Ставка Фикела на победу Ethereum над биткоином обернулась провалом

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2023-02-11Last updated on 2024-08-11

Основатель исследовательской организации Amaranth Foundation Джеймс Фикел разуверился в победе Ethereum (ETH) над биткоином.

Фикел стал активно брать взаймы биткоины на платформе Aave и тратить их на покупку Ethereum после выпуска биткоин-ETF в январе. В общей сложности он приобрёл 56 445 ETH стоимостью $149,3 млн по текущей цене. Джеймс покупал Ethereum по среднему курсу 0,05424 по отношению к биткоину. Сейчас 1 ETH стоит лишь 0,04344 BTC. Соответственно, инвестор понёс убыток в размере 20% ($29,9 млн).

Чтобы расплатиться с долгами, Фикел недавно обменял 10 000 ETH на 425,8 BTC стоимостью $26,1 млн. Он до сих пор владеет Ethereum на сумму $149,7 млн, поэтому, если ETH продолжит дешеветь по отношению к BTC, то Джеймсу придётся подсчитывать ещё больший ущерб.

Запуск торговли Ethereum-ETF, состоявшийся 23 июля, не изменил плачевную ситуацию, сложившуюся на графике динамики изменения курса ETH по отношению к цене BTC.

Ethereum дешевеет в рамках нисходящего канала с сентября 2022 года, однако недавно стоимость ETH оттолкнулась от нижней линии, играющей роль барьера поддержки, и начала повышаться. В связи с этим можно предположить, что Ethereum подорожает по отношению к биткоину в ближайшем будущем.

Stellar’s $0.142 test – Why it may be the buying chance traders await

Stellar's XLM extended its decline, dropping 7.85% to $0.1514 despite a 10.55% increase in trading volume. This suggests active selling rather than support for a recovery. Key technical indicators point to persistent bearish control. XLM broke a key horizontal support and remains below a descending trendline, with the MACD in a bearish crossover and Parabolic SAR dots above the price. The RSI is at 34.42, nearing oversold territory, and the DMI shows bearish momentum is intact. The analysis indicates XLM is likely to drift toward the next major demand zone at $0.142 before any potential recovery attempt can gain traction.

Aave Founder Dismisses Reports Of Payward’s ‘70% Discount’ Stake Purchase

Aave founder Stani Kulechov has dismissed reports claiming that Kraken's parent company, Payward, was negotiating to purchase a 15% stake in Aave Group at a steep 70% discount. The reported deal proposed a $71 million investment at a $385 million valuation, which was framed as a significant discount compared to AAVE's fully diluted token valuation. Kulechov rejected this narrative, stating AAVE would not be sold at such a discount, and highlighted Aave's protocol revenue. The article clarifies the distinction between different entities within the Aave ecosystem—Aave Group, Aave Labs, Aave DAO, and AAVE token holders—noting that an equity discussion in a related company does not equate to selling the protocol or transferring DAO control. It underscores the sensitivity of major DeFi protocols to strategic investment rumors and the importance of accurate terminology to avoid misleading readers. While strategic discussions are common in the crypto sector, Kulechov specifically denied the discounted sale framing. The situation highlights that future developments should be monitored via official Aave channels, and market reactions may depend on whether token holders view the denial as value-supportive or focus on potential future distributions. The key takeaway is the founder's rejection of the 70% discount story, while leaving room for strategic partnerships under different terms.

XRP’s Q3 prediction: How RLUSD’s liquidity shock can help price shoot up

XRP's Q3 price prediction hinges on RLUSD's significant liquidity concentration on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Data shows RLUSD supply on XRPL now exceeds $804 million, overtaking Ethereum's share and comprising over 52% of its total supply. This liquidity shift is driven by RLUSD's regulatory approval in Japan and strong on-chain inflows, contrasting with stablecoin outflows on Ethereum. Technical analysis notes a range-bound XRP/ETH ratio, while institutional capital flows also favor XRP, with spot ETF inflows versus Ethereum outflows. This convergence of factors suggests a potential breakout for XRP, with price targets looking toward the $1.5-$2 range in Q3.

Dogecoin looks weak, yet buyers lurk: Decline ahead or surprise rally?

Dogecoin (DOGE) shows a weak market structure, breaking below key support levels and trading 90% below its all-time high. Technical indicators like the rejection below the 200-day MA and negative Chaikin Money Flow point to continued bearish dominance. However, a TD Sequential buy signal and a recent 98.85% surge in net volume suggest some underlying buying interest and a potential pause in the downtrend, contingent on holding above $0.073. Further weakness is evidenced by extremely low ETF inflows, with only two days of net positive inflows totaling $863K over the past month, aligning with the broader market decline. The short-term path remains unclear between further decline and a surprise rally.
