Four wallets now hold 114,160 ETH in leveraged longs, with a 3.6% drawdown on a position that previously banked $59M — a balance-sheet read on conviction versus capitulation.
Two wallets, both potentially linked to Gammafund, moved nearly $24M of $ETH onto the exchange — the kind of flow that turns a quiet tape into a slip-and-slide.
A wallet that turned 11,005 ETH into $30.5M in a decade is back accumulating after the latest leg down — 1,951 ETH snapped at ~$2,182, with $4.26M deployed and more bids likely.
The week's project rundown spans a user-safety upgrade on Ethereum, a new Solana venue, a quiet LayerZero exodus, and Dune's 25% head-count cut — four moving pieces, no single narrative.
The $197.6M top-up landed from Kraken and FalconX into four fresh wallets, the latest leg in a treasury build-out that has made Bitmine one of the more aggressive ETH accumulators in public markets.
Buterin's 50.25 ETH deposit — modest in dollar terms — is the first public validation of an OFAC-aware privacy protocol since Tornado Cash was sanctioned, and the test case for whether…
The $146.7M net loss narrowed sequentially from $185.3M, but the revenue line tells the harder story: the staking-yield compression that defined Q1 is now hitting the top line.
The bank's analysts frame the gap as a network-activity problem, not a flow problem — without a revival in DeFi and real-world use cases, the underperformance is unlikely to reverse.
Joseph Chalom argues Ethereum treasury books are staking-led and structurally simpler than Strategy's debt-financed BTC accumulation — and that tokenization will deepen that divergence.

The holder paid roughly $245 in the 2014 crowdsale and never touched the bag — the transfer is the first on-chain movement, not a sale, but the return on record is hard to ignore.
Ethereum L2 fees have dropped below one cent and Optimism and Arbitrum hit the Stage 1 security milestone, finally making on-chain payments economically viable for the first time.
Near-parity resets the competition for onchain volume: both chains are positioned to absorb the next rotation, and the L1 race now runs on market share rather than narrative.
Galaxy's launch of an onchain yield fund with SharpLink landed the same week the treasury posted the loss — a partnership that lets the public-company ETH stack work harder, not a bailout.
The address has absorbed 21,800 ETH at an average of $2,155 — a steady, multi-week accumulation pattern rather than a one-off splash.
The wallet now holds 127,716 ETH ($292M) — and the buy cadence is what makes it notable: repeated USDC-funded spot adds at scale, not a single opportunistic entry.
A previously dormant wallet — identified by the address prefix 0xB476 — re-entered the market roughly seven hours ago…
The Ethereum Foundation has rolled out Clear Signing, an open standard designed to replace blind signing across the…
The cross-wallet standard brings Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, WalletConnect, and Fireblocks onto one human-readable transaction format — the kind of infrastructure-layer move that compounds quietly.
After billions lost to phishing and wallet drains, the Foundation pairs ERC-7730 with a public registry so wallets can show users plain-English prompts before they hit approve.
