Aggressive Accumulation Amid Weak Sentiment BitMine has ramped up its Ethereum buying spree, snapping up more than $140 million worth of ETH in just two weeks. The firm, chaired by Tom Lee, continues to build what it describes as an Ethereum-heavy treasury strategy.

Historic Slump to Open the Year Bitcoin and Ethereum are off to their worst start of the year in more than a decade. Since January 1, Bitcoin has dropped roughly 24%, while Ethereum has fallen about 34%, marking the weakest year-to-date performance since public price tracking began in the early 2010s.

Exchange Inflows Drop From Early-Month Spike Bitcoin is showing signs that acute sell pressure may be cooling after a dramatic early-month surge in exchange deposits. On February 6, inflows reportedly reached roughly 60,000 BTC per day as prices slid toward $60,000. Recent data from CryptoQuant indicates that daily deposits have since moderated to around 23,000…

Ethereum Slumps but Long-Term Bulls Stay Active Ethereum has endured a steep correction, falling roughly 60% from its 2025 peak near $4,946. The pullback has erased billions in market value and dampened investor enthusiasm across the broader digital asset space. Despite the decline, institutional buyers have not fully retreated. The divergence between falling prices and…
$70,000 Turns Into a Rejection Zone Bitcoin has now attempted to reclaim the $70,000 level three separate times since early February, and each attempt has been decisively rejected. What initially appeared to be healthy consolidation above $65,000 has evolved into a clear structural ceiling. The repeated failure has altered short-term market psychology.
