Crypto markets saw a sharp selloff overnight, with more than $440M in long positions wiped out as Bitcoin fell from $118K to $115K and Ethereum slipped from $4,500 to $4,300. The drop adds to last week’s drawdown, when BTC lost about 5% from record highs amid $1B+ in liquidations across DeFi lending and heavy profit taking. The move, while sudden during Asian trading hours, wasn’t entirely unexpected. Funding rates had already signaled stress: BTC perpetuals across exchanges had been drifting lower since Friday. On Deribit, funding flipped from over 20% last week to negative by Saturday, echoing a similar setup seen on August 1 before BTC slid from $118K to $112K. With Jackson Hole coming up Thursday, some traders see this flush as pre event de risking. Spot remains mid range, leaving room for more profit-taking before Powell’s speech. Options markets are tilted bearish, with risk reversals favoring puts. Still, not everyone is backing away. Tokyo listed Metaplanet added 775 BTC over the weekend, showing corporate buyers remain comfortable at current levels. Implied volatility is subdued, suggesting markets expect range-bound action buyers likely emerge near $112K while supply caps rallies around $120K, at least until Powell speaks Friday. Adding to the uncertainty, hotter-than-expected PPI data (0.9% MoM vs. 0.2% forecast) has muddied the Fed’s policy outlook.so far as you see on chart we have healthy correction Last year Powell used Jackson Hole to signal easing; this time, tariffs and political pressure create a far trickier backdrop heading into September’s meeting.

51% attack on Monero by the Qubic mining pool appears successful! Qubic now controls most of the network’s hashrate, with a major chain reorg detected. With its dominance, Qubic can rewrite blockchain history, launch double-spend attacks, and censor any transactions. Ledger CTO noted the attack may cost 75 million dollars per day to sustain. Monero, launched in 2014 with a focus on private blockchain transactions and already banned on most major centralized exchanges, has reportedly suffered a 51% attack. Such an incident could disrupt the balance among miners, enable a hostile takeover of network control, and potentially alter the blockchain’s integrity.A 51% attack on Monero has raised concerns over network security, prompting crypto exchange Kraken to suspend Monero deposits as a precautionary measure. Withdrawals and trading remain available, and deposits will be resumed once the network is confirmed to be secure

Ethereum Monthly Chart Analysis | Cup and Handle Formation Ethereum appears to be forming a classic Cup and Handle pattern on its monthly chart a bullish technical setup that typically precedes a significant price breakout. This pattern has been developing gradually since ETH's all-time high in November 2021 , when it peaked near $4,800. Over the past two years, ETH has slowly recovered, rounding out the right side of the cup. By mid 2025, ETH was trading near the key resistance zone of $3,800–4,000, aligning with the prior support zone from late 2021. This completes the cup portion of the pattern. In August 2025, ETH began pulling back by approx 15–20%, signaling the potential formation of the handle, a typical short term consolidation before a breakout Breakout Potential and Price Target The depth of the cup from $4,800 (resistance) down to $880 (support) is roughly $3,920. According to traditional Cup and Handle theory, once ETH breaks above the neckline resistance ($4,000), the expected upside target is calculated by adding this depth to the breakout level: Breakout Target = $4,000 + $3,920 = $7,920 which is make sense so next targets are 3800, 3900 and 4100$ for now Also SharpLink Gaming and BLACK ROCK load every dip so far and most big alts hit their ATH so now its ETH show timewe hit targets one by one next targets are 4400 and 4500$Ethereum’s network activity has surged to unprecedented levels, with daily transactions reaching an all-time high of approximately 1.875 million the game is ON

