alright so eth pulled back 4% after briefly touching $3940 yesterday, but before anyone panics, the derivatives data is telling a completely different story. this pullback looks more like a healthy reset than any kind of momentum killer. here's what caught my attention: eth futures premium is sitting at 8% - the highest we've seen in almost five months. think about that for a second. price is up 55% in three weeks and yet traders are still willing to pay premium for leverage. that tells me there's still serious appetite for more upside. the options data backs this up too. the 30-day delta skew is sitting right at neutral levels, which means the smart money isn't getting defensive even after we hit 7-month highs. when whales and market makers aren't hedging for downside, that's usually a pretty bullish signal. but here's the real kicker - the institutional flow is absolutely insane. eth etfs pulled in $4.23 billion between july 11-25, bringing total aum to $17.24 billion. that's not retail money, that's serious institutional capital flowing in. corporate adoption is accelerating too. over 40 companies are holding at least 1,000 eth in their treasuries now. bitmine, sharplink gaming, and the ether machine are sitting on $8.84 billion worth combined. compare that to btc where only 8 companies (excluding saylor and miners) hold over $1 billion - eth is catching up fast. what really gets me excited is that eth derivatives aren't showing any signs of froth or defensive positioning. the futures premium suggests traders still have room to add leverage if we break $4k with conviction. and with institutional demand this strong, a move to $5k isn't some moonboy fantasy - it's actually looking realistic. the macro stuff with china trade negotiations could create some short-term noise, but the underlying eth story is getting stronger by the day. we're seeing real institutional adoption, corporate treasury allocation, and derivative positioning that supports much higher prices. honestly feels like we're just getting warmed up. once eth finally breaks through $4k and holds it, that $5k target could come faster than most people expect. the infrastructure for a proper rally is already in place. anyone else seeing this setup or am i getting too hyped about the derivative signals? submitted by /u/hodorrny [link] [comments]

We’ve been seeing recent news with coins/tokens such as even Monero (XMR) being vulnerable to a 51% attack. A large XMR mining group/pool Qubic shared with the world that they will attempt a takeover of the Monero network by using the 51% attack. They would have EASILY succeeded in the attack, if they did not announce publicly that they were doing the 51% attack, the community got together and was able to stop the 51% attack. https://preview.redd.it/1dbqt980luff1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=618441542155da9e419aeee4c85794f8491cc019 https://preview.redd.it/aj7ul6o0luff1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=fa770fd8c0b0550ebe1b7e9aac5182ae8c7db514 Thankfully, Ethereum is much less vulnerable to a 51% attack with recent upgrades, but how and why? First of all, what is a 51% attack exactly? 51% attack can happen when one group or entity has control of greater than 50% of the validating power or mining power of the network, making that group or entity the central authority. Is it really that bad to have a centralized group with greater than 50% of the validating or mining power? Yes! 1. With at least 51% of the validating or mining power, the entity can “double-spend” coins or tokens and this is done by reversing transactions that the group has made. 2. They have the power of preventing new transactions from being confirmed or validated which censors users. Essentially they can pick and choose, that is a BIG NO NO (ahhh I’ve been doing too much baby talk lately IRL haha) 3. The group can have a monopoly on the mining rewards or stop others from validating the block! That does not sound good because IT ISN’T! 4. The entity can rewrite the blockchain history by making chains that are longer than the honest participants! WOW, that is a HUGE red flag! Proof of Work, why is it vulnerable to 51% attack? Proof of Work relies on the miners that are competing to solve the puzzle or equation using their computational power which has inherent weaknesses. 1. The greater the mining power one has, the more influence you have on the network, making the network dependent on hash rate. 2. Pooled mining teams or mining farms are larger, hence more control to the bigger and wealthier groups. 3. When chains are smaller with low volume of network participants, a group can overpower the network for cheap! (Recommend reading up on Bitcoin Gold, they have had MULTIPLE 51% attacks…) 4. Slashing is not available, even when a miner or group is found to have malicious behavior. The only punishment they get is possibly losing trust… Just imagine, if someone has more than 50% of the hash rate on the network, they can win every coin toss game because they can bring their own coin that is biased for them to win! THAT’S CHEATING! How is Proof of Stake less vulnerable to 51% attack? Thankfully Ethereum has moved on from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake with recent upgrades! Instead of being dependent on hardware for mining, they selected validators determined from the quantity of the coin or token they are staking. 1. In Proof of Stake, the user or group needs to control at least 51% of the staked coin or token, which can be quite expensive such as BILLIONS OF DOLLARS for most high market cap coins or tokens. This is extremely difficult to achieve compared to just controlling at least 51% of the validating or mining power! 2. Proof of Stake actually has slashing penalties for malicious behavior by burning their stake! In Proof of Work, they only lose trust, what is HUGE improvement! 3. Validators are selected in random to prevent power from being concentrated or centralized and takes away the predictability factor! 4. Socially, users can coordinate to fork away from malicious users and further penalize them! Users WANT attackers to try because they can burn away their stake and fortune hehe Share your thoughts on the 51% attack below! submitted by /u/bzzking [link] [comments]

