Will Ethereum Go Higher? Markets Remain Bullish: Analysis

The recent crypto market dip isn’t deterring Ethereum bulls: They’re still betting ETH goes higher. Prediction market traders on Myriad, a market developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, remain convinced that Ethereum hits the $5,000 price mark sooner rather than later, notching a new all-time high in the process.

ETH Continues to Outpace BTC Amid Biggest Bitcoin ETF Outflows in Months: Bitfinex Alpha

AI Browser Wars Heat Up as Microsoft Launches New Copilot Mode on Edge

Microsoft unveiled Copilot Mode for its Edge browser Tuesday, introducing an experimental AI assistant that wants to reimagine how users navigate the web. The feature, available free for a limited time, transforms Edge from a traditional browser into an intelligent collaborator that anticipates user needs and automates routine tasks. Users can opt in after updating Edge to the latest version. But why bother with an AI browser when ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity already exist as perfectly functional apps? For starters, browsers are how we navigate among sites, and so far, you can’t type a web address into a stand-alone AI…
