Ethereum has struggled to register meaningful upward movement in recent days despite strong investor activity. The altcoin king’s price is being pulled by two opposing forces: heavy accumulation from retail and institutional players, and continued selling pressure from long-term holders. This clash has kept ETH rangebound. Ethereum Exchange Supply Falls Ethereum’s supply on exchanges has steadily declined for months, now sitting at a nine-year low. This signals investors are withdrawing tokens from centralized platforms, a move often linked to long-term accumulation strategies rather than short-term speculation. In just the past month, more than 2.7 million ETH, valued at over $11.3…

After a recent beta, OVERTAKE has flipped the switch on its official marketplace, and this time it’s leaning hard on Sui and a dash of AI to make buying and selling in-game items actually pleasant. The pitch is simple: take the messy parts of Web2 trading (high fees, slow or restricted settlements, clunky payment flows) and fix them with a blockchain built for games and a few smart automations. At launch, OVERTAKE supports Path of Exile 1, Last Epoch and MapleLand, and it’s offering two new features that gamers and sellers will notice right away. TakeShop lets sellers set up…

A New York State Senator just introduced a bill to impose new taxes on Bitcoin mining firms. If passed, it would levy progressive taxes, putting the highest obligations upon the largest businesses. The bill focuses on two issues: broader climate goals and consumer electricity prices. Taxes collected from miners would go to subsidize ordinary citizens’ utility bills. New York’s Bitcoin Mining Bill Although NYC’s crypto enthusiasts are cautiously optimistic about Zohran Mamdani’s approach to the industry, the state legislature is a completely different animal. It has enacted hostile laws before, and may do so again. Today, policy watchdogs discovered a…

A new project wants to give blockchains their own “fast lane” on the internet. The DoubleZero Foundation announced Thursday that its highly anticipated mainnet-beta is live. DoubleZero is a network built to speed up how blockchain validators talk to each other. Instead of relying on the public internet, which can sometimes be slow and unpredictable, Solana validators can now connect through DoubleZero’s fiber routes, which let users transact faster. In simple terms, DoubleZero is like a private highway system for blockchains. While normal internet routes are designed to be cheap and broad, they aren’t built for the split-second coordination thousands…

TL;DR ETH breaks key resistance and retests support, showing a potential continuation of the current uptrend. Exchange reserves hit 16.5M ETH, indicating less selling pressure and growing long-term accumulation. Negative funding and liquidations suggest short squeeze risk as price rebounds from range low. Ethereum Breaks Resistance and Holds Support Ethereum has moved above a key level at $4,100. This price rejected ETH three times earlier this year. Each time, the price failed to continue higher and dropped back. Notably, that level is no longer acting as resistance. The price broke above it in mid-2025. It then came back down to…

This is considered a strong signal that the capital rotation…

San Mateo, California-headquartered FalconX said Thursday it has executed the first forward rate agreements tied to Ethereum staking yields, introducing a new class of rate-based derivatives to the digital asset market. The contracts reference the Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate, or TESR, a benchmark published daily by infrastructure provider Treehouse. The measure is part of Treehouse’s “Decentralized Offered Rates” framework, intended to create crypto-native equivalents of widely used benchmarks such as Libor or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Its launch comes as demand for staking has surged, with Ethereum’s validator entry queue recently hitting its highest level in two years amid…
