The Bitcoin Billion-Dollar Dump: Heres Why The BTC Price Keeps Crashing

Crypto pundit Ardizor has alleged that several crypto firms appear to be dumping Bitcoin, which is why the $BTC price keeps crashing. The leading crypto had crashed over the weekend but is now recovering on hopes of a U.S.-Iran deal.  Why The $BTC Price Keeps Crashing  In an X post, Ardizor stated that the $BTC price was dumping because crypto exchanges Binance, Coinbase, and Bybit, along with whales and Wintermute, were selling millions of $BTC. He claimed that they have sold over $2 billion worth of $BTC and further alleged that it was a “pure, coordinated dump,” which usually comes after the U.S. market opens.  The pundit cited on-chain flows from these crypto exchanges hot wallets as evidence that they were dumping Bitcoin. The latest dump in the $BTC price came over the weekend, with the leading crypto falling below $75,000 after the SEC was reported to have delayed its decision on tokenized stocks due to regulatory concerns. Bitcoin also dropped as market participants further priced in the possibility of a Fed rate hike this year.  However, the $BTC price is recovering again following the crash below $75,000, on the back of optimism that the U.S. and Iran may be nearing a deal to

Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Consolidates After Extended Downtrend

Ethereum is trading close to a vital support level as growing pressure hits near $2,100.ETFs and the rotation from Ethereum to Bitcoin are currently affecting price levels for ETH.The ETH price is expected to rally back towards $2,500 despite these negative conditions.  Ethereum decreased by 0.59% from its previous price over the last 24 hours at the time of writing. In this case, the question that comes up from the situation is that of the lowering price of Ethereum due to the dominance of Bitcoin.  Spot Ethereum ETFs also show pressure. Net outflows reached $216 million last week, based on Farside Investors data, which means institutional capital has not been supporting ETH demand in the same way it has for Bitcoin. That gap is feeding into weaker price action for ETH.  Market structure and where ETH stands now  After having a look at the ETH chart, it can be said that there is an extended downtrend that developed following the peak in 2025 above $4,500. There have been a number of lower highs and lower lows since then.  The current price is around the $2,100 level, which stands above the significant support region from $2,000 to $2,200. The zone serves as a critical buying region

Can ETH Price Recover Above $2,500 as EF Promises To Sell Less ETH?

as market attention turned to new comments from Vitalik Buterin about the future role of the Ethereum Foundation and its ETH sales. The Ethereum Foundation is to become smaller, more focused, and more selective in how it uses its remaining resources, with Buterin saying this approach means the organization will “sell less ETH.”  The update came while ETH remained under pressure. Ethereum bounced about 5% from a weekend low near $2,020 but later moved sideways around $2,115. The asset is still down about 9% over the past 14 days, while the Ethereum Fear and Greed Index stood at 33, signaling fear among traders.  Source:  Santiment data showed that crowd sentiment around Vitalik-related trending words turned about 76% bullish after the comments. However, the price response remained limited, showing that improved sentiment has not yet created a strong recovery in ETHs market structure.  Ethereum Foundation Plans Smaller Role  Buterin the Ethereum Foundation is not the center of Ethereum, but one node with a defined mission. He said the organization will focus on core priorities such as censorship resistance, capture resistance, openness, privacy, and security.  He also said the foundation holds only about 0.16% of the total ETH supply. That level is far below the treasury share held

Tom Lehman pushes for EIP 8182 inclusion in Ethereum Hegota upgrade

Ethereum Layer 2 co-founder Tom Lehman has renewed efforts to include EIP-8182 in Ethereums planned Hegota upgrade, proposing a protocol-level privacy system for private ETH and ERC-20 transfers.Facet co-founder Tom Lehman has pushed for EIP-8182 inclusion in Ethereums Hegota upgrade to enable native private ETH and ERC-20 transfers.The proposal introduces a protocol-managed shared shielded pool and ZK proof verification system with no admin key or pause mechanism.EIP-8182 joins other Hegota privacy proposals, including EIP-8141 and EIP-8250, as Ethereum developers expand work on protocol-level privacy infrastructure.  According to a proposal Lehman highlighted on Friday, EIP-8182 would introduce a shared shielded pool managed directly by the Ethereum protocol instead of relying on separate privacy applications with fragmented user bases.  Lehman, who co-founded the Layer 2 network Facet, argued that Ethereum currently faces a structural problem where privacy pools struggle to gain enough users to create effective anonymity while users avoid joining pools that lack sufficient privacy guarantees.  Under the proposal, Ethereum would deploy the shielded pool as a system contract with no admin key, proxy contract, or pause function. Lehman said the design would follow a fork-managed structure similar to existing Ethereum protocol contracts, meaning future changes could only happen through network upgrades.  At the same