Apple Crushes Expectations in a Seasonally Quiet Quarter But Caution Lingers In what’s typically a quieter period for Apple, the tech giant delivered a surprisingly strong fiscal Q3 FY25, posting $94.0 billion in revenue , a 10% year over year increase that beat Wall Street estimates by nearly $5 billion. Earnings per share came in at $1.57, up 12% from last year, also well above forecasts. This performance underscores Apple’s resilience amid economic uncertainty and signals strong operational execution heading into the back half of the year. iPhone Sales Power the Beat but With a Footnote Apple’s flagship product once again led the charge. iPhone revenue jumped 13% Y/Y to $44.6 billion, driven largely by accelerated upgrade cycles. However, this surge came with a caveat: CEO Tim Cook pointed to an “unusual buying pattern” in the U.S., likely due to consumers pulling forward purchases ahead of anticipated tariff increases. While this boosted Q3 results, it could weigh on future iPhone demand. Services Segment Hits Record A Margin Powerhouse Meanwhile, Apple’s Services business hit an all-time high of $27.4 billion, growing 13% Y/Y. This high-margin segment continues to fortify Apple’s profitability, helping the company maintain a robust 46% gross margin , no small feat, especially with $800 million in tariff-related costs impacting the quarter. Geographic Momentum and Strategic Shifts Geographically, Apple saw China return to growth (+4%), while North America and emerging markets also accelerated , signaling broad-based strength. On the strategic front, Apple is ramping up AI investments, introducing 20+ new Apple Intelligence features, and expanding its supply chain footprint in India and the U.S. , efforts that reflect long-term positioning beyond just hardware. Rising Tariffs and Regulatory Clouds Looking forward, Apple guided for mid- to high-single-digit revenue growth in the next quarter, though tariff-related costs are expected to rise to $1.1 billion plus Apple faces increasing regulatory scrutiny especially around its App Store practices and the Google search engine deal issues that could impact both revenue streams and legal costs in the near future Strong Execution, but Macro and Policy Risks Ahead Apple’s Q3 FY25 was an undeniable success, beating expectations across the board and demonstrating strength in both hardware and services. However, temporary iPhone demand spikes, rising costs, and regulatory threats may challenge growth in upcoming quarters. That said, with solid fundamentals, increasing AI capabilities, and a diversified supply chain, Apple remains well positioned for long term resilience.

From Hidden Gem to Market Star IP pumped 250% since our last signal and now pumped 100% again in alt szn but whats going on Well , Grayscale's launch of the Grayscale Story Trust marks a strategic move into the evolving landscape of intellectual property (IP) tokenization. By offering investors exposure to the native token of the Story Protocol, Grayscale is signaling confidence in a blockchain platform designed to power programmable IP. This is more than a technical play it reflects growing institutional interest in blockchain's real-world utility, particularly at the intersection of AI and content rights. That interest has been amplified by a surge of attention around Poseidon, one of Story Protocol’s core projects. On July 22, Poseidon secured $15 million in seed funding in a round led by a16z Crypto, a major venture capital player. Poseidon is building a decentralized platform that licenses real-world datasets like robotics and speech data to train AI models, using Story’s on-chain infrastructure. This model not only solves a key challenge in AI (access to legal, high-quality training data) but also showcases the real world application of Story’s programmable IP framework. The funding has validated Story Protocol’s broader vision, known as “Chapter 2” which focuses on tokenizing real world intellectual property. As AI continues to demand vast, quality data inputs, and creators seek better control and monetization of their content, Story Protocol offers a compelling infrastructure layer. Institutional capital flowing into this space, especially from respected firms like a16z, has caused investors to re-evaluate the long-term potential of Story and its token ecosystem. This renewed focus is reflected