Ethereum’s price action in recent times has been lackluster to say the least, as it has been closely tracking that of Bitcoin as it trades within a wide and long-held range. Advertisements It does not appear that this is emblematic of the cryptocurrency’s long-term outlook, however, as one prominent venture capitalist is now noting that […]

Advertisements Open interest on Ethereum options contracts surged 315% to $158 million, but are investors using derivatives for bullish or bearish positions? Ether (ETH) options were launched over a year ago at Deribit derivatives exchange but they have only recently gained traction.

Advertisements In brief: Ethereum held the $228 support zone earlier this week when Bitcoin dropped to $9,110.

As some altcoins have managed to stay relatively calm, others have deviated from their ongoing positions and are slumping. Ethereum, the largest alt in the market has constantly hit resistance after resistance, while Chainlink and Tezos are feeling a […]

Despite maintaining a close call with Bitcoin, Ethereum has so far outperformed the benchmark cryptocurrency in the two quarters of 2020. This was also evident when the world’s largest altcoin bounced back, before testing any crucial support, following the latest market dip. It would seem thus, that Ethereum is well on its way towards recuperating […]

Advertisements As observed in the chart below, since the start of January, the rate of ETH network utilization has grown at pace, and despite the market crash in March, the utilization percentage has continued to build.
