According to EIP-9678, introduced on April 23 by Ethereum Foundation dev Sophia Gold, the proposal aims to test raising Ethereum’s gas limit to 150 million, a significant leap from the current ~36 million.
This upgrade could mark the largest gas limit expansion in Ethereum’s history, reflecting developers' growing appetite for layer 1 scalabilit
Ethereum Records Historic Inflow of 449K ETH, But Faces Bearish Challenges
On April 22, Ethereum saw a record 449,000 ETH flow into accumulation addresses, marking the highest single-day inflow in Ethereum’s history. This surge, valued at approximately $1,750 per $ETH , signals strong conviction from long-term holders despite recent price declines.
However, many of these holders remain underwater, with the realized price for accumulation addresses sitting at $1,981—above the current market price. This suggests that while optimism is strong, many are still holding at a

Dogecoin Celebrates ‘Dogeday’ as ETF Decisions Loom
Dogecoin enthusiasts are marking “Dogeday” on April 20 — a community celebration that began in 2021 — just as the memecoin faces a potentially pivotal moment with the U.S. SEC reviewing multiple Dogecoin ETF filings.
Despite being often labeled a “joke coin,” Dogecoin ($DOGE ) holds firm as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency, boasting a $23.3 billion market cap. Its inflationary design, minting 14.4 million $DOGE daily, results in over $2.16 million worth of new tokens entering circulation each
XRP Risks 40–50% Drop as Bearish Patterns Take Shape
$XRP ’s recent 30% rebound from a four-month low of $1.61 to $2.08 may be running out of steam, as both technical and on-chain signals now point toward a significant correction. 🔻 Inverse Cup-and-Handle Forming XRP is developing a bearish inverse cup-and-handle pattern, which suggests a potential 40% decline toward $1.24. This level aligns closely with the 200-3D EMA (~$1.28) and previous resistance from late 2024 — making it a critical zone to watch.
Crypto Price Predictions for April 18: BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA, LEO, LINK, AVAX
Bitcoin (BTC) and top altcoins continue to consolidate within tight ranges, suggesting that a major move could be on the horizon. While price action has been subdued, analysts remain optimistic for both BTC and altcoins heading into Q2 2025.
Bitcoin ($BTC ) is holding above $83K but remains sandwiched between the 20-day EMA and 200-day SMA. A breakout above $87.8K could open the door to $95K or even $100K, while a breakdown risks revisiting the $73.7K support.
Bitcoin Struggles at $86K as Fed Rate Cut Hopes Dwindle
Bitcoin’s price is facing heavy resistance around $86,000, with bulls unable to push past it following Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish comments on April 16. Powell dismissed hopes for early rate cuts, citing uncertainty from Trump’s tariff policies and ongoing inflation concerns. Despite several attempts since April 9, $BTC has failed to close above $86K, remaining locked in a tight range. On-chain and macro analysts warn that unless Bitcoin reclaims key technical levels, deeper corrections co
Ethereum’s Layer-2 Scaling Could Impact ETH Value, Warns Binance Research
Ethereum’s push toward Layer-2 (L2) scalability could be a “double-edged sword” for Ether ($ETH ), potentially reducing the value accrual to the Ethereum mainnet, according to a recent report by Binance Research. While L2 networks aim to improve Ethereum’s scalability and lower transaction costs, they may also fragment liquidity and developer attention, leading to a decrease in Ether’s demand. Binance Research noted that competitors like Solana and BNB Smart Chain are gaining ground in the decen

How USDT Minting and Burning Reflect Bitcoin’s Price Cycles
Over the past decade, Tether's USDT issuance patterns have mirrored Bitcoin’s price movements, making it a useful—though debated—market sentiment gauge.
Data from Whale Alert highlights how USDT mints often precede or accompany Bitcoin bull runs. For instance, in late 2024, large mints coincided with BTC’s surge from $66K to over $106K. A notable $6B mint on Nov. 6 followed a rebound to $75K, with another $15B+ minted during the rally to $99K and beyond.

Crypto Market Recap : Bitcoin Rebounds, But Challenges Ahead
Bitcoin (BTC) staged a sharp recovery from a low of $74,500 on April 7, rebounding to trade around $78,000 after panic-selling triggered by a U.S. stock market downturn. The Fear & Greed Index for U.S. equities plunged to just 4/100, signaling extreme fear — often a precursor to a reversal.
Despite the bounce, BTC faces strong resistance and may struggle to break above key levels without bullish confirmation. A move above the resistance trendline could push BTC to $89,000–$95,000, while a drop