in the recent price breakout of Story's IP token, which analysts attribute to both strong fundamentals and a powerful narrative. not to mention we are in middle of alt szn The convergence of blockchain, AI, and IP licensing is no longer a hypothetical,it’s a developing market with early signs of product market fit. Grayscale’s new trust offers traditional investors a pathway into this frontier, while Poseidon’s traction provides the credibility and momentum needed to sustain it. The result is a well-timed launch that rides a rising wave of technological and financial alignment. Now lets get into technical analysis, just look at candles from 13 July till now, this is how whales load the dip, you can see the same candles in ETH chart too. so can expect correction in Aug and then IP can hit new ATHUpbit will list IP

Ethereum just turned 10 ! Damn we gettin old boyz !! So to celebrate, here’re couple quick hitting facts about ETH that you might not have known 1. Ethereum was almost built on Bitcoin Almost! But a bunch of core Bitcoin devs refused the proposal, pointing to security and scalability risks. 2. Peter Thiel funded Ethereum Peter Thiel (co founder of PayPal / Founders Fund) has this thing he calls the ‘Thiel Fellowship’ where he pays students to drop out of college and work on their own projects. Vitalik was a Thiel Fellow. you see when you bet on yourself , not the system, you always win . another fun fact is Thiel missed early days of bitcoin and he always regret that 3/.The ETH whitepaper started as a Reddit post At least, the original kernel of the idea did – Vitalik shared it with another developer buddy, Gavin Wood, who then wrote the Ethereum ‘yellow paper’ off the back of it. 4. People bought Ethereum’s 2014 ICO using BTC The Ethereum team raised ~$18M (31,500 BTC) at the time…or in today’s money $3.7B! 5. Ethereum was almost called something else… Platoneum, Executium, and Decentralia were all on the short list but ‘Ethereum’ won out after Vitalik took a liking to the mythical concept of a fifth element called ‘Aether’ (pronounced ‘ether’). Nerd worlds are complicated guyz! 6. Ethereum exists thanks in part to World Of Warcraft Seriously! Vitalik had one of his hard-earned in-game spells nerfed by Blizzard (makers of World Of Warcraft) and it made him realize “what horrors centralized services can bring”. EA and UBISOFT haters now its time for you to turn your anger to a new token! come on 7. Vitalik was BTC maxi in 2011 ? In 2011, when Vitalik was 17, he co-founded Bitcoin Magazine – where he personally wrote hundreds of articles on Bitcoin & crypto 8. Ethereum’s genesis block shouts out Bitcoin Bitcoin and Ethereum’s genesis blocks both contained the message: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". (A nod to the 2008 global financial crisis.) 9. The founding team built a whole bunch of other blockchains/products Cardano, Polkadot, and MetaMask are all brainchilds of Ethereum founding members (Charles Hoskinson, Gavin Wood, and Joe Lubin). 10. ETH might be about to break a ~4 year old resistance level so right now all wallstreet whales loading ETH like BTC in 2023. like The Ether Machine announced that its subsidiary, The Ether Reserve LLC, has purchased nearly 15,000 ETH at $3,809.97 per token (approx. $56.9M) as part of its long-term treasury strategy, bringing its total ETH purchased and committed to 334,757 ETH. The company still has up to $407M available for additional ETH purchases. After this increase, The Ether Machine now holds more ETH than the Ethereum Foundation, becoming the third publicly listed company to surpass the Foundation's holdings, following Bitmine and SharpLink. Also eToro announced ready to launch tokenized U.S. equities as ERC20 tokens on Ethereum. BTC and SOL had their time, now its ETH SHOW TIMESharpLink Gaming buys another 18,680 ETH worth $66.63 million.SharpLink announced a $200 million direct offering at $19.50 per share, led by four global institutional investors. The proceeds will be used to expand its Ethereum treasury, which is expected to exceed $2 billion upon full deployment. SharpLink stated that its core strategy is to “accumulate ETH, stake ETH, and grow ETH per share.”

