Cryptocurrency analysis company Alphractal made remarkable assessments regarding the altcoin market in its latest report. The report stated that altcoins have performed better than Bitcoin in recent days, and investors have achieved higher returns by taking positions in altcoins instead of BTC, according to daily signals. However, one chart highlighted by Alphractal is a warning for the market: the Correlation Heatmap. This map shows that the average correlation between altcoins and Bitcoin is rapidly declining, even turning negative in some cases. This means that altcoins are no longer tracking Bitcoin’s price movements. According to Alphactal analysis, this is a warning…

Ethereum has staged a comeback to become one of the best-performing digital assets over the past few months. The stark growth has positioned U.S.-based Ethereum ETF investors ahead of Bitcoin ETF holders, according to experts and inflow data. “Purchases from U.S.-based Ethereum ETFs have outperformed Bitcoin’s,” CryptoQuant’s head of research, Julio Moreno, told Decrypt. He cited a high growth in Ethereum to Bitcoin ETF holdings and spot trading volume ratios since April. “Rising institutional interest—especially around digital asset trusts,” is a primary reason, Delory Fong, Amber Group’s Head of Flow Trading, told Decrypt. While Bitcoin still leads Ethereum in year-to-date…

M&A hasn’t slowed as Congress mulls crypto legislation and efforts to get more real-world assets onchain continue. I chatted with Ondo Finance CEO Nathan Allman last month about the RWA space ahead of the company’s tokenization platform launch slated for this summer (Ondo doesn’t yet have a go-live date).

Others agree, including Larry Fink (the man leading the world’s largest asset manager) and…

Numerous crypto games have shut down already in 2025, but this might be the fastest pivot yet from launch hype to imminent shutdown. The developers of Tokyo Beast, a competitive mobile combat game launched on Ethereum layer-2 network Immutable zkEVM on June 9, said Tuesday that the game will go offline on August 24. Revealing the move barely a month after launch, producer Naoki Motohashi called it “unexpected news” in a blog post. “Due to the difficulty of balancing operational costs, and after extensive discussions with our stakeholders, we have arrived at the painful decision to terminate the service,” he…

While positive decisions regarding the cryptocurrency industry continue to come from the SEC, the latest news came for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Accordingly, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart said that the SEC is increasingly likely to approve in-kind refunds for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Seyffart cited numerous filings filed with the SEC yesterday, stating that progress has been made with the SEC following recent filings by issuers to add in-kind payments to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. At this point, Seyffart noted that five issuers with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs on the CBOE have amended their prospectuses, citing “positive action” from…

For decades, traditional finance has operated on a foundation of intermediaries, complex paperwork, and often slow settlement times. But a…

It’scontinued to grow, taking in more than $780 million in revenue, completing a $600 million initial coin offering, and creating more than 11.9 million tokens.

Some have criticized the platform for oversaturating the meme coin market, while others have hailed it as…

This is a segment from The Drop newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Crypto comes in waves. And like surfing, it’s entirely possible to paddle too early and miss out altogether. Some of the biggest phenomena in crypto have caught their respective waves with precision. Markets change… Yuga Labs rolled out Bored Apes in April 2021, as bitcoin and ether were headed to their first major peak of that bull market cycle. More recently, pump.fun nailed it when it deployed in January 2024 — just as SOL was about to double in price in two months on the back of…

Bitcoin (BTC), the flagship cryptocurrency, recently reached an all-time high (ATH) of $123,091 amid bullish sentiment. Despite that spike in value, PlanB, the creator of the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model, claims that Bitcoin is likely 10 times undervalued in the broader financial space. Bitcoin maintains bullish momentum In a post on X, PlanB argued that, relative to gold, Bitcoin has a higher S2F ratio of approximately 120, compared to the former’s 60. Notably, a higher S2F implies greater scarcity. So, despite gold’s historically scarce nature, PlanB insists that Bitcoin is even scarcer. The analyst’s argument rests on the 21 million cap…
