Post is by: xtarsy and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rrsptj/745_smart_money_wallets_are_short_eth_and_sitting/ Hi everyone, been tracking on-chain positioning on Hyperliquid for a while (I did some data analysis on skill-rated wallets). This week's data is worth sharing. Most tracked coins have a modest bearish tilt right now, net biases of -30 to -42. ETH is completely different. 745 high elo wallets are short from around $2,243, net bias of -249, which is nearly 6x the next largest short and bigger than every other coin combined. At today's \~$2,048 the position is sitting on 8.67% unrealized profit. The position being right is also what makes it dangerous. 67% consensus means it's a crowded trade. If ETH catches a bid, $541M needs to exit through the same door at the same time. Here's why it hasn't unwound after 22 days: smart money is being paid to hold on both sides. The ETH short earns funding (paid to short), BTC longs ($768M) are paid to long, and HYPE/SOL/XRP longs are all paid to long too. When the market pays you to hold a profitable position there's no rational pressure to exit. That's structural stickiness, not conviction. The one crack is HYPE. 838 wallets short from $33.16, now at $36.94, sitting on -11.41% unrealized. It's the only losing position in an otherwise profitable book. If covering pressure builds there, worth watching whether it spreads. Last thing: the top-50 rated wallets by performance are unanimously short speculative alts (BABY, XMR, XAI) while the broader wallet population leans long on those same names. The best performers are running a harder bear playbook than the crowd. We're on Day 22 of a RISK OFF regime. These don't break on scheduled news, they break when the crowded side is forced to move. What's your read on ETH here? Is the crowded short a sign of conviction or is the exit risk being underpriced?

You can trade any crypto for XMR on MEXC without KYC (be sure to use an offline 2FA app and a non-kyc email address). You can also use Retoswap to buy Monero directly, or Bisq to buy Bitcoin first then swap for Monero also on Bisq. I've used all three methods but I now prefer Retoswap.

BTC, ETH and XMR. Long term they are all you really need. The others are just attempts at 1 of the 3 I just listed.

BTCWallahFXEmpire

For a medium risk/reward $1200 portfolio in March 2026, I'd split it like this: * FET (Artificial Superintelligence Alliance) — 40% (\~$480) Strong narrative and utility in AI agents/infra, solid medium-risk upside if AI sector grows. * HYPE (Hyperliquid) — 35% (\~$420) Top-tier on-chain perp DEX with CEX-like speed—high volume, top-15 rank, good growth potential in DeFi trading without extreme volatility. * XMR (Monero) — 25% (\~$300) Defensive hedge against surveillance/reg risks, steady demand keeps it less wild than most alts. Diversified across AI, DeFi trading, and privacy. My preferred themes for the coming years.

DangerHighVoltage111

Look at the chart since 2021. While LTCs "silver to gold" strategy didn't play out, real p2p coins like BCH and XMR are gaining. The market looks like it has shinies everywhere but that's just divide and conquer tactics. There are only a handful of sound, scaling p2p cash blockchains out there.

ReallyOrdinaryMan

Insider trading at its finest. This explains why XMR increased %100 when all other coins dropped by %50 or more.

I don't need your money, you keep 100% of profits (and 100% of risk, naturally), I just need more testing. The bot currently only works with CoinEx exchange, If you have an account there, you can create a sub-account and give me the API key for it (I won't be able to withdraw your money using the key, only trade). I will then spawn a copy of the bot on my server that will use your key to trade with your capital. You will get access to a simple control panel + notification on each trade in Telegram. I have traded with 3 instruments so far (LTC, XMR, HYPE). For two days it showed \~3,600% APR.

Bitcoin has the most trust, backing and confidence. That probably matters the most when it comes to a currency (the same reason why gold is used as a currency and not some other equally rare metal or metal with superior chemical properties). Monero is the best as a currency for payments that respect privacy. That leaves Ethereum with the 'rest', which is other tokens, smart contracts, etc. That matters more when the flexibility of the technology matters, but right now the volume of transactions isn't enough to push it beyond the growth rate of BTC and XMR. In the future? Who knows. But right now people value trust and anonymity more than anything else (not at the same time, some value trust and growth, others value privacy, so each has its own clientelle).

