crypto Composite

Dude this is 100 bucks. I know you are from India, but this is a small amount even by indian standards. Stick to BTC (maybe ETH) and stocks and move on.

The crypto market has taken a major change in direction in the last couple of years. If you can't see that I don't know what else to tell you. Trump Coin sucked the life out of most meme coins. And we've been hearing for the past decade that 99.99% of tokens will be essentially worthless, because they don't justify their value. The only coins I believe in are BTC for store of value and perhaps a few utility coins like SOL, ETH, VVV that actually have real earnings per transactions. Sure I could be wrong, but I've rotated to stocks over the last couple of years heavily from cyrpto and have sold most alts but SOL and a dash of ETH.

BTC+ETH update 07.08.26 - 24h Market Forecast (Wavelet Decomposition)

With possibly a new bull waiting in Q4 / '27 Q1, a reminder to myself. If the story below speaks to you, a reminder to yourself too:
I bought my first crypto in 2017 and made kinda bank by thinking: Bitcoin pumped, is there something that's lagging and will pump next? The talented trader that I am, I looked at CoinMarketCap and bought the coin that was second in market cap. It was $XRP. The coin did a 10x overnight and I felt like the biggest genius (I wasn't, as I didn't sell, and by 2019 my portfolio was down 80%).
After that, still not being a good trader (or shitcoiner, for that matter), I kept looking for the coin that hadn't pumped yet because I kept missing THE ONE that had.
Doge pumped? Better buy some Doge derivative.
Ethereum pumped? Better buy some ETH DeFi (governance) tokens.
ZEC pumped? Better buy that super new protocol nobody has heard of that will obv. 100x.
A specific NFT collection pumped? Better buy the 1000th iteration of the same underlying aesthetic.
DEX coins pumped? Better buy... you know the drill.
The chasing of betas gave me 10-20x portfolio swings from 2017 till 2022. Needless to say, I always ended up at break-even or below.
In 2023 I finally understood that I'm not cut out to find what's pumping in the first place, nor to find the actual betas that might work, and then also sell those coins.
So instead of chasing the beta, I started putting stuff on my watchlist and waited for the first sell-off. Goal: buy after the pump and speculate on a second and sometimes even third pump. Over time, you start to learn what bottomed-out charts *can* look like.
With a hit rate of around 60-70%, I managed to actually become profitable. My PF swings haven't been as high anymore but at least I began making money while reducing stress + screen time.
So for the coming bull, and with the first new shiny things appearing on the horizon, I'll remember the following:
* Hyperliquid pumped the most in this recent bear, so whenever attention goes back to DEXes, I'll look at the $HYPE chart and buy whenever I feel the chart looks good, and size up.
* The Solana ecosystem is a hot and fucked up mess. But it works, has volume, and "onboards" the most people. So whenever I feel like Solana is where the magic happens, I'll just size up on $SOL. Maybe some blue-chip memes like $BONK, $FARTCOIN, or even $USELESS. But heavily chart-dependent.
* Robinhood Chain will definitely be the center of attention. It's already replicating a huge downside of the Solana ecosystem: total dilution of everything. So instead of trying to buy all the hottest stuff and getting rinsed, I'll just buy $CASHCAT which is undoubtedly THE meme blue chip (already listed on the RH app).
* For privacy: $ZEC for size, and maybe some smaller MC coin whose chart proves it survived the past 12+ months. $NOCK could be a candidate.
* For AI: hard to say, as this sector has seen the most innovation (i.e. change) over the past 2+ years, which means coins get old + dumped pretty fast. The shiniest thing a few years ago is just lame today. $TAO, $NEAR, and possibly $VVV will form some sort of basket.
I'll stay the fuck out of everything else because I'm 100% sure I'll get burned immediately.
But I'll also stay alert and not become complacent, as old coins can get outperformed by new stuff at any time.
Good luck all!

