The wider altcoin market, led by memecoins, has signaled a bullish breakout soon amid ongoing trade war negotiations.
ETH/USD has been following a similar fractal pattern in the ongoing macro bull run to the 2020/2021 cycle.
Ethereum (ETH) price has stabilized around $1,583 in the past three days. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $192 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of about $8.52 billion, has hinted at a potential bullish rebound after slowing down capitulation in the past seven days.
Moreover, the gold price retrace in the past 24 hours has accelerated cash rotation to the highly oversold crypto market, which has established itself as a reliable alternative investment to the highly volatile stock market that is engulfed by short-term uncertainties.
Ethereum Whales on a Shopping Spree
On-chain data shows a sharp uptick of whale activities seeking to accumulate Ether from centralized exchanges in the last few days. For instance, a whale wallet linked to Metalpha has withdrawn 29k Ether, worth nearly $49 million, from the Binance exchange since April 1.
Another whale investor has withdrawn 46,577 Ether, worth about $97.26 million, from Gate.io Since February 15. Another whale investor has withdrawn 10,091 ETH, worth about $18.8 million, from Bybit since March 12.
However, the overall demand for Ether by institutional investors, led by U.S. spot ETH ETFs, has remained low. Already, Galaxy Digital has deposited 62,181 ETH, worth about $100 million, to different exchanges in the past six days.
ETH Price Analysis
In the weekly timeframe, Ether’s price, against the U.S. dollar, has been bleeding since mid-December 2024. Most importantly, Ether has been bleeding to Bitcoin since August 2022. With both ETH/USD and ETH/BTC heavily oversold, a rebound may happen in the near future catalyzed by robust fundamentals.
In the daily timeframe, ETH/USD has been forming a potential reversal pattern, characterized by a symmetrical triangle. As a result, a consistent close above the established falling logarithmic trend will trigger a rally toward $2.1k ahead.
However, a strong correction below $1,500 in the coming days will result in further capitulation potentially towards $1,290.
In the crypto market, a new generation of on-chain banking products is currently taking shape. Highlighting this evolution, EVAA Protocol, the first and leading DeFi protocol on TON, is hosting deFINTECH, a legendary side event of TOKEN2049 Dubai, in collaboration with TAC, the Layer 1 TON EVM network extension that connects the TON blockchain with Ethereum apps, allowing Telegram users to access popular EVM applications directly from their TON wallet.
The event is supported by key partners, including sponsor Ston.fi, the leading DEX on the TON blockchain, and media partners BeInCrypto and INCRYPTED, providing official media coverage. The curated gathering will take place on April 30, 2025, from 2 PM to 6 PM at DAOS HUB Dubai, deFINTECH’s official venue partner.
deFINTECH brings together the builders, product leaders, and fintech visionaries who are actively reimagining the future of banking on blockchain rails. The event focuses on envisioning on-chain neo-banking—financial services built natively on-chain and natively integrated into everyday platforms like Telegram. This includes exploring stablecoin payments, Telegram-native wallets, tokenized vaults, and intuitive on-chain yield tools.
Hosted by EVAA Protocol, deFINTECH highlights the platform’s dedication to DeFi accessibility and efficiency. EVAA provides liquidity market solutions and leveraged staking strategies, integrated deeply with Telegram and top-tier TON applications like Tonkeeper, Notcoin, Ston.fi, FIVA, TG Wallet, and DeDust. This creates a frictionless experience for users to borrow, lend, and earn yield on TON.
Why deFINTECH Matters
With Telegram’s crypto ecosystem gaining significant traction and stablecoins becoming a preferred medium for payments and savings, particularly in emerging markets, novel opportunities are arising at the intersection of Web3, embedded finance, and real-world adoption. deFINTECH serves as a dedicated venue for those pioneering this transformation.
The event is designed for founders and product leads building on-chain fintech solutions alongside wallet teams, L1/L2 ecosystem developers, and Web3 banking infrastructure builders. It also brings together investors, early adopters in social finance and DeFi, institutional players exploring on-chain finance, media, and strategic contributors focused on this evolving sector. With 150–190 highly relevant guests expected, the event fosters an atmosphere centered on valuable connections and substantive discussions.