Zora is carving out a unique niche in the blockchain space by focusing on media and NFTs rather than conventional DeFi use cases. As a Layer 2 solution built on Ethereum, Zora offers scalable, fast, and low-cost transactions specifically tailored for digital creators. Unlike general purpose Layer 2s, Zora is optimized for rich media supporting images, video, music, and other digital assets. This makes it an ideal platform for creators aiming to monetize their work without the friction of Ethereum mainnet fees. What sets Zora apart is its Protocol Rewards system, which incentivizes user engagement by allowing creators to earn from every mint. This system encourages deeper creator-audience relationships, treating minting not just as a transaction, but as a form of digital patronage. This aligns with the Web3 ethos of decentralized creativity, ownership and reward From a market perspective, Zora has shown explosive short-term growth. Its price surged by +61% in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.075, though still slightly below its all-time high of $0.083 recorded just recently on July 27, 2025. With 3.2 billion tokens in circulation and a maximum supply of 10 billion, the token’s current market cap stands at $230 million Trading volume has also seen a massive boost, crossing $379 million in just 24 hours, indicating strong interest and possibly speculative activity. Zora is listed across 33 exchanges, with Gate being the most active, thanks to Gate Jeets! Zora is more than just another Ethereum L2, it’s a specialized ecosystem targeting the growing NFT and creator economy. Its recent price spike and growing market activity show it’s gaining traction. While short-term volatility is expected, especially post-ATH, Zora’s fundamental focus on empowering creators with meaningful tools and monetization models could position it as a long-term player in the Web3 media landscape

Energy, AI & Hype, Can Tesla Rely on Moonshots Alone? Well , Tesla’s year is unraveling faster than many expected. In its Q2 FY25 earnings report, the company posted its steepest delivery decline on record, a 13% year over year drop, totaling just 384,000 vehicles. Revenue also slid 12% to $22.5 billion, while margins continued their downward trend. The automotive division, which accounts for 74% of Tesla’s total revenue, was hit hardest, with sales falling 16% compared to last year. Despite a modest rebound in auto gross margins from Q1 (now at 15%, excluding credits), the long standing price advantage Tesla once held is being eroded by increased competition and sustained price cuts. Meanwhile, Tesla’s cash generation is starting to show signs of stress. Operating cash flow dropped 30% year over year to $2.5 billion, and free cash flow cratered by 89%, landing at just $100 million. A rise in capital expenditures ,up 19% quarter over quarter contributed to the squeeze, though Tesla is now guiding for lower full year CapEx, from $10 billion down to $9 billion With the company’s ability to self fund future projects now in question, investors are growing concerned that Elon Musk’s ambitious plans may face delays or require external financing. Not all of Tesla’s businesses are faltering. The energy segment, which includes solar products and energy storage, rose modestly and now makes up 22% of the company’s total gross profit boasting a strong 30% margin, the highest among all Tesla units. Similarly, its services and other business (charging, repairs, parts) has remained profitable for 13 consecutive quarters. But even with these bright spots, they are not large enough to offset the overwhelming pressure from declining vehicle demand, especially as Tesla continues to rely so heavily on its automotive segment. Further muddying the waters is Elon Musk’s growing political involvement. Just weeks after vowing to refocus on Tesla following his departure from DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), Musk announced the creation of a new political entity, the “America Party.” The move has already sparked backlash, escalating his feud with Donald Trump and drawing negative sentiment from the public , with 77% of Americans rejecting the idea. Investors, hoping for renewed operational focus, are now grappling with a CEO seemingly more involved in political posturing than product pipelines Musk has insisted that "autonomy is the story" a reference to Tesla’s long standing bet on AI, robotics, and its upcoming robotaxi platform. While there’s no denying the massive upside of a successful robotaxi rollout, those benefits are still several years away and will likely face significant regulatory hurdles before becoming revenue-generating realities. In the meantime, falling EV demand and shifting consumer sentiment could continue to chip away at Tesla’s