Revenues in the cryptocurrency market have pulled back sharply recently, but there’s still a profit in the majority of supply with some of the biggest digital assets. Even so, the foundation for these profits is distinctly shaky now. It’s been a long time since any of us have had to contend with the concept of unrealized losses, yet here we are. Starting off the year, the profits we were sitting on with various tokens were way better in terms of percentage than what we’re looking at now. Some of the most well-known cryptocurrencies are in a different market dynamic today, with a greater number of holders now underwater as the overall market tries to find its footing again. As the major coins face heightened volatility, it seems more important than ever to dig into just how these assets have performed in the realm of unrealized gains—and what it might mean for the market tomorrow. Assets Holding Strong in Profit At the upper end of the range, assets such as TRON ($TRX) and Ripple ($XRP) are still enjoying robust profit margins, notwithstanding recent market hurdles. The newest figures show that 84.6% of the supply of TRX is still in profit. That number, however, is down a bit from where it started the year. In January, we noted that 89.7% of TRX was in profit—a number that was obviously on the high side given where it is now. Still, the roughly -5.6 percentage point (pp) drop in profit for TRX has occurred in a fairly unremarkable way, with the asset staying pretty close to $0.06 throughout the year. The same cannot exactly be said for XRP, which has lost a more pronounced -10.4pp drop in profit since January. Compared to other large cryptocurrencies, these assets have mostly succeeded in keeping their gains, yet the downward pressure affecting the wider market is apparent. Most holders of these two tokens are still in the green, but the shrinking profit margins are another sign of the kinds of challenges the broader market is facing and the way it’s affecting investor sentiment. For holders of TRX and XRP, the downturn in profit percentages might suggest a market that is beginning to exhibit some fatigue after very recent vigorous activity. Still, these two cryptocurrencies are relatively strong compared to many others, and investors in them can only hope that stabilization in the overall market allows for some recovery in these digital assets as well. The Steep Declines: ETH and SOL Suffer Significant Losses Conversely, Ethereum ($ETH) and Solana ($SOL) are at the other end of the spectrum, suffering the sharpest contractions of unrealized gains among the principal cryptocurrencies. For instance, the supply of ETH currently enjoying profitable positions has plummeted to a mere 44.9%. That 44.9% represents a dramatic year-to-date decline of 39.9 percentage points, from a much healthier position at the beginning of the year. Solana’s supply is now 31.6% in profit, which also corresponds to a mostly unrealized downturn of 46.8 percentage points over the same timeframe. Despite recent drawdowns, some assets still have the majority of their supply in profit. On the high end: $TRX : 84.6% of supply in profit (down just -5.6pp YTD) $XRP : 81.6% (down -10.4pp) pic.twitter.com/8Py0Wj7Bye — glassnode (@glassnode) April 8, 2025 For both ETH and SOL, the drop in profits means that a majority of holders are now underwater. This shift highlights the broader struggles faced by the two networks, especially since the market has encountered sustained bearish pressure. Ethereum’s position, with its vast ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, seems unassailable in the long-term perspective. Nonetheless, the near-term loss of unrealized gains serves to remind us of the volatility and unpredictable nature of the crypto market. Similarly, Solana’s network upgrades and growing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem face increasing competition, and the current decline in profit could make it harder for its market to recover in the near term. Now, with most holders in the red, both Ethereum and Solana have some immense obstacles to face as the current market continues to trend toward uncertainty. Investors will almost certainly have both of these networks on their watchlists, looking for some sort of recovery in pricing that might help them regain some of the ground they’ve lost. Middle Ground: Bitcoin, TON, and Dogecoin Showing Mixed Results While Bitcoin ($BTC), TON Coin ($TON), and Dogecoin ($DOGE) are somewhat in between, their profit percentages demonstrate that these coins are not immune to the market pullback, although they have been affected less than ETH and SOL. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Bitcoin, has a whopping 76.8% of its supply in profit, despite this number representing a kind of decline of -11.9pp YTD. TON Coin, which seems to have gained a nice little niche for itself in the marketplace, also shows a pretty healthy profit ratio of 76.7%. But again, there is also a decent-sized profit decline here: -5.5pp. At the same time, the well-known memecoin Dogecoin ($DOGE) has 50.8% of its supply in profit, which is down 32.3 percentage points since the beginning of the year. While Dogecoin is still a highly unstable asset (it is one of the more volatile assets in the cryptocurrency market), not to mention a highly speculative one, its considerable cultural cachet, along with endorsements from celebrities (most notably Elon Musk), seems to keep it afloat. But the sharp decline in unrealized gains shows that if Dogecoin had any momentum, it has certainly slowed down in 2022. Market Sentiment and Implications for Investors The present condition of unrealized gains across leading cryptocurrencies reveals a market that’s feeling the heat. Although some tokens, like TRX and XRP, still have substantial profits for their holders, the overall cryptocurrency market has taken some pretty rough drawdowns, with many holders now facing losses. Ethereum and Solana, in particular, seem to have taken some of the stoutest hits as they decline, reflecting the increased volatility that the major networks are swimming in. If you zoom out and look at the entirety of the crypto market, the picture that’s painted is one of a market under increased pressure. The change in profit percentages reminds investors of the need to keep risk in check when investing in a volatile market. The assets held might serve as a litmus test for where investor confidence is currently focused—since the future of digital asset performance still seems a bit hazy. In my view, digital assets like Bitcoin, TON, and Dogecoin might serve as somewhat reliable indicators. They’ve performed relatively well of late, suggesting that the digital asset market might not be quite as perilous as it seems. This data sheds light on the unceasing instability of the cryptocurrency market. It shows that some cryptocurrencies are better at weathering this storm than others. Going forward, it will be necessary for all cryptocurrency investors to undertake a close examination of their portfolios and to practice heightened vigilance. This is called for not just because of the losses that have recently flooded a large portion of the supply, but also because of the way that the “unrealized profit” scenario has recently changed for a large number of cryptocurrencies.

