An investor holding $2.2 million in Ethereum started moving the coins on Monday after leaving them untouched for nearly 10 years, blockchain data shows. The holder originally received the 900 ETH at the address in 2015 when the coin was priced at less than 50 cents. Those were “genesis” coins, digital tokens created during the first block of Ethereum. Before transactions took place on Ethereum, early contributors and developers to the project received “pre-mined” ETH—when it was worth pennies. The latest move is one of several involving large amounts of crypto from long-time holders. In April, a long-term Ethereum whale…
Crypto exchange Coinbase rallied briefly, then dove 2.1% while reeling from the dual blow of U.S. Supreme Court decision on Monday and a fund rebalancing that saw Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest unload $95 million worth of shares. The company’s shares were recently trading for $345.79, down 2.1% in midday trading. The Supreme Court declined to hear Coinbase’s appeal in Harper v. Faulkender, which would have challenged a “John Doe” summons from the IRS to review user transaction data—without identifying who or what it’s looking for. Coinbase and privacy advocates were hoping the high court would revisit its “third-party doctrine” and…

And while Algorand was one of the first to take the lead, new data suggests that the lead may already be slipping. Algorand’s Big…

While the broader uptrend remains intact, the recent pullback has brought short-term caution into focus.
