ETH

You could buy ETH first and then swap it for USDT or USDC once you have it in a compatible wallet That may be easier than trying to buy USDT directly with PayPal

BTC and/or ETH, hold. Offline hardware wallet.

First I'm not very bullish on crypto. I think the last global crypto market cap ATH is not far from being the highest ever. And on the 10~20 years horizon I am bearish on PoW networks. The Ethereum ecosystem will probably grow and stay strong for a very long time if not forever, but it doesn't seem very likely to me that the coin ETH captures much value from the ecosystem growth. With how ETH functions at the moment I don't see it getting a lot of value.

TasteLegitimate3964

keep it extremely simple: pure BTC or a 80/20 BTC/ETH split. since you don't want to follow news or trade, avoiding altcoins entirely will save you a lot of headache

VettaQ

Two separate questions get tangled here: why ETH is up, and why your other coins are down. For the second one, a useful check is to stop measuring in USD for a minute and measure each holding against ETH or BTC. A lot of the long tail has been bleeding against the majors for a couple of years regardless of headlines - liquidity and narrative rotate, and when nothing rotates into your bucket there just isn't a bid. ETH had its own flows this window, so it decoupled from the tail. None of that tells you what to buy or sell, but 'my coins are broken' vs 'my coins are the wrong beta bucket' are different problems, and the second one is the more common answer.

Post is by: olyvian and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1wlj5ro/i_built_a_site_so_i_can_understand_the_crypto/ Every site I used shows the market a few coins at a time, and I wanted to see the whole thing. So I built a site which has the whole top \~1000 on one page, with a bar at the bottom that rewinds the ranking to any day this year and plays it forward. You can look up one coin's RSI anywhere, but I could never see whether that coin was oversold or the whole market was. So there's an indicators page where every coin in the top 1000 is a small dot with its logo on one chart, rank along the bottom, RSI up the side, and the zones are coloured so you can see how much of the market is overbought or oversold. Same timeline bar at the bottom, drag it to any day this year or press play. I can't attach an image here, so this link opens the chart set to June 8, the most oversold day this year, with 1000-ish coins on it: [https://coingmi.com/indicators/?d=2026-06-08&n=1000](https://coingmi.com/indicators/?d=2026-06-08&n=1000) That day 28% of all coins were under RSI 30 and another 36% under 40. BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, LTC and AVAX all in the oversold band. You can drag a box around a bunch of coins to follow them, and the bar shows their average change from that day as you play forward. I drew a box around everything oversold on June 8 and pressed play to today: those 204 coins are up 67.7% on average (192 of them are still in the top 1000, the ones that dropped out aren't counted, and it's an average, so a few coins that did 10x pull it up). Obviously June 8 turned out to be about the best day to buy anything this year, so don't read too much into it. The point is you can try it on any day and with any set: the overbought ones, the top 100, one sector. There are 15 indicators in the picker, RSI is just the one everyone knows. MACD against its signal line went in this week, so you can see what share of the market is above its signal line on any day (it went from 88% to 9% inside a month at the start of the year). Also distance from the 90-day average, how far below the one-year high, correlation and beta to Bitcoin, 30-day change against Bitcoin's, volume vs the month before, etc. You can show the top 100, 200, 500 or all 1000, and the coins you follow stay highlighted when you switch. I'm looking for feedback, so if there's something you'd want added, or something that would make this more useful for you or others, let me know! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

BTC & ETH, and nothing else.

Blackiris-Code

I'm not especially bullish on ETH, but it would give a lot of useful informations to learn about the details of how Ethereum evolved and why changes were made, and past and present debates about what to do for its future. Since Ethereum appeared it has something to do with pretty much everything that happened in the crypto world.

If you want the safe way with less upside go BTC and ETH. If you want something with more upside then look on altcoins that are in the top 50 or top 100, make sure they are not memecoins, have a working project behind them, a trending narrative, good tokenomics and either put all your available money on one, or diversify and hold long term. For example some of my goins i will hold long term and dca on them are LINK, HBAR, TRAC, NEAR, TAO. I am not mentioning them to influence you. Do your own research. I dont know if its a good entry point now. But if youre gonna hold long term and dca on any coin you choose then it doesnt matter.

Rich_Signal_1512

Just DCA the whole $400 into BTC every month and don't overthink it. Splitting with ETH sounds more "balanced" but for beer money it's really just doubling your setup and security surface for a diversification benefit that barely matters at this size. Most exchanges let you automate recurring buys so it runs itself. Only real thing worth doing manually every year or two is moving it off the exchange into your own wallet once it adds up to something you'd actually care about losing. Past that, just set it and forget it is the whole strategy.

