Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Ethereum price has recovered toward $2,530 after last week’s slide, but resistance around $2,560–$2,575 stands between its rebound and a possible return to $2,700.

Summary

Ethereum price traded near $2,530, below its daily 20-day and 50-day moving averages.
US spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $542.2 million in net outflows during Oct. 5–9.
Analysts Ted Pillows and Michaël van de Poppe identified $2,560–$2,575 as an important recovery zone.
CoinGlass showed large overhead liquidation concentrations near $2,585, $2,635–$2,640, and $2,740.

TradingView’s Binance ETH/USDT daily chart placed Ethereum at $2,529.47 on Oct. 12, following a sharp retreat from the $2,700 region earlier in the month. Ether had rebounded from a low around $2,410 during the sell-off, although the recovery remained below two nearby daily moving averages.

The daily chart recorded a session high of $2,579.88 before ETH slipped back toward $2,530. The move briefly carried Ethereum into the resistance area identified by analysts, but the price had not held above that zone.

Ethereum faces resistance between $2,558 and $2,640
On TradingView’s daily chart, Ethereum’s 50-day simple moving average stood at $2,558.10, roughly 1.1% above the displayed price. The 20-day average was higher at $2,640.41, placing a second technical hurdle above the immediate resistance band.

Ethereum’s retreat below both averages followed its failure to sustain the late-September advance toward $2,800. The latest rebound had brought the price back toward the 50-day line, while the shorter 20-day average remained above it.

The daily chart also showed Ethereum trading above its 100-day moving average at $2,240.06 and its 200-day average at $2,137.27. Those longer averages sit well beneath the recent trading range, with the nearer $2,500 and $2,400 areas coming first on the downside.

The Aroon indicator showed its down line at 71.43% and its up line at 28.57%. The higher down reading reflected the more recent prominence of a daily low within the indicator’s lookback period, despite Ethereum’s bounce from last week’s trough.

For an upside recovery, the daily chart places the first moving-average barrier near $2,558, followed by $2,640. Beyond those levels, the recent trading area around $2,700 and the September peak near $2,800 remain overhead reference points.

The 4-hour rebound loses strength below $2,560
TradingView’s 4-hour chart placed ETH at $2,526.68, above the Bollinger Bands’ middle line at $2,513.88. The upper band stood at $2,559.97, while the lower band was at $2,467.78.

The upper band closely matched the daily 50-day moving average, putting two separate technical readings around $2,558–$2,560. Ethereum’s rebound approached that area before pulling back toward the middle of the bands.

The 4-hour relative strength index stood at 46.71, compared with its smoothing average of 45.65. RSI had recovered from the oversold region reached during the sell-off, but remained below the neutral 50 mark.

Price action on the same chart showed Ethereum rebuilding from approximately $2,410, consolidating around $2,480–$2,510 and then advancing toward $2,570. The subsequent retreat left ETH above the Bollinger middle line but below the upper band.

The nearby downside references are therefore $2,514 and the psychological $2,500 level, followed by the lower band around $2,468. A deeper decline would bring the recent low near $2,410 and the $2,400 area back into focus.

Analysts put the recovery threshold near $2,575
Analyst Ted Pillows identified $2,560–$2,570 as Ethereum’s immediate resistance zone in an Oct. 12 post. He said reclaiming that range could open the way for a rally toward $2,700.

His assessment followed an earlier move above $2,550. The later TradingView readings near $2,530 showed Ethereum had pulled back below that level after testing higher prices.

Michaël van de Poppe set a slightly higher threshold in an Oct. 11 post, saying he wanted to see a strong breakout above $2,575. He described Ethereum as remaining beneath important resistance and said more strength was needed.

I'd prefer to see a strong breakout above $2,575 for $ETH.

It's currently remaining quite calm and under critical resistances.

Overall, my expectations are that this will outperform #Bitcoin for the coming period, but we need to see a little bit more strength. pic.twitter.com/mKOfKAMwx8

— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) October 11, 2026

Van de Poppe also said he expected Ethereum to outperform Bitcoin in the coming period. His outlook remained a forecast, with a stronger ETH breakout forming part of the confirmation he wanted to see.

Together, the analysts’ levels place the immediate recovery test between $2,560 and $2,575. Ted Pillows’ $2,700 scenario depends on Ethereum reclaiming resistance, while the latest chart readings show that test remains unresolved.

ETF withdrawals accompany overhead liquidation clusters
Farside Investors recorded $542.2 million in net withdrawals from US spot Ethereum ETFs during Oct. 5–9. Its daily figures showed nine consecutive negative sessions from Sep. 29 through Oct. 9, totaling $697.4 million.

The largest withdrawal last week came on Oct. 6, when the funds lost $201.9 million, entirely from BlackRock’s ETHA. Another $160.9 million left on Oct. 7, followed by $72.5 million on Oct. 8 and $56.1 million on Oct. 9, according to Farside.

CoinGlass’s one-week liquidation heatmap showed several concentrated bands above Ethereum’s latest price. Prominent areas appeared near $2,585 and $2,635–$2,640, with another large concentration around $2,740.

The closest of those bands sits just above the $2,560–$2,575 resistance range identified by the analysts. The concentration near $2,640 also aligns closely with Ethereum’s daily 20-day moving average.

Below the market, CoinGlass showed liquidation bands around $2,480, $2,450–$2,470, and $2,400. Ethereum’s recent trough reached the lower end of that structure before the rebound.

Ethereum now trades between nearby support around $2,500 and resistance around $2,560–$2,575. The daily moving averages, 4-hour Bollinger Bands, and analysts’ stated thresholds all place the first recovery hurdle within a narrow range above the latest price.

Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said the next crypto bull market could be the largest on record, pointing to tokenization, generational wealth transfers, corporate treasury accumulation and growing demand linked to AI.

The outlook accompanied Bitmine’s Monday treasury update. The company added 12,532 ETH over the past week, bringing its holdings to 6,028,946 ETH, or approximately 4.9% of Ethereum’s circulating supply.

“Owing to the following factors, we see the potential for this to be the largest ever crypto bull market,” Lee said, identifying those four themes as potential drivers.

Lee argued that younger investors inheriting wealth are likely to have a greater appetite for crypto and equities. He expects that shift to have a larger effect on the coming cycle than it did during the 2019 to 2021 bull market.

He also pointed to digital asset treasury companies as a new source of supply absorption. Lee described their holdings as effectively permanent removals from the market, although corporate treasuries can sell assets and their strategies can change.

