Description:This week, we dissect a shifting market landscape: perp funding rates remain moderate, but Ethereum's basis is notably trading above Bitcoin's, fueled by recent momentum and significant ETH ETF inflows, which starkly contrast with current BTC ETF outflows.Among the big movers, we're seeing gains in MKR, UNI, and CRO, while the COIN50 Index has dipped 4% over the past week. We also delve into the technical picture for major assets, commenting on key support and resistance levels. Encouragingly, corporate BTC flows remain strong.On the macro and regulatory front in the US, the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) has recently passed the House. We are also closely watching a significant week for jobs data; April's JOLTS report is in, and upcoming Non-Farm Payrolls and initial jobless claims will provide a comprehensive overview of the current labor market.Industry news is headlined by the Ethereum Foundation's major overhaul of its R&D division. Now in "wartime mode," the focus is sharply on scaling L1s and L2s, alongside significant improvements to user and developer experience (UX/DX). Meanwhile, corporate crypto accumulation continues unabated.Our onchain deep dive explores the progress of Ethereum's Pectra Upgrade, including developments around EIP-7251 consolidations and a noticeably growing staking queue. For Solana, Anza has announced the Alpenglow consensus protocol. In the DeFi space, we're seeing continued growth from Hyperliquid in the perpetuals market and a significant increase in Gearbox lending TVL. We'll also discuss Loudio's innovative "Initial Attention Offering" model, and note that Coinbase Wallet's Mini Apps are now available in limited beta.Topics Covered:Market Dynamics:Perp funding rates & ETH/BTC basis.ETH ETF inflows vs. BTC ETF outflows.Big Movers (MKR, UNI, CRO) & COIN50 Index performance.Commentary on Technicals (including key support/resistance).Corporate BTC flows.Macro & Regulatory:"One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB) House passage.Key Jobs Data: JOLTS, upcoming Non-Farm Payrolls & initial jobless claims.Industry & Corporate News:Ethereum Foundation's R&D "wartime mode" (L1/L2 scaling, UX/DX focus).Ongoing corporate crypto accumulation.Onchain Insights:Ethereum: Pectra Upgrade progress (EIP-7251, staking queue).Solana: Anza's Alpenglow consensus protocol announcement.DeFi Trends: Hyperliquid perp market growth, Gearbox lending TVL increase.New Models: Loudio's "Initial Attention Offering."Coinbase News:Wallet Tech: Coinbase Wallet Mini Apps in limited betaCoinbase ResearchHost:Ben Floyd, Head of Execution ServicesSpeakers:David Duong, Head of Institutional ResearchBen Rodriguez, Senior Protocol SpecialistGregory Sutton, Senior CES Sales Trader

Despite the range-bound movement, activity in the Ethereum derivatives market has spiked considerably, with short sellers increasing their positions. The number of short positions on ETH has surged to a historic high. This rise shows that many traders are bearish and anticipating that Ethereum could plunge further. However, this scenario could flip bullish if a sudden surge in ETH price hits a liquidation level that forces short sellers to close their positions, leading to a short squeeze.~This episode is sponsored by iTrust Capital~iTrustCapital | Get $100 Funding Reward + No Monthly Fees when you sign up using our custom link! ➜ https://bit.ly/iTrustPaul00:00 Intro00:16 Sponsor: iTrust Capital00:46 Trump Tariffs01:27 Barclay's Head Strategist: Trump walking a fine line between growth & tariffs03:00 Government shut down this year?03:20 Saylor buys more03:45 What is happening with Ethereum?04:52 ETH Liquidation Trap?06:30 ETH ETF chart07:54 Ethereum gas prices drops08:32 Staked ETH + Lido V309:20 February10:04 Solana users moving to AVAX?10:55 Hearing: Golden Age of Digital Assets11:33 Ethereum stablecoin market cap rising12:35 Outro#Ethereum #bitcoin #Crypto~Epic Ethereum Short-Squeeze Coming?

