## Perpetual Futures & Trading Insights 📊
The perpetual futures market has seen significant activity, with a massive **$700-800 million in liquidations** over the past 24 hours. The majority of these were short positions, with Bitcoin and Ethereum traders taking the biggest hits.
* **Total Liquidations:** $700-800M
* **BTC Liquidations:** $382M
* **ETH Liquidations:** $231M
The funding rates for Ethereum are slightly bullish, suggesting that the market may be looking to re-establish short positions.
## Latest Crypto News Headlines 📰
* **Bitcoin Surges Past $97,000:** Driven by legislative optimism and strong ETF inflows, Bitcoin has reached its highest price since November.
* **Ethereum Breaks $3,400:** Ethereum has also seen a significant price jump, with analysts predicting further upside.
* **Massive Liquidations Rock the Market:** Over 106,000 traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours, highlighting the volatility of the current market.

If there really is a gap here, it probably won't close on a clean narrative timeline. ETH has a habit of looking 'boring' right before fundamentals start to matter again.

With $20 and a “go big or go home” vibe, maybe try a mix — a meme coin for fun + a small portion in a mainstream like BTC or ETH. Could be risky, could be moon 🚀💸

I have been guilty of jumping into the alt coin hype and have learned an expensive lesson... Unless you are the lucky or incredibly smart .5%, stay away from alt coins.
80%+ Should go to Bitcoin. 10%+ ETH. A few percent in SOL. XRP is ok but I'd keep any alt coin investment outside of the top 10 at less than 3%.

ETH is the future! Hopefully, 2026 is the year the market finally wakes up to just how big Ethereum is in stablecoins, DeFi and tokenized assets.
^(!tip 1)

Guess that helps explain why Crypto was up on a day where stocks were down as much as -1.5% and the entire Mag-7 was in the red.
ETFs set another back-to-back higher high of net inflows since early October. **+$840 Million** in net BTC inflows today (Blackrock alone was +$648M) and ETH had net inflows of +$175 Million. That's over $1 Billion worth of ETF purchasing today, and just over $2 Billion in the last 3 days.
Shorts wanted *none* of that smoke today trying to go up against that sort of accelerated buying momentum... or maybe they tried, and that's why over $250 Million in shorts were liquidated this morning on the way up to 97.5k.

Totally agree—sticking to blue chips like ETH/BTC with stables keeps IL in check and lets you compound safely.

In my experience:
- Focus on pools with real trading volume for fees.
- Diversify across a few DEXs to spread risk.
- Monitor gas costs, especially on volatile days.

If you're on BASE, something like Yieldseeker might help automate USDC yields. Thoughts?

Buy ETH and the rest is easy

if this is long-term / retirement money, security matters more than squeezing out max yield.
Running your own ETH node gives the most control, but it’s also a lot of operational work and comes with slashing and uptime risk. Liquid staking (Lido, Rocket Pool) can boost yield, but you’re taking on smart-contract risk and unstake delays.
What I’ve done instead is keep my ETH exposure separate and earn yield on stablecoins via CoinDepo. It’s not ETH staking, but it’s been a safer, simpler complement:
* No DeFi or staking contracts
* Fireblocks custody
* No lockups, withdraw anytime
* Yield from a straightforward lending model

Definitely makes sense since it adds risk. I should've made it more clear that the guaranteed yield comes from the fact that it would be tokenized Stacked ETH deposited for the shares, meaning you're going to earn staking rewards regardless. So it's tokenized Staked ETH with the benefit of stealing from lost/inactive wallets.

wdym fees 0.0002? im guessing if im using ETH, the fee won't be that.

Pretty simple; you have your main treasury (aka your bag) with BTC or ETH. You deposit that into a lending platform, you then borrow against it.
You use that borrowed money to generate a cash flow through different defi strategies.
You collect your daily rewards and keep stacking your bags. Borrow more when you can, rinse and repeat.

Thanks for the reminder. I will invest some money in tomorrow. If WYFI goes up BTBT should too. If it isnt and relatively ETH stays the same, then we will have an arbitrage opportunity. Lets see if it holds up. If it is, we can make a lot of money by simply rotating lol.

Capped supply is a weakness long term, what’s important is gradually increasing scarcity. Issuance is what secures the network. Once the BTC supply cap is reached how will miners be incentivized to secure the network? Transaction fees are down only, digital gold is mostly held not transacted. ETH issuance isn’t capped but it is limited and lower than BTC by percentage of supply. Ethereum also has burn mechanisms that could make it deflationary. It’s ok to prefer BTC but the intellectual dishonesty or lack of clear discourse on the quantum resistance or security budget issues is cultish.

Just DCA that 3k into BTC and ETH over the next few months and forget about it. Don't try to time the market or pick obscure altcoins if you want safety. See you in 2031.

Just buy BTC. I regret putting any money into alts, including ETH. My BTC position has doubled in value and I’ve been buying continuously for years constantly raising my average cost basis. I’m just a little in the green on ETH now after a similar period of time. Every other alt is deep in the red.

Op. Bit of a silly question on an ETH forum !!!!

I haven't watched the episode yet, but just from your comment I can guess at what I think Canton is doing right: _avoiding jargon_.
Them: "we have privacy and make confusing things work together!"
Us: "obv you just need to use the L2 zkMixer proof hash chain rollup in wrappers and swap with a dex"
Time to start speaking human to the average Joe if we want to avoid glazed eyes.
Lovingly said, as a big big believer in ETH.
