ROLLUP: Bitcoin All-Time-High, Is ETH Next?
Bankless
Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Crypto and DeFi Innovations
This chapter delves into the shifting dynamics of predictive markets within the cryptocurrency sector, featuring updates like Phantom Wallet's new leverage options and a legal win for the U.S. Treasury. It also includes insights from Commissioner Hester Peirce on tokenized stocks, highlighting the rapid advancements in digital assets and DeFi.
This week, Ryan and David celebrate Bitcoin's new all-time highs as Ethereum sentiment explodes. ETH treasury firms are racing to stockpile billions, Fidelity is framing ETH as a store-of-value, and mainstream media is finally paying attention. So why isn't the price moving faster?
They unpack the $8.6 billion Bitcoin whale awakening, Pump's $4 billion ICO, and crypto's "what color is the dress" moment with Zelensky's suit. Plus, Hyperliquid beats Solana at its own game, Robinhood pushes tokenized stocks, and prediction markets face a credibility crisis.
Also, is ETH gearing up for a vertical breakout or just stuck in a bullish echo chamber?