TJames6210

Rumored that it mined XMR. Makes sense I guess.

Absurd_Zer0

Check out Monero (XMR)

EarningsPal

Probably XMR

JE2530

I like the privacy coins. BTC XMR ZEC LTC but I’m holding off until this bear bottoms.

0xZennite

The Binance Simple Earn + limit order combo is honestly one of the best features out there and it's frustrating more exchanges haven't copied it. For KAS and XMR specifically, your best bet might be to split the strategy — keep stables earning in a flexible savings product and set up TradingView alerts with webhook triggers to auto-buy via API. Not quite as seamless as Binance's one-click setup, but it catches those flash crashes without leaving funds idle. OKX has decent earn products with quick redemption times which helps if you go the alert route.

EarningsPal

Maybe buying SOL because of the large number of transactions buying NIGHT because it’s 1.3 Billion fully diluted and could be worth 13 Billion even before it proves itself. It just needs to turn on mainnet, get some stable coins, private BTC defi, and a few hype partnerships. SOL is 52 billion fully diluted. I personally like the idea of private DEX and a way for people to privately swap coins and tokens. I just assume this would get a lot of volume. Traders would want to trade stables and coins privately. Also, routes like BTC, XMR, into stables privately.

GBoss72

Oh so you’re just upset about reality got it! Look through my posts I have never posted about XMR once before this. I don’t shill for anything. I am informing on basic facts. Either understand them or a refute them base off your ironic shilling. I am simply saying that XMR is the ONLY everyday person user friendly coin left that can be mined and is fungible without being back wrapped in fin institutions.

Etrensce

I'm not, I'm still laughing at XMR shills shift their own narrative in real time. XMR price goes up? "suck it other crypto holders, XMR decoupling from BTC!1!1". XMR price in the gutters? "Nah I'm in it for the tech/privacy, XMR is the true people's coin unlike centralised BTC."

GBoss72

If your “decentralized” coin needs exchanges, ETFs, and chain analysis firms to function, you lost the plot. Mock it all you want but XMR still runs the original vision. Private, fungible, no tentacles.

GBoss72

I agree. I am part of that small percentage sorry for being delusional. At least as I stated XMR can show me some sanity from perceptive delusion! 😂

Post is by: Refrigerator000 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1rn0etv/which_exchanges_let_you_earn_apy_on_stablecoins/ I like to set deep spot limit orders (stink bids) that might sit on the order book for months before filling. I want to continue earning yield on my USDT/USDC while waiting for these orders to hit. Here is my dilemma with the current platforms: * **Binance** does this perfectly. You can check a box to use "Simple Earn" funds, and your USDT continues to pay daily APY while the limit order sits open. The problem: Binance delisted Monero * **Kraken & Bybit** just freeze the funds entirely in the spot account (0% APY). **My Question:** Are there any trustworthy global exchanges that offer true **yield-bearing open limit orders** like Binance does, but actually have good altcoin support (specifically $KAS and $XMR)? I know I can just keep funds in Earn, set a TradingView price alert, and buy manually when it drops, but I am looking for a "set and forget" system so I don't miss flash crashes while I'm sleeping Any recommendations would be highly appreciated *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

I agree with 100% of what you said, the nakamoto consensus shouldn't even be considered an option. I also consider scaling to be as important as decentralisation. If a project can't scale like Bitcoin, ETH or XMR... It is doomed to require a separate institution to handle large demand. There is only one project that to my eyes respects 100% of the cypherpunk value to remove the need for third parties. Kaspa. I invite you to study it, Kaspa is still a work in progress but it can already handle 158M real life transactions in 24h without any signs of overloading. The scalability is pictured to increase by 10x that in the coming year... All this while respecting the Nakamoto consensus, with affordable fees, with sub 1 second transactions, staying 100% decentralized and including real programmability.

