- Ethereum: staking atinge máxima histórica -

A rede Ethereum tem demonstrado uma robustez notável, evidenciada pelo volume de $ETH em staking que alcançou um novo recorde. Quase 30% da oferta circulante da criptomoeda está atualmente bloqueada, um indicativo da confiança dos investidores na valorização e na estabilidade. Este fenômeno ocorre em um momento de recuperação do ativo que superou a marca de US$ 2.700, impulsionado por um interesse crescente de grandes instituições financeiras.
PS: nas últimas 24 horas, o ativo sofreu uma queda acentuada de mais de 9%, afundando-se abaixo dos 2.500 dólares.

Este marco significativo no staking de ocorre em meio à crescente expectativa pela aprovação de fundos negociados em bolsa (ETFs) que incluam a funcionalidade de staking pela Comissão de Valores Mobiliários dos EUA (SEC). Analistas de mercado sugerem que esses ETFs podem ser lançados em breve.

Com isso a quantidade de $ETH em staking cresceu expressivos 77% nos últimos dois anos. No entanto, o desempenho do preço do ativo foi mais modesto, com uma valorização de cerca de 50% no mesmo período, ainda distante de uma nova máxima histórica.

A faixa de US$ 2.700 tem funcionado como uma resistência importante no último mês, e rompê-la será crucial para a continuidade do movimento de alta.
No entanto o preço segue em tendência descendente e aproxima-se de um suporte técnico fundamental em 2.679 USD. Se este nível for quebrado, os próximos alvos em baixa situam-se nos 2.479 USD e até nos 2.326 USD, caso o momento de venda se intensifique.

- Enriching with Bitcoin: golden myth or risky reality? -

Here lies the question. A fortune in crypto is worth the price of permanent insecurity? Many admit it somewhat quietly: they are afraid. The danger is no longer virtual. It is tangible, real, brutal!
Owning crypto is carrying an invisible burden. Each poorly guarded password becomes a ticking time bomb. But the appeal remains enormous. Quick gains, promise of independence, desire to break away from the traditional banking system.

Crypto is not the enemy. It is human greed that tarnishes its image. In response, some reinforce security: armored doors, cameras, biometric safes. But Didi Taihuttu went further.
He dispersed his $BTC across four continents. Cold wallets, hidden like treasures. Far, far away from eyes and hands. A radical choice born from paranoia? But, a glacial lucidity.

"I prefer to live in a decentralized world where I have the responsibility to protect my capital" says Didi Taihuttu.

Today, owning $BTC or Ether is somewhat like living with a target on your back. Rich virtual wallets trigger very real nightmares. Kidnappings, imprisonments, violence: the digital treasure hunt is on. And while some keep their passwords in a safe, others bury them at the end of the world. Hoping that justice will catch the predators… if they really do so one day.

The paradox is there. The more one earns, the more one trembles.

The country of Morocco has just arrested the man suspected of being the mastermind behind crypto-related kidnappings in France. An operation that brings some comfort… but is it really enough? As long as digital money circulates uncontrolled, the vultures will continue to hover.

- Circle (CRCL), emissora da stablecoin USDC, estreia em Nova York com ações em disparada de 230% -

Circle, emissora da stablecoin $USDC passaram a ser negociadas nesta quinta-feira (5) na Bolsa de Valores de Nova York (NYSE). Logo no primeiro dia, as ações CRCL registraram um salto de mais de 230% em relação ao preço de abertura. 
Os papéis, cotados a US$ 31, avançaram para US$ 103,75 no melhor momento do pregão, mas o movimento perdeu força devido às interrupções por volatilidade nos negócios.

Além disso, a oferta deve estimular outras empresas a lançarem ações na bolsa, na opinião de analistas ouvidos pela Reuters.
Fundada em 2013 por Jeremy Allaire e Sean Neville, a Circle emite o $USDC uma criptomoeda que tem paridade com o dólar norte-americano e a segunda maior stablecoin do mundo em valor de mercado, depois da Tether.

