Bitcoin (BTC) Price Reclaims $92K as Altcoins Lag

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Price Reclaims $92K as Altcoins Lag appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market exhibited signs of optimism during the Asia session on Monday, with bitcoin BTC$91,990.84 rising above $92,000 having spent the weekend trapped in a tight range below $90,000. The largest cryptocurrency has now reversed Friday’s sell-off and is within striking distance of last week’s high of $94,200. U.S. equity index futures also posted a gain from Sunday evening’s open, rising by around 0.2% as the market anticipated a Federal Reserve interest-rate cut on Wednesday, with probability of a 25 basis point cut standing at around 87%, according to CME data. While bitcoin and ether ETH$3,148.92 are up 3%-4% over the past 24 hours, the altcoin market remains weak with a lack of speculative catalysts driving the action. Derivatives positioning BTC’s 30-day implied volatility index, BVIV, is holding steady at around 50%, showing no signs of panic ahead of the impending Fed decision. ASTER and ENA lead open interest growth in futures tied to the major tokens. Perpetual funding rates for major tokens, including BTC and ETH, continue to be positive, indicating a bias for bullish leveraged bets. The positive bias, however, could be in part due to the unwinding of the cash and carry arbitrage’s short futures legs. On Deribit, bitcoin and ether puts continue to trade pricier than calls in a sign of lingering downside fears. In BTC’s case, the $20K put is the second most popular options bet in the June 2026 expiry options. Block flows featured demand for BTC call spreads and strangles. In ETH’s case, call calendar spreads have dominated the 24-hour flow. Token talk The “altcoin season” indicator slumped to a record low of 19/100 on Monday, highlighting how investors are refusing to speculate on the tokens other than the market leaders following a grueling sell-off over the past few months. This behavior…

Blockchain vs. Traditional Studios in Gaming

The post Blockchain vs. Traditional Studios in Gaming appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The gaming world is at a crossroads. For decades, the success of a video game has been measured by two core metrics, the depth of its storyline and the quality of its graphics. Yet, in the era of decentralized technology and the ubiquitous mobile phone, these traditional fundamentals are being challenged and expanded upon. This tension was the core subject of the BeInCrypto panel, “Traditional Studios vs. Blockchain: Can There Be Common Ground?” Moderated by Alevtina Labyuk, Chief Strategic Partnerships Officer at BeInCrypto, the discussion brought together industry heavyweights: Mark Rydon, Co-Founder of Aethir, and Inal Kardan, Director of Gaming at TON Foundation. The consensus? Blockchain isn’t here to replace core gaming fundamentals, but to expand what is possible if developers can prove its worth to a skeptical audience. The Evolution of Gaming Success Metrics Alevtina Labyuk opened the conversation by reflecting on the industry’s slow pace of fundamental change. “Actually, I also have kind of an experience in gaming 15 years ago, but things didn’t change much in traditional gaming. The two key factors of success of a game were the story line and the graphics. But with the growth of blockchain and mobile phones, the new factors are coming in.” This evolution means success today isn’t just about the cinematic experience; it’s increasingly about user agency, economic participation, and digital ownership. However, the panel was unanimous on one crucial point that grounds the discussion in reality: the average player remains deeply indifferent to the underlying technology. The 95% Problem: Joy, Fun, and Indifference While Web3 enthusiasts often tout the benefits of decentralization, the speakers stressed that the majority of players simply don’t care about the blockchain layer. They play for inherent enjoyment. “In general, I do agree that players, they don’t need blockchain. Actually, 95% of players don’t…

Analyst Predicts Strong Bullish Trends in 2026

The post Analyst Predicts Strong Bullish Trends in 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The outlook for 2026 in the cryptocurrency market raises a complex mix of optimism, uncertainty, and conflicting signals. Bold forecasts from well-known analysts have ignited excitement, especially predictions that Ethereum could climb to $62,000 and Bitcoin could surge to $250,000 within a matter of months. These claims suggest the possibility of an extremely bullish environment if they unfold as stated. For many investors, these sweeping predictions also renew interest in identifying the best crypto to buy now as the market prepares for another potential shift in momentum. Market Realities Challenge Bullish Predictions for Bitcoin and Ethereum Still, present market behavior tells a more cautious and nuanced story. Bitcoin is slipping away from its bullish logarithmic regression band and has already broken below the important 50 week moving average. Historically, falling under this moving average has marked the start of prolonged downtrend phases, and the current position suggests that Bitcoin may already be in such a cycle. The correction of around 36% from the previous top is also relatively shallow when compared with earlier market cycles, which raises the concern that more volatility and more downside could still appear. Ethereum shows similar instability. During its earlier decline, it dropped more than 65% and reached around $1,380 in April 2025. Although it recovered afterward, it has once again fallen around 46% from its recent peak. Amid this volatility, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests that Ethereum, currently around $1,800, represents one of the most attractive accumulation zones. This positioning could set the stage for a potential bull rally toward $10,000 in the coming months. The overall market capitalization of Ethereum remains roughly the same as before, which weakens the argument that the asset has matured into a low volatility phase. True volatility reduction depends on who holds the majority of supply. If…

What can save you, my crypto world?