GBoss72

You’re wrong on scarcity. ETFs don’t kill Bitcoin’s 21M cap, but they worsen centralization: BlackRock/Fidelity custody massive BTC $130B+ AUM, creating huge single points of failure for regs, freezes, and seizures. BTC was always pseudonymous, not anonymous, fair. But transparency breaks fungibility. Tainted coins get tracked/blacklisted, exchanges reject them. Most users still hit KYC ramps/exchanges anyway, so institutional tentacles win. XMR’s mandatory privacy = no taint, true cash-like equality. No blacklists. That’s the real sovereignty BTC lost to ETFs and ecosystem capture. Happy avoiding heat? Sure. But don’t call it decentralized when it’s captured.

LevelSevenWizard

Are there any other coins with such strong privacy measures that they are removed from crypto markets and even banned in some countries? IIRC the FBI has a $150k\~ bounty out for anyone who can crack the XMR encryption. Theyve had the bounty out since at least 2017 and no one has claimed it. It's the best and might be the only coin without an inbuilt backdoor

Majestic-Tadpole8458

This is a reason why Monero has a tail emission of 0.6 XMR to incentivize miners (RandomX, non asic) to keep doing their thing. 51% attack still a risk with nation state actors having huge resources at their disposal.

Eso de meter todo en una cripto como bitcoin no es rentable, ya que otras crecen a mejores tasas de rendimiento.

Una buena cartera debe tener BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, TAO (ligada a IA), LINK, XRP, DOGE, PEPE y la que medio alto rendimiento mientras todas caían XMR.

Past_Expression54646

best coin to buy is BTC or XMR.

BTCWallahFXEmpire

1. Its not a switch between Bitcoin and Litecoin, ofc. The point is allocation of resources to mine undervalued assets like Litecoin. 2. Source? 3. Enough fundamentals are attached to LTC, with privacy narrative leading for now. More mining doesnt help prices (if there's no demand on the other side). But to say there won't be any demand for LTC, an OG PoW asset, when Bitcoin becomes scarcer, is too much. Litecoin can exist in the same ecosystem as ZEC/XMR. We just saw them pop outta nowhere. One supertrend is enough.

OnionTaster

I don't like it I use only XMR

LexxM3

BTC for anti-money-supply-manipulation store of value. XMR for self-determination and privacy. ETH for blockchain applications technology. There are a few others that are technically (but not financially) interesting. —— SCAM LINE STARTS HERE —— Then there are a 100 thousand useless memecoins. Then there are government stable coins.

My main holding is BTC then ETH and a little XMR and SOL just to be diversified. I would stick to only BTC and ETH

inadyttap

XMR down 60% from ATH, good time to buy?

quantum_burp

1) it runs on a different hashing algo so nobody is moving to mine it 2) most of the profit from mining ltc came from doge, but that's down 90% or something 3) more mining isn't going to make the price go up There is no niche that LTC fills that other networks don't fill better. Store of value? -> BTC payment network? -> BTC + lightning, or any stablecoin on an eth l2 Privacy coin? -> ZEC/XMR The only reason LTC has any value is because coinbase listed it alongside btc, eth and xrp in 2017. Since then the people who initially bought it keep buying more.

DangerHighVoltage111

XD. Then use Atomic swaps between XMR and BCH. The point is, anger and propaganda clouds your judgment. Take a look, you will be surprised how BCH developed. Good Luck.

No. Keep the usecase separated. XMR for privacy. Don't want or need the half-assed hybrid shit BCH or ZEC offers

XMR 👀

Past_Expression54646

Litecoin is not privacy by default like XMR. Also XMR's privacy is at a highest and more robust level. I really consider XMR and BTC the only cryptos with a current functional use (digital cash and digital store of value) but it's exciting to see other cryptos and i certainly own others as well. But I view other cryptos besides BTC and XMR as basically World of Warcraft Gold with bells and whistles. I am looking forward to a easy to use crypto that in integrated into Chrome browser that can do very easy and quick micro payments. Metamask had potential but they kinda stalled out on it so far.

