Post is by: uamdarasulka and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rk9yo7/whales_are_dumping_everything_except_sol_and_xrp/ Checked the whale book this morning and the whole thing is red. 58% of tracked positions are short across 62 wallets. But two assets are going completely the other direction and the size is hard to ignore. SOL: $71M in whale longs vs $29M shorts. That's a 2.4-to-1 accumulation ratio. While BTC and ETH are getting sold, someone is loading SOL at $87. Not a small position either $71M in active longs is real conviction. XRP: $48M longs vs $10M shorts. Nearly 5-to-1 long ratio at $1.36. Second biggest accumulation signal on the board right now. Meanwhile the stuff getting destroyed: BTC at $68.3K: $439M shorts vs $278M longs. Whales net selling. Not defending this level. ETH at $1,982: $200M shorts vs $99M longs. 2-to-1 short. This has been getting worse every day. ENA: $8.5M shorts vs $81K longs. That's a 99-to-1 short ratio. Someone wants this dead. LINK: $9.9M shorts vs $637K longs. Basically one-sided. HYPE: $55M shorts vs $16M longs. One sharp wallet with a 71.5% win rate across verified trades is simultaneously short BTC and long SOL. Same wallet. The overall book is bearish. But the SOL/XRP accumulation sticking out of an otherwise completely red board is what I keep staring at. Either these two hold up through whatever's coming, or the whales rotating into them are wrong. When positioning gets this split you usually find out fast which side was right. tracking whale wallets at [swarmintellect.com](http://swarmintellect.com) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

$38.7M inflow into Ethereum ETFs pushing ETH past $2k shows **institutional demand still matters**. ETF capital can trigger momentum and break technical patterns, making short-term moves sharper than retail activity alone.

If you’re new and just buying BTC and ETH, sticking with the bigger names is usually the safest starting point. I’ve used Binance and Coinbase before and they’re straightforward, especially for beginners. I also use Nexo personally. I like the interface better and it’s been smooth for buying and holding. Still, no matter which platform you choose, I wouldn’t leave large amounts sitting on any exchange long term. Buy where it feels easiest and safest for you, then move to your own wallet once your stack grows.

So now Vitalik Buterin is hopping on the “vibe coding” AI train. Ethereum has gone from “world computer” to “Bitcoin killer” to sharding to a parade of city-named upgrades to ESG PoS… and now AI. It’s basically a shark-duck that lives in trees a creature so over-engineered, rebranded, and re-narrativized every few years that no one can even tell what it is anymore. Gas, rollups, sharding, blobs, account abstraction… it’s like a Lego set designed by someone who keeps forgetting the instructions. And every time it looks like it’s about to be done, Vitalik or the marketing team slaps on a new story to convince newbs that ETH is still relevant.

Tbh it’s really tough to keep track of the market and decide where to invest. I went through a similar phase back in 2019 and lost a bit of money as well trying to learn how to trade. For people who are new to the space I would def recommend investing in Bitcoin. Alt coins like solana and Ethereum follow Bitcoin’s price action, most of the market does. Dollar cost averaging every month of few weeks is again a great idea to protect yourself from the volatility. Since you’ve not put in a lot of money it’s okay. I would suggest the next time you do put in money in crypto put it in Bitcoin. It is king crypto for a reason. That said I usually allocate only 50% of the amount in alt coins and 50% in BTC. The half you put in alt coins you can divide in ETH, solana or others.

Legitimate_Cry_5194

First advice is don't buy ETH and in general buy only BTC. Second advice is don't day trade crypto. Third advice is don't buy yet. And fourth advice, to answer your question, is use Kraken. Don't expect privacy anywhere, if you are into some illegal shit think twice.

ReceptionSmall9941

A solid framework is to start with BTC/ETH only, then track each buy with a written thesis and an invalidation point before you enter. If you can’t explain the token’s cash-flow/utility driver and major risks in a few lines, skip it for now.

Now, even though we have a geopolitical issue/war, the fear is decreasing due to the continuous pumping of the market. Yesterday, while I was browsing the Nika finance platform, BTC and ETH, SOL, and other alt coins suddenly pumped 70k. Is this a sign that we are at the bottom and will rise?