Author: Nancy, PANews “I wasted eight years of my life in the crypto industry.” Aevo co-founder Ken Chan published an article denouncing the crypto industry as having degenerated into a "super casino," a post that quickly went viral in online communities both domestically and internationally. Behind the millions of views, the community debate exploded. Supporters saw it as a wake-up call, bursting the bubble, while opponents viewed it as a betrayal by those who had already benefited. Putting aside the emotional outbursts, this debate reflects the collective anxiety and cyclical confusion within the industry currently facing liquidity shortages and a narrative vacuum. Turned into a super casino? What's wrong with the crypto ecosystem? In this lengthy article, Ken Chan candidly admits that the past eight years have been a journey from idealism to disillusionment. As a libertarian and programmer deeply influenced by the works of Ayn Rand, he was a staunch believer in the cypherpunk spirit, viewing Bitcoin as "a private bank for the rich." However, after eight years of full-time dedication to the industry, he painfully admitted that even though he had made money, he still felt that those eight years of his youth had been completely wasted. The narrative most often uttered by industry practitioners is "completely replacing the existing financial system with blockchain," but this is merely a propaganda slogan; they are simply maintaining the world's largest online casino, operating 24/7. This misperception stems from a drastically distorted industry incentive mechanism. In reality, no one cares about genuine technological iteration. Market participants are blindly pouring funds into the next Layer 1 public chain, attempting to bet on the next Solana. This speculative mentality has fueled an inflated market capitalization of hundreds of billions of dollars. In fact, there are quite a few zombie public blockchains nowadays. Even emerging high-performance blockchains that have raised tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars are not immune to the airdrop craze and incentive subsidy activities, leaving very few real users. This is like building countless highways in a desert, but there are no cities or factories along the way, only a group of speculators reselling land. The data also confirms this predicament. According to DeFiLlama, in the past 24 hours, only 15 chains had on-chain DEX transaction volumes exceeding 10 million, and only 4 chains met the requirement of having millions of daily active addresses. On this "ghost town" of over-saturated infrastructure, Ken argues that spot DEXs, perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and the Meme coin platform are essentially gambling tools. For example, the former Meme culture has been replaced by an industrialized "coin issuance pipeline," becoming an on-chain casino of extreme PvP; and the frequent interactions across many applications are not driven by genuine needs, but rather by the pursuit of points for airdrops. As Ken points out, while VCs can write 5,000-word essays outlining grand visions, the reality is that these games are constantly consuming the existing funds of retail and institutional investors. What makes Ken Chan even more uncomfortable is the industry's subversion of common business sense. Here, making money through token issuance, market making, and profit-taking is far easier than refining a product. The market is flooded with tokens that have "high FDV and low liquidity," projects with no real revenue yet boasting valuations of billions of dollars, and so-called governance tokens that are nothing more than liquidity tools for investors to exit. This environment where bad money drives out good not only deprives practitioners of the ability to identify sustainable businesses but also instills a highly toxic "financial nihilism" in the younger generation. With traditional assets becoming increasingly unaffordable, Generation Z is exhibiting its own form of "financial rebellion." According to a recent Financial Times article, the deteriorating housing affordability in the United States is profoundly changing Generation Z's financial and consumption behaviors, even driving some young people to speculate in cryptocurrencies and generating feelings of economic nihilism. Besides cryptocurrencies, trendy stocks, collectible toys, leveraged ETFs, and prediction markets are all financial trends among young people. Ken Chan's accusations resonated with many. For example, Tangent founder Jason Choi lamented that we already have countless low-cost/fast blockchains, lax regulatory systems, massive overfunding since 2017, and thousands of developers delivering smart contracts over the past decade. Yet, an AI company is about to IPO at a price exceeding the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin and stablecoins. Inversion Capital founder Santiago Roel Santos points out that this is a sobering reminder of reality for the entire industry. Today, the crypto industry has only about 40 million monthly active users (MAU), while Facebook had 845 million MAU at its IPO and a market capitalization of approximately $100 billion; OpenAI currently has about 800 million MAU and its most recent valuation was $500 billion. To have a $10 trillion asset class, we need at least a billion users. Crypto KOL YQ cited an older article stating that many crypto OGs have chosen to leave the market after questioning their initial beliefs. In the current cycle, highly speculative projects like memes, perpetual tokens, and prediction markets remain resilient, while the value of many infrastructure and social projects is increasingly difficult to prove. This is undoubtedly the most difficult phase for startups, VCs, traders, and users, and the market is rife with "pump and dump" schemes using leveraged perpetual tokens to manipulate small-cap or older coins. In this environment, it's crucial to acknowledge the facts and accept reality. Whether you're a VC or an entrepreneur, the only way to survive is to continuously adjust your direction and consistently deliver products. Navigating the cycles of crypto sentiment, "the forest needs to be cleared of dead trees." Many industry professionals believe that Ken Chan's negative emotions are essentially a typical "retreat the ladder after getting ashore" mentality. As a beneficiary of the existing system, he made his fortune in the crypto market, yet he turned around and criticized this ladder to wealth as dirty. At the same time, his aversion to financial nihilism ignored the fact that for countless ordinary people around the world, this bubble-filled market remains one of the few channels for upward social mobility. Moreover, AEVO's price has already fallen by more than 98% from its all-time high. Regarding the current predicament of the crypto market, Ken believes the industry is merely spinning its wheels, but many proponents see it as a necessary growing pain in technological development. We cannot negate the entire financial city that is rising from the ground just because we see people losing money in a casino. If we turn our attention to high-inflation countries like Argentina, Turkey, and Nigeria, we find that stablecoins such as USDT and USDC have become de facto "hard currency." Local people rely on them to protect their meager savings from hyperinflation, and this financial system has effectively served tens of millions of people. