The post The altcoin depression: Ex-BTC/ETH market down 23% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Strip Bitcoin and Ethereum out of the crypto market and what remains has shed almost a quarter of its value in the first half of 2026, falling to $666 billion while liquidity retreats into a handful of survivors. This is not a crash; crashes end. It is something slower and stranger: a depression in the long tail of crypto, with its own causes, its own refugees, and its own short list of assets that refuse to participate. Summary The ex-Bitcoin and ex-Ethereum crypto market lost nearly 23% in the first half of 2026. Liquidity is retreating from the long tail into Bitcoin, stablecoins, and a few assets with stronger revenue mechanisms. The current altcoin downturn looks more like a slow structural depression than a fast liquidation crash. Token supply glut, ETF-driven institutional access, and the rise of perpetual trading have weakened broad altcoin demand. The main survivors are tokens with

The post Pricing houses in bitcoin (BTC) exposes dollar’s debasement: Crypto Daily appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The price of a family home in the U.S. tells two very different stories depending on how it’s measured. Comparing the stories underscores bitcoin’s BTC$62,590.77 appeal as a long-term hedge against dollar debasement, the erosion of value in the fiat currency. According to Fidelity Digital Assets, a typical U.S. house has gained more than $100,000 since 2020. That house-price appreciation is said to generate a positive wealth effect, an economic phenomenon where rising home values make homeowners feel wealthier. Feeling wealthier, they spend more, borrow more and boost the economy even if their actual income remains unchanged. But what if the gain is just a mirage? Price the same house in bitcoin and the narrative shifts sharply. What required more than 50 BTC in 2020 now costs just 5 BTC, a 90% decline. “What appears to be appreciation in housing is more accurately a
The post Peter Schiff: Bitcoiners Are In Denial About Strategy’s BTC Sale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Schiff’s warning centers on market psychology, arguing Strategy’s sale could change how investors view BTC’s long-term support. Peter Schiff used his podcast this week to argue that BTC holders are ignoring what Strategy’s decision to sell some of its stack means for the asset. According to him, the company built by Michael Saylor was the real floor under Bitcoin’s price, and that floor is now gone. Schiff Says Strategy’s Selling Exposes the Real Backbone of Crypto In the hour-long episode aired on YouTube on July 9 and covering everything from the reported collapse of the Iran peace deal to the DOGE shutdown, Schiff claimed that Bitcoin supporters were being willfully blind to Strategy’s changing role in the market. According to him, the firm’s buying had become a major source of demand that helped support BTC’s price. “Bitcoiners are delusional right now, or in denial abou

The post Whales bought 270K BTC as ETFs bled $7B: Who wins? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
In the two weeks around Bitcoin’s fall to a 21-month low, whale wallets absorbed roughly $16.7 billion of coins while the spot ETFs suffered their worst outflow month on record. The two most powerful forces in Bitcoin’s market structure are positioned in opposite directions, and the resolution of that disagreement is the Bitcoin trade for the rest of 2026. Here is the case for each side, and the tape that will settle it. Summary Bitcoin’s latest drawdown created a sharp split between ETF sellers and whale buyers. Spot ETFs posted record outflows while whale wallets accumulated roughly 270,000 BTC near the lows. The bear case is that ETFs have become a major supply source in Bitcoin’s new market structure. The bull case is that whale accumulation near capitulation levels has historically marked major bottom zones. The next clear signal will come from ETF flow trends, whale wallet behavior, f
