ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

Perpetual options are unique to crypto atm. They may be introduced in TradFi but I wouldn't hold my breath since perpetual futures have been around for a decade and are still crypto-only.
So it will be on major cryptos like BTC and ETH.

The existence of a token contract on Ethereum or an L2 doesn’t mean the project is *built on Ethereum* in any meaningful economic sense.
A lot of companies mint test tokens, pilot tokens, or placeholder assets on public chains for compliance, experimentation, or interoperability reasons. That doesn’t mean their core infrastructure, settlement, or production systems rely on Ethereum.
For example:
• **JPM Coin** still runs on JPM’s private Quorum fork. A test token on Base doesn’t change that.
• **SoFiUSD** is a custodial stablecoin whose issuance, redemption, and ledgering happen off‑chain. The ERC‑20 is just a wrapper.
• **Sony’s Soneium** is a proprietary chain with no economic connection to Ethereum L1.
• **Kyrgyzstan’s USDKG** is a government‑issued token with no on‑chain activity or fee generation.
• **BNP Paribas** explicitly states their Ethereum pilot is *not* production and is marked “in development” for that reason.
None of these generate meaningful gas usage, settlement demand, or value capture for ETH holders.
If these projects were actually settling real volume on Ethereum L1, we would see it reflected in fees, burn, and network activity but we don’t.
So yes, I’m happy to re‑evaluate but the data still shows that most of these “adoption” examples are pilots, wrappers, or marketing‑level integrations, not real Ethereum‑based infrastructure.

Friend, I think you're phrasing the question incorrectly. If you want to swap ETH to USDC without using a CEX, you can consider these options: Uniswap 1inch, among others, which have high liquidity for the ETH/USDC trading pair, which is advantageous in terms of slippage or price movement. There are also EVM wallets like Rabby that allow you to make the swap with very low fees, and the execution time depends on the gas of the blockchain used, which you can increase for instant execution. I hope this helps. Regards.

What people dont understand is that this is just the beginning. If we saw this same graph to 2030+ it would blow our minds...Trillions will be Tokenized. We are just now getting our feet wet.
Not all will be on ETH but the majority will.
ETH price definitely taking a lot longer to reflect but if your a long term believer with conviction you will be rewarded accordingly.

Was reading market news during lunch today — BTC ETF flows, stablecoin regulation, all the usual headlines — and it made one thing pretty clear to me:
This cycle is not anti-altcoin. It is anti-empty narrative.
Last cycle I bought too many coins because the chart looked good or the community was loud. This time I’m looking at it differently.
BTC is leading because serious capital wants BTC exposure. That does not mean alts are dead. It means the market is becoming more selective.
I’m paying more attention to tokens tied to real products, actual users, liquidity, and platforms people already use.
BTC is the anchor.
ETH is infrastructure.
Useful alts are where selectivity matters.
The next alt season won’t reward everything just because it exists. It will reward tokens that actually have a reason to exist.
Are you mostly sticking to BTC/ETH, or are you starting to look at utility/platform tokens again?

**TL;DR:**
The recent ETH price movement, which some are calling a fake breakdown, does not align with typical chart structures for such an event. Price compressed within a symmetrical wedge from May 7-10, then broke cleanly below its lower boundary without a quick reclaim or strong bounce. Momentum remained weak after the break, continuing lower instead of snapping back up, which is contrary to how most real bull traps aggressively reverse.
People seem to be ignoring this sustained downside continuation. If ETH retests the broken wedge boundary and is rejected, this would typically confirm the breakdown rather than invalidate it. While a reversal is still possible, calling every downside break a "liquidity grab" is lazy when the follow-through is actually holding.

Yes, these are projects the site claims are built on Ethereum. That’s the issue. When you actually open the source articles, most of them don’t use Ethereum at all.  
Examples directly from the list: JPM Coin (runs on JPM’s private Quorum fork), Mastercard’s tokenization pilots (private networks), BNP Paribas’ MMF (permissioned ledger), Sony Bank’s stablecoin (Sony’s internal chain), Kyrgyzstan’s USDKG (government chain), and SoFiUSD (SoFi’s own infra).  
The site is taking anything blockchain‑related, even private chains and labeling it as “Ethereum adoption.” If these were truly settling on Ethereum L1, the fee market and ETH price would reflect it. They don’t, because most of this list isn’t Ethereum at all.

Honestly the best thing you can do is slow down.
Most people rush in, buy something because it's pumping, and then have no idea what to do when it drops 40%. And it will drop 40%.
Start with BTC and ETH, nothing else. Put in a fixed amount regularly and don't touch it. Give yourself 6 months to actually understand the space before you start exploring alts.
Only put in money you'd be fine losing completely. Not "fine but sad" - actually fine. Because that scenario is always on the table.
And ignore anyone on YouTube or Twitter telling you what to buy next. That's not where the real information lives.
The boring approach sounds like bad advice until you watch everyone around you panic sell at the bottom. Then it starts making a lot of sense.