brand strength, a vital ingredient for any future moonshots. With TSLA stock now down more than 30% from its December 2024 highs even as the broader market hits new all time highs, the disconnect between Tesla and the rest of Big Tech is becoming harder to ignore. Unless Tesla can stabilize its core auto business, curb distractions, and deliver concrete progress on autonomy and energy, the stock’s premium valuation will continue to come under pressure. For investors, the question now is not just whether Tesla can innovate, but whether it can focus.Trump denies plans to cut subsidies to Elon Musk’s companies, says he wants Elon and US businesses to “THRIVE like never before.” OKTesla board has approved a 96 million share stock award to Elon Musk

Hi there, over the past 30 days, these five unexpected crypto sectors have been the top performers by weighted average, Let’s dive in boyz : 1. NFT Applications 🖼️ Not again! Surprised eh? You’re not alone. NFT related tokens are surging and the main driver is Pudgy Penguins’ token, PENGU, which has been posting eye popping returns and dragging the entire sector up with it. how they pumped this much? well just look at early days of listing , rug the fan , wait for couple of month then ride the btc pump hype (story of most NFTs) lemme show you top performer in each sections now PUDGY PENGU , BLUR , APENFT 2. Gen 1 Smart Contracts 🧠 This sector includes the original smart contract chains that haven’t undergone major upgrades (so Ethereum, post Merge, doesn’t count). These older protocols are seeing a resurgence, and a few standout tokens are carrying the load. TEZOS , HEDRA , XDC NETWORK 3. Oracles 🔮 Oracles are blockchains that bring real-world data onto the blockchain. Think weather data for onchain farming bets, yeah, that specific. These infrastructure plays are quietly gaining traction, powering up the backend of some niche platforms. CHAINLINK , PYTH NETWORK , BAND PROTOCL 4. Memecoins 🪙 Wait… NFT tokens are outpacing memecoins? Is it 2021 again? Surprisingly, BONKUSDT a heavyweight in the meme world is leading thanks to its new launchpad BonkFun, which has even been outperforming PumpFun in daily revenue (though a lot of that is likely driven by incentives for now). BONK , FLOKI , PEPE 5. DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) 📌 Think crowdsourced infrastructure. For example, Helium Mobile pays users to share their WiFi or 5G signals. The real kicker? This data is sometimes passed on to major telecom networks — everyday users are interacting with Web3, often without realizing it. HELIUM , JASMY , loTeX now you look at the crypto chart and thinking whats going on ! Crypto bull markets has 4 major phase : 1. BTC pumps 2. Big alts pumps (Eth,Sol,BNB..) 3. low cap atls pumps (gems listing) 4. correction and REPEAT recent data shows retails taking profit while WallStreet loading the dipsETH is experiencing strong upward momentum, approaching the $4,000 level for the first time since last December. Interest continues to grow, with inflows into spot ETH ETFs surpassing those of BTC for seven straight days. Given that ETH’s market cap is still only about 20% of BTC’s, even modest inflows from institutions or corporate treasuries can have a significant price impact. Although ETH has taken center stage recently, BTC has shown steady strength in the background. Even with a slowdown in spot BTC ETF inflows, the price has remained stable. The market absorbed a large 80,000 BTC sell-off on Friday surprisingly well, with traders quickly stepping in to buy the dip and dampen volatility. BTC’s dominance in the market is holding steady at around 60%, showing investors still see it as a reliable store of value, not necessarily rotating into altcoins. This stability leaves room for ETH and other major assets to gain share. To compare, during ETH’s peak in November 2021, BTC dominance was under 45%, while ETH hovered near 20%. However, current market positioning appears stretched. Open interest in perpetual futures has climbed to near yearly highs—$45 billion for BTC and $28 billion for ETH. Funding rates for these contracts are also elevated above 15% on major platforms. Though we haven’t reached panic levels yet, it wouldn't take much to trigger a rapid correction like the one seen last Friday. Some major players have already taken profits such as exiting a large ETH 26SEP25 call spread and sizable BTC 8AUG25 puts have been purchased as protection against short-term downside risk Options activity and flattened risk reversals suggest traders expect some selling pressure as ETH nears $4,000 and BTC approaches $120,000. Still, with strong momentum, positive sentiment, and supportive macro conditions, both long-term holders and institutions appear ready to step in on any dips, as