Ethereum price plunged towards the $1,500 level after a wave of long liquidations, persistent ETF outflows, and worsening macroeconomic conditions triggered one of the sharpest crypto selloffs of 2026.

Powell’s counterargument is equally straightforward: the Fed makes decisions based on data, not demands from the…

The bank said recent regulatory developments in the U.S. and growing institutional demand are helping transform perpetual futures, commonly known as “perps,” from a niche crypto instrument into a market structure that could eventually span commodities, equities and private-market investing. “PERPs are no longer just a crypto product.