Bitmine said it has purchased ETH every week since launching its Ethereum treasury strategy on June 30, 2025. Its latest holdings leave it close to its target of accumulating 5% of the token’s supply.

Lee said the company had strengthened its position during the bear market and was positioned to outperform in a future rally. According to figures cited in the announcement, ETH declined 10% during the first nine months of 2026, while Bitmine’s common shares fell approximately 3%.

As of October 11, Bitmine reported $16.2 billion in combined crypto, cash, marketable securities and other investments. That included its ETH holdings, 214 BTC, $612 million in cash and marketable securities, a $180 million stake in Beast Industries and an $85 million stake in Eightco Holdings.

The company is also expanding staking operations through its Made in America Validator Network, or MAVAN. Bitmine said the platform, initially developed for its own treasury, now serves institutional investors, custodians and ecosystem partners.

Approximately 5.07 million ETH was staked as of October 11, representing 84% of its Ethereum holdings. At the yield cited in the announcement, Bitmine estimated annualized staking revenue of $336 million and projected approximately $400 million if its full treasury were staked.

Lee also highlighted Bitmine’s BMNP perpetual preferred stock, which carries a 9.5% rate. The shares last closed at $99.53, up approximately 24% from their $80 issuance price in June, according to the company.

Ethereum has seen its liquidity conditions on Binance increasingly weaken as its Liquidity Shock Z-Score has also dropped significantly to a multi-month low.

While the decline comes after several months of fluctuations in the indicator, the sharp drop seen recently has drawn attention from market analysts.

Binance Z-Score Falls to -1.00According to recent data from crypto analytics platform CryptoQuant, the Ethereum Binance Liquidity Shock Z-Score has fallen to about -1.00, its lowest reading in nearly seven months.

HOT Stories

The sharp drop in Ethereum's liquidity comes months after the indicator experienced consistent volatility, constantly fluctuating since the early months of 2026. 

You Might Also Like

Notably, it recorded higher positive readings early in the year before dropping sharply in February and has remained volatile since then.  

Although the liquidity indicator gradually recovered and increased again during the summer, the indicator saw a sudden reversal in October, falling to its current level.

Following the decline, Ethereum liquidity activity on Binance is now below its usual level compared with the indicator's historical average. 

What This Means for EthereumIt is important to note that the sharp drop in the liquidity level does not automatically mean that traders are exiting their positions or investors are selling their ETH.

Rather, this typically indicates that liquidity conditions have changed, without necessarily indicating which direction the price will move next.

While the indicator has also coincided with Ethereum's shrinking supply on exchanges, it appears that investors are moving their holdings out of exchanges into private wallets.

This could trigger upside momentum for Ethereum as it suggests that investors are moving their tokens to private wallets to hold for the longer term.

Buterin outlines ambitious Ethereum upgrade plan for 2030

ENS Labs has proposed to the ENS DAO that ENSv2 be activated on the Ethereum mainnet, a significant upgrade that would freeze all new .eth registrations on the original v1 registrar and redirect registrations to the new system. ENS, or Ethereum Name Service, enables users to register human-readable addresses for use on the Ethereum blockchain.

Details of the ENSv2 proposalENS founder Nick Johnson, who posts under the nickname nick.eth, submitted the executable proposal on the ENS governance forum on October 11. The plan consolidates 15 separate transactions from the DAO timelock into a single atomic transaction. This transaction removes all five controllers currently authorized to operate the v1 BaseRegistrar and reinstates only two: ETHRenewerV1 and a specialized Graveyard contract.

ETHRenewerV1 will manage renewals for names that are already reserved on the new v2 system, while the Graveyard contract will allow claims on expired names that have passed their grace period. Following these changes, registrar ownership is set to transfer to ETHRenewerV1, which cannot register new names or add new controllers. No voting date for the proposal has been set, and neither Tally nor Snapshot votes have been linked at this stage.

ENS (Ethereum Name Service) is a protocol that assigns readable names, such as ‘nft.eth’, to Ethereum blockchain addresses, simplifying crypto wallet usage for users and applications.

Impact on .eth name owners and registration processThe proposal clarified that existing .eth name owners are not required to take any action. According to the post, “If you own a .eth name and do nothing, it keeps working,” assuring users there is no migration deadline. Owners remain free to transfer their names to ENSv2 at any time using the ENS app.

However, names that have expired beyond their grace period will not be carried over and will be open for registration by any user on the new v2 system.

ENSv2 reduces the post-expiry grace period for names from 90 days to 28 days. To offset this change, each name’s v2 expiry date will be extended by 62 days, as indicated in the proposal.

VersionGrace period after expiryMigration policyv190 daysOptional, name remains validv228 days (+62 days added to expiry)Available for migration anytimeA brief pause in registrations is expected. Both v1 and v2 systems will be closed to new registrations during the transition, a window expected to last only a few hours.

Governance and control changesThe proposal outlines that only one of the five activation stages requires a DAO vote—the final step, which is for ENS Labs to renounce its administrator rights over the v2 contracts and transfer them to the DAO timelock. Before this, ENS Labs plans to update name reservations after the v1 freeze, open the v2 registrar for sign-ups, and route name lookups through v2. These interim steps are commitments by ENS Labs and do not form part of the onchain vote.

When the process is completed, ENSv2 will be controlled by the DAO just as v1 is now, with ENS Labs holding no special privileges in either system.

Registration fees on v2 will be directed to the DAO timelock, which has managed these contracts since their deployment.

Tradeoffs and reversibilityThe proposal acknowledges certain tradeoffs, such as the removal of an emergency override for v1 that previously allowed a designated controller to disable a registrar controller without requiring a vote. “The v1 freeze is reversible; migrating a name is not,” the proposal stressed. While the DAO could restore v1 controllers through another executable action, tokens already migrated to v2 cannot be returned to the older version.

The proposal explains that while freezing v1 could be undone, any migration of names to v2 is permanent.

ENS Labs originally proposed ENSv2 as a layer 2 solution in 2024. According to the latest update, the entire v2 contract set has now been deployed on the Ethereum mainnet.

Mini dictionary: DAO timelock, a smart contract mechanism that delays the execution of governance-approved transactions to provide transparency, allow for community review, or serve as a security measure.

US Dollar Hits 18-Month High: What It Means for Bitcoin and Stocks

Bitcoin fell back below $83,000 on Monday amid elevated Treasury yields, a stronger dollar and uncertainty ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.