ETH no longer has energy signature, SOL never had it in the first place. It's more like investing in a company, rather than saving money with an open blockchain

Buy one of the top three. BTC, ETH, or SOL. Everything else is basically irrelevant

oneawesomewave

Buy "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos for 25 USD Wair until you understand how crypto work Buy a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor roe about 100 USD Buy 100 USD of BTC Learn about Smart Contracts, cheap Udemy courses are available for around 25 USD Buy ETH for 125 USD. Buy POL, SOL or ADA for 25 USD. Dabble with smart contracts. Buy two cryptkitties and start a cat farm. The last one wasn't entirely serious. The rest is.

MakCapital

Depends on the data you're looking at but the most popular shares on Uniswap revenue are tracking how much in fees the protocol is generating across its multiple contracts. Not gas to the L2 a specific contract lives on. Not value captured by token. Simply fees collected by all related contracts. More important to track fees distributed back to the protocol's token (via buybacks, burns, distribution for holders, or all of above). Something like Uni needs to distribute majority back to LPs. Majority doesn't reach the token. When you compare to projects like HL the difference is drastic. Also important to recognize that just because an Ethereum L2 is generating enormous fees from user activity that value isn't actually captured by Ethereum (ETH). It's instead directed to the operator of that specific L2. Users don't even need to pay in ETH anymore (wouldn't matter either way, but reduces use case for ETH). Robinhood is slurping up 99% of all execution fees from it's own L2. Doesn't matter which protocols their users prefer. They still get gas fees on a crowded network struggling to scale. Not to mention what they make from tokenization, and the value from voting power over companies that their tokenization provides them. Win win for companies like Robinhood. Not so much win for ETH. A bit of winning for Uni holders. At least until the new L2 honeymoon phase ends and users move back to decentralized networks that actually scale. When/if that occurs, RH will just issue across all scalable networks.

BeenALurkerTooLong

People say Bitcoin but neglect the environmental impact. Each transaction burns the equivalent of half an iPad. Ethereum doesn't have that problem, which is why I have been rotating out of Bitcoin and into Ethereum. You can buy a version of ETH that has build in yield, so it might be a perfect long term beer money solution (rETH, wstETH)

A_Honking_Goose

75% BTC 25% ETH would probably be your best bet. Or just 100% BTC,

magma_lakes

BTC + ETH (and maybe some XMR). Get some BC3 as "practice" if you're not comfortable with BTC yet: https://bc3.network

jekpopulous2

Because the narrative this cycle is centered around RWAs. Outside of ETH the coins that you’re holding have zero DeFi relevance. If you look at the chains people are actually using (ETH, HYPE, SOL, LIT, ARB, etc…) they’ve all been doing pretty well.

Traditional_Most105

But you answered to yourself. You bought at their ATH. That means if their ATH wont be reached and over it then they wont turn green. I joined crypto back in july for the first time. At that time i was lucky that BTC was at 55000 i think and most alts were low. I bought also hbar. Now mine are in the green zone because i bought low and now they rose up. Its simple as that. If BTC is high people are more comfortable putting their money in alts. If BTC drops they sell. Same with ETH. But an altcoin could also rise up even if BTC and ETH are low cause it might get adopted the project behind it and demand of the coin increases.... So if your entries are at the ATH then to go 8n the green zone they need to surpass their ATH.

Fine-Comparison-2949

Think of your dumbest friend and always remember there's someone dumber that's shilling an ETH L2/sidechain token. 

HorsedickGoldstein

I’d stick with BTC and ETH

SpontaneousDream

Hyperlend. If you prefer to do it on Hypercore, you can supply HYPE, borrow USDC at 5% and then use that to short ETH on perps. I wouldn't go that route though

Honest-Mess-812

Bitcoin. Maybe a small amount of ETH and Solana as well.

LavoP

ETH probably. BTC is safest but it’s not good if you want to actually enter and learn about crypto. ETH is the right way to get into crypto applications, adoption, and tech.