Vitalik Buterin Breaks Silence On Ethereum Foundation Future, Here Is What Is Coming

Vitalik Buterin pointed out that earlier stages of development required broad effort. Now that many of those early goals are complete, the focus is shifting toward long-term stability and technical depth.  He also highlighted that Ethereum must remain “impressive” in a technical sense. This means stronger security, better privacy tools, and systems that reduce reliance on middle services.  For the Ethereum Foundation, this direction signals a smaller but more focused structure.  It is not about expansion, but about durability and clarity of purpose. The Ethereum Foundation is being shaped to last longer rather than grow wider.  Ethereum Foundation Plans To Sell Less ETH And Shift Strategy  One of the most discussed points from the update is the Ethereum Foundations plan to reduce ETH sales. The foundation currently holds a relatively small share of total ETH supply compared to similar organizations in other blockchain systems.  Vitalik Buterin said the goal is to focus on long-term survival instead of short-term spending. This means the Ethereum Foundation will take a more careful approach when it comes to using its ETH reserves.  In earlier years, ETH sales were part of funding development work and operations. The new direction suggests less pressure to sell and more emphasis on preserving resources.  The Ethereum Foundation

Buterin Says Ethereum Foundation Is Not the Center of Ethereum

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to growing criticisms of the Ethereum Foundations role in the Ethereum ecosystem, pushing back against critics who want the organization to take a more active role in supporting token prices and marketing.  Buterin said the Foundation will continue to focus on promoting censorship-resistance, open source software code, long-range research, cybersecurity, and decentralization of the Ethereum Protocol, as outlined in its mandate. He said:  EF is not a ‘center of Ethereum’, rather EF is ‘one node, with a defined purpose, alongside other nodes’. We have always said that the EF should be the latter, but many in the Ethereum ecosystem, and even within the EF, wanted us to be the former.  “Now, we are taking action to ensure that we will be the latter,” he continued, adding that the Ethereum Foundation seeks to strengthen Ethereums cybersecurity and code base but not necessarily compete with high-throughput chains or scale to 1 million transactions per second.  The comments follow several large ETH holders selling their entire ETH position and high-profile departures from the Ethereum Foundation, as the current price of the cryptocurrency, about $2,094, sits more than 50% below its all-time high of nearly $5,000 reached in August 2025.  “The EF has only

Ethereum Foundation To Step Back As Ecosystem Matures, Says Vitalik

Vitalik says Ethereum Foundation will shrink its influence and become one node among many.Ethereum will prioritise CROPS values over competing on transaction speed like rival chains.EF board is expanding while Vitalik says his own influence will continue decreasing.  Vitalik Buterin has revealed a major shift in the future direction of the Ethereum Foundation, saying the organization wants to become “one node among many” instead of acting as the center of the Ethereum ecosystem.  In a post discussing Ethereums future, Buterin explained that the Foundation is moving toward a smaller, more focused, and more opinionated structure centered around decentralization, privacy, censorship resistance, and long-term sustainability.  Ethereum Foundation Wants Less Centralized Influence  Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation was never meant to permanently control the network and that its role should gradually decrease over time.  He added that the Foundation‘s board is currently expanding and that his own influence inside the organization will continue decreasing, something he described as healthy for Ethereum’s long-term future.  According to Buterin, many people inside the crypto industry have increasingly questioned whether Ethereums actions still reflect its original values around decentralization, privacy, and open systems.  Ethereum Will Prioritize “CROPS” Technology  Instead of competing mainly on transaction speed or trying to maximize TPS numbers like many rival