Notable Statistics:

Coinglass data shows 88,688 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours for $302.44 million.       
SoSoValue data shows net inflows of $21.13 million from spot Bitcoin ETFs on Friday. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw net outflows of $56.1 million.
In the past 24 hours, top losers include Starknet, Cosmos Hub and Aptos.

On Scott Melker’s podcast , industry veterans Andy Constan, Dave Weisberger and Mike McGlone highlighted Bitcoin’s repeated failure to break above $86,000 to $87,000, suggesting further consolidation before a potential rally.

McGlone warned that elevated Treasury yields and a strong dollar remain major headwinds for Bitcoin and other non-yielding assets.

Constan argued that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s efforts to contain long-term yields through bond buybacks and reduced long-term debt issuance could boost asset prices but fuel inflation.

He expects Bitcoin to trade sideways rather than stage an immediate explosive 10x rally as it evolves into a reliable store of value.

The panel also cited prediction markets pricing a 61% chance of a Democratic sweep of Congress, warning that Republican losses could complicate Trump’s crypto agenda and increase political gridlock.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Relief Rally or Another ETH Dump Next?

Ethereum (ETH) fiyatı 2.500 dolar seviyesinin üzerinde tutunmaya çalışırken Fundstrat kurucu ortağı ve BitMine Başkanı Tom Lee’den dikkat çekici bir tahmin geldi. Ünlü analist, Ethereum’un 2026 yılı sona ermeden 5.000 dolar seviyesini aşabileceğini öngördü. Kurumsal yatırımcı ilgisi, spot Ethereum ETF girişleri ve ağ güncellemeleri yükseliş beklentilerini destekleyebilecek gelişmeler arasında gösterilirken yatırımcıların gözü kritik direnç seviyelerine çevrildi.

Tom Lee’den Ethereum İçin 5.000 Dolar Tahmini
Fundstrat kurucu ortağı ve BitMine Başkanı Tom Lee, Ethereum fiyatının 2026 yılının sonuna kadar 5.000 dolar seviyesini aşabileceğini belirtti. Coinage’e verdiği röportajda Ethereum’un uzun süredir devam eden fiyat konsolidasyonuna dikkat çeken Lee, bu sürecin güçlü bir yükseliş hareketine zemin hazırlayabileceğini ifade etti. Mevcut fiyat seviyelerinden 5.000 dolara ulaşılması, Ethereum’un yaklaşık yüzde 99,3 değer kazanması anlamına geliyor. CoinMarketCap verilerine göre Ethereum, Ağustos 2025’te yaklaşık 4.954 dolar ile tarihi zirvesini kaydetmişti.

İlginizi Çekebilir: Bitcoin 84 Bin Doları Aştı: ETF Çıkışları Yükselişi Durduramadı!

Ethereum’un yıl sonuna kadar güçlü bir yükseliş gerçekleştirebilmesi için hem kurumsal talebin hem de kripto para piyasasındaki genel görünümün destekleyici olması gerekiyor.

Öne çıkan dört önemli gelişme şöyle:

Spot Ethereum ETF girişleri: ABD’de işlem gören Ethereum ETF’lerine yeniden güçlü sermaye girişlerinin yaşanması, kurumsal talebi artırabilir.

Kurumsal ETH alımları: Büyük şirketlerin Ethereum biriktirmesi, piyasadaki alım ilgisini destekleyebilir.

Ethereum ağ güncellemeleri: Glamsterdam yükseltmesi kapsamında planlanan ölçeklenebilirlik ve verimlilik iyileştirmeleri, ağın kullanımını artırabilir.

Staking ve düzenleyici gelişmeler: ETH staking miktarının artması, likit arzı sınırlayabilir. ABD’deki CLARITY Yasası gibi düzenleyici girişimler ise kurumsal katılımı teşvik edebilir.

Bununla birlikte Bitcoin’in güçlü bir yükseliş trendine girmesi de Ethereum’a yönelik yatırımcı ilgisini artırabilecek faktörler arasında bulunuyor.

Ethereum İçin Kritik Seviye 2.520 Dolar!
Kripto para analisti Ali Charts, Ethereum’un kısa vadeli teknik görünümüne ilişkin dikkat çekici bir değerlendirme paylaştı. Analiste göre ETH fiyatının 2.520 dolar seviyesinin üzerinde kalıcılık sağlaması durumunda 2.640 dolara doğru yeni bir yükseliş hareketi başlayabilir. Ali Charts, Ethereum’un 10 dakikalık fiyat grafiğinde Adam ve Havva dip formasyonuna benzer bir yapı oluştuğunu belirtti. Bu teknik formasyonda 2.520 dolar seviyesi, yükselişin doğrulanması açısından kritik direnç noktası olarak öne çıkıyor. Söz konusu seviyenin güçlü şekilde aşılması durumunda 2.640 dolar hedefi gündeme gelebilir.

Ethereum fiyatının önümüzdeki dönemdeki yönü yalnızca teknik göstergelere değil, küresel ekonomik gelişmelere de bağlı olacak. Yatırımcılar, ABD’den açıklanacak ADP istihdam verileri, tüketici enflasyonu, üretici enflasyonu ve haftalık işsizlik başvurularını yakından takip ediyor. Özellikle ABD Merkez Bankası’nın (Fed) faiz politikasına ilişkin beklentiler, Bitcoin ve Ethereum gibi riskli varlıkların fiyat hareketlerinde önemli rol oynayabilir. Enflasyon verilerinin beklentilerin altında kalması ve daha gevşek para politikası beklentilerinin güçlenmesi, kripto para piyasasındaki alım iştahını destekleyebilir.

Değerlendirme
Ethereum (ETH), Tom Lee’nin 2026 yıl sonu için açıkladığı 5.000 dolar tahminiyle yeniden yatırımcıların gündemine geldi. Kurumsal alımlar, spot Ethereum ETF girişleri ve ağ güncellemeleri uzun vadeli yükseliş beklentilerini destekleyebilecek gelişmeler arasında yer alıyor. Kısa vadede ise analist Ali Charts’ın işaret ettiği 2.520 dolar direnci ve 2.640 dolar hedefi önem taşıyor. Ancak Ethereum’un 5.000 dolara ulaşması, piyasa koşullarına ve yatırımcı talebine bağlı olduğundan kesinlik taşımıyor.

