The Ethereum and altcoin landscape experienced a volatile period. Ethereum users suffered $62 million in losses due to address poisoning and phishing scams, exacerbated by lower transaction fees from the Fusaka upgrade. Trend Research’s complete liquidation of its 651,757 ETH position ($688M loss) initially caused concern, but ETH surprisingly stabilized above $2000, indicating growing market maturity. Meanwhile, XRP demonstrated strength with $39 million in weekly ETF inflows, surpassing Bitcoin’s outflows. Institutional interest in XRP is rising, with $2 billion committed to reserves, fueling optimism for a new all-time high. Ethereum faces price challenges, falling to $2000 despite bullish predictions (Standard Chartered forecasts $7,500 by 2026), while Vitalik Buterin’s ETH withdrawal raised concerns. Buterin also proposed hyper-scaling Ethereum via expanded state capacity. Solana, however, experienced significant ETF outflows ($11.9M in one session) and price declines towards multi-month lows. Bitcoin also saw a price drop from $90,000 to $70,000, but analysts suggest much of the negative news is already priced in.
