Digital asset investment products saw strong inflows of $2.17 billion last week. This was the highest weekly total since October 10, 2025, shortly before a major market crash. Most of the inflows came earlier in the week, which indicated strong investor interest. However, sentiment flipped on Friday after outflows of a whopping $378 million hit the market. The reversal followed rising diplomatic tensions over Greenland, renewed threats of additional trade tariffs, and reports that Kevin Hassett, a policy dove, is likely to stay in his current role instead of becoming the next US Fed Chair. Crypto Investors Piled In Early…
Ethereum continues to trade under pressure as sellers maintain control on the 4-hour chart. Recent price action reflects persistent downside momentum following a sharp rejection from higher levels. Market structure remains weak, while derivatives and spot flow data suggest traders remain cautious. Together, these signals frame a market still searching for stability rather than a confirmed bottom. Bearish Structure Remains Firm on the 4H Chart Ethereum’s four-hour trend continues to favor sellers as price holds below key dynamic resistance. Lower highs and lower lows remain intact, reinforcing a clearly defined bearish structure. Significantly, price continues to trade under the Keltner…

Vitalik Sells $ETH — Big Headline, Small Transaction Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently sold approximately $1.94 million worth of $ETH, triggering a wave of bearish sentiment across Crypto Twitter. On the surface, the move looks alarming. Ethereum is already under pressure, and any founder-linked sale immediately feeds into fears of insider pessimism. However, when placed in proper context, the transaction itself is not market-moving. The sale represents a negligible fraction of Ethereum’s roughly $275 billion market capitalisation and a rounding error compared to daily $ETH trading volume. Vitalik has sold $ETH multiple times in the past for operational, tax, and…
A global benchmark for long-term borrowing costs has hit a four-month high, posing a headwind to businesses and financial markets. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, the interest rate the government pays to investors who purchase it’s highly liquid and virtually default-proof bonds, has risen to 4.27%, the highest since Sept. 3, according to data source TradingView. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield sets the floor for borrowing costs across the economy and globe by acting as the “risk-free” baseline rate. Foreign giants like China and Japan snap up trillions in these notes, so Treasury yield spikes push up rates everywhere from…

Ether’s weekend slide at the turn of February revived a familiar question: is the Ethereum network falling behind newer competitors or struggling to justify its valuation? As $ETH plunged by as much as 17% alongside most of crypto, skeptics wondered whether this was a warning sign that the protocol’s dominance may be eroding. Yet inside Ethereum’s ecosystem, the sell-off has not been met with the same alarm. Developers and long-term players largely framed the move as a market-driven correction rather than a verdict on Ethereum’s health. By several measures, network activity remains near peak levels. “Ethereum TVL is actually near…
