ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

I tend to view Ethereum the network and ETH the asset a bit more related to each other. To extrapolate a bit, if people collectively decided the price of ETH will be a slow bleed only, there isn’t much incentive left to participate in the network as validators.
You’d have to willingly buy a depreciating asset to stake, and get rewarded with a little yield (with the same depreciating asset). So Ethereum will quickly lose its value as infrastructure as well, if there’s no hope for ETH as an asset. And vice versa, the value of the infrastructure will grow along with the price.
Without a hunger for running validators, we would soon be on track on becoming a slow Solana lmao

I think that’s a fair read.
The bounce was cleaner than the previous one, mainly because it didn’t look like pure leverage chasing, but I agree that clean internals alone aren’t the same as full confirmation. Until ETH/BTC improves, BTC dominance cools off, and alts start showing broader participation, it’s hard to call this a real expansion phase.
Right now it still looks more like selective strength than a fully confirmed risk-on move.

Still interesting that you want to leave all the way and not at least keep some BTC or ETH. Even if I left, those are safe picks to just let the money ride in while I'm done playing the game in general, since I definitely support the idea of abandoning everything else. I'm a gambler, even still I only play with what I can lose since it is so risky, especially nowadays.

**TL;DR:**
E*Trade will launch crypto trading by 2026, charging a 0.5% fee. This is significant due to its millions of pre-KYC users, making crypto access frictionless. These traditional investors will likely buy and hold spot crypto, not comparing fees to CEXs. This could lock up BTC supply and impact market structure, potentially diverging BTC and ETH funding rates.

Morgan Stanley confirmed they're launching crypto trading on E\*Trade before 2026, charging 0.5% in fees.
Most people probably see this as just another traditional institution getting into crypto, but I think what actually matters is the user base behind E\*Trade. Millions of accounts that already have KYC done, bank accounts linked, and are used to buying stocks on there. The friction for these guys to buy crypto is basically 0, it's just a tap away.
0.5% fee isn't cheap by crypto standards, Binance maker fees are under 0.1%. But for E\*Trade stock users that never touched a CEX in their life, they're not even gonna compare that. Their reference point is buying stocks, not Binance.
I'm more interested in how this affects market structure. These traditional investors behave completely differently from crypto natives. They don't check funding rates, don't trade perps, don't chase alts, they just buy spot and hold. Which means BTC's circulating supply gets locked up even more.
I went on bydfi and coinbase to compare the recent funding rates between BTC and ETH when the news came out. I found BTC side has been pretty stable, ETH is way more volatile. If traditional users really only buy those two after E\*Trade launches, that divergence could get even more obvious.
What do you think, are traditional brokerages adding crypto a threat to existing CEXs or actually good for them? Or are these just completely different user groups that don't even compete with each other?

THORChain was exploited today by an XMR-funded wallet that used Wagyu XYZ to swap prior to stealing \~$10M from THORChain's decentralized vaults.
The THORChain teams, community and node operators are still dissecting the information to find out exactly what happened.
JP (co-founder of THORChain) said he believes its a TSS (threshold signature) attack from a malicious node operator.
The stolen BTC, ETH and BNB have not moved yet. The majority of the stolen funds are \~$7.5M worth of ETH.
I wrote a full blog post on this if you're curious on the details: [https://x.com/khalkaz/status/2055312723739619656](https://x.com/khalkaz/status/2055312723739619656) *Full Disclosure: I also build LeoDex* *and THORChain is one of the 107+ DEXes we support for routes. THORChain Trading is currently paused.*

If it's more on the meme coins you have to really be hands on; watch trends on the dot, but if you're on BTC, ETH or BNB, you think long term for these. You shouldn't be emotional with this and be disciplined to do so imo OP.

In your view what will cause more ETH to be burned? I'm not aware of Glamsterdam changing anything in that regard, do you mean more activity will come to the L1?

Swap ETH (ERC-20) Tokens to XMR with low fees?

channel down on 15m is fine for scalping but watch for a fakeout below support before you short, ETH loves to wick through the lower trendline and reverse. i'd wait for a candle close below the channel rather than front-running the touch. if you're taking the short, keep stops tight above the upper boundary so one green candle doesn't wreck the trade.
for running setups like this around the clock, some traders in here use markets xyz for the ETH perps.

Yeah I get what you mean. I was talking more about the internal crypto structure than the broader macro backdrop. Macro still looks pretty messy imo.
I just meant yesterday’s bounce looked cleaner underneath because leverage didn’t aggressively expand with price like some of the prior moves.
But internally I still don’t think crypto fully looks broad risk-on yet either tbh. ETH/BTC still weak, BTC dominance still elevated, alts still not broadening properly etc.

I bought at the highs 2 months ago 😭
Thought gold was running away to $10k so wanted to catch it before before it hit $6k. Dropped to $4500 probably 6 hours after I made my late night purchase.
I’d rather be early I suppose.
Dont feel bad. I bought ETH @ $400 back in the day at what seemed like an ath. It dropped to $200 a few days later and stayed there. I moved all my crypto to a hardware walled and put it aside. Sold during covid for close to $4500 and manage to survive covid layoff for an entire year on crypto sales alone.

I'm wanting to give yield farming a try. I have the basic requirements ready (a crypto wallet with USDC + ETH).
Any advice on which platform(s) I should look into and why would be much appreciated!

Indeed lol. Seems like the only thing ETH is capable to do is to go lower. Every day, week, month,...

The real answer here is crypto. And by that I mean primarily BTC and ETH, anything else would be ultra high risk.

Aaaahm, we know the founder of ETH.
Could it get any worse tbh?

Yes many people do it but only BTC and ETH else you lose money

I’ve been diving into event trading lately, and I just noticed that BingX added 10x leverage to their EventX platform
Honestly, it caught me off guard and
this makes me wonder if trading in prediction markets is evolving?
We're increasingly seeing these common elements of crypto trading integrated into these prediction markets
I'm seeing more traders moving away from the usual BTC/ETH charts to speculate on things like news, global events, or economic data
I feel that just as cryptocurrencies have changed, the way we trade is also changing
Is this type of trading sustainable in the long term? Or is it just a high-leverage fad?
