Ethereum ($ETH) price traded above $2,100 on April 1 with a head-and-shoulders pattern on the 12-hour chart threatening a near 20% breakdown to $1,570, a structural risk that may explain why institutions continue to favor Bitcoin over $ETH. Bitcoin spot ETFs attracted $1.32 billion in March while Ethereum ETF products extended their outflow streak to five months. The Ethereum pricegained 7% over the past 30 days compared to Bitcoin’s 2.7%, yet regulated capital moved in the opposite direction. The technical structure and collapsing on-chain demand suggest institutions see something the short-term rally does not. Institutions Keep Choosing Bitcoin Over Ethereum…
Wall Street’s most persistent bull, Tom Lee, is doubling down on a vision of the future that would make even the most seasoned optimist blink. The Fundstrat Global Advisors co-founder, known for his uncanny accuracy during post-pandemic recovery, believes S&P 500 is on a collision course with the 15,000 mark by the end of this decade. For everyday investors, Lee says the most efficient vehicle to capture this massive 129% upside is not a speculative moonshot, but a bedrock of the financial world – Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO). Why is Lee keeping bullish for the long-term Lee’s thesis is…
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that Ripple does not have “a big dog in this fight” when it comes to the Clarity Act during a recent appearance at the FII PRIORITY Miami summit. The company is remaining on the sidelines of the ongoing clash. “I do think that having this White House support the Clarity Act and push it forward has been profound,” he said. Still, the Ripple boss is convinced that the bill will eventually be passed despite crypto exchange Coinbase rejecting the most recent compromise. “People are annoyed. They are exhausted. So, hopefully we get something done,” he…
Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, told BeInCrypto his team can recreate the quantum attack circuits that Google Quantum AI built but refused to publish. He warned that if his organization can do it, nation-states already can too. Google’s March 30 whitepaper showed that two working circuits implementing Shor’s algorithm to break 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography could be built with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits. The team chose not to release the code and instead published a zero-knowledge proof. Goertzel told BeInCrypto that decision changes nothing. “Keeping Capabilities Secret Buys You at Most a Very Short…

David Sacks is stepping down from his role as the White House’s AI and crypto czar, closing out a short tenure that helped reshape the U.S. government’s approach to digital assets but left several major legislative efforts unfinished. In an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday, Sacks said that his time as a special government employee had ended after reaching the 130-day limit. He will remain involved in the administration as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, where he will advise on a broader set of technology issues. During his time in the White House,…
A few months ago, I was sitting with a payments executive who had spent the better part of a year evaluating blockchain. It was the usual story at first. Internal debates, risk assessments, small pilots that were treated more like science experiments than real infrastructure. Then something changed. He told me that at a certain point, the question inside his company stopped being “should we use this?” and quietly became “why aren’t we already using this everywhere we can?” Not because of hype, but because the systems they were testing were faster, cheaper, and more flexible than what they had…
