Imagine doing a BTC to ETH swap: gas, slippage, fees and IRS tax

Hi community!

Where I am atm:
1. I started my yielding path from low risk stablecoin lending on Aave and after that I moved all the liquidity to Morpho Vaults V2. Atm I have 2 positions there in USDC vaults (Prime and Frontier) under Gauntlet curator. In total I have there $11k+ with 5.5% net APY.

2. I have free ETH (not in staking) and I am researching Etherfi protocol.
\- Anyone have any experience with Etherfi?
\- And is it a good idea to just put ETH in staking/liq staking or shoudl I consider some more advanced strategy?
\- I see Etherfi has also USD and EUR deposits. Do anyone use this tool and what's your feedback on it?
3. I have a free USDT as well, but I see less opportunities with it in DeFi.
More details:
I am jobless at the moment and I am considering strategies up to a mid risk. I am not asking to gave me a working solution or manage my assets on my behalf, I am ready to learn and research, I just need opinions and expertise of more experienced users.

GameSquare recently sold 1,209 ETH and holds approximately 14.3K ETH at July 14, 2026
Prioritizing share repurchases reflects management's belief that GameSquare common stock offers compelling return potential in light of positive momentum across the Company's platform

I think this article does a good job of explaining it https://x.com/alchemixfi/status/2077754531908026468

\*\*TLDR\*\* alETH and alUSD redeem at 1:1 to ETH and USDC respectively. So the yield rate you earn is based on (1) the discount you’re able to buy it at, and (2) with the term length.
.
Example: (Based on current day)
\- alETH is trading at a market price of .97 ETH, and term length of 9 months
\- Spend 10 ETH and receive 10.31 alETH
\- Deposit into Transmuter and get 10.31 ETH after 9 months, or .31 ETH profit
\- (.31 / 10.31) = \~3% of your stack in 9 months
\- If you annualized that to APR:
.31% \* (12 months / 9 months) = \~4.1% APR

**1. Is Uniswap still cheapest?** Not really the right question anymore. Uniswap actually dropped its interface fee earlier this year, so it’s cheaper than it used to be, not more expensive. But honestly you shouldn’t be comparing raw DEX prices anymore, you want an aggregator like 1inch or CoWSwap (or Uniswap’s own UniswapX). They pull liquidity from Uniswap plus dozens of other pools and route your trade across whichever combo gives the best price, so you get Uniswap’s liquidity anyway but with better execution on top.
**2. Bridging SOL to ETH** Uniswap was never going to help here since it’s a DEX, not a bridge, and it only runs on EVM chains. Solana isn’t EVM so it’s just never going to show up there. For now.
Easiest way to do this in one shot is a cross-chain aggregator like deBridge, LI.FI, or Rango. You give it SOL, it gives you ETH, and it handles the swap and bridge together behind the scenes.
If you want more control, you can also do it manually: swap SOL to USDC on Solana using Jupiter or 1inch (1inch added Solana support last year), bridge that USDC over to Ethereum using Wormhole or Circle’s CCTP, then swap USDC to ETH once it lands. More steps, but sometimes cheaper if you’re moving a larger amount.
Depends on your size trade I’d just start with a cross-chain aggregator, get a quote, and compare it against doing it manually before you commit.

Damn they must have a hard time getting hold onto ETH because of USA-Iran war. Where did they even get it?

BTC+ETH update 21.07.26 - 24h Market Forecast (Wavelet Decomposition)

what's with these repeated posts? bots trying to game something?
this exact same post was created here and then deleted https://www.reddit.com/r/defi/comments/1uz068g/comment/oy3k9ak/
my answer was:
Nowadays, the protocol itself is not really a meaningful indicator of "cost".
In the case of swapping one token for another, you need to consider things such as liquidity (namely across the pools of the DEX), pool fees (typically ranging from 0.01% to 0.30%), protocol fees (which sometimes includes UI fees), and transaction fees (which are dependent on the chain you're swapping).
That's why aggregators have become so popular, with Defillama's Swap being one of the most recommended ones (https://swap.defillama.com/).
Additionally, for your case involving Solana and Ethereum, you have to add bridging to the mix, and might have to go through an additional hoop (e.g. SOL -> USDC -> ETH).
This is where intent/solvers, with Jumper being one of the best aggregators for such services https://jumper.xyz/?fromChain=1151111081099710&fromToken=11111111111111111111111111111111&toAddress=0x02023f74ED12Df7752144aE8A23411776D4698b4&toChain=1&toToken=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