New ‘Sode. Alas, as I sit polishing my ninja green Birkin bag buckle, alone after being dumped by a ParaFI partner, I ponder what went wrong in 2024 in Glitter and Crypto. There was the horrifying misunderstanding at Neiman Marcus ETH Denver that resulted in my shoplifting misdemeanor, the disappointing lack of staking in the ETH ETF that left most of my circle lightly slitting their wrists to the soundtrack of Usher Let it Burn, NFTs left completely out of the ERA's tour, Caroline Ellison's refusal to wear anything cute at her trial, .   I am high on AI generated meth with excitement for the 2025 Chinese New Year of the Snake, which can only bring good fortune.  I have so many hopes and dreams for 2025 that I hope my AI avatar bot can pin to my vision board in time for the year new me new meme coin. I digress. My guest is the fabulous Susan Oh. AI Afficiando who was recently beat up in a hotel room by her co-founder (and is OK) and was able to stop at Glitter Ledger Headquarters on her way to press charges before heading back to Bali. Susan has the IQ of Marilyn Monroe. Her story upbringing is fascinating. She and her  family fled South Korea's military dictatorship and then left Iran before the Ayatollah took over; and she family assumed refugee status for 8= months in the UK, before they were sponsored in Canada, where she grew up. She then became a teenage chain smoking punk rocker out at gay discos. Susan then had a career in journalism, media, AI and crypto all mixed together in a big clay pot thrown into a  Kiln of glitter and madness before developing her baby Muckr AI, a company that uses AI to flag disinformation. Unfortunately, the funding has had some interesting bumps. Listen on. Happy New Year. #GlitterLedger.

The SEC won't pursue enforcement against Ethereum 2.0, but why? How much of a role did politics play? And where does that leave staking and court cases involving companies such as Consensys and Coinbase? Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.Last week, Consensys revealed that the SEC had concluded an investigation into Ethereum 2.0, referring to when Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to a proof-of-stake one.In this episode, Laura Brookover, senior counsel & head of litigation and investigations at Consensys, and Sam Enzer, partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, explore the implications of this decision on Ether's status as a commodity versus a security, and why the SEC dropped the pursuit, including whether the shifting political winds played a role. For instance, how much of the decision was influenced by the ETH ETF approvals, Democrats crossing party lines to vote for FIT21 and the repeal of SAB 121, and/or SEC crypto enforcement chief David Hirsch's resignation? In this discussion, they also explained why the closure doesn't necessarily mean that staking, or restaking, is safe from the SEC. Plus, what's the impact of this closure on the other big crypto cases, such as Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, and Ripple?

In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts James Seyffart, Alex Kruger, and Joe McCann, along with guest Hal Press, founder of North Rock Digital, dive into the intricate challenges of pitching the ETH spot ETF to traditional finance and the Federal Reserve's anticipated next steps. They discuss why Biden vetoed the repeal of SAB 121, and why that veto lends credence to an alternative theory as to why the SEC approved Ethereum ETFs.  Also, they talk about why the spot ETH ETFs are already turning out to be different from the Bitcoin ETFs, Hong Kong's (and perhaps China's?) crypto ambitions, recent U.S. macroeconomic indicators, and whether or not Roaring Kitty's recent antics with GME stock are illegal—and how he's impacting memecoins.  Show highlights: Why Biden vetoed the repeal of SAB 121 and whether it was priced in The recent political change around crypto and the surprise Gen Z celebrity who could swing the U.S. presidential election The impact of the Trump conviction on the crypto industry Why ETF issuers were caught off guard with the spot ETH ETF approvals Whether Bitcoin ETF buyers will rotate to Ethereum, and when the products will launch  How the ETH ETF will be pitched to TradFi  Why Alex thinks ETH/BTC will go up  How Hong Kong is trying to become the Wall Street of crypto, according to Joe The recent macroeconomic indicators in the U.S. and their implications for crypto The massive glitches in the NYSE that showed Berkshire Hathaway going down 99% Whether what Roaring Kitty is doing with the GME stock is illegal Hosts: James Seyffart, Research Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence Alex Kruger, Founder of Asgard Joe McCann, Founder, CEO, and CIO of Asymmetric Guest: Hal Press, Founder of North Rock Digital Links Politics:  Unchained: President Biden Vetoes SAB121 Repeal Unchained: FIT21 Bill Heads to The Senate: Should We Really Be Excited?