Head of Microsoft’s AI Agents Bets on 2027: AI Will No Longer Wait for Queries, Delivering Work Results Directly via Information Streams

Beating AI News: Nicolas Bustamante, head of Microsoft’s proactive AI Agent team, predicts AI streams will become the mainstream interaction method by 2027. Chat-based models leave too much work to users—requiring them to figure out AI’s capabilities, write prompts, provide context, and repeatedly direct agents. For billions to use agents daily, not everyone can be expected to master these tasks. Bustamante’s envisioned AI stream works like an auto-updated to-do list: AI drafts emails needing responses; when sales data refreshes, team reports are prepped. Users browse it like social media, approving, editing, or ignoring items, only turning to chat for complex issues. Meta’s Muse already proactively suggests and executes tasks. The model also has commercial logic: as users open the stream daily, AI recommends restaurants, goods or services based on their plans, with clearly labeled ads covering the agent’s operational costs.

Microsoft's stock price has hit a nearly one-year high, and the company announced plans to massively deploy its in-house developed AI chips.

According to BIT (Bit.com) market data, Microsoft’s stock price hit a near one-year high, rising 0.8% intraday. On the news front, Microsoft plans to gradually increase the use of its self-developed AI chips in data centers to reduce reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. Microsoft stated that it will mainly rely on its self-developed Maia chip architecture to handle AI model requests in the future, and plans to deploy several gigawatts of computing power on the Maia series chips. Microsoft unveiled its third-generation AI accelerator chip, the Maia 300, on Monday, which is expected to enter production in 2027. Each data center rack can hold 96 Maia 300 chips, double the number of the previous-generation Maia 200; compared with GPUs, its AI token processing capacity per rack can reach up to 7 times higher, and the number of tokens processed per megawatt increases by approximately 40%. Microsoft said the Maia 300 is expected to boost AI service performance and lower data center operating costs. Evercore ISI analysts forecast that by the first quarter of 2027, Maia chips will account for around 10% of Microsoft’s AI chip spending.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) announced on October 12 that, as of the latest statistics, it holds approximately 6.03 million ETH, accounting for around 4.9% of Ethereum’s total supply. The company added 12,532 ETH to its holdings last week, pushing its position further above the 6 million ETH threshold and bringing it close to its target of holding 5% of Ethereum’s total supply. In addition to ETH, Bitmine’s holdings of crypto assets, cash, tradable securities, and other investments total approximately $16.2 billion. Of this total, the company has staked 5,067,309 ETH, valued at roughly $12.9 billion per announcement data, representing about 84% of its total ETH holdings. Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated that since launching its ETH treasury strategy on June 30, 2025, the company has been continuously purchasing ETH every week. He projects that once all of the company’s ETH holdings are fully staked through MAVAN and its partners, at the current 2.61% seven-day yield, annualized staking revenue could reach approximately $400 million. Additionally, the company’s perpetual preferred stock (BMNP) closed at $99.53 per share, above its $80 per share issue price. Tom Lee believes that as tokenization, wealth transfer, and AI-related demand drive growth in the crypto market, Bitmine is poised to benefit from the next bull market.

In brief
Bitmine acquired 12,532 ETH over the past week, bringing its holdings to 6,028,946 ETH, or 4.9% of Ethereum's supply.
Chairman Tom Lee said the firm needs about 100,000 more ETH to reach its 5% target, after which it will be "done stacking."
Lee predicted the largest crypto bull market ever, citing tokenization, a generational wealth transfer and supply held by treasury firms.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies bought 12,532 ETH over the past week, worth about $31.9 million at the $2,544 price the company used to value its holdings and lifting its holdings to 6,028,946 ETH, the company said Monday.

The stash represents 4.9% of the total 122.1 million Ethereum token supply, leaving the firm 99% of the way to its goal of owning 5%, a target it calls the "Alchemy of 5%."

BitMine provided its latest holdings update for October 12, 2026

$16.2 billion in total crypto + "moonshots":
- 6,028,946 ETH at $2,544 per ETH (per @coinbase)
- 214 Bitcoin (BTC)
- $180 million stake in Beast Industries @MrBeast
- $85 million stake in Eightco Holdings…

— Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH $BMNP (@BitMNR) October 12, 2026

Bitmine bought $41 million more ETH the week before. In a press release, the firm's Chairman Tom Lee claimed that its “track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world.”

The company valued its ETH at $2,544 per token, and put its total crypto, cash and investment holdings at $16.2 billion. That includes 214 BTC, $612 million in cash and marketable securities, and stakes worth $180 million in Beast Industries and $85 million in Eightco Holdings.

The firm has staked 5,067,309 ETH, which Lee said generates annualized staking revenue of about $336 million.

Myriad: Where does Ethereum go next? Click to make your prediction.'Done stacking'In his monthly Chairman's message last week, Lee said Bitmine needs "about 100,000 more ETH, and that's about it." He has said the firm's Ethereum buying will stop once it reaches its target.

"Now we're done stacking while a bull market is starting," Lee said in the video. "So if we're done stacking, but ETH goes up a lot, you can imagine that we'll outperform Ethereum."

Lee predicted the crypto bull market would be "the biggest bull market we've ever seen," driven by tokenization, a wealth transfer to younger investors, supply absorbed by digital asset treasury firms, and AI agents using crypto wallets.

He said Bitmine shares, then around $26, are 90% correlated with ETH, and projected that ETH at $22,000 would put the stock at $300 to $500.

Lee also pointed to Bitmine's 9.5% perpetual preferred stock, BMNP, which was issued at $80 in June and last closed at $99.53, according to the release.

Ethereum treasury firm Bitmine bought more ETH last week, extending its streak of consecutive weekly purchases. This comes as the company’s Chairman Tom Lee predicted that the BMNR stock will outperform the crypto bull market.

Bitmine Buys 12,532 ETH As Holdings Approach 6.03 Million Ethereum
According to a press release, the Ethereum treasury firm announced that it acquired 12,532 ETH over the past week. The company has notably bought ETH every week since it adopted the Treasury strategy last year.

Bitmine now holds 6,028,946 ETH, representing over 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply, while its total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309, worth nearly $13 billion. This follows the company’s $41 million Ethereum purchase last week, acquiring 15,112 ETH two weeks ago.

The company is now 99% of the way to reaching its target of holding 5% of the total Ethereum supply. Last week, Tom Lee said Bitmine will halt Ethereum purchases once it reaches its goal of holding 5% of the supply.