Ok guys so some of you may be aware of what CBDC is, i’ve been deep diving into it very recently especially considering the fact that it is rolling out in europe from October this year. If you don’t know what CBDC is it stands for Central bank digital currency, basically digital money. They’ve branded this as an “alternative way to pay” but that’s for now. In reality since this money is programmable many people are anticipating in the future that the currency will become more like tokens where you have to spend it before it expires, only can be spent on certain products (like the new carbon tax coming but that’s a separate topic) ultimately keeping your average person trapped within there system. Fiat as the way we know it seems to be changing forever before our very eyes and maybe it’s just me but my reality on ETH and BTC is no longer going to be “eth to 4k” or eth to any fiat amount for that matter but much rather actually view it as it’s own independent currency and be able to use it for its intended purpose. If the “conspiracy theorists” are right and money in the future will have expiry dates and the idea of freedom to spend how you like it’s gone, it may get to a point where government control could restrict you from even buying crypto with their token essentially leaving us and our bags operating out of their system. Maybe i dove in too deep and put the tin foil hat on but i really think we aren’t prepared for what is to come. To me we are very likely entering a stage where we are going to be entering parallel economies where we will be paying each other in eth and btc outside of the system, our only issue is, what will we peg the value of said crypto to instead of fiat? submitted by /u/SPeeD_puncH [link] [comments]

so i've been watching eth dance around this $4k level since february and honestly, this time feels different. we've seen it get rejected three times already, but the stars are actually aligning now. the numbers don't lie - eth etfs just pulled in a ridiculous $727 million in a single day, and they've been on a 16-day inflow streak. that's not retail fomo, that's serious institutional money coming in. blackrock alone is sitting on $10.69 billion worth of eth and they're not slowing down. what really caught my attention is how network activity has exploded. daily transactions jumped 73% to 1.62 million, and we're seeing 670k daily active addresses - that's a 12-month high. the defi tvl is back at $86 billion, which we haven't seen since 2022. but here's what makes me think we're about to break through: eth supply on exchanges dropped to 15.6 million, the lowest since before the 2017 rally. when supply gets squeezed like this while demand is cranking up, things get spicy fast. the technicals are screaming too. just broke out of a bull flag pattern with a target of $5k. that's a 30% move from here if it plays out. companies are loading up their treasuries with eth left and right. bitmine just bought $2 billion worth in 16 days and became the biggest corporate holder. even galaxy's ceo is calling $4k and saying eth will outperform btc over the next six months. with all these potential gains stacking up, definitely worth getting your tax situation sorted early, tools like awaken.tax are clutch for tracking everything when these moves happen fast. i know we've been burned before, but this feels like the real deal. the combination of institutional flow, corporate adoption, network growth, and supply squeeze is creating the perfect storm. what do you guys think, are we finally going to see eth blast past $4k or is this just another fakeout? submitted by /u/hodorrny [link] [comments]

Ethereum investment products have seen a record-breaking $7.79 billion in year-to-date inflows, surpassing the total for the full year 2024. This is part of a 15-week streak of net inflows, with $1.9 billion in subscriptions last week. Ethereum dominated the market, pulling in $1.59 billion, while bitcoin-linked products saw $175 million in outflows. Other altcoins, such as Solana and XRP, also saw significant inflows, but the overall trend suggests investors are positioning tactically ahead of potential ETF catalysts rather than chasing a broad rally. submitted by /u/CriticalCobraz [link] [comments]

According to Ethereum community member Adriano Feria on Twitter, Monero is facing a 51% profitability attack. The Qubic mining pool is run by IOTA co-founder Sergey Ivancheglo and it offers miners better rewards to grab majority control of Monero's hashrate. It is not a hack it did not even need one, it is a buyout costing $7,000-$10,000 a day. The problem is this exposes a flaw in proof-of-work networks. This includes of course.. Bitcoin, Bitcoin is at risk too. Off-chain adoption grows and halving cuts issuance will weaken its security. So what will miners do?? Miners will pivot to Ethereum, look at BTCDigital's shift for example. Most people argue Bitcoin is the safest option, but this Monero case proves otherwise. Ethereum is starting to stand out. Since it switched to proof-of-stake our network has built a solid defense. Let's look at this scenario: a 51% attack needs 66% of staked ETH, that would trigger slashing penalties over $80 billion.. so attackers lose and they lose a lot. Ethereum stays secure. Do you want your assets safe for the long-term?? Then Ethereum is the answer. Bitcoin and Monero struggle with economic attacks, Ethereum's design beats that. There are no miner incentives to exploit. Again if you invest long-term, Ethereum gives you the security you need. This is not copium or hype, it is facts. Hold ETH, stay on Ethereum.

New confirmation via CoinTelegraph that SharpLink Gaming has added another 77,210 ETH to its treasury, worth $295 million. That brings their total ETH holdings to 438,017 ETH, currently valued at $1.69 billion. This isn’t just another treasury play. This is a full-scale Ethereum accumulation strategy being executed in real time. Everyone keeps yelling about dilution, but here’s the reality, every single dollar raised through the ATM is being recycled straight back into ETH. Not salaries. Not marketing fluff. Not debt. Just straight Ethereum. If you’re bearish on that, you’re missing the entire point. This is the first public company besides MicroStrategy to go all in on a crypto treasury pivot and SharpLink is doing it faster, more aggressively, and with a clearer ETH-native infrastructure play. While people are still arguing about the share count or short-term price swings, this team just added nearly $300 million worth of ETH over the weekend. You think they’re doing that for fun? The market hasn’t priced this in yet. Not even close. People are still stuck in their old valuation frameworks while a brand new digital asset-backed equity model is unfolding in front of us. For anyone who’s stayed patient through the volatility and noise through the weekend, this is your moment. You didn’t miss the move. We are still in the early innings. Ethereum isn’t even at all-time highs yet, and SBET is stacking more ETH per share every week. Watch what happens when ETH breaks out and the institutions start paying attention. This isn’t a gambling stock anymore. This is becoming an ETH-concentrated financial asset. Don’t let the shorts, the bots, or the uninformed talk you out of generational upside. This is exactly how asymmetric trades begin. ✋ submitted by /u/JunnyInsight [link] [comments]