He suggested developers should consider the possibility that Ethereum’s long-term roadmap could be completed sooner than expected. However, Buterin cautioned that AI-built prototypes created in just two weeks are “almost certainly” filled with critical bugs. Buterin made the remarks in a Feb. 28 post on X responding to a developer who said they built “ETH2030,” an experimental Ethereum execution client targeting “2030+ roadmap” features using agentic coding in roughly two weeks. YQ said the codebase totals about 702,000 lines of Go, claims 65 roadmap items, and syncs with the Ethereum mainnet. “This is quite an impressive experiment,” Buterin wrote, describing it as “vibe-coding the entire 2030 roadmap within weeks.”" -CCN

Kraken or Coinbase Advanced, they are both regulated, insured, and battle-tested. Skip BYDFi, no-KYC exchanges are the first ones regulators shut down and you'll have zero recourse if something goes wrong. For BTC and ETH as a beginner, set up a DCA strategy instead of trying to time entries. Boring but it works.

Sometimes continuously. I usually like to set limit buys to ease my nerves. But, this and my general clown strategy has kept me from anything more than a 2x even till today. I have missed the following, even though I literally had the buy screen open in front of me: 1. BTC at about $250, in 2015 I think: I just kept waiting for it to go to $150, and forgot to track it after 2. ETH at $10, around Feb 2017: to be fair this was more of a technical issue that prevented me 3. ETH at $90 right around the start of the pandemic: setting a buy order about $10-20 below this, even when my model correctly predicted it 🤡 As you can guess, these continue to haunt me. Added to that, I've ended up losing more money than gaining out of this space. 10 years of looking at the price you'd think I'dve had a yacht by now. Fml. I want to avoid all that this time, and I know it's already a bit late to go all in but I can't miss this boat or I'll never forgive myself. As usual, I think I'll set a limit buy but maybe not be this greedy this time.

ethereum has delivered on pretty much everything they said they were going to do. if it was “never ending promises and roadmaps” then the merge never would have happened and ETH 2.0 would still be a pipe dream. but the reality is ETH is now proof of stake and has delivered everything they said they would, and then continues to build further

I will rather stake BTC now than stake ETH, I moved entirely to BTC at this point. I'm staking on Babylon.

Small_Appearance2014

Strong hands stepped in below $63K and the bounce above $65K shows buyers were waiting. If this really was a local bottom, the liquidity flush may have reset positioning for the next move. Altcoins holding up — especially ETH barely down — is a constructive sign. Now the key is whether momentum follows through or this turns into just a relief rally.

ecrane2018

The thing is you can use bitcoin privately, P2P exchange mixers like tornado cash etc. SOL and ETH protocols work very very similarly and with L2s the speed difference SOL provides on mainnet isn’t even a real advantage. If you truly look at most cryptos their advantages are slight optimizations that are often solved by a L2 solution within the other coins ecosystem. Whereas Claude vastly outperforms GPTs code output, and GPT vastly beats out Claude in image generation.

Super-Cut-2175

different coins are good at different things. for example Bitcoin as a store of value, ETH for smart contracts, Solana for speed, Monero for privacy....and many advertise that directly as being "different" from their competitors. You could make the same argument about crypto that you're making about LLMs. The difference is nobody's portfolio goes down when they admit Claude is better at coding than GPT

ecrane2018

Different language models are better at specific things. Whereas if I am an OG Bitcoiner I don’t give a shit about ETH and their NFTs and dev focused ecosystem. ETH and SOL are basically just competing ecosystems that do the same thing leading to the breakage. Then you have the sun layers which all boast various advantages so I don’t even think you could say you are just a ETH user because there is ETH Base, ETH Arb, etc. Claude is way better at coding than say GPT. Grok is a less serious mode conversational model. Various others people are forced to use required by their jobs etc.

I think crypto will end, it is no longer unique. And the idea that it's *"digital gold to hedge against fiat and stock market crashes"* is fucking laughable at this point. The promised utilities front ETH never materialized, it was purely something people were gambling on. Poly market bullshit will kill that. I honestly now believe Bitcoin has no value and soon everyone will also have that conclusion.

Strange no one is mentioning Monad, built from the ground up, including its own data base core, not lipstick on a pig, parallel execution gives it speed like Solana, instant finality, it is built to be EVM ETH code compatible so devs don’t have to rewrite to deploy, moving over is painless and resource conservative, Built by a team from high frequency trading firm Jump Trading, Paradigm is core investor, they recently recruited exec talent: Urvit Goel (formerly of the Optimism Foundation) as VP of Go-to-Market. Joanita Titan (formerly of FalconX) as Head of Institutional Growth. Sagar Sarbhai (formerly of BVNK) as Head of Institutions for Asia-Pacific. The new team members also bring experience from firms such as JP MorganDeutsche BankAnchorage DigitalFireblocks, and Amazon. The mainnet went live in November, during this bear market so the price has stayed suppressed for the time being as they ramp up operations and build adoption. Has all the makings of a legit L1 utility chain with new tech to go the long mile, and is live and operating and growing. .02 a coin, has much room to grow, 5 years to be $1, is a 50x move. 2 cents to 10$ would be a 500X move. It’s similar to Solana when it launched, Solana went from 50 cents to 250$, which is also a 500X move, but Solana launched in a Bull market. The bear market is giving a longer opportunity to recognize the opportunity and decide to create a position. Exactly what I’ve done, working on a 5 million coin position. Then let it ride. Right place right time, is usually what makes momentous gains. And if not it’s just money, not the end of the world. Bitcoin has the store of value locked, the next biggest movers will be the utility chains that are built with quality which can main stream trad if on chain. MONAD is this chain, and it’s just getting going. Look into it if you don’t know anything about it, I’m stoked I did.