The treasury firm needs to buy only about 100,000 ETH to reach this 5% supply target. It is worth noting that the firm currently holds an unrealized loss of $4.8 billion on its Ethereum position, according to DropsTab data. Its average cost price is $3,324 on its holdings.

BMNR To Outperform The Crypto Market
Tom Lee said that they believe that the BMNR stock will outperform the imminent crypto bull market. He noted that they have strengthened their competitive position over the past year in the midst of the bear market.

“The accumulation of a majority of our 6 million ETH took place in the midst of a crypto bear market and with the Company nearing our 5% ETH accumulation target, we believe the company is attractively positioned ahead of the coming crypto bull,” the Bitmine chairman said. He also highlighted how the ETH price outperformed the stock market in Q3.

Lee noted that Ethereum outperformed the S&P 500 despite macro headwinds such as the Fed rate hike, rising oil prices and global bond yields. Meanwhile, he mentioned wealth transfer, tokenization, DATs absorbing crypto supply and crypto being an AI downstream story as factors that will drive the “largest ever crypto bull market.”

Is ETH ready to rebound after its recent price pullback?

The second-largest cryptocurrency has retraced 6% over the past week, yet an important development suggests the bullish setup remains intact.

Many market observers believe ETH could soon reach a new all-time high, while one mysterious trader spent millions to open an extremely risky long position in the asset.

The Bullish Perspective
Popular X user Ash Crypto revealed that ETH closed its fourth consecutive week above the 50-week moving average (MA) after bouncing off multi-month support at $2,405. This is considered a major long-term trend indicator and suggests momentum remains on the bulls’ side (despite recent volatility).

“Four consecutive weekly closes above the 50-week MA is an encouraging signal for ETH. Holding this level could strengthen the bullish outlook, but confirmation on the next few candles will be key,” one X user commented on the post.

Many analysts think the asset could be on the verge of an imminent surge. Ali Martinez recently noted that ETH has formed an “Adam and Eve” bottoming pattern, outlining the neckline at $2,520 as the key zone.

“A sustained close above this level could confirm a bullish breakout and open the door for ETH to rally toward $2,640.”

For his part, Ted said ETH is currently facing resistance around the $2,560-$2,570 range. He believes that reclaiming this zone could set the stage for a pump to $2,700. X user BLADE noted the recent price correction but reminded that the asset has historically rallied after such dips.

“It’s a simple dynamic that keeps repeating. Same base as the 2025 bottom, so naturally I’d expect the same run over the months ahead. My target: $5K,” they said.

Meanwhile, investors have become increasingly aggressive on ETH. X user Gerla disclosed that Ethereum longs on Bitfinex have spiked by 266% in just a few weeks, reaching their highest level since 2022. Ash Crypto revealed that an anonymous whale opened a $50 million long position on ETH with 25x leverage and is currently less than $50 away from liquidation.

The Bearish Signals
Despite analysts’ predominant optimism, two key developments suggest the asset could underperform in the near future. The first is the recent performance of the spot ETH ETFs.

As CryptoPotato reported, the investment vehicles recorded total outflows of more than $540 million last week, signaling that pension funds, hedge funds, and other conservative investors have reduced their exposure to the cryptocurrency. More concerning, spot ETH ETFs have posted nine consecutive red days, with September 28 as the last day inflows exceeded outflows.

Next is the rising amount of coins stored on crypto exchanges. According to CryptoQuant, the figure has risen to a one-month high of about 14.9 million units, which doesn’t guarantee a price collapse but increases immediate selling pressure.

TRON and Ethereum are accelerating efforts to prepare their blockchains against potential threats from quantum computing, a technology that, while still in early stages, could eventually compromise traditional cryptographic standards. TRON has become one of the first public blockchains to introduce post-quantum cryptography on its testnet and claims its solution is ready for full deployment on the mainnet.

TRON’s fast-track quantum defenseFounded by Justin Sun, TRON is a decentralized blockchain platform known for its high throughput and support for assets like Tether (USDT). Sun recently announced that post-quantum cryptography measures are now live on the TRON testnet, awaiting only a final governance vote and mainnet approval.

In July 2026, TRON introduced Committee Proposal No. 20628 with its GreatVoyage-v4.8.2-PQ1-build1 update on the Nile testnet. This upgrade implements two signature schemes standardized by NIST: FN-DSA-512 (based on Falcon-512) and ML-DSA-44 (based on Dilithium). The technical designs are outlined in TIP-899, which remains in draft and keeps these features optional by default, allowing wallet developers to begin testing without forcing mandatory adoption.

These new post-quantum signatures will support key blockchain functions, including transaction signing, block production, peer-to-peer handshakes, and TRON Virtual Machine verification. Code for these upgrades was released open source in June, giving ecosystem participants time to experiment with quantum-safe tools ahead of any potential technological breakthrough, sometimes referred to as “Q-Day.”

TRON is willing to accept a major increase in bandwidth and file sizes in exchange for greater preparedness: public keys for Falcon-512 will be 896 bytes and its signatures up to 667 bytes, while Dilithium keys and signatures reach 1,312 and 2,420 bytes, respectively—roughly ten times the size of Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) equivalents.

Mini dictionary: NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), a US agency, endorses security and cryptography standards, including the Falcon and Dilithium signature schemes designed to counter future quantum computing threats.

While this approach significantly increases bandwidth and storage costs, as well as reducing potential throughput from about 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) to nearly 400 TPS for Falcon-512 and to approximately 173 TPS for Dilithium, TRON’s architecture lets stakeholders test these defenses without full activation on mainnet. The platform requires further audits and Super Representative consensus, pushing a possible launch date beyond Q3 2026.

Signature SchemePublic Key SizeSignature SizeEstimated TPSECDSA33 bytes65 bytes~2,000Falcon-512896 bytesUp to 667 bytes~400Dilithium-21,312 bytes2,420 bytes~173Ethereum’s long-term quantum resistance planEthereum, the largest programmable blockchain, is relying on a more gradual response, aiming for full protocol-level quantum resistance by December 2029. A dedicated team, including researcher Justin Drake, is leading this initiative, supported by $2 million in funding. The team’s approach centers on overhauling core cryptographic primitives and phasing in new standards across multiple layers of the protocol.

