Ethereum is the best performer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap over the last seven days. The coin is up by 3% during that period, and it now consolidates around the $1,850 resistance level. Technical indicators suggest that Ethereum remains neutral, with derivatives data painting a bullish picture. Exchange outflows and retail participation could push $ETH’s price higher The primary catalyst behind Ethereum’s recent rally is the outflow of $ETH tokens from exchanges. According to CryptoQuant, Ethereum has experienced notable exchange outflows paired with increased staking activity and substantial stablecoin inflows to Binance, indicating shifts in supply and…

For decades, the Fed stabilized the economy with one simple tool: interest rates. Raise them to cool inflation, and cut them to stimulate growth. But after years of massive government borrowing, post-pandemic inflation, and repeated stress inside the Treasury market, that system may no longer work the way Americans expect. Today, the Fed can cut rates while long-term borrowing costs stay elevated, mortgage rates remain high, and bond markets react as if the central bank is losing control of the financial system’s most important lever. At the same time, it has also resumed expanding parts of its balance sheet again…

A cryptocurrency whale address that remained inactive for over eight years has suddenly come to life, executing a significant swap of its holdings over the past four days. According to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence, the address converted 599 Ether ($ETH) into 11,692,716 $ENA tokens, valued at approximately $990,000 at the time of the transaction. Details of the Transaction Blockchain records show that the whale first wrapped its $ETH into Wrapped Ether (WETH) before initiating the swap on CoW Protocol, a decentralized exchange aggregator known for its gas-efficient and MEV-protected trades. The entire process was completed in multiple batches, suggesting…

An Ethereum wallet that had remained inactive since the network’s pre-mine era has suddenly come back to life after more than a decade. According to blockchain tracker Whale Alert, a dormant pre-mine address holding 2,000 $ETH, worth approximately $3.79 million at current prices, was activated after 11 years of inactivity. The stash was worth just $620 when the wallet was first funded in 2015. Other recent activations The latest activation follows a string of similar events involving early Ethereum addresses. In late April, a pre-mine wallet holding 10,000 $ETH (worth nearly $22.9 million at the time) was reactivated after 10.8…

SpaceX’s highly anticipated public market debut has spawned a fast-growing crypto shadow market that is allowing retail traders around the world to speculate on the company’s valuation months before its shares reach public markets. Here’s what’s behind the hype. According to Forbes, decentralised derivatives platform Trade.xyz recently launched SPCX-$USDC, a perpetual futures contract on Hyperliquid that tracks an implied SpaceX valuation despite having no connection to the company itself. The product opened with a reference price of $150, implying a valuation of roughly $1.78 trillion, before speculative activity pushed it as high as $216 shortly after launch. Interest in these…

io.net, the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) focused on GPU computing, has announced a significant update to its tokenomics on its third anniversary. The project introduced the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE), a new model designed to dynamically adjust the supply of its native IO token based on real-time network usage. The most immediate outcome of this mechanism is a planned permanent burn of at least 12 million IO tokens over the next twelve months. How the Incentive Dynamic Engine Works The IDE represents a shift from static tokenomics to a system that responds to supply and demand within the io.net…

A week ago, Ethereum ($ETH) broke above its $1,842-$1,868 resistance line, flipping it into the new support line. Technical analysis on weekly time frames in a multi-month period suggested an uptrend to $2,163, with key resistance levels at $1,900 and $2,000. Ethereum retesting a new support zone In the last 24 hours, Ethereum briefly pulled back below the support line, then once again recovered to trade above it. At press time, the price of $ETH was $1,904, as the coin gained 2.35% in that time period. Source: CoinMarketCap If buyers outnumber sellers, they can defend this recovery, and we will…

A fintech company that started by refinancing student loans just became the first US national bank to put a stablecoin directly into a consumer banking app. SoFi Technologies launched SoFiUSD on May 27, giving its approximately 14.7 million members the ability to buy, sell, and hold the token without ever leaving the SoFi app. The stablecoin is issued by SoFi Bank, N.A., which is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. That makes SoFiUSD a fundamentally different animal from Tether or even Circle’s USDC: it’s a dollar-pegged token issued by a chartered national bank, not a standalone…

A previously unknown address has withdrawn approximately 1% of the total Zcash ($ZEC) supply from the protocol’s Orchard privacy pool, according to blockchain monitoring service Arkham Monitor. The transaction, which represents roughly 388,000 $ZEC, was executed from the pool that theoretically holds around 3.88 million $ZEC, valued at approximately $1.65 billion at current market prices. What the Orchard Pool Withdrawal Means The Orchard pool is a core component of Zcash’s privacy architecture, designed to enable shielded transactions that obscure sender, recipient, and amount details. A withdrawal of this magnitude is unusual, as large movements from privacy pools often attract scrutiny…