GeorgeOrrange

study the documentary Idiocracy by time traveler Mike Judge to understand how it gets ever easier to find ever greater fools many long term holders did exit this cycle and at least some switched to BCH and I would guess some moved to XMR.too the funniest(and most revolutionary) thing would be if everyone left institutions holding the bags for a change and BCH flips BTC at around 10k

You definitely need to look into Tangem. It looks like that's what you're describing for a cold wallet. The only thing I saw on your list of crypto choices not available on Tangem yet is it doesn't have XMR, but I wouldn’t let that be a deal breaker. Tangem also came out recently with some new features where you can break your crypto into different portfolios. From security and simplicity, it’s my top pick.

PassengerRecent7002

Utility is what keeps XMR alive while hype coins die. It’s the only true "currency" because it’s fungible—1 XMR is always 1 XMR since there's no transaction history to blacklist. Privacy isn't just for "illegal stuff," it’s a basic human right. Governments hating it is the best bullish signal there is. As long as people want privacy, Monero stays relevant

harl_vann

If XMR makes sense then ZEC makes sense too.

For sure getting cought with XMR will put you in black list but there are always ways to combat this I recomend you learn about OPSEC rules to surf darkside saftly if you put everything on encrypted pendrive or even better remember recovery phrases you are truly anon.

I mean being caught with privacy coin or apps by an NPC cop will raise suspicions. With how scarce and illegal privacy is, XMR dominates as the alternative currency

Post is by: Constant-Growth1265 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r2nssn/monero_is_only_crypto_that_make_sense/ Most of crypto has no real use case beyond speculation. Ofc, you can buy pizza in that one shop in New York, but in reality crypto is just a speculation tool. But there is one: Monero. So what is the use case of XMR? Buying illegal items... It might sound stupid, but if you want true anonymity, Monero is often mentioned as the best choice. Most crypto shows where money is going, which is why transparent blockchains are frequently associated with traceability and investigations. That’s why I think Monero is one of the few long-term bets that isn’t based on anything other than pure hopium. And the chart shows it: Monero is consistent over long periods of time, just because there is an actual use case. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

BTC and XMR that is all If you wanna gamble for higher returns buy SPX6900 and join the movement

LargeSnorlax

Well, it *did* have the price repressed for an entire cycle specifically because of the decision - It and XMR had the same issues where no one wanted to touch it with a 10 foot pole because of exchange delistings and pending litigation. Both got resolved last year and both popped as a result. Most altcoins are zombie pricing anyways, they really only follow only the most recent catalyst for pricing.

> ETH/BTC was lower last year You are right but if still don't grasp that ETH will go much lower long term, you still don't understand crypto. I've was trying to explain it noobs in the ETH subs how crypto works in 2024. They didn't get it and it seems people still don't get it. > If you think 0.04 BTC is low, the ETH/BTC ratio is going to feel like getting kicked in the nuts over and over again over the long term as the ratio falls below 0.01 and goes lower and lower. **(Sept. 2024)** > Long term ALL Alts follow the same trend and fall below the initial BTC value they started at. Pretty much all the older Alts, even the most successful fall below this value. ETH is also trending long term to fall below this value. People talk about historic trends, patterns and cycles but this has been the only 1 undisputed and unbroken pattern for 14 years. > | | Initial | High | Current | > |:-----------|------------:|:------------:|------------:| > | LTC | 0.03 BTC| 0.048 BTC | 0.001 BTC > | XRP | 5,594 SATS| 22,500 SATS | 940 SATS > | XMR | 0.005 BTC| 0.035 BTC | 0.0029 BTC > | ETH | 0.01 BTC | 0.15 BTC | 0.041 BTC https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1fgzm3z/daily_crypto_discussion_september_15_2024_gmt0/ln9jvct/ > It's always BTC parabolic gains seeking profits and attracting attention and capital to the crypto space is the cause of appreciation. ETH is a Network Utility Token. That is all ETH is. It's competing with a many competing network utility tokens and many networks and L2s. These networks are increasingly going to be rails for stablecoins and such (97% of RWA are just stablecoins) and in order for the network to remain competitive they need to remain cheap. ETH is utility of being a rail for tokenized assets doesn't give it a $500 Billion marketcap -- ETHs value is derived from the money and investors that the pet rock brings. **(November 2024)** https://np.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/1gq6ahm/daily_general_discussion_november_13_2024/lwyql0m/ > *Bitcoin, because to me it seems like it's nothing more than a pet rock* > **That pet rock is what gives ETH and Alts value.** ETH doesn't attract money and appreciate on its own like all Alts; ETH ONLY appreciate and attract capital after money flows into BTC and flows out seeking more profit. **(Nov. 2024)** > - Summer 2017, ETH hits ATH of $400 after BTC hits local top of $3,000 > - January 2018, ETH hits ATH of $1,400 after BTC hits cycle top of $20K > - May 2021, ETH hits ATH after BTC tops out in April 2021 > - Nov 2021.

