ETHZilla crashes 97%, Thiel exits the ‘Ethereum Treasury’ model

ETHZilla, once a prominent corporate crypto firm known for holding large amounts of Ethereum as its core strategy, has collapsed by 97% from its peak. Billionaire investor Peter Thiel and his Founders Fund sold their entire 7.5% stake, marking a dramatic shift. The company has abandoned its Ethereum treasury model, selling $74.5 million worth of ETH to reduce debt and pivot into aerospace investments. This move came amid severe Ethereum price volatility, where ETH fell from around $3,400 to $1,900 between January and February 2026, causing financial instability for ETHZilla. Despite this, other institutions like Bitmine Immersion Technologies and Harvard Management Company continue to hold or increase Ethereum exposure, indicating ongoing institutional interest despite market weakness.

Hyperliquid Launches DeFi Lobby in Washington

Hyperliquid has launched the Hyperliquid Policy Center in Washington, D.C., a new advocacy organization focused on decentralized finance (DeFi) policy. Led by CEO Jake Chervinsky, formerly of Variant and the Blockchain Association, the center aims to shape U.S. crypto regulation at a critical legislative moment. It will advocate for clear regulatory pathways for DeFi innovation, with a specific focus on perpetual derivatives and blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The Hyper Foundation, supporting Hyperliquid, has contributed 1 million HYPE tokens to fund the initiative. Chervinsky emphasized that decentralized technology offers superior efficiency and transparency and warned that the U.S. risks losing innovation leadership without thoughtful regulation. Hyperliquid CEO Jeff Yan described the current policy environment as pivotal and stressed the need for a unified industry voice. The founding team includes experienced policy professionals from the crypto and legal sectors. The move reflects a growing trend of crypto firms investing in lobbying as regulatory debates intensify, particularly around market structure laws and stablecoin provisions in Congress.

Not Your Fault for Not Understanding the Market: Traditional Crypto Indicators Are Failing

The article "When Old Maps No Longer Apply: 8 Failed Classic Crypto Indicators and Their Structural Causes" examines why traditional metrics used to predict cryptocurrency market behavior have become unreliable. Key indicators like the four-year cycle theory (halving events), Pi Cycle Top, MVRV Z-Score, Rainbow Chart, Altcoin Season Index, Fear and Greed Index, NVT Ratio, and Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model have all underperformed or failed entirely in the 2024-2025 market cycle. The author attributes this collective failure to deep structural shifts in the crypto market: - **Institutionalization**: The influx of institutional capital via ETFs and corporate treasuries has created steady demand, smoothing out the volatile, retail-driven price swings these indicators relied on. - **Reduced Volatility**: Lower volatility means indicators depending on extreme price movements (e.g., Pi Cycle Top, Rainbow Chart) no longer trigger. - **Shift in Asset Class**: Bitcoin is increasingly influenced by macro factors (e.g., Fed policy, global liquidity) rather than on-chain events like halvings. - **Data Relevance**: On-chain data (e.g., for NVT, MVRV) is less representative due to Layer 2 solutions, internal exchange settlements, and ETF custody models. - **Scalability Issues**: As Bitcoin's market cap grew, fixed thresholds (e.g., MVRV Z-Score >7) became mathematically harder to hit. The conclusion is that these indicators were built on limited historical data and assumptions that no longer hold. Investors are advised to understand the limitations of these tools and adapt to a new market reality driven by institutional dynamics and macroeconomics.

RIVER tanks 32% in 24 hours, but are more losses ahead?

RIVER (RIVER) experienced a significant 32% price drop in 24 hours, breaking a key support level at $11.20 and trading at $8.51. Despite the decline, trading volume surged over 110% to $90.95 million, indicating strong market interest. On-chain data shows exchange reserves increased by 7.08%, suggesting potential sell-off preparations, while derivatives activity reveals growing bullish sentiment among intraday traders. Key support is now at $8.25; a break below could lead to a further 48% decline, while holding above may trigger a recovery. Analysts warn of a possible drop to $7.50 if bearish momentum continues. The ADX reading of 18.89 indicates weak directional momentum.

Peter Thiel Dumps Ethereum Treasury Play ETHZilla, Exits Entire Stake

Peter Thiel and entities linked to Founders Fund have completely exited their position in ETHZilla, a publicly traded company that initially positioned itself as an Ethereum treasury play. A recent SEC filing shows the group held zero common shares as of Dec. 31, 2025, eliminating a stake that previously amounted to 5.6% of the class. This exit coincides with ETHZilla's strategic pivot away from holding ETH and toward tokenized real-world assets, such as aircraft engine leases. The timing raises questions about whether Thiel’s departure preceded the company’s shift in strategy. Commentators on social media have noted Thiel’s history of exiting positions ahead of market downturns. At the time of reporting, Ethereum was trading at $1,984.