The post XRP Price Prediction Today: What’s Next After 12% Jump? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News U.S. stock markets and cryptocurrencies saw a sharp rebound Thursday after former President Donald Trump announced a temporary 90-day pause on most international tariffs — a move that has been welcomed by investors as a potential turning point for market sentiment. According to a statement shared by the White House and reposted by Trump on Truth Social, the United States will suspend tariffs for the majority of countries, lowering rates to 10%. The only exception remains China, where tariff rates have been raised to 125%, signaling an aggressive stance amid ongoing trade tensions. Market Reaction: A Sharp Reversal Markets responded immediately. U.S. stocks staged one of their largest single-day rallies in recent months, bouncing back from what had been one of the worst weeks of the year. The temporary easing of tariffs appears to have triggered renewed investor optimism, especially following recent volatility driven by trade war concerns and monetary policy uncertainty. Crypto Market Joins the Rally The cryptocurrency market mirrored the stock market’s move, with Bitcoin rising to $82,000 and major altcoins following suit. The total global crypto market cap jumped over 8% in the last 24 hours, now standing at $2.59 trillion. XRP saw one of the most impressive moves, climbing more than 12% to briefly touch $2. The token bounced from a key support level around $1.75 and now faces resistance at $2.14 to $2.15. A confirmed breakout above that range could open the door to further gains, with technical targets around $2.47 and $2.56 in play. Despite the bullish momentum, there is still uncertainty. On higher time frames, XRP is still technically within a broader bearish trend, and a sustained breakout is required to confirm a full reversal.
The cryptocurrency market keeps on developing, but many investors still overlook one important aspect: the vesting schedules tied to the release of tokens. Most of the tokens that hit the market before 2022 had a healthy portion of their supply locked up and are only being slowly released over the course of several years. Understanding how much of a token’s supply is still locked up and the timetable for these unlocks and the token’s gradual distribution to the market is necessary knowledge for sociology participants. A great many of these tokens are associated with long-term strategic blueprints, such as issuing community rewards, developing ecosystems, or making reserve allocations. This makes it important to pay attention to these schedules, watch these tokens work their way through their unlocked stages, and even consider what may happen when these operations are finished. Some tokens seem already to be almost finished with their unlocking. Others are still in an earlier stage of their operation and have years—if not decades—to go. Analyzing the Vesting Schedules: Tokens to Watch Many of the tokens that launched prior to 2022 still have a considerable part of their available supply that is not accessible to the market because it is locked in vesting schedules. Let’s examine some of the main tokens in today’s market that are undergoing this phase. Immutable ($IMX): Near Completion, But Still A Long Way to Go Immutable ($IMX), a leading platform in the NFT space, is relatively close to the completion of its unlock phase. As of now, 90% of the token’s total supply is unlocked, with the remaining 10% set to unlock by October 2025. This final batch of tokens is primarily allocated for ecosystem development and project growth. With only 10% left to unlock, the price action of $IMX is likely to be less impacted by future unlocks, as the majority of the supply has already entered circulation. The remaining allocation for ecosystem and project development suggests that Immutable is focused on long-term growth. Filecoin ($FIL): A Long Road Ahead for Unlocking Filecoin ($FIL), a decentralized storage network, still has a significant amount of its supply locked. Currently, 60% of $FIL’s supply remains in vesting, and the final unlock isn’t expected until July 2030. The remaining locked supply consists of reserves, community allocations, and team tokens. Given that $FIL still has a long way to go before the final unlock, this extended timeline could impact investor sentiment, especially as the token’s circulating supply increases over time. With a large portion of the remaining supply dedicated to