I will never not own some XMR

I keep all my crypto self-custodial by using the Cypherock cold wallet as my main vault as it lets me store multiple wallets (BTC, ETH, XMR, SOL, DOT, USDT, etc.) with separate seed phrases, but no need to write anything down thanks to Shamir’s Secret Sharing (keys split into 5 parts, only 2 needed to recover). For instant access, I connect it via WalletConnect to swap/send from my phone without exposing keys. For smaller/meme coins, I use a hot wallet like Rabby on mobile, keeping them separate from my main stack. This setup gives me both secure long-term storage and daily usability without the stress of managing multiple seed phrases or relying on centralized exchanges. Hope it helps!

This is not financial advice. 1. BTC (stop here I say but for fun…) 2. XMR (truest privacy coin, kraken or an exchange, and arguably number one except it is designed to be more like money and less like gold) 3. ETH (main crypto for use foundation but some may replace with SOL) 4. LINK (unique function as oracle) 5. QUBIC (unique concept, fastest at processing transactions, but hard to buy without using an exchange like Exolix) 6. OpenClaw Coin (meme and not associated with the local AI project except the name, fun to follow) There are others such as SUI which may replace one of the above but those are just my pics. This is not financial advise.

XMR is also exploring some kind of POS with finality layer

gordonaf3

XMR is up 22% from where it was 6 months ago… the “dip” you’re referring to is the from the spike after someone moved $250 million through it a couple weeks ago, but anyone who’s actually paying attention would know that. So yeah. Go ahead.

XMR + laundry tool

Best-Jackfruit5593

That makes sense. XMR did go up pretty high. Any other coins you’d keep an eye on outside of XMR?

XMR and LINK. If LTC gets down to $40 or below I don't see how it's not worth accumulating.

immarfa

Nope, XMR. Regarding XAUT that exact reason that I have it. I have it just in case if everything else will fail. And XAUT instead real gold or etf just to have control. Our government collapsed once during my lifetime, so I don't want to lose anything.

immarfa

I just want to have enough money to retire, but I will HODL next 30 years. I really believe in BTC and XAUT. Also private coins like XMR, ZEC , XMR , DASH. But I don't which will perform better in the long run. Have all of them, but won't buy more except XMR.

infernal_celery

Ultimate? No, real estate, art, and “goodwill” on a failing business’ balance sheet are better. You could use XMR for money laundering I guess but most regulated exchanges block it now so I don’t see how it’s better than existing options.

I was buying SOL for whole past year and I think it was bad decision. Just look at SOL graph for all years. The coin doesn't grow at all https://preview.redd.it/dwrn0m2hmuhg1.png?width=1344&format=png&auto=webp&s=f31591cfd23565b1988a91283d41378330771dbd I think to switch to XMR this year. The only benefit of SOL for me is stacking.

Phine420

Of all the top 100 coins, XMR dipped the most. So yeah, go ahead.

star_trek_wook_life

Don't diversify. I just buy the coins that are actually used. BTC ETH rETH XMR. Those are my bets. All the rest are noise and nothing but future promises.