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is no longer just a geek's toy; it's becoming part of the balance sheets of sovereign wealth funds, national government reserves (such as in El Salvador and Bhutan), and top hedge funds. Ethereum's technical components have been established as a global public blockchain standard and have gained recognition from Wall Street capital. Furthermore, with assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate rapidly being put on-chain, financial efficiency is experiencing a substantial leap. On the technological front, countless developers are making breakthroughs in cutting-edge fields such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), censorship-resistant networks, and quantum resistance. These are the real undercurrents behind the noisy crypto market. Regarding the "casino analogy," Haseeb, a partner at Dragonlfy, points out that the cryptocurrency space has never lacked casinos. The first blockbuster application on Bitcoin was Satoshi Dice (2012). The first blockbuster smart contract on Ethereum was King of the Ether Throne (2015), which was essentially a Ponzi scheme. Once programmable money exists, people's first instinct is always to bet and play games—this is human nature. The crypto world has always had its hottest casinos: ICO casinos, DeFi, NFTs, and now MEME coins. The forms change, but the essence remains the same. While casinos are glamorous and attract attention on social media, focusing solely on their superficiality will cause you to miss the more important stories. He further points out that cryptocurrencies are becoming a superior financial vehicle, reshaping the nature of money and subtly altering the power relationship between individuals and governments. Bitcoin has begun to challenge national sovereignty, with governments incorporating it into their balance sheets; stablecoins are influencing monetary policy, prompting central banks to scramble to respond; and the scale and value of permissionless financial protocols like Uniswap and AAVE have surpassed many unicorn fintech companies. The world is undergoing a profound shift around cryptocurrencies. “This transformation is slower than many anticipated, but that’s how technology diffusion always is,” Haseeb stated. Three years after ChatGPT’s launch, generative AI still hasn’t been reflected in GDP or employment data; the Industrial Revolution took 50 years to truly impact productivity; and the widespread adoption of the internet took over 20 years. Expecting it to replace the world’s most regulated financial system within a mere five years is unrealistic. If you’re frustrated because you didn’t become rich from participating in a MEME project, take a deep breath; the industry doesn’t owe anyone wealth. In fact, pessimism and a sense of “mental surrender” on the timeline aren’t necessarily bad things. Pantera Capital partner Mason Nystrom also believes that a pessimistic view of cryptocurrencies and their social value is wrong. While speculation and abuse exist in the cryptocurrency space, and its casinos are real and large-scale, with many people losing money at the tables, it also contains a great deal of overlooked positive social value. He explained that Bitcoin has become a global, non-sovereign asset that anyone in the world with an internet connection can hold. It provides a veto/exit mechanism for people worldwide, transferring economic control from nations to individuals. Stablecoins offer more efficient and secure financial services to people around the world, with faster disbursement, higher returns, and lower costs. The lack of returns from banks for depositors, high fees for cross-border remittances, and the 2.9% transaction fee for e-commerce are all being reshaped by stablecoins, bringing tangible social value. Lending platforms like Aave and Morpho enable people worldwide to access over-collateralized loans. The low-collateral lending market will further unleash enormous social benefits, reduce capital costs, and create significant positive externalities. Furthermore, blockchain will enable global users to access previously restricted financial products such as stocks, bonds, insurance, and credit. Permissionless financing allows any good idea to gain support based on its own value. A more transparent, efficient, and low-cost market is itself an improvement for society. Mason Nystrom also stated that cryptocurrencies are building a completely new financial system. Some will build casinos, some will build payment networks, some will build speculative instruments, and others will build inclusive credit infrastructure. This new financial system will not be perfect, but it will far surpass the current state. If we only see the casino aspect of cryptocurrencies, perhaps we should take a step back and look at all the benefits that cryptocurrencies have brought to and will continue to bring to society from a more macro perspective. The crypto industry is currently experiencing a low point, and Ken's post is less a reflection and more an emotional outpouring after a failed startup. Projects like Aevo are not uncommon in their difficulties; this is precisely the survival of the fittest the industry is undergoing. In the past few years, the sector has seen an oversupply of projects lacking real value and unable to deliver viable products. The current pain is simply squeezing out the bubble that has accumulated. Just as forests need to be regularly cleared of dead trees to prevent decay from spreading, the same applies to the crypto industry. Let those who are weary, lost, or only here for speculation leave naturally, and the air will become clear. Either change your mindset and refocus on the future, or make way for those still building. This journey has just begun and is far from over.