Their roadmap includes replacing BLS signatures for proof-of-stake validators and KZG commitments for data storage, while applying zero-knowledge techniques for performance. Incremental migration using account abstraction (EIP-8141) will allow Ethereum users to rotate cryptographic keys and further isolate transaction authorization from gas payment, a move expected to preserve network continuity.

Ethereum client developers have less than three years to test and validate these so-called “lattice”-based signature schemes before a planned hard fork introduces post-quantum features. The scale of Ethereum’s DeFi, restaking, and layer-2 economy means that the protocol’s quantum migration will require extensive engineering, vetting, and cross-client collaboration.

Mini dictionary: Lattice-based cryptography forms the basis for many post-quantum digital signatures, using hard mathematical problems believed to withstand attacks from quantum computers.

Regulatory attention and industry impactRegulators, including Europol, have issued warnings about quantum risks, prompting asset managers and blockchain developers alike to treat quantum security as a critical infrastructure need. Both TRON and Ethereum see future-proofing core infrastructure as vital to maintaining their roles as settlement layers for tokenized assets amid ongoing regulatory and competitive pressures.

TRON’s more rapid and flexible, governance-driven process could accelerate readiness, while Ethereum’s layered and community-driven model is expected to deliver solutions at a slower pace. Mainnet deployment across both chains will depend on further audits and stakeholder approvals.

Bitcoin is trading between key support and resistance levels as bearish divergence limits its short-term momentum. Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Chainlink are also consolidating around important price levels. Meanwhile, traders are watching Wednesday’s U.S. CPI inflation report and Thursday’s PPI data for clues about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Oil prices and the U.S. dollar could also influence market sentiment. These macroeconomic developments may affect Bitcoin’s recovery and the direction of the broader crypto market.

Bitcoin has been trading between support at $80,000–$82,000 and resistance at $86,000–$88,000. The price has struggled to break above resistance in recent weeks.

Bearish divergence on the daily and three-day charts suggests that buying momentum remains limited. Bitcoin could continue moving sideways or experience a minor pullback if it fails to break above resistance.

Meanwhile, the liquidation heatmap identifies a liquidity zone around $84,500–$84,600, which could act as a short-term price target. However, a move toward this level is not guaranteed.

The weekly Supertrend indicator remains green, and a longer-term bullish divergence is still present. These signals suggest that the broader trend remains positive, despite weaker short-term momentum.

Ethereum Price AnalysisEthereum price is holding support near $2,400, but bearish divergence continues to limit its short-term momentum.

A break below $2,300 could weaken ETH’s current bullish structure. Until then, the price could continue consolidating around its current levels.

Ethereum may also follow Bitcoin’s direction as both cryptocurrencies trade within established ranges.

Solana Price AnalysisSolana is holding the $107–$110 support zone. Although its broader price structure remains bullish, bearish divergence suggests that further gains could be limited in the near term.

SOL could continue consolidating above support rather than immediately moving toward recent highs. A sustained move will depend on market conditions and buying momentum.

XRP Price AnalysisXRP price continues to trade between approximately $1.30 and $1.60. Bearish divergence on the daily chart indicates that buying momentum remains weak.

The price could remain within this range or experience a modest pullback if buyers fail to push it higher. Bitcoin’s next move could also influence XRP’s short-term direction.

Chainlink Price AnalysisChainlink has recovered from the $11.80–$12.30 support zone but faces resistance between $14.10 and $14.40.

Bearish divergence on the three-day chart suggests that LINK could continue consolidating below this resistance. While its broader bullish structure remains intact, a sustained move above $14.40 would strengthen the case for further gains.

What Could Influence Crypto Prices This Week?The reopening of the U.S. stock market could influence cryptocurrency trading this week as investors respond to broader market conditions. For now, the technical analysis points to consolidation across Bitcoin and major altcoins. Bitcoin’s ability to break above resistance or hold its support zone could help determine the next short-term direction for the wider crypto market.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says Bitcoin could reach hundreds of thousands of dollars if traditional portfolios shift more of their allocations toward it and gold.

The case rests on currency debasement, which he links to stablecoins and tokenization over the next decade.

What a Debasement Trade Means for BitcoinA debasement trade buys assets expected to hold value as governments expand debt and fiat currencies lose purchasing power. Investors use it to protect savings from inflation and weaker currencies.

Speaking at the New Era Finance Podcast, Hougan sees Bitcoin and gold as the core of that strategy. Traditional stock and bond portfolios remain exposed to fiat currency risk. Moving part of them into both assets could reduce that exposure.

Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Performance. Source: BeInCryptoDebasement concerns usually build slowly, which makes them easy to overlook. According to that view, investors who wait for a sudden crash may already be late.

Bitwise’s CIO also treats Bitcoin as the strongest risk-adjusted asset in crypto. Rising government debt and spending, the argument goes, strengthen its role as a store of value. If that thinking goes mainstream, the executive believes the price could reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Expert Council

Maybe I should be 90/10, right? 90% fiat, 10% hard assets, which is primarily Bitcoin and gold. If that sort of thinking goes mainstream, you could see huge inflows into Bitcoin, and you could see a price measured in multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

That logic explains why some savers look beyond cash and bonds. For them, the question is less about timing and more about where their money will hold value over time.

Which Crypto Deserve a Place in a Long-Term Portfolio?Hougan points to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink as key assets for exposure to debasement and tokenization. Hyperliquid could join that group, while Zcash and Venice also earn special mention.

Expert Council

Zcash is arguing that privacy should be on the Mount Rushmore. Venice is arguing that sort of real-world AI should be on the Mount Rushmore. They’re DeFi assets that I’m very bullish on. But I still think those, like if you’re making a broad-based play on debasement, that’s Bitcoin, and on tokenization, it’s hard to argue with those four assets not being part of your exposure.”

Traders also watch how these projects handle revenue and token supply. The executive suggests those mechanics may separate long-term winners from the rest.

Stablecoins and tokenization should be judged over several years, not through short-term price swings. Bitwise’s CIO sees these two trends defining the next phase of the crypto market.

Investors should treat ranking lists as a starting point, not a final verdict on where to put money.

Kripto para piyasasında uzun vadeli yatırım fırsatları yeniden gündeme gelirken Bitwise Baş Yatırım Direktörü (CIO) Matt Hougan, gelecekte öne çıkabilecek kripto varlıklara ilişkin dikkat çekici değerlendirmelerde bulundu. Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK) ve Hyperliquid (HYPE) projelerine dikkat çeken Hougan, stablecoinlerin ve varlık tokenizasyonunun önümüzdeki on yılda kripto sektörünün büyümesini destekleyebileceğini belirtti. Ünlü yönetici ayrıca Bitcoin’in uzun vadede yüz binlerce dolara ulaşabileceğini öngördü.