ETH 'inflation' could be -50%. It's meaningless if it can be changed on a whim by the creator. ETH tweaks policy more than the fed. Proof of stake was likely the nail in the coffin for this experiment.

Yes — ETH for DeFi & Web3 dominance, SOL for speed & cultural traction, AVAX/DOT for cross-chain growth. BTC leads sentiment, but real alpha comes from high-utility ecosystems. Smart money rotates before retail even notices. Which one do you think will lead next?

Correct_Resource5934

I’ve been looking at token supply mechanics lately (burns, emissions, “real yield”, etc.) and trying to separate marketing from things you can actually verify on-chain. I stumbled onto [Datamine Network](https://datamine.base44.app/) (DAM / FLUX) and I’m mostly confused why it’s not discussed more. **Here’s what I \*think\* I’ve confirmed from their docs / repos:** \- The project dates back to mid‑2020 (FLUX minting is described as starting around June 2020). \- Token design is (at least originally) dual-token: • DAM = base token with an effective capped supply around \~16.876M (their docs mention it was deployed with 25M and a large portion was burned, leaving \~16.876M as the “cap”). • FLUX = minted when DAM is locked (validator-style), and burning FLUX can increase a user’s minting multiplier (so burn is “incentivized,” not just a passive fee burn). \- There’s also an Arbitrum side: • ArbiFLUX exists on Arbitrum (I see an Arbiscan-verified contract; looks like it was verified in Oct 2021). • LOCK (“Lockquidity”) is minted by locking ArbiFLUX. One important nuance from their dashboard docs: burning LOCK is described as redirecting value to the liquidity pool (not necessarily reducing supply like a typical burn). So it’s more like “liquidity reinforcement” than pure deflation. **Audits / security claims:** \- SlowMist audit PDFs exist for both DAM and FLUX (both show a “Passed” result in the audit report). Their community site says the audits were community-funded. **What I’m NOT sure about / where I want outside eyes:** \- I keep seeing claims like “negative inflation” or “huge % of minted supply burned.” Their own pitch deck claims >50% of minted supply has been burned, but I haven’t independently reproduced a clean minted-vs-burned time series. If anyone has a Dune query / reliable method, I’d love to see it. \- Liquidity is still relatively small, which makes any “tokenomics works!” claim harder to interpret (small pools are easy to move). **Questions for anyone who’s looked deeper:** 1. What’s the best way to verify net issuance over time (minted - burned) for FLUX/ArbiFLUX/LOCK without trusting their UI? 2. Does the “burn to earn a higher mint rate” mechanic create any perverse incentives or attack surfaces at low liquidity / low validator count? 3. Any thoughtful comparison between Datamine-style incentivized burn vs ETH’s EIP-1559 (passive burn from usage)? 4. Does the 4-token architecture (DAM → FLUX → ArbiFLUX → LOCK) meaningfully add utility, or is it mostly complexity? Not affiliated, not a buy recommendation, just trying to figure out whether this is interesting engineering/tokenomics or just a niche project with good copy.

Of the majors I think SOL & ETH may do better. I think they are gonna be much more adopted as they both provide much more utility than does BTC.

I reviewed the responsiveness of their merchant API. It allows a business to receive payments in ETH or USDC regardless of what token the customer uses. In an era where merchants are terrified of altcoin volatility, this "translation layer" is the most practical use of an L2 bridge I’ve seen this year. The State of the Presale: I’ve been tracking the dashboard, and the allocation is nearly fully subscribed. Usually, when a project hits this "almost sold out" phase, you see a massive spike in institutional interest because the big "Reserve Managers" want to lock in their staking rights before the public portal closes. The Pros: * True Atomic Finality: Effectively deletes the front-running bot industry. * Compliance Ready: They’ve already finalized listing frameworks with Tier-1 exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken. * Deflationary Pressure: A portion of every transaction fee is used to buy back and burn $QAD. The Cons: * Early Access: The full Mainnet isn't until September, so this is an infrastructure play, not a "plug-and-play" app yet. * Institutional Focus: The "Reserve Warehouse" logic is complex and clearly designed for professional market makers first. Final Verdict: Qadden isn't trying to be a "meme." It's building the high-speed, secure plumbing that the Web3 economy has been missing. If you're looking for a finished consumer product, wait for the fall. But if you want to see how the "Slippage Tax" finally gets killed, keep an eye on this. The window for the fixed-price entry is basically minutes from shutting. Rating: 9/10 (Utility & Infrastructure) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ETH will go to 10k and theres nothing you can do about it.