reserves and community-driven initiatives, $FIL may see gradual inflationary pressure as new tokens enter circulation over the coming years. Yield Guild Games ($YGG): Significant Allocations Still Locked Yield Guild Games ($YGG), a decentralized gaming ecosystem, has now unlocked 78% of its total supply. Meanwhile, 22% of the supply is still locked, with the final unlock not scheduled until February 2027. The remaining allocations are mostly intended for investors, community members, and treasury personnel, as well as founders. The fact that such a large part is still locked up means that for the next few years, a significant influence over the token’s supply will be wielded by, well, the investors and founders. Aurora ($AURORA) and Skale ($SKL): Uncertain Final Unlock Dates Gradual token unlocks are also experienced by Aurora ($AURORA) and Skale ($SKL). It is estimated that the percentage of unlocked $AURORA has already crossed 40%. The final unlock is expected to happen in June 2029. The remaining tokens are, as per the structure of the project, tied to community incentives and reserve allocations. By contrast, the final unlock date for $SKL is completely unknown, which adds a layer of uncertainty for investors. Apart from having a fairly substantial amount of $SKL unlocked (63%), the imbalance between unlocked $SKL (63%) and the estimated circulating supply of $SKL (82.5%) may in fact render the project fairly precarious, if not downright toxic, from a market perspective. Taking a look at Tokens launched before 2022 that are still vesting. Who’s in control of the remaining supply? % Locked Supply (Final Unlock Date): $IMX : 10% (Oct 2025) $FIL : 60% (Jul 2030) $YGG : 22% (Feb 2027) $DYDX : ~32% (Jul 2026) $CELO : 44% (beyond 2050) … ↓ pic.twitter.com/cFtcWQeIEy — Tokenomist (prev. TokenUnlocks) (@Tokenomist_ai) April 8, 2025 dYdX ($DYDX): A Large Portion Still Locked for the Next Few Years dYdX ($DYDX), a decentralized derivatives exchange, has liberated roughly 68% of its total supply. This leaves portions of the supply that are set aside mostly for investors, team members, and reserves. Those reservists just have to wait until the last of this supply is set to be unlocked—around July of 2026. From a purely mechanical perspective, if price is a function of supply and demand, and if 68% being released doesn’t make the price go up, it might mean that a lot of the folks who hold it are just holding it for a coming price dip. Celo ($CELO): A Vesting Schedule That Could Stretch Beyond 2050 Celo ( $ CELO ) , a mobile – first blockchain project , has the most extended vesting period , with the remaining 44 % of its supply not expected to unlock until well beyond 2050 . The long timeframe for unlocking could significantly impact $ CELO ’ s market behavior , as the project still has a considerable portion of its supply locked in reserves and community – related allocations . The extended vesting period also suggests that the project ’ s founders and stakeholders are in control of a significant portion of the token supply , and their strategic decisions will play a critical role in shaping the token ’ s long – term price dynamics . Key Takeaways for Investors For investors, it is very important to understand the vesting schedules of tokens launched before 2022 in order to make predictions about potential price movements and to assess the overall supply-demand dynamics of these assets. If tokens have longer vesting periods, like $CELO, they are not as likely to face immediate inflationary pressure, which we might see as a kind of deflationary moment for immediate price appreciation. On the other hand, they could face some kind of price appreciation moment when tokens finally do start vesting, because we are in a bear market and inflationary moment right now. At the same time, tokens like $IMX, which are almost finished with their unlocks, might have less of a market impact from future unlocks and thus offer more stability. On the other hand, tokens like $FIL and $YGG that still have a lot of their supply locked up could face the opposite situation as the remainder of their locked supply gets released. These unlock schedules are significant for investors to observe because of what they may portend for the price, liquidity, and overall market sentiment of a token. Once a token is released from its vault, it becomes an free agent in the marketplace. The more tokens that get released, the more they can do positive or negative things to a token’s price.

