ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

ETH is an indirect play, but all stablecoins boost Ethereum network activity and liquidity, and ultimately trickles down to ETH price. Essentially, if stablecoin volume and liquidity remains largely on Ethereum or Ethereum L2s, and continues to grow as it has been, then the ETH staking yield becomes very much like a bond to offset onchain capital risk for trading firms and institutions. So a lot of DeFi players will hold and stake ETH to generate that yield which they can convert to stablecoins to manage positions. For example, stock trading is now happening on Robinhood's L2 through Uniswap. So the DeFi circular economy is slowly integrating into the real world, and as it does, it starts being less circular, and ETH yield starts looking very attractive to large players and financial institutions to manage real financial asset positions onchain.

Starknet + ETH

Sui, Aster, and ofc BTC,ETH, SOL

>Only 121M ETH for 8.3b people.
Crypto has been around for a while, I don't think this kind of FOMO will work anymore.
Every dollar ETH gains in value, it has to earn with actual utility.

I can see QNT - Quant gain much more value in some 10 years time. Not only is it an overledger technology that is ISO compliant, it has also a great ex-HSBC guy behind it as well as the number of tokens is lower than BTC.
But from the more known ones, my money is on HBAR, SOL, ETH, maybe XRP and of course BTC.

Bitcoin and maybe ETH and a couple of others if they are lucky. It could turn around and I see all the hope and how it was in 22 but I have been doing it since 2013 , Etrade acted like I was buying a pyramid scheme and wouldn’t get them when they were $50-200. My uncle, PHD economist couldn’t or wouldn’t wrap his head around it I saw the opportunity from the chart alone. And also I heard somewhere that bitcoin will be a million dollars someday .
Whst I loved about bitcoin was the low float , 22 million that brilliant guy who started it all….
But yea I sit here and I don’t fret about it much but I do curse Etrade for not getting me 20 coins for $1000. The only other 1000 x investment I know of is NVDA

ETH -> WBTC via. Uniswap -> Redeem WBTC via. BitGo is likely cheapest, but will require dox on the BitGo offramp and not decentralized that way. Have you tried feathering smaller amounts through Thorswap? Been a while since I've used it. Might also be worth to find a local OTC counterparty and do the transaction in person if you can find somebody who wants your ETH. Following to see if others have some other creative options, good luck.

Hi all, i'm looking to swap some ETH into BTC, since i'm moving large amounts i'm wondering what protocol has the lowest fees/slippage, thorswap seems to have upgraded their fees as their UX shows as \~2.6% slippage. which is non-sense. i wanna do it in a decentralized way. What protocol has the lowest fees/slippage that's worth using in 2026? Please leave a comment.

Hedera HBAR is my top pick but I think BTC, ETH, LINK, and SOL will still be kicking.

BTC. almost everything else is a shitcoin except maybe ETH SOL SUI 80% BTC 20% these

If a big reason that ETH is up is based on public optimism towards the Fed meet, and if that isn't until around July 28th, isn't it a good idea to wait to sell ETH until a few days before that at the earliest, barring unforeseen occurrences?

Some of their early "investments" were not stable. It's not clear how much they made or lost. And what's the implications on tax or fines they have to pay (And to who?). Right now the only thing for sure is they can withstand larger bankrun than any 5 banks combined you name it. And no one bother/able testing this theory because what's the benefit? In a sense a 100% bankrun might actually be great for them. So they can retire not telling anyone about the profits. But I am sure it will trigger massive crypto devaluation and bankruptcy for more entities like MSTR or even banks and Treasury. Not only BTC and ETH will dip, bonds too given they are "THE" largest holder.

ETH is planning for the post-quantum era, it likely survives. BTC with current blockspace limits would take close to a year to 'rekey' all 50k accounts to post-quantum cryptographic schemes for signatures, If every block was full of users migrating their accounts to new keys. It isn't too late for BTC but it will be in a couple of years. Worrying about Satoshi's coins is the least of BTC's worries.

The Ai to ETH rotation will be glorious. Flight to quality. Only 121M ETH for 8.3b people.

**Question:** Given the trajectory (weak first year, strong recovery, two courses retaken and mastered), the math/CS/econ coursework mix, the competitive programming background, and the applied quant/ML experience but no publications (hopefully soon)—is this a realistically competitive profile for top MFE/quant finance master's programs, or am I overreaching on my target list?

BTC and ETH are the easy answers here, everything else is a gamble for that timeframe

With swing selling you have to hold for a while, might be months or even years. There is a very low chance of ETH testing its ATH for a long time but I'd guess it will in the next few years. Hitting 3K is another matter. Probably the best strategy with ETH has been to buy around 2K and selling at 3K.

Bitcoin is “store of vibes” value. ETH and Solana are actual tech stacks with utility other than “store value move money”.
Most organizations don’t seem comfortable building on blockchain infrastructure and prefer traditional cloud stacks like Azure/AWS for apps.

Simple: millions of people using the chain for txs and using dApps that require consuming minuscule amounts of ETH, but together are causing lots of fundamental on-chain demand for ETH and Ethereum.

I used to think man how is this guy staying optimistic and calm amongst the trauma that is ETH price movement lol
We've been through some shit