Post is by: SmartFlow_ICT and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1wkfsgy/ethusd_smt_divergence_with_btc_midterm_correction/ Hey everyone, sharing my ETH analysis using ICT & Smart Money Concepts. Hope it helps someone. 📊 Bias: Bearish (mid-term correction within a bullish trend) Reasoning: Yesterday, crypto markets saw a sharp pump. Now the market is due for a correction. Ethereum has formed an SMT divergence with Bitcoin: ETH made a higher high, but BTC failed to take its major high. This signals weakness and a potential pullback. Price is currently in the Premium zone, above the 0.25 Fibonacci level (2593.78). The 1H Order Block sits around 2445 – 2434, which aligns with the 100% Fibonacci level. This is our ultimate correction target. Key Levels: \- Resistance / Invalidation: 2662.15 \- Current Price: \~2615 \- Support 1 (0.25 Fib): 2593.78 \- Support 2 (50% Fib): 2543.44 \- Support 3 (0.75 Fib): 2493.10 \- 1H Order Block / Target: 2445 – 2434 Trade Plan (Short): \- Entry: 2625 – 2645 (on pullback + M5/M15 MSS) \- Stop Loss: above 2662 (or 2675 conservative) \- TP1: 2593 \- TP2: 2543 \- TP3: 2493 \- TP4: 2445 – 2434 Confluence: ✅ SMT divergence with BTC (ETH higher high, BTC failed) ✅ Price in Premium zone (above 0.25 Fib) ✅ Mid-term correction within a bullish trend ✅ 1H Order Block as final target ✅ Clear bearish MSS on LTF for entry Invalidation: A close above 2662 with a strong body and BTC making a new high would cancel the bearish scenario. Note: This is a mid-term correction within a bullish trend. After the correction completes, I'll be looking for buy opportunities from the discount zone.

Ethereum nowhere to be found, yet ETH sits at over $300B market cap. Borrowing ETH to supply HYPE has been a craazy profitable trade

I'm guessing you're in the states. Install Strike and set DCA. Carry on with it for a few years. Watch this to understand the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtFOxNbmD38 Now, I don't like influencers and would say stay away from anyone talking about shitcoins, yes even ETH is a premined and centralized shitcoin. Also, don't listen anyone predicting the tops and bottoms. Nobody knows where bitcoin will be next week, month or year. There's one guy that is worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ Watch every single video from that channel.

lynchrw

iska is relative. For every USDC the is one US dollar behind it which is audited. After the last short squeeze when BTC had that big runup ithe leveled out . then there was the upcoming cloture vote and pending FOMC intewar rate action. so I played it safe for a few weeks convert a majority of my crypto holdings to usdc and then they the usdc and earned a family steady 6.9%, which ain't bad really, while BTC was meandering around. So right after the cloture vote and the FOMC meeting I convert from USDC back to Crypto in a certain plan Ed distribution(BTC , ETH and SOL). Plus I keep between 15 and 20% of My overall holdings in USDC and that USDC I still lend and and earn interest on. just a strategy that seems to work to help mitigate downside risk. the bottom line for me ustc is a great place to be somewhat safe probably safe as you can earn a steady good interest rate as opposed to a bank which is less than 2% or money market which is also terrible interest rates and not even insured in some cases. oh one more thing I do with USDC or my rationale behind it. as the portfolio grows I'm maintaining that 15 to 20% in there from gains or new money to help ensure I have money to pay any taxes later the year

There has been a significant amount of things that have changed. IBIT is genuinely no speculative BTC ETF anymore. It’s got $100B+ in assets, and we have live data now that is showing us how much inflows/outflows is happening intraday. And that’s a huge deal. And that doesn’t mean cycles don’t matter, they still do. But what it does mean is we don’t have any data on how cycles can/will run when this has only been happening since 2024. ETHA (ETH ETF) is also attracting a significant amount more inflows lately, and they even have ZEC on there now too. This is a big deal for BTC specifically though because it exposes BTC to millions of more investors who otherwise don’t own a crypto exchange account and maybe don’t want to. They simply just login to their brokerage platform, buy some IBIT and call it a day. If you want to know how significant this genuinely is right now from live readings of the top 5 most actively traded stocks / ETF’s: • IBIT (spot BTC) • BITO (BTC futures) • NVDA • INTC • SPCX

wakerone

Compare the final quote, not the advertised fee. Check the exchange rate, spread, network fee, withdrawal fee, payment-method fee, and minimum withdrawal. P2P can be useful where bank rails are limited or privacy and payment choice matter, but it is not automatically cheaper. I would do one very small transaction first and write down the actual ETH received after every deduction.

LTP-N

You're too emotionally invested. It's all a gamble, nobody cares about use-cases or morals or any BS like that, so ZEC flipping ETH literally means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

CoinGate_Gift_Cards

A dedicated phone helps, but it’s still a hot wallet. For long-term storage, a hardware wallet with an offline seed backup is generally safer. You can use different wallet apps for BTC, ETH, SOL, etc. while keeping the keys secured by the hardware wallet. Also keep long-term holdings separate from any wallet used for DeFi or frequent transactions.

