The crypto market is closely watching developments around Ethereum 2.0 as it is set to introduce a major upgrade around June 2022.

The crypto market is closely watching developments around Ethereum 2.0 as it is set to introduce a major upgrade around June 2022. As we proceed towards ‘The Merge’ one of the key positive development is the drop in the ETH fee.
As per on-chain data provider Santiment, the ETH fee has dropped by a staggering 90% over the last six months alleviating user concerns. It adds that this could have also contributed to the ETH price surge. The data provider mentions:
Ethereum fees have been much more affordable than we’ve seen for the past 8+ months. The average gas fee sits at just $5.81. For comparison, average fees bloated to $69.57 on May 11, 2021, and $62.85 on November 8, 2021.

Besides, data provider Santiment also mentions that Ethereum (ETH) has been showing a greater correlation to the S&P 500 over Bitcoin (BTC). It adds:
Ethereum, not Bitcoin, is the top asset staying tightly correlated to the #SP500‘s performance. And since the #FOMC announcement 3 weeks ago, this has been good news for $ETH. Watch if #fed news causes any downswings for the May #FOMC update.

Courtesy: Santiment In the case of a Fed rate hike, the equity market can head for a correction in the short term. We can see the same spillover in the crypto market and the price of Ethereum (ETH). Crypto market analyst Michäel van de Poppe states that in case of a correction, ETH has a buy zone at around $3,100 levels.
This is what I mean on #Ethereum.
Might be that we're looking for that HL in the coming week if the market starts to make a slight correction.
If it continues, I'm looking for the green area around $3,100 (just below the recent low) to take the liquidity and reverse. pic.twitter.com/ALyjXs5lGm

Ethereum 2.0 and The Merge
One of the key developments around Ethereum has been the introduction of the EIP-1559 protocol which introduces a burn mechanism and brings deflationary pressure on the Ethereum (ETH) price. Market analyst Lark Davis explains:
“At -2.8% supply growth a year post Merge, #ethereum will see about 3.3 million ETH a year burned. By the end of the decade total ETH supply will drop under 100 million. Or put another way, we will burn the equivalent of ALL ETH currently sitting on exchanges!!!!”
He further adds that when Ethereum 2.0 staking feature went live last year, the ETH price appreciated by 68%. Davis expects some major ETH price surge post the upgrade in June.
When #ethereum 2.0 staking went live the price rallied by 68% in the month leading up to it, and then by nearly 600% in the following 6 months.
Next major ETH upgrade coming at the end of June… pic.twitter.com/xMiybBg4OB

If You’re Waiting For The Bitcoin Bottom, This Pundit Says You Should Be Looking At This Quarter

Bitcoin is currently testing the $60,000 support level, with market sentiment in "extreme fear." Crypto analyst Ardi points to a historical pattern where Bitcoin has bottomed in the fourth quarter during previous bear market cycles (e.g., November 2014, December 2018, November 2022). Given that it's only the second quarter of 2026, this suggests the current correction may not yet be over. The current correction is 245 days old, shorter than previous cycles. Other analysts like Benjamin Cowen, Ali Martinez, and CryptoQuant also align on a late 2026 bottom (around October-December), citing cycle durations and technical indicators. BTC is currently trading near $63,000, down over 6% in 24 hours and at risk of breaking below $60,000 due to ongoing ETF outflows.

Should You Buy SpaceX Stock at $1.7 Trillion? Here's What the Market Is Worried About

SpaceX is preparing for a massive IPO aiming to raise around $75 billion at a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion. While its achievements in reusable rockets and the profitable Starlink satellite internet service are clear, the market is concerned about the aggressive valuation. Key issues include: the current $1.75 trillion valuation, which is about 94 times 2025 revenue, seems to price in not just existing businesses but also unproven future ventures like AI infrastructure and orbital data centers. Financially, while Starlink is profitable, the AI division, bolstered by the acquisition of xAI, is incurring massive losses and consuming the majority of capital expenditures. This acquisition also introduced complex related-party financing arrangements and debt onto SpaceX's balance sheet. Furthermore, corporate governance poses a challenge. SpaceX's dual-class share structure ensures founder Elon Musk retains absolute control, limiting ordinary shareholders' influence over high-risk, long-term strategic decisions. The future success of ambitious projects like the Starship rocket—critical for lowering costs and enabling new services—remains a significant variable for the valuation. In summary, the market's apprehension (FUD) centers not on doubting SpaceX's past technological triumphs but on questioning how much premium public investors should pay for a future that combines proven profits with highly speculative and capital-intensive new ventures, all under a governance structure that offers limited shareholder oversight.

Breaking the DeFi Cascading Liquidation Curse: Vitalik Proposes a New Solution

Vitalik Buterin has proposed a new DeFi design to eliminate the automatic liquidation mechanism that causes market instability during sharp downturns. The current system, used by protocols like Aave, triggers forced sales when collateral value falls below a threshold, often exacerbating price drops and creating systemic selling pressure. Buterin's alternative model is based on splitting an asset like ETH into two synthetic option-like tokens, P and N, pegged to a price index. Their combined value always equals one ETH. Instead of sudden liquidation, a position's value gradually drifts from its target peg if the market moves. Users must proactively rebalance their holdings to maintain their desired exposure, transferring the management burden from the protocol to the user or automated tools. A key advantage is the reduced reliance on real-time oracles. Pricing decisions are deferred until contract expiry, allowing for more robust, fault-tolerant oracle designs. This removes a clear liquidation threshold that speculators can target for manipulation or MEV extraction. However, significant challenges remain. Frequent rebalancing could incur high slippage and transaction costs, necessitating new liquidity provider models. The design is better suited for hedging instruments than for stablecoins requiring a rigid 1:1 peg. While not an immediate replacement for existing systems, the proposal challenges the foundational assumption that instantaneous forced liquidation is an unavoidable necessity in DeFi, opening the door for fundamentally different risk management architectures.

The End of Single-Factor Cryptography

The article "The End of Single-Factor Crypto" posits a fundamental shift in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It argues the era where crypto asset valuations were predominantly driven by, and correlated with, Bitcoin's price is ending. The space is bifurcating into two distinct economies: endogenous and exogenous. The endogenous economy represents traditional crypto, where token and project values are directly tied to crypto market prices. The emerging exogenous economy comprises projects and businesses that may utilize blockchain technology or tokens but derive their fundamental value from external, non-crypto factors like consumer demand, subscription revenue, or real-world utility. Examples include AI inference platforms like Venice, fintech lenders using blockchain for efficiency, and stablecoin/payment infrastructure companies acquired by giants like Mastercard and Stripe. This shift means investment analysis must change. For exogenous assets, evaluating traditional business fundamentals—such as revenue streams, unit economics, and competitive moats—becomes more critical than tracking Bitcoin charts. While endogenous assets like Bitcoin remain relevant, the growth of the exogenous category is driven by measurable demand independent of crypto price cycles, paving the way for a new, more diversified market phase. Consequently, crypto is evolving from a single-factor, reflexive asset class into a multifaceted ecosystem with varied drivers and investment theses.