- Bitcoin retreats and stays below the $104,000 level -

Bitcoin has depreciated this Thursday (5), despite some positive news for the sector – such as the IPO of stablecoin issuer Circle, the launch of a bitcoin index fund by Donald Trump's company, and JPMorgan's preparations to accept crypto-linked assets as collateral.

Around 3:34 PM (Brasília time), Bitcoin was down 1.89%, trading at $103,202.20, while Ethereum fell 2.13%, priced at $2,580.24, according to data from Binance.

One positive news for the sector – but insufficient to drive crypto asset prices (perhaps) – was the filing for the launch of an index fund (ETF, in English) with direct exposure to Bitcoin by Trump Media and Technology, the media company of the US president.

Analysts attribute the recent declines in cryptocurrencies to profit-taking. Bitcoin reached an all-time high of nearly $112,000 in May. Since then, it has been slowly falling but remains above the psychologically important level of $100,000.

For today, Friday (6), it is expected that the official US jobs report will show a slowdown in job creation, note the analysts at Bitfinex. The worsening conditions in the labor market could lead the Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut interest rates sooner, which is usually a positive sign for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

Now that I've seen this airdrop $SOPH
Is anyone taking a chance on it?
I'm still traumatized by $HUMA

I redeemed a coupon in the Rewards Hub (10 $USDC ) and they do not appear in my spot wallet. Can someone help me find them?

- How many Ethereum are there today? -

Imagine investing in a cryptocurrency without knowing exactly how much exists or how its supply can impact its value in the future. 
Unlike Bitcoin, Ether $ETH follows a model with no maximum issuance limit, which raises questions: does this make the asset less valuable? Or could it be a strategic opportunity for investors?

If you're starting to explore the world of cryptocurrencies, understanding the supply of ETH is crucial. This information can make all the difference in your buying decision, directly influencing the potential appreciation of the asset in the coming years.

Currently, there are approximately 120.7 million of $ETH in circulation, and this number is constantly changing due to its issuance and token burning model (permanent removal of cryptocurrencies from circulation).

The amount of Ethereum available directly impacts its appreciation and utility within the network. With the transition to Proof of Stake, the issuance rate has been reduced, making ETH potentially scarcer over the years. 
This factor can influence its future appreciation and its position as one of the leading assets in this market.

- Summary -

•The currency has no maximum issuance cap
•The protocol establishes that no more than 18 million ETH can be issued per year.
•Functional and secure network
•All-time high: US$ 4,800

- XRP: Analyst Insists It's Not Too Late to Enter -

XRP has maintained the $2 level, but there are signs that the momentum is increasing. A crypto analyst named “J4b1” stated that buying 27,514,229,299 at $2.20 is still not too late. He believes it could be the perfect moment before dramatic changes. His claims are based on the historical price action, Ripple's current strategy, and what institutions might do next.

The price stability of XRP is maintained by its monthly activity. The dominance over the supply of 27,514,229,299 is an important aspect of J4b1's argument. Every month, the company releases 1 billion XRP from an escrow and sells only a fraction. The rest is placed back in the escrow. In the analyst's view, this practice prevents Ripple from experiencing sharp price fluctuations.

Institutional demand could change everything. J4b1 mentioned several factors that could drive XRP. He cited the potential regulatory clarity from a new U.S. administration that could be more friendly to cryptocurrencies. He also spoke about the possibility of an XRP ETF and the growth of tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger. J4b1 believes that if institutions start accumulating in large quantities, Ripple's current approach may not be enough to contain the price. If demand exceeds the supply that Ripple has, the price could surge.

The history of XRP offers clues. The journey begins in 2012 when it was worth less than a cent. It gained momentum over the years as Ripple sold it to banks as a means of making cross-border payments faster and cheaper. This momentum drove XRP to a peak of $3.80 during the 2017 high. But everything changed when regulators intervened. In 2015, Ripple was fined by FinCEN. In 2020, the SEC lawsuit slowed XRP adoption and kept the price in check. However, Ripple continued to expand, acquiring companies like Metaco and obtaining licenses worldwide.

