Ethereum (ETH), which experienced a major rally after Bitcoin’s $123,000 ATH, has experienced a decline in recent days.

Markus Thielen, an analyst at 10X Research known for his successful predictions, said that Ethereum is at risk of a near-term decline. Thielen noted that increasing borrowing rates on the ETH network could create ripple effects throughout the Ethereum ecosystem.

Two MIT-educated brothers have failed to get fraud charges dismissed in court in connection with a $25 million cryptocurrency theft from the Ethereum blockchain.

In shorting, a trader borrows stock, sells it and hopes the price falls enough for them to buy it…

Ten of the largest trade associations in fintech and crypto have called on President Donald Trump to intervene in what they say is a coordinated attack by big banks to stifle innovation and lock out competitors. In a letter sent on Wednesday, the groups, which include the Blockchain Association, and the Crypto Council for Innovation, warned that JPMorgan’s plan to charge fees for access to consumer banking data threatens to de-bank millions of Americans and could cripple the adoption of stablecoins (USDC, USDT) and self-custody wallets.