Logical_Lemming

If ZEC flips ETH in price at any point that'll probably be the last straw that makes me sell all my crypto and never look back.

GroundbreakingPage41

This sub is all ETH and then BTC, been that way for years. ETH boys still holding out for their bags to pump.

Impressive-Fig-9532

Not biased at all... /s "If you want me to be completely and totally honest here, about what I actually believe, I think that after just doing a quick Google search, it seems as though some high net worth individuals and hedge fund managers got together and decided they were going to buy Zcash and disclose their holdings, and then that got the other market participants which were mostly retail to join in on the fun, figuratively speaking." right.... What exactly do you think bitcoin is? First few years of bitcoin it went no where. Then Winklevoss, Silbert, Naval, the usual VC suspects got involved in 2012-2013.... Then the corrupt El Salvador government, Blackrock, Michael Saylor the biggest dotcom scammer billionaire creating a ponzi like financial instrument to pump billions into it to bring it to 100K You think all these coins out there, ETH, BTC, SOL, BNC, etc are where they are because of the "community" and not being pumped billions by institutions?

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Knowing ETH, it might not even hit $3K next bullrun lol.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

There's definitely some good reasons for ZEC to pump, but you guys should definitely look at the reasons why ZEC is pumping before jumping in. It's not so much that the news is about anything that exceptional, despite bagholders now trying to call it the "invisible Bitcoin" lol. It's a lot of your typical alt coin news and "partnerships", governance voting, someone famous mentioning ZEC, VC and funds who put money into it, etc...except that it all came out at once. One of the main tech reasons is that the network upgrade should now fix the major security issues, and reduce the block time. So it's not so much that it's doing something exceptional or groundbreaking, it's just that it won't be as shitty. But ultimately the big reason is the ETF. Even in 2026 crypto ETFs are still a big deal. An alt coin getting an ETF is still gonna create a major pump. Whether the pump can sustain is another story. We've seen what happened to ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, BNB, LINK, etc...

TexasBoyz-713

Who hits $2.5k first, ETH or ZEC?

Aazimoxx

Because the ledger of a privacy coin like Monero is not publicly transparent - only the parties to a transaction get its details. So in the simplest sense, if you have Alice send Bob tainted Bitcoin and get Monero in exchange, then Alice sends that Monero to Steve, Steve has no practical way to tell the tainted BTC had anything to do with that. Steve may then go and convert that Monero back into BTC via his own exchange, for example. Because blockchain and cross-chain analyses are a thing, if each of those transactions were say ~138k worth, and transferred in one lump sum each time within a short period of time, then it would be possible to surface a strong statistical likelihood that the ~133k or so BTC that Steve just got from his exchange, is in fact the 'value' of that initial ~138k of tainted BTC that Alice attempted to launder, minus the various fees and conversion margins that took a chunk out of it along its journey. This is simply from analysis of public BTC activity, with no insight into internal exchange records, or privacy coin transactions, which are opaque. If instead Steve held onto some of that Monero and transacted with it in various other amounts, such as converting 50k to BTC and withdrawing it to his bank account, spending 10k with a computer store via bitpay, and converting 20k to ETH to send to his brother's wallet to pay back a loan, and leaving the remaining 60k in his Monero wallet, then the chances of any chain analysis tying together Steve's money and the initial tainted BTC Alice interacted with, is close to nil.

This is a little late reply, but hope it helps. Did run your portfolio through our portfolio risk engines at [Sentralis.io](https://aentralis.io) (free accounts are available so you can play around with the scenarios yourself) and this is the result: At yesterday's prices the eight positions are worth about $29.9K. XRP is 48% of that value and ETH is 32%. The other six coins together make up the remaining 20%. Whether this portfolio will make 2x or 3x, who really knows? But it's possible to measure how wide the range of outcomes is for these coins. I simulated one year forward from their current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed in either direction. In that simulation 14% of the paths end the year at 2x or more, and 4% end at 3x or more. In the same simulation 47% of the paths end below today's value, and 11% end below half of it. Four out of ten paths go through a drawdown of at least 50% at some point during the year. If the coming year resembles a reshuffle of the last one, which was a bear market, 1% of the paths reach 2x and about half of the paths end below half of today's value. All simulation figures in this reply are model estimates under the stated assumptions, and they are not predictions. A 3x within one year needs a strong bull market on top of what the simulation assumes. Despite the portfolio holding eight coins, in reality it behaves like one position. Over the past year XRP, ETH, BTC and SOL had pairwise correlations between 0.83 and 0.90. In the replay of the bear market from October 2025 to July 1 every coin in your portfolio fell between 50% and 88%. That period on your current holdings gives a loss of 64%, which would take $29.9K down to about $10.8K. BTC alone lost 51% in the same period. Most commenters told you to swap the XRP for BTC, so I ran that version as well. The loss in the worst 5% of one-year outcomes goes from 61% to 55%. The share of paths with a drawdown of at least 50% goes from 41% to 29%. The share of paths that end at 3x goes from 4% to 2%. The swap lowers the risk somewhat, and it lowers the chance of a 3x as well. The portfolio would still rise and fall with the rest of the crypto market.

