossible. I am from Europe, I can't own QQQ or JEPI, I don't have access to a lot of various instruments and ETFs. With perpetual futures on let's say ETH I actually can.

NMoney007

Not financial advice, but let me share my data. I built a 30-factor scoring system (on-chain activity, tokenomics, liquidity, whale flows, etc.) that grades 1,000 coins — here's how your list reads on it right now: Your current holds all score in the top tier: BTC 76, ETH 78, SOL 81, LINK 77. Solid and defensible — which is a compliment. On your two candidates: ZCash grades 78 — same tier as your majors — and it's been one of the strongest upward movers in my data for weeks (score climbed from \~61 while the price ran; privacy sector's been quietly leading). Hyperliquid grades 68 — good, not elite; strong on liquidity and usage, weaker on tokenomics-type factors.