evidenced by Friday’s quick rebound.Bitcoin remains locked in a tight range, unable to decisively break above $120k, though steady buying around $116k continues to offer support. Meanwhile, Ether’s rally is losing momentum as it nears the key $4k psychological level, with momentum indicators turning more neutral. Structurally, ongoing institutional inflows and improving regulatory conditions suggest the potential for new all-time highs over the medium term. Continued accumulation by institutional investors like MicroStrategy (MSTR) and SharpLink Gaming (SBET) — both actively raising capital for Bitcoin purchases — reflects sustained long-term confidence. However, some concerns remain. Despite a stream of bullish news — such as pro-crypto regulatory moves in the U.S. and progress on spot and derivatives ETFs — prices haven’t reacted significantly. This kind of muted response often signals short-term fatigue, a pattern typical of late-cycle market behaviour. On the macro front, risks are emerging from overcrowded short positions against the U.S. Dollar. So far in 2025, markets have been betting on a weaker Dollar amid the ongoing Tariff War, but with the Dollar already down 10% year-to-date, further downside seems limited. CFTC data shows a heavy build-up of USDJPY shorts, a widely shared and costly position to maintain. This leaves the market vulnerable to a Dollar short squeeze, which could trigger risk-off moves across equities, emerging markets, and crypto. At the same time, the Tariff War continues. Though the U.S. and EU have reached a tentative truce, global tensions remain. Former President Trump has advocated for an end to the Russia–Ukraine conflict, but global policymakers appear skeptical, expecting him to soften his stance. Looking ahead, upcoming U.S. macro data — especially inflation and employment figures — will be critical for shaping the outlook for Q3. With tariffs expected to impact both corporate margins and consumer prices, Q3 could represent a major turning point. All eyes now turn to the Fed: a rate hold is expected in July, with policymakers likely to stress a data-driven approach ahead of the high-stakes September meeting, where a rate cut remains on the table.

Welcome to Ethereum’s Maturity Phase As we move through this bull market, Ethereum is no longer defined by its aspirations but by its quiet transformation into infrastructure grade technology. recently Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined a vision of the protocol’s current state that traders and allocators should not ignore. After years of volatility, congestion, and uncertainty, Ethereum now appears poised to support large scale economic activity, not as an experiment but as a foundational layer for global digital markets. What was once speculative scaling, security, composability is rapidly being operationalized. Ethereum today can support roughly 250 transactions per second via Layer 2s, a throughput that will double with the upcoming Pectra upgrade. This hard fork introduces enhanced data availability mechanisms (blobs), moving the network toward a future where 5,000 TPS is not aspirational but plausible within 12 to 18 months plus EIPs scheduled for 2026 suggest a tenfold increase in L1 gas limit. These upgrades are not abstract milestones; they directly impact slippage, latency, and execution depth across all DeFi protocols, this means tighter spreads, more active liquidity pairs, and higher volume ceilings for systematic strategies. Security long a barrier to adoption is no longer a structural weakness. As Buterin noted, while DeFi once carried existential smart contract risk, data now shows that aggregate protocol based losses sit below 0.53% of total value locked. For mature projects, this risk approaches statistical insignificance. personal security once dependent on individual key custody discipline is being mitigated through emerging standards like account abstraction and multi-signature wallets. The 2017 era of hack prone smart contract wallets has quietly given way to battle-tested infrastructure that, while not immune, is increasingly resilient. This de-risking lowers the premium required by investors and allows capital to flow into DeFi not purely for yield, but for strategic positioning. Another underappreciated development is the rise of Ethereum as the composable financial substrate of the internet. With the maturation of Uniswap, stablecoins, and automated market makers, virtually any tokenized asset can be priced, swapped, or rebalanced in real time. Ethereum enables a digital liquidity matrix across fiat, crypto, NFTs, RWAs, and emerging asset classes. Stablecoins alone are now being used more than Visa and Mastercard in some emerging markets. Traders operating on Ethereum are no longer confined to isolated