Because the ledger of a privacy coin like Monero is not publicly transparent - only the parties to a transaction get its details.
So in the simplest sense, if you have Alice send Bob tainted Bitcoin and get Monero in exchange, then Alice sends that Monero to Steve, Steve has no practical way to tell the tainted BTC had anything to do with that. Steve may then go and convert that Monero back into BTC via his own exchange, for example.
Because blockchain and cross-chain analyses are a thing, if each of those transactions were say ~138k worth, and transferred in one lump sum each time within a short period of time, then it would be possible to surface a strong statistical likelihood that the ~133k or so BTC that Steve just got from his exchange, is in fact the 'value' of that initial ~138k of tainted BTC that Alice attempted to launder, minus the various fees and conversion margins that took a chunk out of it along its journey. This is simply from analysis of public BTC activity, with no insight into internal exchange records, or privacy coin transactions, which are opaque.
If instead Steve held onto some of that Monero and transacted with it in various other amounts, such as converting 50k to BTC and withdrawing it to his bank account, spending 10k with a computer store via bitpay, and converting 20k to ETH to send to his brother's wallet to pay back a loan, and leaving the remaining 60k in his Monero wallet, then the chances of any chain analysis tying together Steve's money and the initial tainted BTC Alice interacted with, is close to nil.

I agree. Just to clarify, I haven’t backtested this on BTC and wouldn’t blindly apply SOL’s exit settings to another asset.
If I expand it, I would first run the signal generation in paper or shadow mode, then evaluate each asset’s volatility, liquidity, correlation and holding-time distribution. Stops and exit architecture would need to be validated separately for that asset.
My point about correlation was only that simultaneous BTC, ETH and SOL signals should not be counted as fully independent evidence, not that they should all use identical exits.

was it done in context? or at random I'll take a strategy that works only on gold. 15 minutes candle with time Fram starting from NY open till 90 minutes later and tried it on ETHUSDT?
because that's what I see people "test" here taking shit out of context and slapping it on random crap

I guess I would argue that the landscape since genesis has been too volatile to draw any conclusions. I'd very surprised if the majority of stake is due to holders waiting to offload at $10k ETH (or whatever much higher price). Basically ETH didn't experience a bubble in the same way as BTC, so people are still bag-holding. In the mean time, of course it makes sense to stake, while others join waiting for the next bubble.
If I had time I'd love to take a closer look at your article. However, I see statements like, *"Ethereum staking ratio is at all-time high and will keep rising — incentives baked into the protocol will take us close to a 100% staking ratio if we do nothing;"*, and I feel that is quite alarmist. I seriously doubt stake would ever rise to nearly 100%, for all kinds of reasons.
Crypto exists in such a wildly evolving space that major decisions should be very carefully considered - over the coming years there is clearly scope for massive regulatory and adoption shift, and, right now, guessing the best issuance curve for "all time", seems fraught at best.

Ahh, got you😂 We cover crypto too. What are you mainly trading, BTC/ETH or more of the altcoins?

Hi everyone! I used to buy ETH on Binance P2P because I thought it was the cheapest option. Now I am trying HashKey. For the same amount of money, HashKey shows I will get more ETH than Binance P2P, which confuses me.
I have two questions:
* **Hidden Fees:** Are there extra taxes or hidden fees on HashKey that I need to know about?
* **Final Amount:** Will I actually receive less ETH than the amount shown on the screen after I pay?
I don't understand why the P2P network exists if you get less at the end...

I haven’t tested it on other crypto yet. I developed the logic after watching Bitcoin’s liquidation map for two and a half years, then applied it to SOL because SOL generally follows Bitcoin with greater volatility.
Testing BTC, ETH and XRP could demonstrate portability, but it wouldn’t give me truly independent trades. Crypto assets are highly correlated, so many buys and sells would occur during the same market-wide moves. It would also create overlapping positions rather than genuine diversification.
It’s something I may test later, but expanding into a less correlated market would probably tell me more. I plan to do this.

So this is just a round about way to sell options on ETH

Less ETH on exchanges doesn’t guarantee higher prices, but it definitely makes the supply side more interesting.

This is a little late reply, but hope it helps. Did run your portfolio through our portfolio risk engines at [Sentralis.io](https://sentralis.io) (free accounts are available, so you can play around with the different scenarios yourself) and this is the result:
At yesterday's prices the five positions are worth about $49K, split HYPE 36%, SOL 26%, PUMP 19%, LIT 12% and SKR 7%. LIT and SKR have less than a month of price history in our data, which is too short to model. The risk numbers below therefore cover the HYPE, SOL and PUMP positions only,( 81% of the portfolio).
Several commenters treated this portfolio as one single altcoin bet, and the data does not fully support that view. Over the past year the pairwise correlations between HYPE, SOL and PUMP were between 0.51 and 0.66, while BTC, ETH and SOL were at 0.86 to 0.90 with each other over the same period. The difference showed in the replay of the bear market from October 2025 to July 1. SOL fell 66% and PUMP fell 78% in that period, while HYPE gained 29%. That period on your current weights gives a loss of 26%, against 51% for BTC alone. The 26% loss in depends entirely on the rise of HYPE. If HYPE had fallen as much as SOL did, the same replay would show a loss of about 69%.
The cost of holding these three coins is volatility. Together they run at about 81% annualized volatility, which is close to double the 43.5% of BTC. I simulated one year forward from current volatility and correlations, with no price trend assumed in either direction. In the worst 5% of simulated outcomes the three positions lose 69% or more. Seven out of ten simulated paths go through a drawdown of at least 50% at some point during the year, and one in five goes through a drawdown of 70%. All simulation figures in this reply are model estimates under the stated assumptions, and they are not predictions.
You wrote that you can manage a drawdown and would start to DCA into it again, so the drawdown sizes matter for how much cash you keep aside. One in four simulated paths ends the year at double the starting value or more. 97% of those winning paths still went through a drawdown of at least 30% on the way. A 30% drawdown is therefore what this portfolio does even in a good year, and a 50% drawdown is what it does in most years.