Dragonfly: Crypto Was Not Made for Humans

Crypto Was Not Made for Humans: A Summary Dragonfly Capital partner Haseeb Qureshi argues that cryptocurrency was not designed for human use, but rather for AI agents. Despite being a crypto-native firm, Dragonfly still relies on legal contracts over smart contracts for investments, highlighting that traditional systems are built for human fallibility—featuring safeguards, reversibility, and intuitive interfaces that crypto lacks. Crypto, with its rigid, deterministic, and code-based nature, is error-prone for humans, leading to fears around transactions, phishing, and irreversible mistakes. However, these very traits make it ideal for AI. AI agents can perfectly verify transactions, audit contracts, and operate within crypto’s 24/7, borderless, and self-sovereign environment. They prefer code over ambiguous legal systems, which are slow and unpredictable. Qureshi envisions a future of "self-driving" wallets where AI agents handle all financial interactions, navigating DeFi protocols on behalf of users. These agents will also transact with each other autonomously, forming an economy of non-human participants—a reality already emerging with projects like Moltbook and Conway Research. In conclusion, crypto’s perceived flaws are not shortcomings but indications that humans are not the intended users. Within a decade, direct human interaction with crypto may seem archaic, as AI agents become the primary interface, unlocking the technology’s full potential.

After Raising $650 Million, Dragonfly Believes Crypto Was Not Made for Humans

Dragonfly Capital partner Haseeb Qureshi argues that cryptocurrency was not designed for humans but is instead the ideal financial system for AI agents. Despite being a crypto-native firm, Dragonfly still relies on legal contracts over smart contracts for investments, highlighting that traditional systems are built for human fallibility—featuring safeguards, reversibility, and intuitive interfaces. Crypto, by contrast, is rigid, error-prone, and unforgiving, with complex addresses, gas fees, and irreversible transactions posing significant risks to human users. Qureshi posits that AI agents are the natural users of crypto: they operate with precision, trust code over ambiguous legal systems, and can verify transactions instantly. Unlike humans, AI can navigate crypto ecosystem autonomously, negotiating and executing binding agreements via smart contracts within minutes. Crypto’s global, permissionless, and deterministic nature makes it perfect for AI-to-AI economic activity, which is already emerging with projects like Moltbook and Conway Research’s autonomous agents. He predicts the future interface for crypto will be “self-driving” wallets managed by AI, which will handle financial tasks on behalf of users. This shift will transform how protocols compete and market themselves. In a decade, humans may look back in astonishment that they ever interacted directly with crypto—its true potential unlocked only when its complementary technology, AI, arrived.

$91M Ethereum Buy: Bitmine Immersion Bets Big On ETH Even As Market Volatility Persists

Despite heightened bearish pressure and market volatility keeping Ethereum's price just below $2,000, Bitmine Immersion has made a significant $91 million investment in ETH, acquiring 45,759 tokens. This purchase increases their total holdings to 4.37 million ETH, representing approximately 3.6% of the entire circulating supply. Despite sitting on $8 billion in unrealized losses with a blended cost basis of $3,821 per ETH, the firm continues to accumulate rather than exercise caution. Over 3.04 million of their ETH is staked to generate yield while they wait for market conditions to improve. Their strategy mirrors a structural supply reduction, potentially shaping ETH market outlook. At the time of writing, ETH was trading near $1,998.

From sell-offs to staking rewards – Inside Grayscale’s strategic SUI move!

Wall Street is increasingly participating in crypto, with institutions entering risk assets via ETFs. Grayscale launched a staking SUI ETF (GSUI) on February 18, drawing attention to Sui despite its poor performance—down 31% in 2026 after a 57% loss the previous year, erasing all post-election gains. Open interest dropped nearly 30%, indicating reduced trader activity. Amid this bearish trend, Grayscale’s staking ETF offers a twist: investors can stake tokens for rewards, potentially attracting validators and boosting SUI’s DeFi ecosystem. However, challenges remain—Total Value Locked has fallen to $580 million, and 43.35 million SUI tokens unlock on March 1, risking further volatility and a potential drop to $0.70. The ETF’s ability to revive SUI’s ecosystem is uncertain under current pressures.