token pairs but instead access a continuously evolving market layer that is responsive, programmable, and frictionless. Beyond its technical evolution, Ethereum is also consolidating a distinct socio-political identity. As traditional institutions face declining trust and increased instability, Ethereum positions itself as a platform for rule-of-law, transparency, and digital equality. Far from the libertarian minimalism of Bitcoin, Ethereum’s community increasingly aligns with a technocratic worldview that values governance experimentation, startup societies, and public goods Privacy tools are also gaining traction. Zero knowledge applications, once academically obscure, are becoming viable in practice. Protocols like Privacy Pools, and platforms like Railway, are introducing privacy-preserving mechanisms that are both compliant and decentralized. This creates a more robust trading environment where capital can move without compromising regulatory alignment or user identity In parallel, Ethereum’s composability is bleeding into entirely new verticals. From decentralized social platforms like Farcaster to the integration of LLM native payment rails in apps like OpenRouter, the network is extending beyond finance into application infrastructure. The implications are profound. Ethereum is no longer merely a ledger , it is becoming an operating system for the decentralized internet. Ethereum’s current position is thus not just technological it is narrative. It represents a viable alternative to traditional finance not only because it works, but because it reflects the desires of a generation looking for opt in systems that prioritize transparency, sovereignty, and composability. That vision is increasingly matched by execution. When parts of TradFi operate under implicit political risk or custodial uncertainty, Ethereum's neutral, programmable ledger becomes more than a tool it becomes a hedge. The infrastructure is live. The security model is hardened. The liquidity is thickening and the onchain velocity is approaching escape. Ethereum is no longer waiting on scalability. It has it. No longer hoping for security. It’s delivering it. No longer relying on hypothetical use cases. They’re already being used. Eth in 2025 is a fundamentally different asset than it was in prior cycles. It is no longer a speculative bet on future infrastructure it is infrastructure. With throughput, security, privacy, and cultural legitimacy maturing in tandem, the asymmetric upside lies not in waiting for Ethereum to “arrive” but in recognizing that it already has For those trading on technicals alone, ignoring these fundamentals could mean missing the structural drivers of the next phase. And for those who understand Ethereum’s layered transformation, now may be the moment to position accordingly. Eth next targets are 3700 and 3900$ so enjoy the alt sznEver fought your little brother over the last peanut butter cup? Then you already get what a supply crunch feels like! But in crypto, when supply runs low, it’s not fists that fly, it’s prices. And all signs are pointing to a potential Ethereum supply crunch right around the corner. Here's what’s happening: 1. OTC Desks Are Running Dry OTC (Over The Counter) trades let institutions buy large amounts of crypto without affecting public market prices. But even these private markets aren’t endless. When demand spikes, OTC liquidity starts drying up and when that happens, things get “crunchy” To put it in perspective: Wintermute, one of the biggest market makers in crypto, is seeing strain. They’re a major liquidity provider if they're running low, that’s a red flag. 2. Coinbase ETH Premium Is Rising Coinbase is a key entry point for U.S. (especially institutional) investors. When demand outpaces supply on Coinbase, it pushes ETH prices higher than on other exchanges creating what's called a “Coinbase premium.” A rising premium means the buying pressure is intense and local supply is falling behind. 3. Institutions Are Gobbling Up ETH Like Crazy SharpLink Gaming ( SBET ) recently bought $100M worth of ETH and now they’re planning to buy another $5 billion. Meanwhile: - BlackRock’s ETH ETF took in another $500M yesterday that’s $1B in just two days - Bitmine ( BMNR ) still has a $1B ETH buy on the table -BlackRock also plans to introduce staking for its ETH ETF, which could drive even more institutional interest -BitDigital ( BTBT ) just added 20,000 ETH (~$72M) to its books -And SBET alone has soaked up all the new ETH supply from the past month In short? Demand is skyrocketing. Supply is thinning and if this keeps up, an ETH price explosion might be closer than you think. we hitting our targets one by one and the game is ONFor the first time in 2025, Ethereum early buyers have started accumulating ETH again.