Peturio

This is a little late reply, but hope it helps. Did run your portfolio through our portfolio risk engines at [Sentralis.io](https://sentralis.io) (free accounts are available, so you can play around with the different scenarios yourself) and this is the result: At yesterday's prices the five positions are worth about $49K, split HYPE 36%, SOL 26%, PUMP 19%, LIT 12% and SKR 7%. LIT and SKR have less than a month of price history in our data, which is too short to model. The risk numbers below therefore cover the HYPE, SOL and PUMP positions only,( 81% of the portfolio). Several commenters treated this portfolio as one single altcoin bet, and the data does not fully support that view. Over the past year the pairwise correlations between HYPE, SOL and PUMP were between 0.51 and 0.66, while BTC, ETH and SOL were at 0.86 to 0.90 with each other over the same period. The difference showed in the replay of the bear market from October 2025 to July 1. SOL fell 66% and PUMP fell 78% in that period, while HYPE gained 29%. That period on your current weights gives a loss of 26%, against 51% for BTC alone. The 26% loss in depends entirely on the rise of HYPE. If HYPE had fallen as much as SOL did, the same replay would show a loss of about 69%. The cost of holding these three coins is volatility. Together they run at about 81% annualized volatility, which is close to double the 43.5% of BTC. I simulated one year forward from current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed in either direction. In the worst 5% of simulated outcomes the three positions lose 69% or more. Seven out of ten simulated paths go through a drawdown of at least 50% at some point during the year, and one in five goes through a drawdown of 70%. All simulation figures in this reply are model estimates under the stated assumptions, and they are not predictions. You wrote that you can manage a drawdown and would start to DCA into it again, so the drawdown sizes matter for how much cash you keep aside. One in four simulated paths ends the year at double the starting value or more. 97% of those winning paths still went through a drawdown of at least 30% on the way. A 30% drawdown is therefore what this portfolio does even in a good year, and a 50% drawdown is what it does in most years.

There's even more longs at risk for ETH if we drop. It only needs to go below $2,350 to start triggering some major liquidations. https://preview.redd.it/qpmy75r1i2qh1.jpeg?width=1273&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04673ada3cf7b334b936bd5febec7c147d84b7c1

RatherCynical

This is a stupid way to frame it. Crypto sources its funds from ordinary banks. People put their savings into DeFi because when banks pay 0-2%, NOT using DeFi is losing money to inflation. That's where all the ETH, DOT, ADA, AVAX, FTM, MATIC, NEAR, and every other NFT going crazy comes from. Without that money, no alt-season. Because we shifted regime from nearly 2 decades of 0-2% interest to a 4%+ interest regime, the death of alt-season happened in 2022. It's never about "crypto being a lifestyle". It's about the money valve getting firmly clamped shut

Post is by: Cezariu and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1whxlsm/betting_on_reversion_started_to_make_sense/ Started out with a pretty standard trend-following setup (EMA/MACD crossovers) across a bunch of coins. Back tested it with real fees and slippage and it just didn't hold up, barely broke even at best. Switched to something way simpler: betting on short-term reversion instead of trend continuation, just on BTC and ETH, on 30min and 1h windows. Actually tested it properly this time, trained on one chunk of history, tested on a separate later chunk, so it's not just curve-fit nonsense. It held up out of sample, nothing crazy, low-to-mid 50s% accuracy, but that's actually enough to matter for fixed-payout bets where breakeven sits around 53-54%. Been running it live for about a month now, roughly 160 calls tracked, 55% hit rate so far. Keep position size small (a tenth of bankroll per bet) and it auto-pauses itself after a handful of losses in a row so a bad stretch can't do much damage. Not getting into the exact logic since that's the part I'd rather keep to myself, but that's the gist, betting on reversion, not trend, and actually validated before going live instead of just vibes. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