According to recent exchange data published in a [CoinMarketCap community report](https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/6a7334c3e6691a1d75dd6384/), trading behavior on KuCoin is showing a significant rotation away from traditional crypto staples:
- **BTC & ETH Spot Share Dropped:** Bitcoin and Ethereum's share of top spot trading pairs on the platform fell from **74.3% down to 45.2%** in the first half of 2026, as traders rotated heavily into altcoins, AI tokens, and stock-linked derivatives.
- **Rapid Expansion into TradFi Assets:** KuCoin built out **121 tokenized stock and index perpetual contracts** in just over three months (a product line that didn't exist on the platform prior to March). This includes contracts for Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Alphabet, and even pre-IPO contracts like OpenAI.
- **The Multi-Asset Push:** Beyond trading volumes, major CEXs appear to be competing to become broader financial hubs, expanding into payment rails, RWA, and regional compliance licenses (such as MiCAR in Austria).
#### **Questions for the community:**
Do you see tokenized equities on crypto exchanges becoming a standard offering, or will regulatory friction restrict this mostly to offshore / perpetual derivatives?
If given the choice, would you trade tokenized stock perpetuals directly on a crypto platform, or stick to traditional brokerages?

I understand the problem, but I think the proposal treats a market-structure issue (who intermediates staking) as a monetary issue (how much we issue). Monetary tools are blunt, and a zero-yield curve at 50% hits solo stakers, institutional demand, and DeFi credit markets before it reaches Lido.
Here’s what I’d like to see, leaving the issuance curve unchanged:
1. Formalize a minimum review period (18 months draft-to-inclusion?) and published economic impact analysis for anything touching issuance. Converting governance risk into governance process is more valuable than individual changes.
2. Create a trustless, fee-free LST with no governance token or operator. This commoditizes staking, collapsing the moat that makes Lido and CEXs the default wrappers. You don’t fix a monopoly by starving the market’s yield.
3. Split validation into a heavy, slashable, capital-intensive finality role and a light, cheap censorship-resistance role open at ~1 ETH. Solo participants get real yield, while professional capital does the heavy lifting. This addresses the solo-staker concern without touching issuance parameters.
4. If the ratio genuinely runs to 60-70% and degrades the network, rate-limit net inflows via the entry queue above a target ratio. This is transparent, reversible, doesn’t rewrite expected returns, and doesn’t create a zero-yield validator class.
Issuance isn’t a dilution tax; it’s a security budget. At about 0.8% gross (much of it offset by burn that non-stakers capture passively), it’s cheap insurance. The endgame is security paid from real economic activity, not inflation. That happens by growing the fee economy, not by shrinking rewards by decree.
The tapered burn’s fears are legitimate (LST dominance, custodial concentration, solo-staker extinction), but they deserve surgical tools, not monetary chemotherapy.
Curious what people think, especially on enshrined LS… feels like the strongest live idea in the research pipeline.

I'm afraid that 300Mgas is amazing for throughtput but underwhelming if you are looking for *permanent* data.
300Mgas gas limit is basically 25Mgas/s throughput (regardless of slot speed). Your options after Glamsterdam
- Calldata/history. This is 40 gas per byte (new floor from EIP-7623). You get... 7.5MB per block or 625KB/s (this is napkin math). Here technically you risk nodes dropping It (EIP-4444).
- Blobs. Obviously cheapest but you'd need to reupload the directory every once in a while because these are ephemeral, as we all know...
- *Permanent state*. SSTORE (20k gas per 32-byte slot... 625 gas/byte) or the SSTORE2/contract-code trick (~200 gas/byte): only 0.5 to 1.5 MB per block, 40 to 125 KB/s. This is the only that "puts it on Ethereum" the way I think you mean.
I'm not familiar enough with it, but did:plc full export op-log seems to be in the order of tens GBs? Permanent state seems the reasonable one but theres some talk of disincentivizing it further. If you are stubborn and patient, you can use anywhere between 2000 and 4000 ETH to put 10GBs on Ethereum if there is no congestion.
Very likely you remain stuck with anchoring to a Merkle root/Checkpoint on chain and the rest in ephemeral storage (blobs). This is basically a rollup.

Good lord. Dress in purple, go to ETH Denver, and get it out of your system.

"in our lifetime" ETH will go up

- those arguments made by a stakeholder in their line of focus
- many arguments related to approaching 0% yield rely on ETH appreciating to cover costs and stani has made the argument that lower yield will make it cheaper to suppress ETH price similar to what happens with the yen

Strong case for ETH, but nothing is guaranteed in crypto. Diversification and keeping an open mind still matter.