- Binance reserve data reveals that holdings in some cryptos exceed customer assets -

Binance published its latest proof of reserves data, confirming that the exchange continues to hold more digital assets than its customers in a majority of the supported tokens.

The report, released on May 8, covers 37 crypto assets and highlights that Binance currently controls 616,886.378 Bitcoin, compared to customer net assets of 604,886.378 BTC.
This represents a coverage ratio of 102.06%, or a surplus of about 12,000 BTC.

The proof of reserves data aims to reassure users that their deposits are fully backed on the blockchain and can be withdrawn at any time.

The reserves of $USDC are also well-backed.
Binance holds over 8.6 billion USDCoin, while customer assets total 5.6 billion. This amounts to a coverage ratio of 152.19%, or a surplus of reserves of about 3 billion of $USDC .

The highest ratio signals a broad liquidity reserve for redemptions in stablecoins.

- Cryptocurrency wallets that bought the meme coin $TRUMP suffered losses with the investment -

About 764 thousand cryptocurrency wallets that bought the meme coin $TRUMP , associated with Donald Trump, suffered losses with the investment, according to recent data from the blockchain analysis company Chainalysis. Most of the wallets that reported losses contained smaller amounts of the token.

Chainalysis also stated that, although about two million wallets bought the token, only 58 of them made more than $10 million each, totaling approximately $1.1 billion in gains.
The token, which gained popularity after being associated with the start of President Trump's second term, experienced sharp price fluctuations and highly uneven returns for investors.

- Awaiting the decision on interest rates from the US central bank, Bitcoin tests 95 thousand dollars -

The $BTC operates slightly higher this Tuesday (6), testing US$ 95 thousand, after a session in which it remained weak, reflecting the caution of investors ahead of the monetary policy decision from the Federal Reserve (Fed, the US central bank), scheduled for Wednesday.

Around 4:15 PM (Brazilian time), bitcoin was up 0.26%, quoted at US$ 95,078.43, while ethereum was down 2.15%, at US$ 1,786.54, according to data from Binance.

For analyst Alex Kuptsikevich from FxPro, if the Fed opts to cut interest rates or signal a faster or more aggressive easing cycle than expected, this could boost cryptocurrency prices. For now, however, traders are pricing in a 96% probability of maintaining interest rates at this meeting, according to the tool.

The sideways behavior of the $BTC follows the tone of the American stock markets, which entered a wait-and-see mode after a strong surge in the second half of April.

“This strategic pause, after overbought levels, can be healthy and pave the way for new gains”

Final test before the Ethereum network's Pectra is launched today

#EthereumFuture

Pectra aims to allow users to pay gas fees with multiple tokens, including stablecoins like USDC.
It will also enable third-party fee sponsorship, allowing an entity to pay gas fees on behalf of the user — something that has become extremely important in second-layer scaling networks.
Additionally, Ethereum validators will have a significantly higher capacity for how many tokens they can stake — from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH.
The increase will be coupled with more flexibility regarding when and how the staked Ethereum can be withdrawn.

Pectra will also lay the groundwork for Social Recovery, allowing users to rely on trusted contacts to help them regain access to a wallet from which they forgot or lost the key.
With this, many believe that Pectra will be the biggest update to Ethereum since The Merge and one of the largest in its history.

"Analyst predicts rise of altcoins as Bitcoin approaches $95,000"

Excitement about the altcoin season is growing, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum rallying today.
The recent surge of BTC to $94,000 after a quick 10% rise in just two days renewed enthusiasm. The momentum has generated optimism among investors, with one analyst suggesting that this could trigger a perfect storm, setting the stage for a strong rally in altcoins.

As the $ETH approaches the $1,900 mark after a strong rise in just 48 hours, speculation about an upcoming altcoin season is increasing. The surge has led many investors to believe that the cryptocurrency market may be decoupling from traditional stocks, especially amid escalating tariff tensions under Trump's policies.

