Bitmine is aiming to hold 5% of the total circulating supply of 120.6 million Ether tokens and is about 90% of the way to its target after its latest purchase.
Justin Bons, the CIO of Cyber Capital—described as Europe’s oldest crypto investment fund—used X (previously Twitter) on Monday to deliver a pointed critique of Ethereum (ETH) and its co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Bons said he views the network’s current direction as a “fatal combination,” arguing that what he sees as centralized control is being paired with […]

HYPE has been setting new all-time highs above $70 as the market faces selling pressure and uncertainty that has weighed on most assets across the crypto ecosystem. The divergence between HYPE’s performance and the broader market weakness has been one of the defining stories of recent weeks — and data from Lookonchain has surfaced a specific trade that captures the magnitude of what has been building in this asset over the past six months.

Chainlink is struggling below $10 as selling pressure and broader market uncertainty keep the price pinned beneath a resistance level that has capped every recovery attempt in recent weeks. The price action is frustrating — but data from analyst MorenoDV has identified a structural development in the exchange flow data that reframes what the current weakness is actually occurring against. Related Reading: Ethereum Flashes A Rare Signal As Open Interest Reaches Highest Level Since 2019 Binance currently custodies approximately 85.1 million LINK worth roughly $766 million — representing 66.4% of the 128.26 million LINK held across all exchanges combined. That concentration is the first structural fact that changes how any Binance-specific LINK flow data should be interpreted. When two-thirds of all exchange-held LINK sits on a single venue, extreme netflow days on that venue are not reflecting broad market behavior. They are Binance-specific imbalances that effectively set the supply ton
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed splitting 1 ETH into two paired option assets that always sum back to 1 ETH, eliminating forced liquidations and letting synthetics rely on slow, prediction-market-style oracles.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies added 26,497 ETH last week, lifting its total ethereum holdings to 5,416,901 coins valued at roughly $10.85 billion and bringing the company within striking distance of owning 5% of ethereum’s entire circulating supply.
