Ethereum (ETH) plunged over 14% in 24 hours Monday, breaking below critical support zones to trade near $1,541 as a broader crypto market sell-off intensified, reportedly taking Bitcoin below $76,000. What Role Did the $106M Whale Liquidation Play? Adding pressure to the decline, on-chain data platform Lookonchain reported a major whale liquidation.

Cantor assumed coverage of the crypto exchange with an overweight rating and a $245 price target. In early trading, the shares were up more than 5%. “Markets are missing what it is doing beyond trading, particularly with its L2 (Base) and its stablecoin relationship with Circle,” analysts Brett Knoblauch and Thomas Shinske wrote. Coinbase shares are attractive at current levels, as they are trading at around a 32% discount to historical valuation multiples, the report…

Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, is looking beyond meme coins to establish Solana as the infrastructure for what she calls “internet capital markets.” In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto and a presentation at the 2025 Web3 Festival in Hong Kong, Liu outlined her vision for blockchain technology’s role in democratizing financial access.

In recent years, Massad has shared his thoughts on what regulation around bitcoin and digital assets should look like. He’s appeared on Bloomberg to discuss the matter, and he recently testified at…
