The post Ethereum price holds $1,750 as Middle East tensions and $1,800 wall cap recovery appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum price has remained pinned near $1,750 after renewed Middle East tensions triggered a risk-off mood across financial markets and sellers once again defended the $1,800 resistance zone. Summary Ethereum price remains stuck near $1,750 as Middle East tensions keep risk appetite subdued across crypto markets. Repeated rejection at $1,800 and heavy liquidation clusters continue to block a sustained ETH breakout. A break below $1,750 could expose $1,700, while reclaiming $1,800 may trigger a short squeeze toward $2,000. According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum (ETH) price traded around $1,756 on Wednesday after failing to sustain multiple attempts above $1,800 during the past week. The latest rejection followed U.S. airstrikes on Iranian military targets after Iran reportedly fired on civilian shipping near the Strait of Hormuz, sending investors toward
The post CEE FX: Forint longs face geopolitical test – ING appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
ING’s Frantisek Taborsky reports that the National Bank of Poland kept a neutral stance, with elevated uncertainty from Middle East tensions and CPI projections above expectations. US–Iran headlines triggered a sell-off in CEE rates and FX, with EUR/HUF jumping 1.2%. Taborsky sees EUR/HUF around 360 as attractive for new Forint longs if tensions prove temporary. NBP steady as EUR/HUF spikes “The meeting of the National Bank of Poland did not bring many surprises. The statement is broadly neutral and almost unchanged from June. The MPC acknowledges lower oil prices, weaker growth in Poland’s key trading partners, and a recent decline in inflation.” “Yesterday, the CEE region was hit hard by US-Iran headlines, and we saw a sell-off across rates and FX. In the Czech Republic, the market added half a rate hike to pricing for a total of one and a half hikes now. In Poland, expectations have retur
The post Ethereum (ETH) Rises 8% Weekly: Is a Bigger Pump Coming Next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
“ETH to $2,500 before September,” one analyst predicted. The second-largest cryptocurrency has rebounded from the local bottoms witnessed last month, and now multiple analysts believe the price is ready to jump even higher. Growing institutional interest supports the bullish thesis and could indeed pave the way for a more substantial upward move. $2K Comes Next? As of press time, ETH trades at around $1,750, representing an 8% increase over the past week and a 17% rise from its June low. X user Ted noted that the asset recently tapped the $1,820-$1,850 resistance zone but got rejected. At the same time, he highlighted ETH’s ability to hold the $1,750 support and predicted that a decisive breakout could open the door for a rally toward $2,000. Earlier this week, Poseidon claimed that ETH has formed a double bottom under $1,800 and wondered why some people expect a decline given
The post Romance Scam Suspect’s Crypto Wallet Processed $122M: Interpol appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A crypto wallet linked to a suspected romance-scam money launderer processed more than $122.5 million in 10 months, according to Interpol, as authorities expanded a global crackdown on online fraud. Interpol said Thursday that Thai authorities arrested two suspects and uncovered a money-laundering network that funneled proceeds from romance scams into cryptocurrencies, using cross-chain token swaps to obscure the trail. The Thai investigation was part of Operation First Light 2026, an Interpol-coordinated campaign targeting social engineering scams and the financial infrastructure used to launder their proceeds. The operation involved authorities in 97 countries and territories, resulting in 5,811 arrests and the seizure of $293 million in illicit assets tied to fraud and money laundering. Tomonobu Kaya, director of Interpol’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre, said soc
The post Stellar (XLM) Volume Surges 303%, Is Market Liquidity Back? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Stellar (XLM) is experiencing a surge in trading activity in the last 24 hours, with volume up by more than 303%. Trading volume for XLM is up 303% in the last 24 hours to $873 million, according to data from CoinMarketCap. This is noteworthy as most major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, saw a drop in volume over the last 24 hours, falling 20% and 15% respectively. Dogecoin’s trading volume fell by nearly 26% in the same timeframe. Stellar’s 303% volume surge while its price fell, however, remains an outlier.

Stellar’s third major protocol upgrade has taken place so far in 2026, with a corresponding rise in trader activity.

The post Ethereum UTXO Payment Proposal Targets 99.8% Storage Reduction appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum News Ethereum (ETH) is debating a technical proposal that could reshape how the network settles payments. Researcher Toni Wahrstätter has floated adding native UTXO-style payments — unspent transaction output accounting, the same model Bitcoin uses — to the Ethereum base layer. The design would retain only a minimal spent marker in the live network state while pushing most payment data into historical blockchain records, cutting permanent storage requirements by as much as 99.8%. For a chain long wrestling with state bloat, the efficiency case is substantial. The proposal keeps the roadmap conversation — from privacy work like the Aztec Network to storage design — firmly in traders’ view. The idea drew an immediate rebuke from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, who accused Ethereum of borrowing from Cardano’s Extended UTXO (EUTXO) model without acknowledgment. EUTXO ext