Hi all,
I'd really appreciate some thoughts from those with more experience in crypto investing.
As part of my portfolio allocation, I have **5% allocated to crypto**, with one of my holdings being **IETH**.
I recently received an email from the fund manager advising that the ETF is being closed due to its relatively small size. They have offered three options:
1. Sell my units before the fund closes in October.
2. Do nothing, and the fund will automatically sell my units at the closing date based on the market value at that time.
3. Elect to receive the underlying ETH instead. However, this option comes with a compulsory **$500 administration fee**.
As someone who doesn't know a great deal about crypto and simply views it as one component of my overall asset allocation, here's how I'm thinking about it:
* **Options 1 and 2:** Selling the units would mean crystallising a fairly significant loss at today's prices.
* **Option 3:** My initial thought is that this may be preferable, as I can continue holding the ETH as part of my portfolio without realising the loss at this stage. The customer service representative also advised that there is no change in beneficial ownership, so it would not be treated as a CGT event. The downside, of course, is the compulsory $500 fee.
Does anyone here also hold IETH, or has anyone been through a similar ETF closure?
Am I missing anything in my thinking? Is there any downside to taking delivery of the ETH that I haven't considered?
Also, are fund managers generally allowed to charge investors a fee like this when they decide to close a fund? It feels like a bit of a lose-lose situation for investors—you either realise your losses or pay a substantial fee just to maintain your investment.
I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences.
And of course, I understand that nothing shared here constitutes financial advice.

solid research but worth separating two things, ethereum winning tokenization and eth going up aren't the same trade

most of these funds settle in stablecoins and treasuries, they don't need ETH to appreciate to work, so "wall street builds on ethereum" can be true while eth stays flat

also buidl is \~2.6b across like eight chains, not eth alone, and the 150b fund on eth isn't confirmed yet..

the dev count and institutional momentum are the strongest parts of your case though, way more than the price stuff

People need to understand the difference b/w Etherum & ETH. Please 🙏

> So quantitatively what's wrong, are you paying way more than 400 a year to keep going
On my end I have my hardware costs, taxation tracking faff, stress and work when I have to migrate stuff not necessarily at a time of my choosing and I lose loads of money if I somehow bollocks it up. There's a risk of a client bug, and I have a hot key which is harder to secure than a cold one.
And there's the risk of an economic fork: If ETH turns into two coins again everyone else will get both but if you're staked you'll have to pick a side, and let the other side activity-drain to death at best. Until recently there wasn't much prospect of that happening since the chain wasn't going to split over blob capacity or whatever but now there is and it's a serious risk I have to account for, nice work guys.

Solo staker with 32 ETH receives about .8 ETH in yield, has to pay let's say $500 a year in expenses for a machine and the hookup. Also have to pay taxes. That's almost half the profit gone. Let's say that stake 64 ETH, 1.6 ETH yield, they still lose close to 30% to expenses and taxes. Do you think that's insignificant? Or are you skipping over those guys and just talking about solo stakers with 100s of ETH staked?

I’d like to piggyback on this and add that debasement in single digit percentages means absolutely nothing to a solo staker and ETH holder when the coin is flat over the better part of a decade let alone when it’s 60% down from its all time high.

What is your take on comments [like this via @lex_node](https://x.com/lex_node/status/2085432492962771386):
>Coinbase literally can offer EXTRA things for staking...for example, Coinbase offers leverage on staked ETH....they benefit a lot from staking as a service even if issuance is significantly lower because they can make MEV (Coinbase literally was the recipient of the outsized Curve hacker award, $1M for a single transaction)...and they get TVL and don't want to lose those deposits to competitors
...
> so there really isn't a reason to think this proposal will net-reduce intermediation, it will just shift intermediation from protocol-based trust-minimized decentralized staking solutions (Lido) to centralized ones (Coinbase, Kraken, et. al.) as they can diversify the staking rewards outside the Ethereum protocol

ETH to the moon, I can feel it coming. Early next year?

The scenario numbers intentionally only cover your second question right? It's entirely "how many ETH I end up with", particularly in the case of self staking vs using a custodian. Debasement is ignored, if it wasn't it would push it even further in favour of the proposal.