One unique aspect of deFINTECH is that it moves away from traditional conference formats. Instead of stages and panels, the event prioritizes meaningful dialogue, fosters early-stage collaboration, and encourages product-first conversations. The goal is to create an atmosphere where genuine connections are made and practical solutions for the future of on-chain finance are discussed. deFINTECH offers a focused environment for meaningful connections and strategic dialogue during the busy TOKEN2049 week. Attendance at the event is by invitation only.
What To Expect
Attendees can anticipate an afternoon centered around direct interaction and collaboration. The format includes focused roundtable discussions exploring the future of neo-banking and DeFi user experience. There will also be opportunities for live demos and product showcases presented in a casual, off-stage setting.
Attendees can also expect to participate in open networking with other participants, ensuring valuable interactions without superfluous presentations. deFINTECH cultivates a culture of co-creation, inviting attendees to actively take part in shaping the conversation rather than passively consuming content. The agenda features focused discussions, including insights from venture capital, partner spotlights, and collaborative talks, all interwoven with ample networking time.
The Venue: DAOS HUB Dubai
deFINTECH will be hosted at DAOS HUB Dubai, serving as the event’s official venue partner. Located in the heart of Dubai, DAOS HUB is a purpose-built ecosystem that provides a space where Web3 builders, contributors, and innovators can collaborate and grow. Its mission is to create an ideal environment for Web3 startups to thrive through network-native connections and curated access, making it a fitting backdrop for the event’s forward-looking conversations. The event runs from 2 PM to 6 PM on April 30, 2025.
“Web3 doesn’t need another conference. It needs a product room,” said Vlad Kamyshov, CEO of EVAA Protocol.“At deFINTECH, we stop pitching dreams and start building real tools — right inside Telegram, where our users already are. We believe stablecoin payments, Telegram-native wallets, and on-chain yield tools can reimagine banking—making it open, permissionless, and composable. This isn’t just a trend — it’s a movement. Our goal is to bring together the builders and visionaries shaping the next financial layer.”
For those actively working on Telegram-based payment rails, secure yield vaults for stablecoins, or compliance-friendly DeFi applications, deFINTECH offers a unique space to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the next wave of financial innovation.
With crypto markets heating gain and Bitcoin just hitting a new all-time high. Many people are now wondering, can $1,000 turn into $10K, $20K, or even more with crypto in 2025?
George from CryptosRUS says it’s possible, but only if you’re smart about it. He recently shared his plan for 2025, including which coins to choose, when to buy, and what mistakes to avoid.
Don’t Chase 100x Dreams Too Fast
In a recent interview with Altcoin Daily, George laid out his thoughts on how newcomers can grow small investments without falling into risky traps.
George started by saying it’s not realistic to expect a 100x return overnight. Trying too hard to turn $1,000 into $100,000 quickly often leads people into bad trades. Instead of gambling, he recommends aiming for steady gains and keeping your expectations in check.
Don’t Ignore Bitcoin
For someone just starting, George believes the best place to put most of your money is in pioneer cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. While many skip Bitcoin because it looks “too expensive,” to make real money, he sees it differently.
He points out that even a 10x or 20x return is possible over a full cycle—which still turns $1K into $10K or $20K.
Compared to traditional investments like stocks or bonds, crypto still wins on speed and return.
Look Out for Meme Coins—but Be Smart
George doesn’t dismiss meme coins. In fact, in previous cycles, he mentioned coins like Pepe that saw massive growth, 20x to 50x in some cases. However, he stresses that this space is tricky.
Thousands of new meme coins launch daily, but only a tiny few go viral. Even popular ones like WIF, Bonk, or Pepe are currently down 50% or more from their peaks.
His advice? Don’t jump into every new coin blindly. Instead, watch the market, look for momentum, and if the meme coin trend heats up again, then it might be time to take a chance.
Strategy Over Hype
In the end, George suggests a simple plan: put a good portion into reliable names, likely Bitcoin and a few strong altcoins, and keep an eye on the market. If conditions improve and memes regain strength, shift some money into trending tokens.
“$1,000 might not become $100K fast,” he said, “but turning it into $10K or $20K? That’s very possible—if you play it smart.”