Matt Hougan’dan 4 Altcoin Açıklaması Bitwise Baş Yatırım Direktörü Matt Hougan, kripto para piyasasının uzun vadeli büyüme potansiyelini değerlendirirken özellikle Ethereum, Solana, Chainlink ve Hyperliquid projelerine dikkat çekti.

Hougan, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana ve Chainlink’i para birimlerinin değer kaybı ve tokenizasyon gibi uzun vadeli eğilimlerden yararlanabilecek önemli kripto varlıklar arasında gösterdi. Hyperliquid’in de bu gruba potansiyel olarak dahil olabileceğini ifade etti.

Özellikle Ethereum ve Solana’nın blockchain tabanlı finansal uygulamalardaki rolü, Chainlink’in veri altyapısı ve Hyperliquid’in merkeziyetsiz finans alanındaki faaliyetleri, söz konusu projeleri uzun vadeli büyüme beklentileri açısından öne çıkarıyor. Bununla birlikte Hougan, Zcash’in gizlilik odaklı yaklaşımına ve Venice’in yapay zeka uygulamalarına da değinerek farklı sektörlerde faaliyet gösteren kripto projelerinin rekabetine dikkat çekti.

İlginizi Çekebilir: Bu Altcoin 2026 Zirvesini Gördü: Yüzde 55’lik Ralli!

Matt Hougan’ın özellikle üzerinde durduğu projelerden biri Chainlink (LINK) oldu. Ünlü yönetici, Chainlink’in temel faaliyetlerinin güçlü olduğunu ve token ekonomisinde yapılabilecek iyileştirmelerin yatırımcılar açısından önemli fırsatlar oluşturabileceğini belirtti. Hougan’a göre kripto projelerinin yalnızca teknolojik gelişmelere odaklanması yeterli değil. Protokollerin oluşturduğu ekonomik değerin token sahiplerine nasıl yansıtıldığı da uzun vadeli başarı açısından önem taşıyor. Bu kapsamda token geri alımları, gelir paylaşımı, daha düşük token enflasyonu ve şeffaf kilit açılış takvimleri öne çıkan başlıklar arasında bulunuyor. Hougan, kripto topluluklarının gelecekte projeleri token sahipleriyle daha güçlü ekonomik bağlar kurmaya yönlendirebileceğini düşünüyor.

Bitcoin İçin Yüz Binlerce Dolarlık Tahmin Matt Hougan, altcoin projelerinin yanı sıra Bitcoin’in uzun vadeli fiyat potansiyeline ilişkin de dikkat çekici açıklamalarda bulundu. Hougan’a göre geleneksel yatırımcıların portföylerinin bir bölümünü Bitcoin ve altına ayırması, kripto para piyasasına önemli miktarda sermaye girişi sağlayabilir. Özellikle artan kamu borçları, devlet harcamaları ve itibari para birimlerinin satın alma gücüne ilişkin endişeler, Bitcoin’e yönelik alternatif değer saklama aracı talebini artırabilecek faktörler arasında gösteriliyor. Hougan, röportajında şu ifadeleri kullandı:

“Böyle bir düşünce ana akıma ulaşırsa, Bitcoin’e büyük akışlar görebilirsiniz.”

Ünlü yönetici, bu senaryonun gerçekleşmesi durumunda Bitcoin fiyatının uzun vadede yüz binlerce dolara ulaşabileceğini öngördü. Ayrıca Bitcoin’i risk ve getiri dengesi açısından kripto piyasasındaki en güçlü yatırım seçeneklerinden biri olarak değerlendirdi.

Bitwise CIO’su Matt Hougan, önümüzdeki on yılda kripto para sektörünün gelişimini şekillendirebilecek iki önemli eğilime dikkat çekti: stablecoinlerin yaygınlaşması ve gerçek dünya varlıklarının tokenizasyonu.

Hougan, değerlendirmesinde şu ifadeleri kullandı: “İki mega trend değer düşmesi ve stabilcoinlerin yükselişi ile tokenizasyondur.”

Stablecoinlerin küresel ödeme sistemlerinde daha fazla kullanılması ve hisse senedi, tahvil gibi geleneksel finansal varlıkların blockchain üzerinde temsil edilmesi, kripto altyapısına yönelik talebi artırabilir. Bununla birlikte kurumsal yatırımcıların sektöre katılımı, düzenleyici gelişmeler ve merkeziyetsiz finans (DeFi) uygulamalarının büyümesi de önemli faktörler arasında bulunuyor. Hougan, yatırımcıların bu gelişmeleri kısa vadeli fiyat dalgalanmalarından ziyade birkaç yıllık bir perspektifle değerlendirmesi gerektiğini savunuyor.

Değerlendirme Bitwise CIO’su Matt Hougan, Ethereum, Solana, Chainlink ve Hyperliquid projelerini uzun vadeli büyüme potansiyeli açısından dikkat çekici kripto varlıklar arasında değerlendirdi. Özellikle stablecoinlerin benimsenmesi, varlık tokenizasyonu ve kurumsal yatırımların artması, önümüzdeki yıllarda kripto para piyasasının gelişimini destekleyebilir. Hougan’ın Bitcoin için yüz binlerce dolarlık fiyat senaryosu ise geleneksel yatırımcıların kripto varlıklara daha fazla sermaye ayırması beklentisine dayanıyor. Ancak bu öngörülerin gerçekleşmesi piyasa koşullarına ve sektördeki gelişmelere bağlı olacak.

After holding the key support near $2250 for two days, Ethereum [ETH] sellers regained the market control, accelerating further downward. The level was the last support holding the structure after the altcoin fell outside the range it had been trading in since the last week of September.

The altcoin’s downward momentum continued before halting near the $2400 support. Bulls then regained momentum, igniting a rebound back above $2500 at $2519. Since then, the upside momentum has stalled near the $2500 mark.

Source: TradingView Meanwhile, the spot volume has been declining dramatically, as weekly ETF outflows still remain high near $542 million, suggesting demand remains weak. Heavy liquidations, dominated by leveraged longs, further accelerated the decline.

Therefore, looking ahead, $2,408 remains critical, as another breakdown below that support could expose $2,350–$2,400.