A surprise development for Bitcoin investors is that the investment firm led by Michael Saylor, called Strategy , may soon have to sell some of its significant Bitcoin holdings to meet some lagging debt obligations. This would appear to violate the firm’s “never sell Bitcoin” tenet that has long been a part of Saylor’s investment philosophy. In the firm’s recent 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, it laid out its current state and the challenges it’s facing in the aftermath of Bitcoin’s price decline. Pressure Mounts on Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Following the November 2024 elections, when former President Donald Trump emerged victorious, Strategy has been putting the pedal to the metal, if you will, and significantly ramping up its purchases of Bitcoin. In fact, the firm had accumulated 275,965 BTC by the time we reached the moment of the November 2024 election—that total, by the way, was reached at an average price of $93,228 per Bitcoin. With Bitcoin’s recent price plunge, however, the firm is now looking at an unrealized loss on that very same Bitcoin pizza of approximately $4.6 billion. According to the Strategy filing with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), this number is now so large that the firm will likely have to sell some of its Bitcoin if it wants to continue to honor its other debt obligations. At the moment, Strategy possesses an overall sum of 528,185 BTC, holding the majority of it ($392.766 million) in trust for 13 grassy LLCs. The average cost basis for this asset class is $67,458 per Bitcoin. Their total holdings have been calculated to a value of around $40.119 billion. Two89, the strategy’s criminally named technology fund, is responsible for about 1.6% of the 13 grasses holdings, per my calculations. For the record, two grassy leaders—Alvin G. Meyer and David N. Joanovitz—are named as trustees for the two Bitcoin-related LLCs. STRATEGY MAY BE FORCED TO SELL BITCOIN, BREAKING 'HODL' PLEDGE In a recent 8-K filing with the SEC, Strategy may be forced to sell its #Bitcoin to meet debt obligations if $BTC prices continue to decline – potentially breaking Michael Saylor’s @saylor long-standing "never… pic.twitter.com/GfLPMmd2SP — Cult of Blockchain (@BlockchainCult) April 9, 2025 The company’s liquidity difficulty is laid bare in its filing, which explains that without access to favorable debt or equity financing, it might need to liquidate part of its Bitcoin reserve to meet its financial obligations. If it comes to that, it would be a striking about-face from Saylor’s HODL (Hold On for Dear Life) strategy, which emphasizes the belief that Bitcoin is a store of value that should be held long-term and not sold. Many investors view a potential Bitcoin sale by Strategy as something that would shake the very foundations of Bitcoin as an institutionally adoptable asset. A Billion-Dollar Gamble Gone Wrong Strategy’s bet on Bitcoin was not a small one. By buying up such a huge number of Bitcoins, the company placed a gigantic part of its financial assets into the fiery crucible of a very high-risk, very volatile investment. At the time of the purchase, Bitcoin was trading at something that looked suspiciously like a plateau, and Saylor was busy with a kind of a libertarian pep rally, touting the digital asset as the future of finance (and a decent hedge against inflation). Seen from a certain angle, the firm’s commitment to Bitcoin looks like a jab to the chin of traditional finance and a thumbs-up to the much-derided cryptocurrency market. The initial purchase of 275,965 BTC at a cost of $4.4 billion indicates that investing in such a volatile asset carries major risks. As Bitcoin’s price continues to plummet, the firm may find itself needing to divest of a portion of its holdings. But what firm would want to sell a shitload of BTC when it’s promising to not part with its stash? This is a situation that’s now happening for a firm that carried all of these promises and has since seen its market cap reduced by a half in just over 60 days. Potential Impact on the Market Should Strategy liquidate any part of its Bitcoin holdings to meet its obligations, the market will experience significant volatility. A sale of that size could hardly avoid affecting the price. And if the sale had to be done in a fast, forced way, or in some other less-than-ideal condition, it could be really bad for the price and could send a clear signal to other institutional investors that even the most bullish firms on Bitcoin are not immune to the risks of holding the asset in a downturn. The potential sale could undercut the narrative that Bitcoin is a “store of value” that swings with the traditional markets. If a prominent and well-respected firm like Strategy has to sell off a bunch of Bitcoin to cover its debts, that isn’t going to sit well with the other institutional investors Saylor’s firm has made comfortable with the whole Bitcoin space. For individual investors, the news could serve as a blunt reminder of the risks involved in holding Bitcoin, especially for those who have been following the high-profile advice of figures like Saylor. It could also reignite the debates over the sustainability of Bitcoin as an inflation hedge and a safe-haven asset. Looking Ahead: Will Strategy Sell Bitcoin? At present, Strategy has not sold any of its Bitcoin holdings; however, the firm’s 8-K filing has raised some crucial queries about its future intentions. The current phase of Bitcoin’s price slide may compel the firm to make some tough choices about its market posture. Saylor, who has consistently made the case for Bitcoin, may soon find that the company’s debt limits test that case to the breaking point. If the price of Bitcoin stays unstable or keeps moving downward, Strategy may have no alternative but to divest some of its holdings. For the firm to sell even a fraction of its Bitcoin would raise a number of issues, most of which revolve around the risks associated with holding not just the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, but also any cryptocurrency. For enthusiasts or investors who are truly passionate about Bitcoin’s prospects, this moment may well prove to be a pivotal one in the ongoing debate about what seems to be the ever-contentious role of Bitcoin within the financial ecosystem. In the end, this situation highlights just how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market can be and how even the biggest institutional players can find themselves in a tough spot when trying to navigate the market’s built-in volatility. Whether or not the crypto-focused hedge fund has to sell its Bitcoin to meet upcoming margin calls is an open question, but for now, Strategy’s own “HODL” pledge seems to be on the line.

