According to KookCapitalLLC, Solana may be losing its position as the top altcoin, with strong indications that this could be its last cycle as the leading 'it' asset. The analysis highlights the importance for traders to start planning their exit strategies. Furthermore, if Pump Fun launches its own blockchain, it could significantly diminish Solana's market relevance. The source emphasizes that tokens used as 'degen money' to buy trending assets often dictate market flows, suggesting a shift away from SOL could impact liquidity and trading volumes across major decentralized exchanges.

According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), the number of Bitcoin shrimp addresses—wallets holding less than 1 BTC—has sharply declined, dropping from 558,000 at the 2021 peak to 260,000 today, marking a four-year low. This data suggests a significant reduction in small holder participation or possible consolidation among retail investors, which may impact Bitcoin’s liquidity profile and short-term volatility. Such a trend can signal shifting investor demographics and could influence entry strategies for traders tracking retail accumulation cycles and on-chain activity.

According to Farside Investors, the weekly net flow for Bitcoin ETFs reached $608.4 million, with IBIT leading inflows at $841.7 million while FBTC and GBTC saw significant outflows of -$122.2 million and -$72 million, respectively (source: FarsideUK, May 17, 2025). This robust net inflow highlights sustained institutional interest in Bitcoin, signaling potential upward momentum for BTC prices and increased liquidity across crypto markets. Traders should monitor these ETF flow trends as they directly impact Bitcoin price action and broader sentiment within the cryptocurrency sector.

According to Farside Investors (@FarsideUK), the Invesco Bitcoin ETF reported zero net inflow on May 15, 2025. This stagnation in daily ETF flows may signal reduced institutional interest or a wait-and-see approach among large-scale investors, potentially affecting overall Bitcoin liquidity and price volatility in the near term. Traders should closely monitor subsequent ETF flow data for shifts in market sentiment as these metrics often correlate with short-term Bitcoin price action.

According to Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily), Base has emerged as a dominant Layer 2 (L2) network, quietly capturing over $50 billion in market capitalization from the Ethereum ecosystem. Data cited in the discussion highlights that while Ethereum's on-chain economic activity (often termed as 'Ethereum GDP') is declining, Base's rapid growth as an L2 solution is attracting both projects and capital. This trend raises concerns for Ethereum traders, as significant value migration to Base could impact ETH transaction fees, network security funding, and overall liquidity on mainnet. Traders are advised to monitor Base's TVL and user activity as these metrics may influence ETH price action and L2 token valuations, especially if Ethereum's scaling approach continues to divert value away from its base layer (source: @MilkRoadDaily, May 2, 2025).

According to @MacroScope17, Bitcoin (BTC) price movement is closely tied to changes in global M2 money supply, while Ethereum (ETH) responds more directly to US Federal Reserve quantitative easing (QE) and interest rate cuts. Since 2022, the ongoing Federal Reserve quantitative tightening (QT) program has reduced market liquidity, affecting both BTC and ETH trading dynamics (source: @MacroScope17 on Twitter). Traders should monitor global liquidity trends and central bank policy shifts for strategic positioning.

According to glassnode, Ethereum's Hot Capital metric has surged from a low of $2.60B on April 17 to $4.34B as of April 28, reaching its highest level since March 26. This sharp rebound indicates renewed trader interest and increased liquidity in the ETH market, which can signal heightened volatility and potential for significant price action. Traders should monitor these inflows and watch for resistance and support levels, as the spike in Hot Capital often precedes large market moves (source: glassnode, April 29, 2025).