I am trying to unstake through Lido but the withdrawal queue is showing multiple days, tried a small amount and my steth just disappeared and i received a weird NFT
Is there currently a instant way to Unstake Lido ETH / a cheap way to do that? It's so frustrating

With all the hype around AI lately, I’ve been trying to find a decent AI trading assistant. None of them are great but there are some which are worth giving a shot imo.
I don't know how to code, and I don't have the time to stare at TradingView charts all day. I just want a reliable "co-pilot" to help automate or semi-automate the management of my ETH and crypto portfolio.
Here is what I’ve tested so far:
**Binance Auto-Invest**: Super easy to use, but it’s mostly just glorified Dollar Cost Averaging. It doesn't really feel like "AI" making active market decisions.
**Bybit Aurora AI**: Definitely more advanced and has a lot of yield options, but my biggest issue with it is that it’s very transparent. It gives you an estimated APY, but doesn't really explain how it's getting there.
**OKX Signal Bot**: Sounds great if you already know what you are doing, but it requires way too much manual setup for a beginner.
Are there any other exchanges or platforms I'm missing? I’m specifically looking for something that is built for casuals and actually explains why it's taking a trade so I can learn while I use it.

Yes, do NOT use anything centralized options, it's dumb as you can do it in fully decentralized ways.
Just use [**switcher.fi**](http://switcher.fi) and select ETH > SOL, it's instant, everything in wallet and takes 2 seconds / 0% slippage.

Isn’t bottom for ETH historically before BTC anyways? So if the majority says October low for BTC bottom might form already and it‘ll be only a retest of the low

Hey everyone, I haven’t done much in crypto for years, since 2023, and I’m thinking about getting back in since prices look interesting. I also just realized I still have solana left (planning to convert to ETH)
I remember uniswap having the best protocol rates/slippage, it was basically unbeatable, but I noticed uniswap doesn’t support solana though
My questions:
1. Is uniswap still the cheapest these days? (it looks like they’ve added higher fees)
2. How do I bridge SOL to ETH if uniswap doesn’t support it?

I think it helps to see Bitmine as a kind of ETF, which it is, really. It's not Tom Lee that owns all that ETH. It's all the very many shareholders of Bitmine.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to self-custody wallets and made a beginner mistake. I withdrew 196.28 USDT (ERC-20) from ZebPay to my Binance Web3 Wallet without realizing I'd need ETH for gas.
Now I have 196.28 USDT but 0 ETH, so I can't send, swap, or bridge it. I also tried buying ETH through Binance, but my card payment isn't going through (I'm in India).
If anyone is willing to send around \*\*0.0005 ETH\*\* (or even less if sufficient) to help cover the gas fee, I'd be incredibly grateful.
I tried almost every possibility and couldn't find a workaround.
Wallet:
\`0x571548b8502001B5b0e1AEFf55B8FEc0287f46c1\`
Thanks in advance!

Everyone is losing money right now. The high fees on ETH are hardly a selling point. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and it’s far from over. I personally think Cardano has a better programming model

BLOX is actually one of the better Crypto ETFs. It's investments in Semiconductor companies had helped it from totally falling down during the Crypto downturn. I'm starting to load up on it now as BTC and ETH seem to be catching a bid. And It'll still pay while we wait for it to take off.

ETH= Bank coin, with no fixed supply.

What is the point of BTC, if ETH is better in every way?