The world of cryptocurrencies is always changing, and “smart money”—the cryptocurrency investors with a long history of making good calls—are continuing to put their very substantial cash into some of the newest, emerging sectors. Over the last 24 hours, the kinds of projects that smart money love have ranged from artificial intelligence (AI) to real-world assets (RWA) to stablecoins to privacy/security solutions. This diversification seems to be another bet by big, savvy investors on a future in which some of these innovative niches will be successful. Key Smart Money Accumulations: Insights and Analysis Investors with deep pockets have begun investing in a number of different projects, and this is a clear sign of burgeoning optimism in certain segments of the crypto universe. Among the various projects that have drawn interest from these high-profile wallets, four tokens in particular stand out: $PAAL, $PIN, $EURC, and $TALK. Let’s take a closer look at these tokens and why they’re stirring up excitement. AI & Automation: $PAAL Leads the Charge A recent accumulation has been of $PAAL, a decentralized AI ecosystem that is providing AI bots and tools for Web3 applications. This was a single smart wallet, that made an impressive accumulation over 24 hours of $PAAL amounting to over $400,000, which is a clear vote of confidence in the project by this particular investor. $PAAL has a market cap that isn’t even reaching half of a tenth of a billion dollars at $93 million, which makes this particular project even more interesting and under the radar especially considering what it’s offering and trying to build. The project is getting a boost in visibility through a hackathon hosted by @PaalMind, which offers a $10,000 prize pool to stimulate and reward the development of new tools within its ecosystem. AI is one of the biggest and fastest-growing sectors in both the crypto and tech industries right now, and smart money everywhere is finding ways to position itself within the hype. It is no surprise, then, that people are throwing funds at projects that are supposedly building out the combination of AI and blockchain. Real World Assets (RWA): $PIN Gains Traction Tokenization of real-world assets is budding trend in blockchain. $PIN (PinLink) is drawing attention and funding from sophisticated investors and accumulation by smart money. A recent accumulation of $160,000 worth of $PIN by a smart money wallet highlights both the project and the industry trend. The project has a modest market cap of $54 million but a very interesting story to tell. Its value proposition is centered on bringing real-world asset (RWA) tokenization to life with an actual bridge to traditional markets. This is an intriguing and potentially lucrative path. A recent announcement from PinLink of a $10 million tokenization deal with @cryptominersgcc has added fuel to the fire, further demonstrating the real-world application of its platform. As tokenization becomes more mainstream, $PIN stands out as a key player in this growing trend, and its ability to unlock new opportunities in the real-world asset space seems to be resonating well with institutional investors. Stablecoins: $EURC Looks to Reshape Euro Transactions Stablecoins have, of late, been transforming the crypto universe. They are fast becoming an essential part of the crypto ecosystem. And these euro-backed stablecoins, like the $EURC, have garnered quite a bit of attention of late. They are a product of the German fintech company EUREX. If you want to use euros on the blockchain, you can do so with the $EURC. It uses smart contracts to allow for a seamless experience when sending and receiving euro transactions. At the moment, the $EURC has a market cap of $180 million. Smart money wallets accumulations in the last 24 hours Main specific narratives accumulated: AI & Automation (9 wallets) Real World Assets (RWA) & DePIN (5 wallets) Stablecoins & Currency (3 wallets) Privacy & Security (3 wallets) Top accumulations and… pic.twitter.com/c0fZwSGU4K — CoinSense.app (@CoinSense_App) April 9, 2025 @SlingMoney introducing EURC positions the token perfectly to tap into the demand for stable, euro-pegged assets in the crypto realm. Increasingly used for cross-border payments, decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, and trading pairs, stablecoins have a growing adoption that can only spell good things for $EURC. And that can only mean good things for seeing the euro represented in ever more digital bunny trails. Privacy & Security: $TALK Eyes Decentralized Communication Solutions Concerns around privacy and security in the digital realm are still very much alive, and $TALK, the token which powers the CrypTalk network, is appearing as a somewhat virtually unstoppable force toward achieving private, encrypted messaging and secure communications. Just a short while ago, a smart money wallet picked up $36,000 worth of $TALK, which, at present, enjoys a market cap of $7.8 million. The very premise