The Ethereum price is showing early signs of stabilization after a sharp sell-off in late January. $ETH has rebounded about 4.6% over the past 24 hours after dipping near $2,160. On the surface, this looks like a relief bounce inside a broader falling wedge pattern. But on-chain data tells a more cautious story. While the bullish structure has not fully broken, long-term holder behavior and profit-loss metrics are weakening. Together, they suggest that this rebound may lack strong conviction. If these trends persist, Ethereum could remain vulnerable to another leg lower, with even $1,500 in sight. A 37% Price Drop…

Coinbase says capital access beats income in wealth creation

A new Coinbase Institute report argues that the most important divide in global finance is no longer rich versus poor, but between those who have direct access to capital markets and those who do not, which it describes as the “brokered” versus the “unbrokered.” The report estimates that traditional intermediated rails exclude roughly four billion unbrokered individuals from owning productive assets or raising capital at scale. Closing this gap, it argues, will require rebuilding core market infrastructure so smaller investors and issuers can participate directly rather than through layers of intermediaries. According to the report, over the last 40 years…
