Cyber Capital CIO Says Ethereum Failed, Calls Vitalik A ‘Dictator’—Citing A ‘Fatal Combination’

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.

Ethereum price started a fresh decline and traded below $1,980. ETH is now consolidating below $2,000 and might continue to move down. Ethereum remained in a bearish zone after a fresh decline below $2,000. The price is trading below $2,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,010 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it stays below the $2,020 zone. Ethereum Price Extends Decline Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $2,020 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below the $2,010 and $2,000 levels. The price even traded below $1,980. A low was formed at $1,955, and the price recently attempted a minor recovery wave. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,035 swing high to the $1,955 low. However, the bears remained active near $2,000. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance

Weiss Crypto says Bitcoin may be approaching one of its strongest buying opportunities in years, with senior analyst Juan M. Villaverde arguing that a coming pullback could mark the final confirmation that the market’s bearish phase has ended. In a post on X, Weiss Crypto said its latest cycle analysis shows “exactly how low BTC could drop before this bear market ends” and why that could be “great news for the next leg up.” The comments came alongside a new video analysis from Villaverde, who said several of his macro, liquidity and cycle models are again pointing in the same direction: short-term downside, but within a broader constructive setup. Bitcoin Pullback Seen As Bullish Confirmation Villaverde said Bitcoin has largely continued to trade in line with macro signals, despite temporary deviations around geopolitical and legislative events. He pointed to a February low that his framework had been tracking since last year, followed by a rally that he said was weaker than expected.

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. Related Reading: Ethereum Flashes A Rare Signal As Open Interest Reaches Highest Level Since 2019 Six months ago, a trader identified as wallet 0x082e opened a 5x leveraged long position on 1.38 million HYPE tokens with a notional value of approximately $99.77 million. The position has remained open through every market fluctuation, every broader crypto selloff, and every moment of uncertainty that has tested conviction across the ecosystem since it was initiated.

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. A Deliberate Slowdown, Not a Retreat The purchase, worth approximately $53 million at roughly $2,003 per ETH, marks a […]

Vitalik Buterin suggests an options-based DeFi model that removes liquidations and uses slow oracles to improve security and stability. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has outlined a new approach to decentralized finance that could reduce liquidation risks. In a post, Buterin proposed building index-tracking assets on top of options rather than collateralized debt positions (CDPs).  The […] The post Vitalik Buterin Proposes Options-Based DeFi to Reduce Risks appeared first on Live Bitcoin News.