of CrypTalk seems to pivot on achieving something that is an absolute necessity in today’s world—a decentralized communication platform that puts privacy first. The focus of the project isn’t solely on enabling secure messaging; it also aims to platform real-world asset commerce (RWA), allowing users to conduct all manner of secure transactions, all the while maintaining the privacy we now, more than ever, demand in our digital lives. The project could be addressing two pressing market needs, with secure communications being an increasingly required service and the value of privacy in the digital realm growing every moment. This makes for the positioning of the project’s parent entity, in my opinion, as one with considerable upside. The Takeaway: Smart Money’s Strategic Moves The latest accumulations by intelligent money wallets illuminate a clearer trend. Broadly stated, it is one of investing in pioneering and burgeoning sectors within the space of cryptocurrency. More specifically, it is one of investing in what could very well be the “innovative and emerging” parts of the blockchain ecosystem that will see actual, real-world growth in the future. With the growth of these projects, their impact on the entire crypto market will be interesting to watch. Smart money’s strategic positioning in these tokens reflects a firm belief in their long-term potential, and their investments may serve as a kind of barometer for the crypto market at large. For individual investors hoping to ride the wave of these emerging trends, paying attention to the moves made by smart money could yield some valuable clues. The increasing focus on AI, real-world assets, stablecoins, and privacy within the crypto space serves to highlight the growing diversity of the market. This speaks to the institutional and high-net-worth investors who are now navigating an increasingly sophisticated digital-assets world. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice.

Binance has established itself as the clear number-one exchange, and it has a clear number-one position when it comes to market share in Bitcoin spot trading.: – Bitcoin is not going away any time soon, and as a result, companies that are into crypto trading, like Binance, will not disappear anytime soon either. – When you have a situation where there are clear winners, with Blockfi being in such a position, and with others having their clear number-one niches, those companies seem to be more reliable than those with a muddled, unclear competitive landscape. INSIGHT: According to CryptoQuant, Binance now controls nearly 50% of Bitcoin’s Spot Trading Volume! As spot trading volume declined, Binance’s share grew from 33% on Feb 3 to 49% by the end of Q1 Binance also increased its share of altcoin spot trading volume from 38% to… pic.twitter.com/Idyy8UuwEA — Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) April 9, 2025 Binance’s Growing Dominance in Spot Trading Nearly half of Bitcoin’s spot trading volume is now controlled by Binance, allowing the exchange to position itself as a primary destination for not only Bitcoin but also altcoin traders seeking liquidity. This surge in Bitcoin’s price has yielded vulnerable moments for other exchange platforms, during which they have seen their trading volumes attacked by Binance. Besides Bitcoin, Binance has also been able to ramp up its share of trading in altcoins. The exchange’s market share in altcoins grew from 38% to 44% in Q1, which is another area where it solidly leads as the top trading venue in crypto. And when you consider what these numbers might point to for overall trading and user experience in Binance, it’s pretty good. Because, as we said, there is a perceived level of user experience in terms of trading on Binance that is good. And when you message perceived weaknesses in overall trading services, you might get some pushback. Binance’s increase in dominance aligns perfectly with a broader market trend. The trend that has become more obvious of late is the one that shows divergence between short-term holders (STH) and long-term holders (LTH). Short-term investors appear to now be leaving the market in a state of panic and are not even stopping to collect their losses. More obviously, they appear to now be selling in the direction of the nearest exit. Long-term investors, on the other hand, seem to be stepping in quite firmly and regularly buying the dips. Panic Selling and Conviction Buying: A Tale of Two Market Sentiments When the price of Bitcoin fluctuates and when volatility plays a big role in market sentiment, the gap between short-term holders and long-term holders really shows. Short-term holders, who are more vulnerable to market swings, have been selling their positions. These panic sales are a short-term trader’s not-so-subtle attempt to mitigate losses. And the even less subtle part of this picture is that the panicked short-term traders are locking in even more losses as they sell into a declining market. Short-Term