OLD: SOL, ETH, BTC
NEW: CC, HYPE, SYRUP

You can check the inside yourself. Morpho has a public API (api.morpho.org/graphql) that returns every vault's market allocations and its depositors, so I pulled the biggest Ethereum USDC vaults today, Sep 17.
Steakhouse Prime USDC ($117M) is 84% lent against cbBTC, 12% against WBTC and 4% against wstETH. Gauntlet USDC Prime ($94M) is 65% cbBTC, 29% WBTC and 5% wstETH. All of it sits in 86% LLTV markets. By weight the two overlap 81%, and both are about 95% a loan book against wrapped Bitcoin. Picking one over the other changes your cbBTC/WBTC mix and not much else. A BTC gap down that outruns liquidations hits both the same way.
Re KPK (your question further down): KPK USDC Prime ($20.6M) is 64% BTC collateral (39% cbBTC, 25% WBTC) and 36% ETH staking tokens (rETH, OETH, wstETH, LsETH). Its overlap with Steakhouse is 55% and with Gauntlet 70%, so it's less of a copy than the big two are of each other. The API shows a 0% performance fee and 0% management fee.
What I'd look at there is who else is in the vault. The top two depositors hold 75% of it and the top four hold 92%. The largest is the ENS endowment safe with $7.9M, then the CoW DAO treasury safe with $7.5M. Third is an address I couldn't identify ($2.2M) and fourth is the Balancer treasury safe with $1.4M. KPK manages all three of those DAO treasuries. The vault's withdrawable liquidity was $8.05M when I checked, about the size of either of the two big positions. If one of them pulls out, everyone else waits for borrowers to repay. Rates jump and it clears, but not the same day.
None of that is hidden and I don't mean it as a knock on KPK. They publish monthly reports for these DAOs and everything above is on-chain. But the curator's name and the APY tell you none of it, and like peysab said, nobody runs this check continuously.

Thats exactly what happened to someone I know. He didnt believe me when I told him it was a scam. They believed they were mining ETH on their phone. The mobile app looked very polished and legit. He was such a nice guy, I felt bad for him.

There's even more longs at risk for ETH if we drop. It only needs to go below $2,350 to start triggering some major liquidations.

Good point. According to the consensus specs 256 ETH can be leave the beaconchain every epoch (6.4 minutes). Same for the deposits. That amounts to about a max $100k every minute. As far as I have seen Railgun does this kind of volume over several days currently and not per minute. There was one peak in 2024 where Railgun had on average $100k every 30 minutes for a week. Tornado Cash had about $100k withdrawals every 30 minutes for July and August. This is larger than what they ever did since inception. As far as I see, the 0xbow privacy pools are tiny compared to that. Good enough for small private transactions, but not really volume. So, as far as I see, the Volumes for a beaconchain privacy pool could be massive.
At the moment the withdrawal queue is full and the deposit queue has been full for months, meaning this maximum volume really is achieved currently. On average over the last 10 days 40% of the maximum withdrawal limit has been achieved, which means around $41k of volume per minute. I would guess one would have to increase these churn limits if a beaconchain pool will ever get established. One disadvantage of the beaconchain pool is that it can take months to get in and back out. Obviously, only ETH would be allowed in that pool, but for me that is a plus anyway.
To be honest I am not really sure if the beaconchain deposits and withdrawals should be used as a privacy pool. If the goal is to decouple beaconchain withdrawals from deposits, it will be used as a privacy pool anyway. The question is just how easy it will be made for the normal user to use it.

For LPs specifically, impermanent loss is the thing people underestimate until it bites them. If you're pairing two assets that move independently, IL eats into your fee income fast if prices diverge. Correlated pairs like ETH and stETH, or two stablecoins, minimize that risk a lot compared to pairing something volatile with a stablecoin.

buy the rumour sell the news exists in much bigger markets with much higher liqudity. The main difference is crypto is also much larger and more liquid now, so the effect is dampened. It's not easy to sell or buy enough ETH reacting to news to move it as it was when it was $300 a unit

This is a stupid way to frame it.
Crypto sources its funds from ordinary banks. People put their savings into DeFi because when banks pay 0-2%, NOT using DeFi is losing money to inflation.
That's where all the ETH, DOT, ADA, AVAX, FTM, MATIC, NEAR, and every other NFT going crazy comes from.
Without that money, no alt-season.
Because we shifted regime from nearly 2 decades of 0-2% interest to a 4%+ interest regime, the death of alt-season happened in 2022.
It's never about "crypto being a lifestyle". It's about the money valve getting firmly clamped shut

77k + today. Look at all the shorts. Same with ETH. Just 10 bucks away from triggering 700 mill in shorts
