Ethereum [$ETH] has historically struggled to sustain its outperformance against Bitcoin. On the technical front, $ETH/$BTC last posted a strong quarterly rally in Q3 2025, surging 53%, marking its biggest quarterly gain since Q2 2021. However, sellers erased 50% of those gains as the rally lost momentum. This suggests the rotation was temporary, as capital continued to flow into Bitcoin. Against this backdrop, the ratio’s 5% rally so far in Q3 appears too early to confirm a sustained rotation from Bitcoin into Ethereum. At the same time, Bitcoin dominance is once again pushing toward the key 60% resistance level, gaining…

U.S.-linked wallets appear to be the largest political trading group on Polymarket’s global platform, even though the platform lists the United States as a blocked country. Blockchain data firm Allium said in a July 3 report that the U.S. was the biggest national political market by contracts traded among wallets it could link to a country. The firm said its data covered only about 6% of wallets with country tags, so the results should be treated as directional. Still, Allium said the pattern was clear enough to show that US demand did not disappear after access blocks. “Blocking access did…

More than $1.4 billion in token unlocks hit the market during the week of January 26 to February 2, 2026, based on figures from CoinGecko. Sui takes the top spot by dollar value, trailed by a group of DeFi, layer-2, and AI projects. Of that total, $154.95 million arrives as cliff releases, which means those tokens enter circulation in single batches rather than a slow drip. SUI headlines this week’s token unlocks The Sui coin leads the pack with a massive $62.68 million release. However, although the figure is quite high, the supply will only get boosted by 1.14%, which…

In June 2025, a week before the $XRP Ledger’s EVM sidechain went live, the team building it published the arithmetic of what was coming. Polygon had contributed somewhere between $2 billion and $6 billion in total value locked to Ethereum, up to a tenth of the whole. If the XRPL EVM sidechain matched that trajectory, the post argued, the uplift to the $XRP Ledger would run from $600 million to $12 billion, and it would fundamentally change the demand curve for $XRP. Ninety entities were already building. Sixty days of testnet had pulled in developers who had never touched the…

Bitcoin has held above $63,000 after last week’s macro-driven rebound, but traders are now weighing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts against rising geopolitical tensions and mounting technical resistance. According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin ($BTC) price traded around $63,100 on Tuesday after briefly testing the $64,000 region again, leaving the market caught between bullish macro expectations and a growing list of near-term risks. The cryptocurrency rallied nearly 10% over the past week after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh suggested artificial intelligence-driven productivity gains could help contain inflation, while a weak U.S. jobs report showing only 57,000 new payroll additions…

Ethereum completed a golden cross against Bitcoin on its short-term chart, with the market now watching for a potential comeback. The MA 50 rose above the MA 200 after a crossover on the hourly chart. $ETH/$BTC Hourly Chart, Image By TradingView This follows a recent run of outperformance by Ethereum, which has rallied versus Bitcoin since bottoming at 0.025 on June 6. Fresh ETF inflows and rising on-chain activity, especially through Robinhood’s new Layer 2 chain using $ETH as its native gas token, have helped Ethereum outperform Bitcoin recently. The outperformance can be seen in a golden cross developing on…

Veteran investor Ross Gerber highlighted on Thursday a report revealing that more than one million people lost money while President Donald Trump made a fortune from those same ventures. $TRUMP Investors Left Holding Bags The report also stated that 85% of secondary-market buyers of World Liberty Financial’s token remain underwater. “Over 1 million people lost money on the trump crypto rug pull,” said the CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management. Note that there’s no direct one-to-one match between cryptocurrency wallets and actual holders. A single individual can create dozens or even hundreds of distinct wallets, while a single…

On the first day of every month, one billion $XRP leaves a set of locked contracts on the $XRP Ledger, and every month traders argue about what it means. Here is the full machinery: why the escrow was created, how the ledger enforces it, where the released tokens actually go, and how to read the unlock without being fooled by the headline number. At around 07:30 UTC on July 1, 2026, on-chain trackers flagged three transfers on the $XRP Ledger: 200 million $XRP, then 300 million, then 500 million, exactly one billion tokens worth roughly $1.04 billion at the time.…

Just a few short years ago, the crypto hype was strong. VCs were eager to pour money into solutions for scalability, data availability, and any number of buzzwords. Since then, the advent of powerful AI models and prolonged bear markets have taken the wind out of crypto’s sails and many chains which promised the future are now as good as forgotten. One keen-eyed X user, crypto marketer Stacy Muur, noted the staggering $500 million invested across six blockchain projects which, together, have produced a total of just $360 in blockchain fees in the past 24 hours. These projects raised more…

While Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market in general continue to trade with high volatility, a signal that accurately indicated the bottoms has been analyzed. According to a CryptoQuant analyst report, Bitcoin is likely to experience further declines in the current bear market. At this point, the analyst, examining the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) indicator, noted that Bitcoin’s NUPL indicator is currently at 0.158. The 30-day NUPL moving average has fallen to 0.155, while the 100-day EMA is at 0.215. With the 30-day average below the 100-day average, a bottom would require the 100-day EMA to also fall below zero. Because…