In summary: the altcoin rally may still be in its early stages. The recent rise appears to be driven by Bitcoin's leadership, signaling the start of a potential broader uptrend. Investors who have already positioned themselves in $ETH or those who choose to do so now may achieve significant gains if they remain patient.

"Solana in the Heights?"

Solana is at a critical point, currently trading at a crucial price level that could determine its short-term direction.
After weeks of selling pressure and disappointing price action, the bulls are trying to regain control, but success depends on reclaiming higher resistance zones.
Without a decisive move upwards, the price action of $SOL may continue to follow the broader downtrend that has defined the past months. Meanwhile, macroeconomic tensions continue to escalate with trade conflicts between the United States and China intensifying, with both nations imposing aggressive tariffs.
This has created a high-risk environment in global financial markets, and altcoins like Solana are particularly vulnerable. With uncertainty increasing and investor sentiment becoming cautious, digital assets are under growing pressure. However, there is a glimmer of technical optimism. Cryptocurrency analysts share insights suggesting that Solana has turned bullish on the 8-hour chart. According to this view, if SOL can break above the key resistance, it could confirm a trend reversal and trigger a potential recovery rally. Until then, traders are closely watching as $SOL navigates a critical battleground of support and resistance amid a volatile macro backdrop.

" Bitcoin has never been so strong!"

April was indeed bloody, liquidating, and tense.
In figure 2, we can see in the chart that the $BTC fits perfectly with the bottom of M2 (which occurred on the 6th of this month). On that day, Bitcoin was at $74k - We cannot call it a coincidence since the movement of the crypto is exactly the same as M2 (economic indicator).
So, starting in May (according to the chart), we might see a possible explosion of the $BTC pushing the altcoins afterwards. It's almost here! 🙏

#Bloomberg - Market projects 5 interest rate cuts in the US - "Trump's pressure on the American Central Bank is working"

This, besides injecting money into the market, reduces the US debt expense. With tariffs in other countries, the US forces others to lower their tariffs, bringing in more income and consequently valuing the market.

Stay calm at this time.

#BTCBelow80K
"In the last 24 hours, 1.43 billion people liquidated"
A few posts ago, I commented on the Death Cross, and it is at this moment that we find ourselves now (Fig 2 - white dot)
Waves of liquidation, fear, and uncertainty have driven us to lower levels.
The crossing of the "death cross" usually also marks market bottoms so that we can then build a bullish structure (who knows 🙏)
Many small investors sold their positions in panic. But this is a terrible idea.
In the weekly chart, $BTC continues to hold, so have confidence!
"We cannot predict the market, but we can prepare ourselves"

This news is for those who believe that $ETH is dying.
I am accumulating 🙏

Good evening Binance people

-Analyzing Bitcoin-

$BTC loves the descending wedges of bullishness
In (fig 1) the YELLOW color (2022) wedge followed by a trap to then rise. The GREEN color (2023) the same thing, trap and then a bullish explosion.
In 2024, BLUE color we had the same performance and now in 2025, WHITE color - we are in the trap folks and the explosion will come!

In (fig 2) we have the comparison between 2021 and 2025
See how $BTC had moments of consolidation and then explosion. Then a lateral movement with the minimum above the previous period (even in decline) to then explode.

We must not forget that this is a variable income, this is not an investment recommendation and I do not have a crystal ball. But the charts are accurate. I believe in Bitcoin! and it’s not April Fools’ Day.
There is a continuation of the highs!

Big hug

#BSCProjectSpotlight
Good evening everyone - last day of March and this will be a decisive week for variable assets. Marked by the decision on whether to buy the 25% tariff for several countries - a trade war. China, Japan, and South Korea have already stated that they will respond together to the US tariffs.
These uncertainties make investors afraid to leave their money in risky assets. It is the highest index of all time. That is why assets like the $BTC
Know that Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have reversed!
Microstrategy acquired another 22 thousand Bitcoins - almost 2 billion
and MetaPlanet issued another 2 billion in bonds at 0% to be able to buy more Bitcoin
So we can see that although the price is not meeting expectations, everything is still in full swing!
Hope remains in the medium/long term - Stay calm!