Conversely, reclaiming $2,560 would signal improving demand and open a recovery toward $2,625, potentially restoring confidence and reducing downside pressure.

ETH Open Interest signals liquidation risk Elsewhere, Ethereum’s price recovery now faces another hurdle. According to Alphractal’s derivatives positioning data, major traders’ confidence is declining.

The 30-day and 180-day open interest deltas are both negative, which represents that long-term open interest for leveraged positions will continue to decrease.

Moreover, the whale-versus-retail delta also remains negative. Therefore, it simply implies that whales are supporting less bearish trading compared to retail buyers.

Source: Alphractal This shift matters because ETH still carries approximately 10.58 million ETH, worth roughly $12.9 billion in total open interest. As such, this represents a significant amount of potential volatility should the price suddenly move.

That aside, the latest reading shows a negative delta near 940,000 ETH according to Alphractal data, reinforcing the scale of positioning pressure.

Consequently, another decline may lead to new liquidation and increased selling. On the other hand, less exposure to sell-offs may reduce volatility when Ethereum becomes stable and traders build their position cautiously.

Bitfinex ETH longs surge Ethereum’s recent sell-off has not stopped every trader from betting on a rebound. However, Bitfinex’ long positions have risen to almost $283,405 with an extreme rise in positive bets for ETH as it tries to bounce back.

The concentration of such positioning indicates that some traders believe the loss will be seen as a buy signal rather than the beginning of larger declines. Still, the bets carry a significant risk since both RSI readings have climbed above 82, indicating extremely stretched momentum.

Source: TradingView If ETH fails to sustain its recovery, these leveraged longs could face pressure to exit, potentially adding fresh selling. Conversely, continued price strength could reward early buyers and encourage further bullish positioning.

The key question is whether actual demand can support this aggressive bet before profit-taking or a reversal undermines it.

Final Summary Ethereum risks further losses below $2,430, with $2,560 key to recovery.

ETH faces liquidation risk as Bitfinex longs surge toward $283,405.

Wells Fargo is in discussions with Payward, the parent company of Kraken, over a potential partnership that would help it expand its cryptocurrency trading operations.

U.S. bank Wells Fargo is in discussions with Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, for a potential collaboration under which Payward would provide liquidity support for the bank’s digital asset trading business. The partnership would see Payward offer market depth and trade execution support, helping Wells Fargo expand crypto asset trading access for its clients without building out a full trading infrastructure from scratch. The two sides are still in negotiations, no final agreement has been reached, and both parties declined to comment. Wells Fargo has previously offered Bitcoin spot ETFs to eligible wealth management clients, invested in compliance tech firm Elliptic and trading platform provider Talos, advanced a blockchain-based deposit initiative, and joined a U.S. dollar stablecoin-related consortium. In September 2026, Nasdaq announced a $100 million investment in Payward, valuing the firm at roughly $21 billion, with Wells Fargo serving as the exclusive capital markets advisor for the deal. Separately, Payward is reportedly in talks with asset custody and services giant BNY for a broader infrastructure partnership, covering areas including digital asset products, custody, wealth management, trading, and payments. Those discussions have also not yet resulted in a final agreement. Payward is steadily expanding its footprint in traditional finance. The firm is also reportedly pursuing a European banking license, with Lithuania as its target jurisdiction. In March 2026, Kraken Financial became the first digital asset bank to secure access to Federal Reserve payment infrastructure; Payward has also obtained authorization from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority.

Former Acting Chair of the CFTC: No congressional legislation is needed, as the existing framework is sufficient to regulate the crypto market.

Former acting Chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and current Chief Legal Officer and Chief Administrative Officer at MoonPay, Caroline Pham, stated that the Commodity Exchange Act grants the CFTC broad regulatory authority, meaning the existing regulatory framework can cover emerging commodity sectors like crypto assets without waiting for congressional legislation. Pham believes the CFTC’s recently proposed rules will help strengthen protections for U.S. retail crypto traders. She noted that integrating relevant transactions into strictly regulated trading platforms is more conducive to investor protection than separate regulation by individual U.S. state laws. On stablecoins and tokenized deposits, Pham said tokenized deposits are more suited for wholesale financial markets. If all trades in a single trading day were settled via real-time atomic settlement on a blockchain, the required cash volume could hit $15 trillion—an amount existing funds cannot support. Banks currently offset counterparties’ receivables and payables through net settlement, so tokenized deposits will play a key role in wholesale markets; stablecoins, by contrast, are better for scenarios where counterparties lack trust and need to mitigate settlement risk. Additionally, Pham projects that over the next two years, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will begin listing genuine tokenized stocks and generate substantial trading volume. She stressed that real tokenized stocks should retain shareholder rights such as voting power, distinguishing them from synthetic tokens not approved by the issuing company.

Two Ethereum Foundation-linked wallets sent 4,393 Ethereum (ETH), worth about $11.13 million, to Kraken. An exchange deposit alone does not prove a sale, but the transfer adds to a decade-long run of similar moves.

The wallets received 59,751 ETH from an Ethereum Foundation (EF) wallet about a decade ago, when onchain analytics account Lookonchain says ETH traded at $0.90. Neither post shows that the ETH sent to Kraken was sold.

Do Kraken Deposits From Ethereum Foundation-Linked Wallets Mean Selling?on-chain analysts says 49,751 ETH from the original batch has reached Kraken over the past decade, at an average price of about $658.

That would leave 10,000 ETH from the 59,751 ETH allocation, though neither post says where it sits.

Lookonchain framed the transfer as a question, asking whether the foundation is dumping ETH again.

Deposits can precede sales, but the posts show only transfers, not executed trades.

How Does the Foundation Usually Disclose ETH Sales?The EF’s June 2025 policy targets annual spending of 15% of its treasury and a reserve covering 2.5 years of operating costs, with a planned glide toward 5% over five years. It says those targets will be reviewed as conditions change.

It also says the foundation periodically calculates how much, if any, ETH to sell over the following three months. Sales typically run through fiat off-ramps, which convert crypto into traditional currency, or onchain swaps.

The EF announced a 5,000 ETH conversion on X in April, routed through CoW Swap, a trading platform that spreads large orders over time.

Neither post about the Kraken deposits cites an EF statement.

That gap leaves onchain watchers reading wallet labels without confirmation from the foundation. As long as sales follow a periodic cycle, transfers like this one may keep raising the same question before an answer arrives.
