Ethereum (ETH) significantly outshined Bitcoin (BTC), precious metals, bonds, top commodities, and the equities market in July. Although Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high (ATH) in July, the second-largest crypto posted a massive 48% gain for the month, strongly outperforming Bitcoin’s 7.9% rally and pushing right up against the crucial $4,000 resistance level. According to an analysis by Ecoinometrics, the “risk-on” sentiment that lifted all markets in July clearly favored Ether the most. A key driver for this outperformance was the massive success of the new U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, which pulled in approximately $5.4 billion in net inflows…

Binance and Coinbase wallets just dumped millions worth of Ethereum, and they didn’t do it quietly. This was a coordinated takedown to flush leveraged longs. Once the market collapsed and those positions were gone, the same hands that sold started pumping the price right back up. The Friday crash didn’t come out of nowhere. The entire crypto market had been sliding for days, and then it buckled. More than $708 million in liquidations hit across the board, most of them long positions. Traders using leverage got wiped out. Ethereum was hit harder than most, dropping from $4,000 to $3,500 in…

The institutional shift from Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum (ETH) has been notable to watch. But what’s driving companies to favor the latter over the former? Well, according to Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare Holdings (GAME), the 6th largest publicly listed holder of ETH, it’s because Ethereum is dynamic, while Bitcoin is static. In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto, Kenna explained the decision to choose Ethereum and what it means for the company. Why Are Companies Choosing Ethereum Over Bitcoin?
