boss

Bitcoin is showing tentative signs of stabilization after its pullback from $74,000, but Glassnode says the recovery still lacks the ingredients of a decisive bullish turn. In its March 9 Weekly Market Pulse, the analytics firm described a market that is improving at the margins even as spot participation, capital flows and broader conviction remain subdued. Glassnode’s overview is cautiously constructive, but only up to a point. The firm wrote, “ETF activity remains a relative area of strength. Net inflows accelerated and trading volumes picked up.” In the same breath,…

Bitcoin’s Quantum Defense Plan: What BIP-360 Actually Changes

boss

Key takeaways BIP-360 formally puts quantum resistance on Bitcoin’s road map for the first time. It represents a measured, incremental step rather than a dramatic cryptographic overhaul. Quantum risk primarily targets exposed public keys, not Bitcoin’s SHA-256 hashing, making public key exposure the central vulnerability developers aim to reduce. BIP-360 introduces Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), which removes Taproot’s key path spending option and forces all spends through script paths to minimize elliptic curve exposure. Smart contract flexibility remains intact, as P2MR still supports multisig, timelocks and complex custody structures via Tapscript Merkle…

boss

Ether (ETH) has dropped roughly 65% against Bitcoin (BTC) since Ethereum’s 2022 shift to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), casting doubt on the network’s “ultrasound money” thesis. Key takeaways: ETH/BTC three-day performance chart. Source: TradingView Ether’s ultrasound money narrative disappoints The idea behind “ultrasound money” was that Ether would become even scarcer than Bitcoin. Supporters argued that Ethereum’s 2021 EIP-1559 upgrade, which began burning a portion of transaction fees, combined with the sharp decline in new ETH issuance following the 2022 Merge, would make Ether deflationary over time. ETH’s new annual supply rate…

boss

Arthur Hayes is making a high-conviction bet on Hyperliquid, arguing in a new essay that HYPE could climb to $150 by August 2026 even if the broader crypto backdrop stays weak. His case rests on a familiar exchange-token playbook, but updated for a market where decentralized perps, not centralized venues, are increasingly capturing the most valuable trading flow. Why Hayes Thinks Hyperliquid Can Reach $150 Hayes frames Hyperliquid as the standout asset in a sluggish or sideways market because exchanges can keep generating fees regardless of whether prices are rising.…