Just_a_square

I've just started trading a few months ago, but aren't crypto like SOL and ETH also pretty "solid", with valid reasons to exist and an actual path to growth and adoption in the real world? Maybe I'm an idiot but not all crypto look like Doge memecoins to me.

Rough spot man, but you're doing the right thing by reflecting on it. Small caps are brutal - they look like 10x opportunities until they're rug pulls or slow bleeds. That's the hard lesson most of us learn the expensive way. For anyone reading this - start with established stuff like BTC and ETH. Learn how markets actually move before touching altcoins. Position sizing matters way more than picking winners. If you're new, put in what you can afford to lose and keep way too much in stables while you study. Takes time to build intuition for what's legit vs what's hype.

MEXC is a choice for Europe. They offer deep liquidity for BTC/ETH options and maintain VASP status.

I hold Polkadot because of the Nakamoto Coefficient. As much as everyone has their own personal opinion on it, it is extremely decentralized, tech-forward, and completely open source. If I was going to put money into anything, this is it.  If I need to buy something digitally that I can't use a credit card for, I use BTC.  If I want to explore digital infrastructure, I use ETH.  Denying it's uses doesn't mean it is pointless, it's just not as valuable as everyone thinks it is (yet).

Reid Hoffman, famous for various things (which you can look up) is apparently “all in” on ETH. Make of that what you will.

Isn’t 1 and 3 almost the same? Also, there are only SIX alts over $10bn total market cap and all except ETH have less than $3bn daily volume. How is there even an “alt industry” or strategy?

These posts are absolutely hilarious.   This whole bitcoin thing is being rigged.  Anyone who can't see it is naive.  It has become another stock that is pumped and dumped while all the regulars are scrambling.   If you didn't get in back 8-10 years ago then unfortunately it's a bumpy risky rigged ride.  I sold at 100k last "bull run " and this ship has sailed.   People still buy gold.  Not digital gold.  It isn't doing what it was intended to do.  At all.  It's been to "centralized" with institutions to ever be what it could be     Now is the time to buy ETH honestly.  Because no one is talking about it.  Maybe I'm just we turd Ed 🥹

He has a brain! Do you have any idea how much knowledge he has? how many languages he speak? PhD and the fact he made ETH is more then most of us has done in our life time.

Learn from my mistakes, no matter how good the technology is, it doesn't matter. You're going to get your ass kicked. Take it from someone who bought about 1/3 of my current bag of DOT at $25, didn't sell at $50. I sold most of my bag at $5 which ended up being my cost basis. Same with ALGO. I bought most of my bag around $0.30, and then another huge amount at $0.08. And I'm about to sell it all in a few days for barely a profit. (Thanks staking rewards). Both projects are great technology, hell ALGO has about the fastest damn transactions on the market. And DOT is impressive too. But none of that matters if no one uses it. No one uses alts. BTC and MAYBE ETH are the only two that are worth it. Those are my only two bags I made money off of. And the only two bags I'll have left by the end of this year.

So stupid. If you have the ability to get people to invest $328 Million with you, all you have to do is the right thing. You win. They don’t necessarily have to win either. But as long as the investment was legal and legitimate, it’s their risk. This dude could have just put $328 Million into 20% BTC/USDC, 20% BTC/USDT, 10% ETH/USDC 10% ETH/USDT, 20% Stablecoin Liquidity Pools/Lending protocols like AAVE or Morpho, and the last 20% into US Treasuries or on chain treasury tokens from legit sources. He could take a management fee of 1% of what is invested, a performance fee per year. Any year someone is up, he gets paid handsomely. Any year the customer is down, he still gets paid 1%. If he could have just lasted another 4 years, it’s likely he would be managing 400 Million doing absolutely nothing except putting money in and out of liquidity pools and generating reports to whomever asks for details. I never understand why people do t just invest the money into an index fund. Although it’s wrong to lie, the Ponzi dudes can promise massive returns and just invest in an index fund and do nothing else. Just keep talking about your proprietary research and experience. Anyone that wants their money out, pay them. They will get the market return and compare that to their other portfolio and probably have little to argue about. They will have made a profit, just not as much as they hoped. That’s investing.

