Crypto: Polygon Outperforms Ethereum on Fees, Demand Rises
For a long time, paying high fees on Ethereum symbolized security and prestige. But the market follows usage: in recent days, Polygon has generated more daily fees than Ethereum. This is not just a statistical anomaly, it is a concrete signal of activity shift and a question about the real evolution of crypto demand in 2026.

Crypto Sentiment Reaches Historically Low Levels
Capitulation often precedes market reversals. As crypto sentiment sinks into extreme fear, Matrixport believes bitcoin could be approaching a potential bottom. In a recent analysis, the firm highlights that several sentiment indicators and technical signals converge towards a historically sensitive zone.

US Market Stress Weighs On Bitcoin After Key Support Breaks
The 70,000-dollar threshold did not hold. In a climate of high volatility in the United States, bitcoin takes the full brunt of the return of instability in traditional markets. Bond yields under pressure, rising volatility index, marked risk aversion: the macroeconomic backdrop is hardening. This sequence goes beyond a simple technical correction. It illustrates bitcoin's growing dependence on global financial dynamics. So, can the crypto market still free itself from macroeconomic cycles?

Public Firms Expand Crypto Treasuries Amid Volatility
While the crypto market undergoes a brutal correction phase, some listed companies choose to strengthen their positions rather than scale down.

eToro Surges 20% on Crypto Revenue as Coinbase Disappoints
Tuesday, February 17, 2026, eToro (ETOR) stock closed up about 20%, supported by better-than-expected quarterly results and the still central weight of crypto in its model.

Solana Faces Capital Outflows And Slowing On Chain Activity
Warning signals are multiplying around Solana. While SOL struggles to stabilize above a key technical threshold, derivatives market data show a clear retreat of bullish positions. Meanwhile, on-chain activity is slowing down and network revenues are eroding.
