Three things just happened simultaneously to Bitcoin that have only occurred together at the exact bottom of every bear market in this asset’s history. In 2015, 2019, 2022 and now, in the summer of 2026. The monthly RSI just hit its second lowest level in 17 years. Bitcoin miners have capitulated, a signal that has marked the floor of every cycle without exception. And for the first time this cycle, more than half of all Bitcoin in existence is underwater. Three signals, one alignment. The last time they lined up like this, the price that followed changed the financial lives…

Ethereum remains inside a potential long-term accumulation phase as two historical-cycle comparisons point to major upside. Holding the $1,000-$1,350 support region could preserve targets from $10,000 to $20,000, but $ETH must first reclaim $3,945 and break its previous record high. Ethereum Cycle Chart Points to $10,000 as Long-Term Support Holds Ethereum may be entering the accumulation stage of another four-year market cycle, according to a long-term chart shared by analyst Crypto Patel. The setup projects a possible advance toward $10,000 and higher during 2026 or 2027, although $ETH must first defend support and clear several major resistance levels. $ETH two-week…

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson warned that more decentralized finance (DeFi) applications could cease operations on the network in the second half of 2026. Hoskinson, in a statement following the decision by TapTools, a popular Cardano analysis platform, to cease operations, said that the fundamental problems facing the ecosystem stemmed from a lack of commercialization, funding structure, and governance processes. Hoskinson stated that TapTools spent $61.4 million this year despite generating only $71,000 in revenue, resulting in a massive net loss of $61.3 million. He noted that similar multi-million dollar losses had been recorded in previous years, adding, “This is not…

A year on, the rules aren’t quite ready for implementation, but we have a much clearer idea as to how the regulators are thinking about stablecoins and where they’re likely to land on those rules. In an emailed statement, Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Ji Hun Kim called the passage of the bill “a landmark moment.” “A year in, agencies, institutions, and innovators are building on a clearer foundation, and stablecoins are moving rapidly toward mainstream adoption,” he said. The various regulators have proposed rules out for comment on the different aspects of stablecoin governance and regulation, including a proposal…

Concentrated liquidity pools let providers place assets within a chosen price range. The capital supports more trading and collects more fees while the market stays within that range; once the price moves beyond it, the position stops working until the provider adjusts the range or the market returns to its original setting. For example, a position in an $ETH/USDC pool set between $2,000 and $2,500 stops earning fees if the price of $ETH moves outside that band. The provider must set a new range or wait for the market to return to it. Dune tracked Uniswap v3 and v4, PancakeSwap…

It was less than a year ago when the Ethereum validator exit queue had stretched for 45 days as millions of tokens waited to be unlocked from staking. Today, that queue has completely emptied out, while the number of $ETH actually staked continues to grow to a new record. No One Wants to Unstake $ETH Current data from ValidatorQueue shows that there are zero $ETH waiting to be unstaked from the network. This means that if anyone decides to unstake their altcoin holdings, they can do so immediately, subject only to the protocol’s normal withdrawal process. This is a significant…