Capitulation Meets Long-Term Conviction “Divergence between STHs and LTHs is significant, Short-term investors are exiting in panic, locking in losses. Long-term investors are stepping in with conviction: buying weakness and absorbing supply.” – By @0nchained pic.twitter.com/lIH7zdGeyI — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 9, 2025 Conversely, steadfast long-term holders have been buying Bitcoin during these recent periods of weakness. This category of investors tends to be more strategic and less reactive. They see the current price levels as an opportunity to accumulate a currency they believe will appreciate in value. It seems that many long-term holders do not view the near-term price actions as a fair reflection of Bitcoin’s fundamental value. The platform that now occupies the number one position in terms of both long-term and short-term trader liquidity is Binance. It has proved that it can capture the shifting market dynamic and adapt quickly to changes in the competitive landscape. In a recent blog post, Binance outlined its competitive advantages. Bitcoin ETFs Face Net Outflows Amid Market Volatility Another notable occurrence in the cryptocurrency world has been the consistent outflows from Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). On April 8, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net outflow of $326 million, which brought to an end a four-day net outflow streak. This trend serves to highlight the overarching market uncertainty that exists at present, as investors appear to be pulling funds out of Bitcoin ETFs for what one would assume to be a safer investment that isn’t subject to the kinds of short-term price movements and volatility that the ETF has recently shown. On April 8, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a total net outflow of $326 million, continuing a 4-day streak of net outflows. Ethereum spot ETFs saw a total net outflow of $3.2947 million, with all nine ETFs showing no net inflows. https://t.co/BmieKfQjuL — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) April 9, 2025 Although the past scenarios made Bitcoin ETFs look like a way for institutional investors to safely access Bitcoin without direct ownership of it, the flurry of outflows suggests something else. Bitcoin ETF investors may now be a lot more concerned than they were previously about holding the ETF instead of the asset itself. One possibility is that ETF holders are using the outflows as a signal to switch to spot exchanges like Binance. Another possibility is that the ETF holders are saying to themselves, “We’re not going to go full-on with Bitcoin in this market. Let’s re-evaluate when the conditions are more favorable.” The pattern by which spot-exchange platforms such as Binance are becoming increasingly popular is a clear one. These platforms are now not just favored by retail investors, but are also being embraced by . . . not even half a decade ago, it was considered a reach when our friends at Grayscale referred to Bitcoin as “digital gold.” Now, the ETF banks are saying the same thing that Grayscale said back then: this is good for the ETF business. And there’s something else going on that might make these folks so keen on turning Bitcoin into an exchange-traded product. Conclusion: Binance’s Position as Market Leader The information that CryptoQuant provides delivers a clear scenario in which Binance is being seen as the exchange with the highest voltage of power in the cryptocurrency arena. It shows one with a large command of both Bitcoin and altcoin spot trading volume as the first issuer of liquidity and one that’s using every method available to it to challenge practically every other conditions of entry into the marketplace. Whether turbulent or steady, these are the worst kinds of conditions to be in if you’re any sort of potential competitor to Binance. The ongoing net outflows from Bitcoin ETFs accentuate a wider trend in the fall from grace for these closed-end funds. Preferentially, investors have begun eschewing these old-fashioned vehicles of financial engineering and have instead opted to trade directly on exchanges—like, say, Binance. As the cryptocurrency market remains volatile, trading on the Binance platform, in particular, positions investors to take advantage of Bitcoin’s price swings. This makes for an excellent arbitrage opportunity. Indeed, as much as Binance is loathed in some quarters for its alleged lack of compliance and by its founder for his not-so-cryptic putdown of Bitcoin bookkeepers, the platform serves at least one admirable function: as an order-matching engine. In the end, the growing dominance of Binance is a testament to its power of adaptation to shifting market dynamics, and its leadership role in the crypto space is likely to continue as long as it has that edge. Its edge is a competitive one. Disclosure: This is not trading or investment advice. Always do your research before buying any cryptocurrency or investing in any services.