There's no real security in ETH since mining ended. If I get two Ethereum chains in contention, I have to go to social media to decide whom to trust to follow a chain True chain of Bitcoin has the highest energy signature. It's trustless, you only need surface information about state of double SHA256 and 70MB of block headers to calculate weight of Bitcoin chain you heard in equivalent Joules and dollars, you can discard lighter fork without listening to any social media noise

Yup agreed, in for like 10 years now, but so glad I sold most of alts, over the last couple of years. The final nail in the coffin was last years 10/10 manipulation. Still holding mainly BTC, SOL, and some ETH, but also went heavily into AI stocks over the last couple of years. AI agents may boost SOL and ETH big time eventually, and maybe soon, but otherwise 99.999% of tokens are crap.

Backtested it with realistic fees + slippage and it just didn't survive, barely broke even at best on any timeframe I tried. Pivoted to a simpler statistical mean-reversion approach on just BTC and ETH, 30m and 1h horizons. Chronological train/test split (not just in-sample curve fitting), and it actually held up out-of-sample , nothing crazy, low-to-mid 50s% accuracy, but consistently above the \~53.5% breakeven line you need for fixed-payout products (I was mainly looking at this for MEXC's Event Futures, binary up/down, fixed \~85% payout, no leverage). Since then I've had it auto-posting every call AND every result live to a Telegram channel, no cherry-picking after the fact, you see the call before it resolves. All-time so far: 88 correct / 71 wrong, \~55% accuracy across both symbols/horizons. Not a money printer by any means, it's a thin edge, and I size small (1/10 of bankroll per bet) specifically because the edge is thin and variance is real. Not trying to sell anything, it's free to watch, but I'd rather not get into the exact signal logic publicly, hope that's fair. Mostly curious if anyone else here has played with mean-reversion on short crypto timeframes and gotten similar/different numbers.

Alt coins for me, were what they were always intended to be. A way to create more bitcoin during bull markets. But that part gets drowned out by the true believers and the ones arguing with them. The vast majority of BTC I own by this point was made from swinging into alts in 2015, 2017, and 2020. ESPECIALLY 2015. Nothing is ever going to top the ETH/Antshares double whammy in 2015 and 2016.

The Senate is voting on whether to move the CLARITY Act forward, and then we’ve got the Fed rate decision right after that. The regulation side feels important longer term, but I’m wondering if the Fed still matters more for price in the short term. If the bill advances but the Fed comes out hawkish, does crypto still sell off anyway? What do you think will actually move BTC and ETH more this week? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

A cloture vote is mostly a test of whether leadership has 60 votes to open debate, not a clean probability estimate for final passage. Even a 58-42 failure can be constructive if the holdouts are bargaining over amendments or jurisdiction, while 60-40 can still leave the bill stuck later. For BTC and ETH, imo the near-term move is probably more positioning cleanup than a lasting regulatory repricing unless the vote exposes a durable bipartisan coalition.

