Solana’s TPS is 46 times faster than Ethereum and 5 times faster than Polygon.

Research from CoinGecko shows that Solana is the fastest of the major blockchains, with its actual daily average transactions per second (TPS) reaching an all-time high of 1,504 on April 6, 2023, as the memecoin craze took off. Such statistics make Solana approximately 46 times faster than Ethereum and 5 times faster than Polygon.
To determine the fastest blockchains, Coingecko’s research analyzed the processing speeds of the top 30 blockchains ranked by total value locked (TVL) on DefiLlama as of May 15, 2024. Processing speed is measured using the actual or realized transactions per second (TPS) metric, calculated as a daily average to ensure standardized comparisons across as many blockchains as possible.

Today, $2.1 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options will be liquidated. The expiration of these cryptocurrency options contracts is particularly interesting because it will occur after the release of the US core Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.
How will this affect the prices of these digital assets and broader crypto market volatility?
How does the recent US inflation data affect the cryptocurrency options market?
About $1.18 million in 18,183 Bitcoin options contracts are set to expire. This batch is very similar to the 18,359 contracts that settled last week.
Deribit data shows that the ratio of put options to call options for Bitcoin is 0.62. This figure indicates that buying options (call options) are more common than selling options (put options).

Dogecoin price holds support
After a steady rise, Dogecoin price faced resistance near the $0.160 area. A high of $0.1594 was formed before DOGE started a downside correction like bitcoin and Ethereum. It declined below the $0.1540 support area.
A low was formed at $0.1488 and DOGE is currently consolidating for its next move. Dogecoin is still trading above the $0.150 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is also a key bullish trend line formed with support at $0.1485 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair.

1. Lazy people’s hoarding strategy
This method is simple and easy. You only need to buy digital currency and hold it for a long time to avoid frequent transactions. Wait for half a year or a year, and the income may increase significantly, or even double. However, many novices tend to be impatient when facing price fluctuations, and frequent transactions will affect their income. Therefore, being able to resist not trading for several months has shown good concentration.
2. Bull market chasing strategy
This strategy is especially useful during a bull market. Use some of your idle funds (no more than one-fifth of your total funds is recommended) to trade cryptocurrencies with a market value between 20 and 100. When a currency rises by 50% or more, consider switching to other currencies that have fallen more. By looping, you can get good returns in a bull market. Even if the first currency is stuck, don't worry too much, because a bull market usually brings about an overall market rise. But be sure to choose the currency carefully and avoid choosing cryptocurrencies of poor quality.

Prominent cryptocurrency analysts have recently expressed bullish sentiment on Ethereum ($ETH ), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, with one analyst stating that the price of Ethereum will surge above $10,000 by the end of the year.
Michaël van de Poppe, a cryptocurrency analyst with over 700,000 followers on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), expressed optimism that ETH could reach higher support levels, adding that “good times have been here for a few weeks” after noting that ETH is “in the final stages of a correction.”

Ethereum (ETH) prices came under pressure on Thursday and have now fallen from above $3,040 to around $2,930, with daily trading volume currently at $13.5 billion, down 3.3%, according to Yahoo Finance.
Ethereum has now all but erased its gains following Wednesday’s U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) release as bearish sentiment floods back into the market.
Ethereum price has just hit a new three-year low following the recent death cross in the ETH/BTC pair.
In a report on Wednesday, Coinbase research analyst David Han gave several reasons for ETH’s underperformance.

Neel Somani, founder of Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain Eclipse, has been removed as chief executive officer (CEO) following sexual misconduct allegations. Eclipse Labs announced that Vijay Chetty, the company’s chief growth office (CGO), will serve as the new CEO, taking over Somani’s duties.

In the X post, the company highlighted Chetty’s decade-long trajectory in the crypto industry, having held leadership roles at Uniswap Labs, dYdX Trading, and Ripple Labs. Additionally, the Eclipse team explained that the new CEO played a “pivotal role” in building the community, investor, and partner base for Ethereum-based projects.

Ethereum has gained some strength, but the current situation has not caused any relief. News Thursday

Ethereum has broken through $3,000, but the current situation shows that the second largest cryptocurrency on the market may still face some trouble. The price has already begun to reverse immediately, and if Ether falls below $3,000 again, it may face additional selling pressure.

Currently, Ethereum is trading around $3,005, with resistance levels at $3,200 and $3,400. If ETH can break through these levels, it could signal a stronger bullish trend than it currently has. However, if Ethereum falls below $3,000, support levels to watch are $2,900 and $2,800. A break below these levels could indicate an intensifying bearish trend.

On-chain analyst Willy Woo has expressed bullish sentiment on Bitcoin ( BTC) in the coming months.
Woo told his 1.1 million followers on social media platform X that he expects Bitcoin to break out by October this year.
Woo said the ensuing 2025 Bitcoin rally will be “a record-breaking one.” The on-chain analyst said the rally will be driven by increased global liquidity, which is generally good for risk assets.
“Global liquidity forms a bullish ascending triangle.”

An ascending triangle usually forms when a horizontal resistance area is tested continuously while continuously making higher lows. A bullish ascending triangle is confirmed when the horizontal resistance level is broken.

Bitcoin’s price action had been rather lackluster for a few days, but massive ETF flows coupled with positive U.S. CPI data led to a massive rally that pushed the cryptocurrency to a three-week peak of over $66,000.
The story is very similar for altcoins, with most turning green on a daily basis. ETH surpassed $3,000, with SOL and NEAR surging by double digits.
Bitcoin surges above $66,000
The primary digital asset fell sharply to just above $61,000 on Friday after failing to break above the $64,000 level. It took advantage of a relatively quiet weekend to regain some attention and remain around $61,000.
