Citing Andrew Kang of Mechanism Capital, Wu Blockchain announced that he has openly criticized the Ethereum arguments of the BitMine Chairman, Tom Lee, which he claims are seriously misguided. In a critical discussion, Kang observes five significant assertions by Lee, such as the adoption of stablecoins by Ethereum, its position as digital oil, institutional demand, valuation logic and long term technical perspective. This backlash by the public points to the rising chasm between Ethereum believers and non-believers as the crypto economy transitions to new frameworks such as real-world assets (RWAs) and stablecoins.

Bitwise Asset Management says ETH$4,187.66 is rapidly cementing its place as a treasury asset. Digital asset treasuries (DATs), once largely bitcoin-centric, are now allocating to ether at scale, creating structural demand that exceeds net new supply, the firm said in a Monday report. “ETH treasuries are no longer a side story. They are becoming a structural pillar in crypto’s capital markets,” analyst Max Shannon wrote. According to Bitwise, that demand is reinforced by real yield from transaction fees and maximal extractable value (MEV), which deepens ether’s scarcity narrative. The largest five treasuries, the firm says, reflect a diverse set of…

In an interview with Cointelegraph at Token2049 in Singapore, Kunz predicted that exchanges will slowly transition into frontends for decentralized exchanges (DEXs). “I think it will take like five to 10 years,” he said. Kunz argued that while centralized exchanges are isolated markets, 1inch and its aggregator act as a global liquidity hub. His comments came as 1inch announced a deal with major US crypto exchange Coinbase, integrating its service to provide DEX trading to its users. Kunz…

Ethereum price today is trading near $4,148, extending its decline after breaking below the $4,250–$4,300 support zone. The rejection at the descending trendline and the cluster of EMAs above $4,350 has reinforced bearish pressure, with traders now eyeing the $4,100 and $4,000 levels as the next critical defenses. Ethereum Price Slides Toward Key Support ETH Key Technical Levels (Source: TradingView) The 4-hour chart shows Ethereum trapped inside a descending channel, with repeated lower highs confirming seller control since the mid-September peak near $4,750.

US broker-dealer Alpaca has launched an Instant Tokenization Network (ITN) that allows institutions to mint and redeem tokenized US stocks directly, a move that could help boost onchain liquidity in a segment of the tokenization market still constrained by structural barriers.

The service operates beyond traditional market hours, offering 24/7 access. By allowing in-kind redemptions — directly exchanging tokens for their underlying assets rather than settling in cash first — the network aims to…