In an unexpected twist in the cryptocurrency market, a digital wallet that might be linked to World Liberty, a well-known personality in the digital asset world, has been observed selling off large quantities of Ethereum ($ETH) at a loss. A recent report from Arkham, a blockchain intelligence firm, states that this wallet dumped 5,471 $ETH, valued at around $8.01 million, at a price of $1,465 per coin just 30 minutes ago. This sale is just the latest large-scale transaction tied to this wallet, which has otherwise been racking up significant notional losses in recent months. World Liberty’s $ETH Investment: A Painful Loss World Liberty, which operates under the handle @worldlibertyfi, has made news before for its aggressive investments in Ethereum. The wallet in question originally allocated around $210 million to buy 67,498 $ETH at an average price of $3,259 per coin. But now the market has turned against this investment, and the current value of these holdings is way down. As of the Sept. 14 sale, the wallet is now showing losses of around $125 million on its Ethereum position. Has Trump's World Liberty( @worldlibertyfi ) started selling $ETH at a loss? According to Arkham, a wallet possibly linked to #WorldLiberty sold 5,471 $ETH ($8.01M) at $1,465 30 minutes ago. #WorldLiberty previously spent ~$210M to buy 67,498 $ETH at an average price of $3,259,… pic.twitter.com/jPMqCiADvt — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) April 9, 2025 Choosing to unload $ETH at a deficit could symbolize a plan to reduce even more strain on their finances or might be just a simple response to the present state of the market. With Ethereum trading at such a low level compared to the highs it reached not too long ago, a lot of investors are $ETH holders and likewise have found themselves under water. And that’s the term for appearing to be in a situation where you’re just down and out. Along with this considerable sale, Arkham states that another whale – probably affiliated with the World Liberty wallet – divested 5,094 $ETH ($7.5 million) at $1,471 today. This sale seems to be part of something else that this whale is doing – namely, repaying some debt. The whale had borrowed about 80.91 million $USDT to buy 26,235 $ETH at $3,084 per coin back on July 5, 2024. A whale sold 5,094 $ETH ($7.5M) at $1,471 today to repay the debt again. He originally borrowed 80.91M $USDT to buy 26,235 $ETH at $3,084 on July 5, 2024. On March 11, he sold 25,800 $ETH for 47.8M $USDT at $1,853 to repay part of the debt. The whale has lost ~$40M on $ETH .… pic.twitter.com/aTZMmVHVuD — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) April 9, 2025 The Whale’s Debt Repayment Strategy and Losses The situation surrounding this whale’s $ETH holdings has become more complex in recent months. After initially borrowing $80.91 million in stablecoin USDT to buy $ETH at the price of $3,084, the whale has made several moves to pay off its debt. On March 11, the wallet sold 25,800 $ETH for $47.8 million worth of USDT at $1,853 per coin, effectively reducing the debt but at a significant loss. The transaction further boosted the whale’s paper losses to an estimated $40 million. This trend in the market reflects what is happening overall. The market is being pushed around by a small number of very large players—in this case, even the name “whale” doesn’t do justice to the sheer size of the player involved. Who know how much more selling this whale might have to do? And for what other large players in and out of the market might be using selling this as cover for their own activities? On April 8, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a total net outflow of $326 million, continuing a 4-day streak of net outflows. Ethereum spot ETFs saw a total net outflow of $3.2947 million, with all nine ETFs showing no net inflows. https://t.co/BmieKfQjuL — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) April 9, 2025 Whales and large institutional players are “managing” (a nice word for selling off) their huge positions in a market that isn’t safe for them. And, as always in the cryptocurrency markets, when those with the biggest buckets start splashing around, the price of everything goes down. Ethereum ETFs See Continued Outflows Amid Market Uncertainty The Ethereum market is intensifying its feelings of unease—this much is apparent after reviewing the latest data concerning Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). On April 8, spot ETFs tied to Ethereum experienced a net outflow of $3.29 million. This figure represents the largest single-day outflow yet in a four-day streak of Ethereum spot ETF net outflows. The outflows are happening at a moment when Ethereum’s future appears increasingly uncertain to investors. These outflows are a sign of something larger, and they are reflecting a current market sentiment of risk aversion toward Ethereum. Although the broader crypto market has been volatile this year, it has been in recovery mode for several months. Despite this, investor interest in Ethereum-based financial products has not returned. The lack of inflows into Ethereum ETFs indicates that institutional investors are not excited about entering the Ethereum market at the moment. Conclusion: A Challenging Time for Ethereum Investors The recent happenings of the wallet linked to World Liberty, as well as the recent trend of outflows in Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), tell us something about the current state of the market. That something is that it’s a difficult time for many investors, and many of those investors have made the decision to part with their Ethereum holdings at a loss. In this case, we’re really talking about two groups of sellers: the folks at World Liberty who seem very intent on selling whatever Ethereum they have left, and a group of other large Ethereum holders who have apparently decided to also sell off their Ethereum. The present market price of Ethereum is a long distance from the apex seen in 2021 and early 2022, with a large portion of our investor base now holding significant unrealized losses. For World Liberty, the decision to sell off portions of our holdings is likely a necessary step to mitigate further losses and move toward the “new normal” of this market. Whether we will see a sufficient upturn in the market to make up the substantial losses we and our investors have taken remains to be seen. At the moment, the only trend we seem to have is continued outflows and panic selling. The continuing instability in the Ethereum market, together with the liquidation strategies of whales and institutional investors, indicates that the path to recovery may be long and uncertain. For those engaged in the $ETH market, the next few months could turn out to be key in deciding whether the asset can obtain its former speed once again or whether it has further corrections coming up in its future.
