The spread is still active, and the window has not closed yet.

Those who entered early are already working with the setup, while the opportunity is still available.
As always, speed matters here - these windows can close at any moment.

Ethereum researchers propose to CUT validator rewards to ZERO if half of all ETH becomes staked.

The proposal EIP-8363 would gradually reduce newly created ETH rewards, reaching zero if staking rises from around 34% today to 50% of total supply.

Critics warn the move could force out solo stakers, giving larger operators even more control.

BTC: 2026 bear market structure update

So far, everything is playing out according to plan.
That said, $BTC is holding up a bit better than I initially expected.
Even so, I still believe the market has one final leg down ahead before this bear cycle is over.
For me, that move should mark the last major phase of the correction before conditions start improving.

How do you quickly find where the on-chain action is?

Go to DefiLlama and check DEX Volume by chain.

Normally, Solana sits at the top. But if another chain suddenly overtakes it, or you notice a sharp spike in volume (just like we saw with Robinhood), that is usually where the attention and liquidity have shifted.

Then open DexScreener, select that chain, and start tracking the runners.

It is one of the simplest ways to spot where the current meta is forming before everyone else catches on.

Whales are loading up on ETH.

Three large wallets accumulated around $43M worth of $ETH today alone.

One withdrew $20M from OKX, another bought $19.1M through an OTC desk (bringing its weekly purchases to $52M), and a third swapped $3M worth of UNI into ETH.

As a bonus, someone also bought nearly $100M worth of $BTC through Galaxy Digital today.

Give the market a little green candle, and people rush to buy. When everything is red, they're too afraid to do the same.

Is the options market expecting a drop?

Normally, when traders expect the market to move higher, demand for call options increases and they become more expensive.

Right now, we are seeing the opposite: the market is rising, while calls are historically cheap. Their implied volatility has fallen to around 23% - an all-time low.

This does not necessarily mean traders are aggressively hedging for downside.

It simply shows that the options market does not believe in a strong upside move and is not willing to overpay for calls.

In other words, price is going up - but expectations remain very cautious.
