Large holders of Cardano have amassed 454.7 million ADA, valued at $161 million, over the past two months despite a 19% drop in price. According to NS3.AI, smaller retail investors are selling their holdings, creating a divergence in market behavior. This trend, alongside consistent growth in ADA holders and stable DeFi activity, suggests a possible recovery once market conditions stabilize. Nonetheless, ADA encounters resistance from substantial sell walls, posing short-term obstacles for price increases.

Ethereum may be flashing the same global liquidity signal that preceded its massive 2021 bull run, as onchain accumulation and macro indicators begin to align once again.Analysts say the setup — which previously delivered a 226% ETH rally — is reappearing across global liquidity metrics, US small-cap equities and Ethereum’s price structure, raising expectations of a potential multi-month upside move.Key takeawaysEthereum rallied 226% in 2021 after a rare global liquidity breakout sequence.The same macro pattern is now forming again in early 2026.ETH accumulation addresses show rising realized price near $2,720, reinforcing structural support.Analysts say liquidity — not short-term technicals — may drive the next major move.Global liquidity signal mirrors 2021 ETH breakoutCrypto analyst Sykodelic highlighted a recurring three-step macro pattern that historically precedes major Ethereum rallies:Global liquidity breaks outUS small-cap equities (Russell 2000) followEthereum rallies with a delayed responseAccording to the analyst, this exact sequence played out ahead of Ethereum’s 2021 bull market — and is now appearing again on monthly charts.Global liquidity has already broken higher, with the Russell 2000 confirming its own breakout shortly after. Historically, Ether tends to lag these moves by several weeks before entering a strong expansion phase.In the previous cycle, ETH began its rally approximately 119 days after the Russell 2000 breakout, ultimately climbing more than 226% between March and November 2021.If the same timing holds, analysts suggest Ether could be approaching a similar inflection window around March 2026.The current Russell 2000 monthly structure is also closely resembling its 2021 setup — a signal that broader risk appetite may be returning beneath the surface.Russell 2000 leadership strengthens ETH thesisSupporting the macro view, Max — CEO of BecauseBitcoin — noted that the Russell 2000 has historically acted as a leading indicator for Ethereum price discovery.The index recently printed a new all-time high near 2,738, a development that previously preceded periods of aggressive ETH upside.If correlations remain intact, analysts say small-cap equity strength could once again act as a tailwind for Ethereum in the weeks ahead.ETH whale accumulation reinforces downside supportOnchain data adds another layer of confirmation.According to CryptoQuant, Ethereum accumulation addresses — wallets that consistently buy without distributing — continue to increase their realized price, which now sits near $2,720.Historically, this metric has served as a strong structural support zone, and in prior cycles, ETH has not sustained breakdowns below the realized price of accumulation addresses.With spot ETH trading relatively close to this level, analysts estimate potential downside may be limited to roughly 7%, placing a potential local bottom near the same zone.The $2,700–$2,750 range also aligns with key external liquidity clusters, increasing the probability of a technical and behavioral response if price revisits the area.Liquidity — not narratives — may drive the next ETH moveWhile short-term volatility continues across crypto markets, analysts argue that Ethereum’s larger trajectory is increasingly tied to global liquidity conditions, rather than headlines or isolated technical indicators.In previous cycles, ETH’s strongest rallies began only after liquidity expanded and risk appetite quietly returned — often before broader sentiment shifted.If the current macro alignment continues to hold, Ethereum may be positioning for a delayed but powerful breakout, echoing the structure that fueled its last triple-digit rally.