Looks like it was the 4-year cycle. I roundtripped my bags for a second time by getting trapped in the narrative of "extended cycle" just because of reasons like ETH did not pump as much into price discovery, lack lustre altseason etc...

Alt coins are risky, all the big money going into bitcoin. The next big thing is Ethereum. Leader in smart contracts. It smaller competitor is Solana, it's better at scaling. Chainlink has potential for tokenisation. Litecoin for cheap payments. Xrp code is used by banks. I think it's overhyped crap but time will tell. Polkadot is complex. I heard it's not user friendly whatever that means. ICP is complex. I don't understand it but it's close to 0. ETH has the most money behind it so I think it's the safest bet. All others you have to be a believer.

I got into ETH in 2015 at 88 cents ….it out bit my children through college with masters degrees ……it also let me retire at 46…..what did you say about scams 🤔🤔

This-Adhesiveness-52

Bear market, BTC go's down, drags all alt coins with it. Maby some new coins can do a pump and dump but that just it. BTC drags all alts down, when BTC recovers ETH will go up again but the bear markets can last a long time, the cryptonerds say untill october and they mostly right so i'm buying the dips untill october. Eth slowly dropping to 800euro and then back up to 5000euro, so i do think the money is there but it takes time and it still a long time till october. Hope it stops sooner with all the big banks and wallstreet buying but retail investors mostly return when the prices hit rock bottom -70% or -80% and we still a long way off from that. It's only -50% for now.

Vitalik dumping ETH: "That is nothing. Won't affect the market." Vitalik stops dumping ETH: "That is bullish. Up only now."

Longjumping-Row-6147

Agree 100% with what people are saying about chasing 100x - those days may be done and you are far more likely to get scammed, rekt and or just round trip your money because you dont take profit. From someone who has been there, and someone who has invested in what i consider solid coins with staying power and good fundamentals (i.e. LINK, XRP, SOL) even then your best bet over the next couple years is to stick with BTC and ETH. It is an illusion that somehow "they have gone up so much so cant possibly go up more and make me money". We have a handful of projects now that have survived bull and bear markets and a graveyard of projects that have not. Do what you want of course but if i were you I'd bolster your position in those bigger - established coins you mentioned! Good luck!

Sono giovane e col semplice desiderio di aumentare anche di poco il patrimonio invece che tenerlo fermo sul conto. Credo nelle crypto e al momento ho \~400€ in BTC e \~600 in ETH (stake). Vedo il primo più come una riserva di valore e il secondo come un investimento equity style perché credo nel progetto e in una futura esplosione di prezzo. Guardando un po’ i vari indici su kraken pro mi sono fissato con lo spot ETH/BTC e ho pensato: ha senso trasformare BTC in ETH quando il rapporto è basso e fare il contrario (ETH>>>BTC) quando si alza? In questo modo userei la forza di uno per compreare più dell’altro e sfruttare l’oscillazione del valore per ricomprare più dell’uno per comprare più dell’altro. Sostanzialmente giocare sulla fluttuazione del rapporto fra prezzi per piano piano aumentare la quantità di coins sia di uno che dell’altro senza immetterci un euro. So di non avere scoperto l’avqua calda e che questa cosa probabilmente la fanno già tutti nel trading. Ma essendo nuovo ho dei dubbi su quando effettivamente riesca ad aumentare il capitale di crypto in questo modo. Non so calcolare (più che altro per pigrizia) quando potrei guadagnare con sto giochetto. Per dire: una settimana fa il rapporto stava a 0.028, ora è a 0,0303. Aveva senso convertire BTC in ETH prima e riconvertire ETH in BTC ora? e poi, a fronte di un nuovo abbassamento, ripetere il giochino. Cosa ne pensate? Ha senso o è una perdita di tempo? (considerate che non convertirei ogni volta tutto il capitale. starei sui 100/200 euro di monete da convertire) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

17k ETH is not small change even for Ethereum royalty

Fear_Blind83

Now he's only got 224,106 ETH left... Poor Guy 😔

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The wallet associated with Vitalik.eth has sold a cumulative total of 17,196 ETH as of February 26, 2026, surpassing the planned sales target of 16,384 ETH by 812 ETH. The total transaction value is approximately $34.96 million. The sales were conducted through multiple transactions, with all movements traceable via blockchain records. The phased execution pattern indicates a gradual reduction in Ethereum holdings, and the wallet activity continued even after the planned sales volume was reached. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.