Absolutely fabulous replies, gentlemen, thank you very much! Sounds like it's a no-go for XRP. I'll likely just stick to BTC or ETH then.

I checked the articles on that timeline and almost none of them actually mention Ethereum.
This site is doing the same thing we saw in 2017, listing every corporate blockchain experiment, stablecoin, or tokenization pilot and implying it all runs on ETH. When you read the sources, most of these projects are:
• using private/permissioned chains
• using their own in‑house ledgers
• using bank‑issued stablecoins
• using generic “blockchain” infrastructure
• or just integrating USDC/MetaMask and getting counted as “built on Ethereum”
If even a fraction of these companies were truly settling on Ethereum L1 or paying meaningful fees, ETH wouldn’t be struggling price‑wise. The market would price in real demand for blockspace.
But just like the 2017 ICO era, most of these “partnerships” don’t translate into on‑chain activity, gas usage, or value capture for ETH holders. It’s mostly narrative, not actual economic adoption.

> If not for NFT's and ICO scams this ETH alt would probably have had like $10B marketcap for a moonshot potential that some day it will be used more, right now it's valued as if it landed on the moon arleady and achieved it all.

Only a few crypto coins have use as currency, and the rest are ALT coins as you know. ALT coins are just simply hype! Do your own research before purchasing. I only hold BTC (store of value) & ETH (computer rails for others to work on) in simple terms. XRP is over hyped, it's being used worldwide and the price has not increased. Don't chase hype!!

Passive investing works better than full time day trading. So BTC and ETH only, plus stocks.

2,620 is the next target ETH level, acting as a magnet pull to fill the conspicuous 5-month gap from the swing low on Nov. 20th.
BTC has already paved the way on Tuesday May 5th by filling its identical duration gap from 80,500 and holding so far.
ETH needs to at least loosen if not break the chains of persistent systemic profitable manipulation, to be able to break through resistance at 2,465. Bring out the bolt cutters.

It can go to $99999 Trillions, won't move the price of ETH an inch unless it's on ETH's chain.

Do not get into any projects that promise 100x or anything like that. BTC and ETH only.

I’ve been building the trading intelligence platform I always wanted: cross-asset signals, macro regime tracking, whale transactions, congressional trades, COT positioning, and analysis tools in one place.
Most of the data serious traders need is locked behind expensive institutional subscriptions, so I built my own version for retail traders.
**Kresmion gives you:**
**Market intelligence feed** — OSINT, SEC filings, insider trades, congressional trades, whale transactions, ETF flows, activist investors, FDA approvals, bond issuances, and COT extremes in one unified feed.
**Macro regime engine** — a daily risk-on/risk-off score built from yield curves, real yields, credit spreads, DXY, AUD/JPY, copper/gold, SPX momentum, VIX, MOVE, and economic surprise data.
**Whale + institutional tracking** — BTC/ETH/SOL large transactions, exchange wallet flows, ETF inflows/outflows, 13F holdings, and other capital flow signals.
**Trading tools** — position sizing, correlation matrix, drawdown tracker, relative strength heatmap, sector rotation, currency strength, yield curve animator, COT dashboard, screener, and signal accuracy tracking.
**Portfolio + alerts** — encrypted portfolio tracking, stress testing, watchlist-based signal alerts, price alerts, and HMAC-signed webhooks for quant workflows.
Every intelligence event is classified by direction, severity, confidence, market context, and what to watch next.
It’s free right now while I build it out. No credit card required.

What data or signals do you find hardest to access as a retail trader?

Have you considered a pov that it's unethical?
I have seen teams(including mine) at my shop literally playing with the pricing for even the high liquidity popular instruments(specifically derivatives like future & options) for equity/indices or even crypto like BTC/ETH by making contra trades and artificially controlling the prices for a short term(Typically untill the contract expires specifically for 0 DTE)with a magnificent captial allocation. This wins them a lot of money in the Derivates trade while losing some fraction in the other counterparts.(Eg buying call options, selling futures and pumping the raw equity prices to surge significantly)
So it's like a casino but they control hands.
And I am sure that many of you have witnessed the same at your shops.
Does that not your conscience/heart feel bad or guilty to be a part of? We know that it's wrong & unethical, don't we?
And no amount of charity/good work we do from this blood money is going to undo the actual damage caused already. The damage - our win is coming out of someone's (either retail/smaller shop that we knocked down)pocket (loss for them). I know they should not come to the casino to play but that doesn't mean that we are not stealing from them. It's a white collar robery!!
Not sure if anyone else share the same guilty conscience.
Apologies if that hurt your feelings.
Just wanted to share my 2 cents.

ETH fee revenue was ~$1.6 Million in March 22. ETH fee revenue on May 8, 2026 was $480K. -70% decline in fee revenue and a -30% decline in ETH price since the the Blackrock circlejerk began 2 years ago in 2024.