Bitcoin-related job openings increased 6% in 2025, with hiring demand shifting decisively toward non-technical roles as companies across the ecosystem expanded operations, according to a new report from Bitvocation.The 2025 Bitcoin Jobs Data report found that 1,801 Bitcoin-related positions were posted last year, up from 1,707 in 2024, reflecting steady workforce growth despite market volatility.Non-technical roles dominate Bitcoin hiringNon-developer positions accounted for 74% of all Bitcoin job listings in 2025, up from 69% the previous year — highlighting a structural shift as Bitcoin firms move from early infrastructure building toward scaling, operations, and product execution.The most in-demand non-technical roles included:Product managerExecutive assistantMarketing managerDirectorProduct designerProduct manager emerged as the single most sought-after role, while director-level positions increased tenfold, signaling growing organizational maturity across Bitcoin-native companies.Bitcoin job openings spanned multiple sectors, including:Bitcoin miningLightning Network infrastructureBitcoin payments and financial servicesSelf-custody and wallet providers  Over 150 Bitcoin-only companies hiringBitvocation recorded more than 150 Bitcoin-only companies actively hiring in 2025.Mining firm Riot Platforms and Bitcoin payments company Lightspark led recruitment efforts, while the top 10 Bitcoin-native employers expanded hiring by 122% year-on-year.Bitcoin-adjacent firms also increased recruitment sharply. The top 10 companies in this category — including Bitdeer, Kraken and SatoshiLabs — posted 88% more Bitcoin-related job listings compared with 2024.United States leads, Singapore surgesThe United States remained the dominant Bitcoin employment hub with roughly 500 job postings, maintaining its position as the global center of Bitcoin industry hiring.Singapore recorded the fastest growth, jumping into second place with a 158% year-on-year increase in Bitcoin job listings.The top five countries by Bitcoin job postings in 2025 were:United StatesSingaporeCzech RepublicGibraltarMalaysiaSwitzerland saw the steepest decline among major markets, with listings down 70% year-on-year.Interestingly, Bhutan and El Salvador — two of the largest nation-state Bitcoin holders — ranked ninth and tenth, respectively.Remote work declines across Bitcoin sectorThe report also noted a decline in remote opportunities.The share of remote Bitcoin jobs fell from 53% in 2024 to 45% in 2025, reflecting a broader industry shift toward hybrid or location-based teams as companies scale.What Bitcoin employers want in 2026Bitcoin companies told Bitvocation that one of their biggest challenges is finding candidates who combine professional competence with genuine Bitcoin alignment.The hardest roles to fill included:Bitcoin Core developmentLightning Network engineeringNon-technical roles requiring deep ecosystem understandingEmployers emphasized a preference for “Swiss Army Knife” candidates — individuals capable of operating across functions, executing reliably, and navigating early-stage startup environments.According to the report, traits such as proof-of-work, ecosystem contribution, and cultural alignment were often valued more highly than traditional credentials alone.Most surveyed companies expect Bitcoin hiring demand to remain stable or increase in 2026, suggesting continued expansion as adoption moves further into payments, infrastructure, and institutional finance.

Bitcoin’s network hashrate briefly fell to its lowest level in seven months over the weekend after a powerful winter storm swept across the United States, forcing large mining operations to curtail activity to stabilize regional power grids.According to data from CoinWarz, Bitcoin’s network hashrate began declining on Friday and fell to roughly 663 exahashes per second (EH/s) by Sunday — a drop of more than 40% in just two days, returning hashrate levels to those last seen in mid-2025.The hashrate has since partially recovered and was hovering near 854 EH/s by Monday.Extreme weather disrupts US mining operationsThe sharp decline coincided with a massive winter storm that impacted more than three dozen US states, bringing widespread snow, ice accumulation and power outages.Weather data from AccuWeather showed that nearly one million energy customers were affected as utilities prioritized residential and critical infrastructure demand.Bitcoin miner Abundant Mines said approximately 40% of global mining capacity temporarily went offline as operators reduced power consumption to relieve pressure on regional grids.“As energy demand surges, some mining operations reduce activity to ease stress on power systems,” the company said. “This flexibility is a built-in strength of Bitcoin mining — it can shut down quickly and restart just as fast when conditions normalize.”US accounts for nearly 38% of global Bitcoin hashrateThe impact was amplified by the United States’ dominant role in Bitcoin mining.According to data from Hashrate Index, the US contributes nearly 38% of global Bitcoin mining power, making weather-related disruptions particularly influential on network metrics.A 2024 report from the US Energy Information Administration identified more than 137 crypto-mining facilities operating nationwide, many concentrated in Texas and other energy-intensive regions.Miners assist grid stability through demand responseIndustry participants noted that the event highlighted one of Bitcoin mining’s key structural features — grid demand response.By rapidly adjusting electricity consumption, miners can help stabilize grids during periods of peak demand. Operations located near wind and solar installations often absorb excess power during low demand and curtail activity when grids tighten.Bitcoin ESG researcher Daniel Batten said on X that mining operations in Texas again coordinated with grid operators during the storm, helping prevent wider system instability.Bitcoin production temporarily slowsThe storm also disrupted daily Bitcoin production at several major mining firms.According to CryptoQuant data cited by analyst Julio Moreno, some of the largest US miners saw sharp declines in output:Marathon Digital fell from producing 45 BTC per day to just 7IREN dropped from 18 BTC to 6Production levels are expected to normalize as mining operations gradually resume full capacity.Hashrate recovery underwayDespite the short-term disruption, analysts emphasized that the network showed resilience, with hashrate rebounding quickly as weather conditions improved.Historically, similar weather-related drawdowns — including prior winter storms in Texas — have resulted in temporary volatility but minimal long-term impact on Bitcoin’s network security.The episode reinforces Bitcoin mining’s growing integration with energy markets, particularly in the US, where flexible load management has become a defining feature of large-scale operations.
