The Ethereum price drop has been really concerning for investors as we head toward the end of Q1, with ETH plummeting about 39% against Bitcoin to reach a five-year low. At the time of writing, the ETH/BTC ratio is sitting at just 0.02191, which breaks a lot of the historical patterns we’ve seen in Ethereum vs Bitcoin performance during these post-halving periods. This dramatic ETH market crash is happening during what’s typically a pretty strong quarter for the asset, and it’s definitely raising some serious concerns about broader crypto market volatility as we’re heading into Q2.

The growth of the cryptocurrency sector has been one of the key developments in the United States already this year. That has led many of the asset classes’ biggest believers to double down on the market’s potential. Chief among them is Michael Saylor, whose Strategy has purchased another $584 million worth of Bitcoin. Formerly known as MicroStrategy, the Saylor-led firm has been one of the foremost BTC believers. Indeed, the firm was among the first to adopt an accumulation strategy that embraced the upside of the leading cryptocurrency. Now, with its latest purchase, the firm’s holdings have surpassed 500,000 Bitcoin in a monumental move.

Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump, is shilling cryptocurrencies again, this time saying it’s a great time to buy Bitcoin, sending the king of cryptos past $98k in Asian trading. “Feels like a great time to enter BTC,” Eric Trump wrote in a Feb. 6 post on X, while tagging World Liberty Financial’s official X account. World Liberty is the Trump family’s decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Bitcoin Breaks Above $98K After Eric Trump Comments Shortly after the post by Eric Trump, the price of the largest crypto by market cap rose from $96,900 to above $98,000, where it continued to trade as of 3:30 a.m. EST. This marked a less than 1% 24-hour gain for the Bitcoin price, which is still down over 6% on the weekly time frame. Trump’s promotion of Bitcoin follows a Feb. 4 post on X in which he said it was a “great time to add” Ethereum (ETH). Shortly after that post, the leading altcoin pumped 6%. In my opinion, it’s...

The crypto market rebounded more than 5% in the last 24 hours after US President Donald Trump agreed to put a temporary hold on proposed 25% import tariffs on Canada and Mexico. But China hit back with tariffs of 15% on coal and liquefied natural gas, and 10% on crude oil, farm equipment, large displacement vehicles and pickup trucks. It also began an anti-trust investigation into Google. Bitcoin and other major cryptos pared gains after the retaliatory measures were announced. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a Feb.3 post on X that Trump agreed to pause tariffs on his nation for at least 30 days. He added that the US and Canada would work together and implement a $1.3 billion border plan that includes appointing a Fentanyl czar, listing cartels as terrorists and reinforcing the US-Canada border with helicopters and more staff.

Whenever the price of Ethereum approaches 0.03 per bitcoin (BTC), it usually means that something entertaining is happening or about to happen in crypto. The price level is notable for many reasons and somewhat storied in crypto history. From its debut in 2015 through the spring of 2016 — long before crypto was mainstream — Ethereum tried to gain listings on exchanges catering almost exclusively to BTC purists who scoffed at the fledgling project. Struggling to even attain a single-digit dollar price , ether (ETH) tried to breach the 0.03 per BTC ceiling on two, failed occasions in March and May. Efforts to ascend languished for another year. Then finally, in the spring of 2017, Ethereum’s lead founder Vitalik Buterin convinced enough investors to take an interest in the project above 0.03 per BTC. His catalyst? Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard and its associated initial coin offerings (ICOs). ETH tried to breach the 0.03 per BTC ceiling on two, failed occasio...

As MicroStrategy (MSTR) continues to dilute and supersede common shareholders to add bitcoin (BTC) to its balance sheet, company insiders continue to sell into their bids. While its leaders boast about the company’s long-term prospects, multi-million dollar BTC price forecasts, and accretive BTC purchases, many well-informed executives are selling shares for personal compensation. A recent post on the MSTR subreddit, citing data from November, reignited concerns about Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 4 filings by insiders that have disclosed millions of dollars worth of insider liquidations. Bulls were quick to point out the time delay of that data as well as the positive net effect of MicroStrategy’s dilutive share sales to date. To be sure, the net result of MicroStrategy’s corporate and insider share sales over the past five years have been indisputably positive for shareholders. Not only has MSTR rallied over 2,000% over that time period, but its BTC hold...
