One of the biggest crypto whales has swapped Bitcoin with Ethereum, which reveals a definite change of market position. The wallet (0xeA00) with 120 $BTC worth approximately $10.68 million was exchanged to 3,623 $ETH within the past two days. The trading flow was conducted over wrapped tokens via such platforms as Aave and Hyperliquid. The whale did not make a single order to carry out the trades. This was an anti-slippy tactic and did not promote excess attention on-chain. The relocation indicates a well-thought strategic action and belief in the potential of Ethereum in the short run. Another whale has…

Jefferies, a Wall Street investment bank, said maturing blockchain infrastructure and incremental regulatory progress are laying the groundwork for a new wave of tokenization by institutions in traditional finance (TradFi). Broad adoption, however, depends on having clear U.S. market structure rules, it said. The bank pointed to the draft Digital Asset Market Clarity Act as the most detailed blueprint yet for how blockchain-based financial infrastructure could develop, even though hurdles remain in its path. “Although passage remains uncertain, implications across FIs, blockchain-natives, and tokens may emerge sooner than anticipated,” wrote analysts led by Andrew Moss, in the Sunday report. Tokenization…

A major security difference between the Ethereum ($ETH) and Cardano (ADA) blockchains has been highlighted amid a hack that led to the loss of $4.13 million. A Cardano DRep, known as “dori” on X, shared the security of Cardano over Ethereum in a post detailing how the compromise took place. Ethereum MEV design blamed for $4.13 million exploit According to dori, the hacker exploited a vulnerability on the DeFi protocol, Makinafi, on Ethereum. They argue that Ethereum’s transaction-ordering design allowed MEV bots to profit from the hack before the malicious actor did. Notably, due to Ethereum’s security structure, the MEV…

One of the strongest derivatives signals Ethereum has displayed in months is flashing. The volume of futures trading has increased by over 1,250%, which is uncommon without a significant change in the structure of the market. This is not random noise; rather, it is deliberate capital rotation back into $ETH rather than passive spot accumulation. Ethereum price stays pressured Technically, Ethereum is still under pressure on the price chart. The 200-day MA serves as a strong overhead ceiling around the $3,300-$3,400 range, and $ETH is still trading below its important moving averages. Price action has remained compressed and directionally undetermined…

According to analysts, the Federal Reserve’s next chairman nominee could be announced publicly this weekend. Analysts at the US-based financial news site InvestingLive stated that the latest information they received regarding the FED chairmanship process was shared last week, and at that time it was reported that Donald Trump could make his decision before or after his visit to Davos. With Trump’s departure from Davos yesterday and return to Washington, it is considered highly likely that the issue of the Fed chairmanship will be on the agenda this weekend. Analysts point out that Trump may have largely finalized his decision.…

The Senate Agriculture Committee announced Monday it will push an anticipated vote on a crypto market structure bill by two days, to accommodate a major snowstorm that continues to delay travel in and out of Washington. But the markup, initially scheduled for Tuesday and now set for Thursday, still faces plenty of hurdles. Those include the possibility that the vote will fail to gain the support of any Senate Democrats, and the likelihood that the federal government will shut down again on Friday night, pushing an already stalled crypto legislative process further down the list of lawmakers’ priorities. Democrats and…

Investing in crypto assets like ether, the native token of the Ethereum network, once followed a simple path: traders bought coins on platforms like Coinbase or Robinhood, or stored them in self-custody wallets such as MetaMask, and held them directly. Then came staking, or pledging a certain amount of cryptocurrencies to a network to validate transactions and earn rewards. This was seen as a way for investors to generate passive income while holding the tokens through crypto exchanges in anticipation of price appreciation. However, as crypto has moved closer to mainstream finance, new products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that…
