boss

As Bitcoin’s price surges back into headlines, fueled by TradFi institutions and corporations gobbling up all the supply, so too have fears increased among decentralization purists. Is this validation of Bitcoin’s long-term value or the beginning of its co-option by the very forces it was created to resist? It’s an important distinction. Institutional adoption may appear to popularize Bitcoin, but top Asian influencer Sky Wee argues it’s the opposite; he is firmly encamped in the Bitcoin evangelist camp. With more than 4 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook…

In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer…

Ethereum retakes 10% control of crypto market, but ETH bulls shouldn’t celebrate yet

boss

Key takeaways: Ethereum’s market dominance has hit overbought RSI levels not seen since May 2021, historically followed by major pullbacks. ETH/USD is showing a bearish divergence on the four-hour chart, hinting at a potential 10–15% price correction. Despite the near-term risks, some analysts view a pullback as a “buy-the-dip” setup before a possible move toward $3,500–$3,800. Ether (ETH) has surged over 50% month-to-date in May, vastly outperforming the broader crypto market’s 15.25% gain. The rally has pushed Ethereum’s market dominance (ETH.D) toward the critical 10% threshold for the first time…
