Ethereum (ETH) Price

Trend Research suffered a $747M loss after aggressively unwinding its ETH position amid a 30% weekly price crash to ~$1,748, triggering forced deleveraging and margin call avoidance. It sold over 411K ETH since February, repaid $526M debt, and intensified dumping in the last 12 hours — contributing to $2.5B in broader crypto liquidations and intensifying ETH’s bearish momentum below $2,300.

Vitalik Buterin clarifies that Ethereum's layer two networks have evolved beyond their original design, no longer fitting the initial vision due to changing network conditions and scalability demands.

Ethereum's largest wallets are accumulating ETH while mid-tier holders reduce balances, increasing supply concentration. The MVRV ratio remains at ~0.96—above the 0.80 historical bottom threshold—indicating the market has not yet reached valuation stress levels associated with prior capitulation events, despite recent price weakness.

Ether's sharp drop below $2,000 triggered the collapse of a leveraged long position, causing an estimated $686 million loss for the trading firm.

Ethereum faces mounting selling pressure as large holders actively trade, raising concerns about its short-term price resilience.

ENS is abandoning its custom NameChain L2 to launch ENSv2 directly on Ethereum L1, citing improved scalability, lower fees, and superior security/decentralization. Despite halting NameChain, ENSv2 retains strong L2 interoperability, cross-chain support across 60+ chains, and alpha releases of new apps. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin funded Shielded Labs’ Crosslink — a Zcash upgrade enhancing settlement security — reflecting a strategic shift toward privacy, resilience, and worst-case robustness in blockchain design.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov sold $3.53M worth of ETH to acquire 30,727 AAVE tokens—a strategic move signaling strong confidence in Aave’s governance and long-term value.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has made a strategic donation to Shielded Labs to accelerate Zcash’s Crosslink upgrade — a parallel finality layer built atop its Proof-of-Work consensus. Designed to drastically reduce chain reorganizations and strengthen transaction settlement guarantees, Crosslink reflects a growing industry shift toward hybrid consensus models. The initiative underscores cross-ecosystem collaboration and enhances Zcash’s viability as a privacy-preserving, institutionally viable blockchain.