Post is by: _SG9 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1wgeacz/i_track_perpetual_open_interest_across_four/ Method first, so you can pull it apart: I read the four venues' open interest and funding at each UTC close (Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid, OKX) and rank the ETH/BTC ratio against its own 73-session window; ETF flows come from the daily fund files; correlations run over 969 pairs of daily closes. At the September 12 close, 23:59:01 UTC, ETH perpetual open interest was $11.910bn against Bitcoin's $16.971bn. That is 70.18%, rank 1 of the 73 complete sessions since July 3, against a window median of 60.9% and a minimum of 54.4%. It happened on every venue. Between the September 4 and September 12 closes ETH open interest rose 6.1% on Binance, 7.0% on Bybit, 12.1% on Hyperliquid and 9.6% on OKX, while Bitcoin fell 7.1%, 6.5%, 6.3% and 3.1% on the same four. It is also not a price artifact: ETH/BTC rose 6.0% over those eight days while the ratio rose 15.3%, and the dollar size of the Bitcoin book shrank outright. Against the underlying asset the ETH book is 3.888% of a $306.3bn market capitalisation and Bitcoin's is 1.086% of $1,562.2bn, so ETH's is 3.6 times as large relative to its own coin. Funding did not follow. Open-interest-weighted ETH funding closed September 13 at 0.005941% per eight hours, about 6.5% a year, against a 31-day median of 0.005682%, the 53rd percentile. That is an ordinary carry cost, and nobody is paying a premium to be long the perpetual, which is what a short perpetual leg inside a delta-neutral carry book looks like from the outside. The ETH spot ETFs took $189.3M on CPI day, 1.54% of $12.28bn in assets, the cash leg such a book needs. Bitcoin's funds went the opposite way, minus $482.4M over four sessions, 0.5% of $93.58bn. Where I would argue against myself: \- Open interest reports size and never side, so a directional crowd cannot be ruled out, only priced. One that wanted the exposure badly would normally bid funding above its median. \- 73 sessions is the whole claim. My constant window starts July 3, when the venue count went from three to four. \- ETH's 30-day correlation to QQQ is plus 0.012 against a 0.476 trailing 252-day baseline, the 1.28th percentile of 548 days, and to the dollar index minus 0.622. Out of a 969-pair scan roughly ten first-percentile hits are chance alone; the cluster means survive that better, 132 crypto against US equity pairs averaging 0.105 and 22 crypto against dollar pairs averaging minus 0.402, both the 3.6th percentile. \- Friday's CPI print cuts against the dollar-channel reading. In the 60 minutes after the 12:30 UTC release Bitcoin rose 0.85%, gold rose 1.27% and the dollar index fell 0.11%, a dollar-weakness reaction. \- Nearly half of the raw ETH exchange-inflow tape over the last four weeks, 47.7%, is one address depositing every day. Every figure above excludes it. Polymarket and Kalshi both read 79.5% for a 25bp hike on Wednesday, stamped 12:58 UTC today. data + full method: [https://kresmion.com/daily-brief/2026-09-14](https://kresmion.com/daily-brief/2026-09-14) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Are there NFTs that did useful things outside of photos that held up their value, and more importantly, are still being used today for the problem they solved? I’m genuinely interested. What NGTs are holding their value today? As someone who has owned ETH exclusively, I’ve given up on the sales pitch I was given in 2019 that etherium would act as the currency of the micro transaction world. It seems dollars buying tokens have won that game. So ETH itself doesn’t seem to be living up to the hype I originally bought it for. Are NFTs any different?

TheBlacktom

Why is ETH better than any other alternative?

CoinGate_Gift_Cards

If you come from buy-and-hold stocks, don’t feel like you need to trade crypto constantly. A lot of people treat BTC and ETH as longer-term positions and keep smaller, riskier coins to a limited part of the portfolio. The main difference is crypto is far more volatile, so position size matters a lot.

MinimalGravitas

> NFTs have zero use case. You are conflating the entire category of 'NFTs' for just NFTs of pictures. Almost all DEx liquidity positions are recorded as NFTs, the non-fungible token is a record of the type and amount of assets you deposited and the range you are going to provide liquidity over. Many billions of dollars worth of stablecoins and other assets are secured this way. Ethereum Name Service is built on NFTs. These are the 'whoever.ETH' names that people use to designate accounts and avoid typing out the long alphanumeric address keys (0xaBcdD1234etcetcetc) when sending assets. These not only save time and effort, make managing multiple accounts much easier and act as a login for 'Sign-in with Ethereum' sites, they are also great for security as they avoid the risks from clipboard malware that changes pasted addresses. We could go on but I'm sure you get the idea, there are plenty of uses of NFTs that aren't related to tradable profile pictures.

Timely_Food_7352

mexc has been solid for this rally. ZEC volume there actually jumped to #3 right behind BTC and ETH, so liquidity is surprisingly deep. Plus 0 fees and up to 100x leverage if you're playing the squeeze/swings.

SomeonesSecondary

I lost all hope for “crypto” after dabbling in the ecosystem for awhile and realizing being in crypto is such a lifestyle, most people are just never going to dive in. That being said, I will continue to stack BTC and I keep some ETH I don’t have strong conviction for but figure it’s will enough established, might as well have some exposure

Ordinary_Ad3705

Well, it can go down or up, who knows. As long as it's technology doesn't develop or gain more value in different markets, it's price will always depend on BTC and ETH.

outoftownMD

I forgot my codes, didn’t protect them & lost almost 12BTC & 80+ ETH in 2017. I had forgotten I had bought ENJ at ICO at 4c. Happened to find it on an exchange years later and it was 100x’d. Sold immediately into BTC for revival

