The post Ethereum Treasury Firm Sharplink Releases Q1 Earnings, Holds Over $2B In ETH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Sharplink, an Ethereum treasury company, announced its Q1 earnings results for FY26 on Monday, May 11. It revealed holding over $2 billion worth of ETH despite the massive unrealized losses. Overview of Sharplink’s Q1 Earnings Report For the quarter that ended March 31, 2026, SharpLink posted a net loss of $685.6 million. It represents a huge increase than the net loss of $1 million in the same period last year. The company attributed the drop to mainly the non-cash crypto-related charges related to its Ethereum treasury business. The ETH price decline in the first quarter led to a humongous loss of $506.7 million. In addition, a loss of $191.7 million was recorded for the LsETH holdings. However, the ETH treasury losses are unrealized as the company sticks to its HODL strategy. Part of these losses were offset by $12 million in realized gains from ETH-to-LsETH con
The altcoin market is gaining strength as a growing number of assets beyond the major names have begun pushing higher, drawing attention back to the broader ecosystem after months of Bitcoin-dominated price action. GugaOnchain has identified a specific signal in the volume data that suggests the shift may be more structural than it first appears.

The signal is generated when the 30-day moving average of altcoin trading volume crosses above its 365-day moving average — a condition that filters out short-term noise and identifies sustained, trend-level increases in altcoin participation rather than isolated spikes driven by a single asset or event
Tom Lee has slowed Bitmine ETH purchases after the firm amassed over 5.2 million tokens and 4.3% of Ethereum’s supply. Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) bought 26,659 ETH last week worth roughly $63 million, sharply down from the more than 100,000…
The post If metrics favor Solana, why does institutional capital choose Ethereum? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
What compels an institutional heavyweight to launch a product on a particular blockchain? At a fundamental level, institutions tend to evaluate core infrastructure metrics such as transaction speed, execution costs, and settlement finality when choosing a Layer-1 network. The logic is simple: Faster confirmation times and lower fees allow a blockchain to handle higher transaction throughput, which directly supports a smoother user experience. Viewed through this lens, Solana [SOL] stands out. As the chart below shows, Solana processed 696 million transactions over the past week. Every other chain combined processed about 593 million. One network alone generated more activity than the rest of crypto, accounting for 54% of total on-chain transactions. Source: Token Terminal As discussed earlier, high transaction volume is often a direct reflection of a chain’s underlying
The post Ethereum Cools Off Below $2,450 – Lower Leverage Sets The Stage For A Breakout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum is testing resistance as the market heats up and buyers attempt to force a decisive break above the level that has capped the recovery for nearly a month. The price action is building toward a resolution — and top analyst Darkfost has examined the derivatives data behind the current setup in a way that adds structural context to both the consolidation and what it might take to end it. Ethereum has been trading between $2,250 and $2,450 for close to a month, a range that formed immediately after a 33% rally from the February lows. That rally was not quiet. Open interest increased by approximately $4.5 billion during the move, confirming a significant resurgence in derivatives participation. What Darkfost identifies as particularly revealing is the funding rate picture throughout the same period. Despite the 33% rally, the surge in open interest, and the e

The post Boundary’s USBD aims to turn stablecoins into an on-chain “verifiable” dollar appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Galaxy Ventures‑backed Boundary Labs is preparing to launch USBD, an over‑collateralized Ethereum stablecoin that swaps monthly attestations for continuous on‑chain verification of reserves and net asset value while pushing yield into a separate sUSBD token aimed at institutional risk‑takers. Summary Boundary raised 2 million dollars from Galaxy Ventures, First Block Capital, BlackWood and crypto funds to build USBD, an institutional‑grade stablecoin that makes reserves and NAV visible on‑chain in real time. USBD will be over‑collateralized on Ethereum and pay no yield; a separate sUSBD token will capture protocol earnings from delta‑neutral DeFi strategies, cleanly separating “cash‑like” settlement from risk‑bearing returns. Boundary Labs, a Galaxy Ventures–backed startup, is preparing to launch USBD, an institutional-grade stablecoin built around continuous on-c