Ok-Box-918

noticed something weird in BTC but specially in ETH-- every September the last few years so last 6 Septembers: -16%, -11.6%, -12.3%, -2.2%, +5.3%, -5.6%. only one green (2024). thought it was just "sell in september" nonsense until i checked what the Fed was doing each time. every single one of those months had an FOMC meeting mid-month and the tone of it basically called the direction. 2023 they held but talked hawkish -> red month. 2024 they cut 50bps out of nowhere -> the one green one. 2025 they cut again but it was already priced in and ETH still bled after. this year we've got the Sept 15-16 meeting coming and it looks like the sketchiest setup of the bunch. hike odds (not just hold, an actual hike) sitting around 70-87% depending on source. haven't seen that in any of the last few years. new fed chair too, apparently more hawkish and less predictable than powell was. if it actually hikes, my gut says something like 65-70% chance the month ends red, 30% it doesn't, mostly depends on how hawkish/dovish the presser sounds after since the hike itself is basically priced in already. not a call to do anything, just thought the pattern was interesting. anyone else been watching this or am i just seeing noise...and i think BTC also did same from past few years

moonRekt

I don’t think there’s any such thing as a good altcoin. But I bought some cashcat, might DCA into laptop if it stays dropping, and I’ve had XRP/LTC/XLM since my first year of holding ETH is a good altcoin?

I'd separate the regime trigger from confirmation so one composite score cannot hide conflicting signals. For the regime, track BTC dominance alongside ETH/BTC and an equal-weight basket of ALT/BTC pairs. For confirmation, add breadth the percentage of that basket above its medium-term average and spot-volume participation, then require the condition to persist across more than one close. Stablecoin inflows can provide context, but they do not show whether capital will rotate into alts rather than BTC. I've built a trend following algo that I released public few week ago (TrendingCoin.blog) that helps with the per-coin relative trend check. It compares systematic trends in both USD and BTC. It does not ingest dominance or stablecoin flows or send Telegram alerts, so your script would still own the macro trigger.

Schapsouille

Yup. Sold a little in EU last year. The whole process, from proof of source of funds to tax declaration was a pain in the ass. And those were "clean" coins from an adress that just slept and never touched defi. Still got the funds held up for more than a month. At any step they can decide to stop you. I really don't know what I'm going to do with my main ETH address that has 8 years of carelessly playing around.

MelangeBot

It's just a bart. Soon BTC will go back to 60k to close the bart. But alts have already closed their barts, so when BTC dumps back to 60k they will all go even lower. There is a slow consolidation happening from alts in to BTC, the last alt will probablly be ETH. BTC can maintain a 50k price point as long as the money comes from alts getting further wrecked. But once all alts have been wrecked then what?

Paratrooper2000

Where does the 'nova moon -> eth moon' bridge get the gas fees from? I have 0.00004 ETH on arbitrum nova and the gas fee is 0.000024836, but metamask blocks the transaction saying I don't have enough ETH, I'm confused. I had 0.00005 but spent 0.00001 on approving the contract and that went ok.

Preme2

I’m hedged either way but the bears are running out of runway. If we don’t see a stock market correction forming by late September (in 2 weeks) the bottom is in for Bitcoin and definitely ETH. By mid October I’m probably going to be almost fully deployed. I will keep a little cash and won’t be buying after October so if a black swan occurs, I can take advantage.

Griimbald

$50–100/month is totally fine to start. I’d keep it simple with BTC/ETH rather than spreading $5 across 10 different coins

DeadPhish-710

Litecoin is shitcoin #1 and has performed much worst than ETH

unknowngloomth

ETH the most pathetic alt so far. Maybe it will change. But last cycle this coin barely hit new aths. SOL and BNB crushed it even XRP blew ETH out of water..sad.. now Zech and hyperliquid been blowing this coin out of water for 2 years and counting

Traditional_Most105

The real answer is that nobody knows. There could be another altseason or there could be BTC and a few alts only dominating and the rest nothing or a completely new scenario nobody could think of. Speculation on whats happened before could also make it a self fulfilling prophecy so it could come again if people wait for it and act on speculation... In the end its what you believe and speculate... if you want the safer bet its either BTC or ETH. If you want the higher upside you go for the alts you believe in. You just have to accept whatever the outcome is... it might hurt either way. It might hurt losing money and it also might hurt selling alts that later would go to the sky and thinking what if i didnt sell... so choose whatever you want and accept its consequences. Just make sure not to put money you cant afford to lose...

And Chainlink has been one of my best performers with a sub $7.50 average price buy. I can easily see it going up to $30+ along with Btc going up. Hyper will hit $100 easy with some time. Solana will crack $250, ETH will finally break $5,000, TAO will clear $350 and likely go higher to $500 while staking for a minimum of 6% while holding it, AAVE will see $350, and the monero I see going above $900
