Founders Fund’s exit from ETHZilla highlights volatility, balance sheet strain and the challenges facing public Ether treasury strategies. Founders Fund fully exited ETHZilla after previously holding a 7.5% stake. SEC filings show that Peter Thiel-linked entities had reduced their ownership to zero by the end of 2025, signaling a decisive retreat from an Ether-focused public treasury strategy. ETHZilla’s pivot from biotech to an Ether treasury strategy was aggressive. After raising $425 million and later seeking $350 million through convertible bonds, the company accumulated over 100,000 ETH, positioning itself as a leveraged equity proxy for Ether exposure. Debt-driven models can force crypto sales at unfavorable times. ETHZilla’s sale of 24,291 ETH in December 2025 to meet debt obligations highlighted a structural weakness. Leverage combined with crypto volatility can trigger asset liquidation during downturns. Read more

Ether reserves held on exchanges fell to a new multi-year low as ETH price struggles to trade above $2,000. Will the supply crunch benefit bulls or bears? The balance of Ether (ETH) held on exchanges has slid to a multiyear low, with more than 31 million ETH leaving centralized exchanges in February, marking the largest monthly withdrawal since November.  While the ETH price remained near $2,000, derivatives data shows a split between small buyers and larger sellers, raising the question of how the price may respond if demand becomes uniform across both retail and whale wallets.  Crypto analyst Arab Chain said that more than 31.6 million ETH left major exchanges in February, the highest monthly outflow since November. Binance led with roughly 14.45 million ETH withdrawn, nearly half of the total. OKX followed with about 3.83 million ETH, and Kraken recorded close to 1.04 million ETH. Read more

Ether needed to hold a key support recently established at $1,800, coinciding with the lower trend line of a classic chart pattern that warns of a drop below $1,500. Ether’s (ETH) rally stalled late Monday just above $2,000 due to stiff overhead resistance, as the technical setup suggested that downward momentum would increase if the ETH/USD pair breaks below $1,800. Key takeaways: ETH price must hold above $1,800 to avoid another leg down.  Read more

Key takeaways: ETH futures liquidations reached $224 million after a 9% price drop, while the network’s onchain activity fell to a 12-month low.

The mounting unrealized losses of Bitmine shareholders and Ether’s 60% decline are signaling a critical inflection point that may define Ether’s medium-term momentum, analysts said. Corporate Ether treasuries are coming under increasing pressure as the crypto downturn deepens, with analysts warning the market is approaching a make-or-break phase for Ether’s investment case. Bitmine Immersion Technologies, one of the biggest corporate holders of Ether (ETH), is sitting on a large unrealized loss as ETH trades well below the company’s average acquisition price, according to third-party tracker Bitminetracker. Some estimates put Bitmine’s paper losses in the $8.8 billion range after Ether’s slide over recent months. ETH’s price has fallen 60% during the past six months, dropping well below Bitmine’s average cost basis of $3,843 per token, Bitminetracker data shows. Read more

Ethereum onchain data and a bear pennant on the daily chart suggest that bears may target the $1,100 level. Would a dip to that zone represent a generational buy opportunity? Ether (ETH) price printed a bear pennant on the daily chart, a technical chart formation associated with strong downward momentum. This weakening technical setup and declining network activity may signal the continuation of ETH’s bear trend and possibly send the altcoin’s price to $1,100. A bear pennant pattern is a bearish setup that forms after the price consolidates inside an up-sloping triangle following a sharp price drop. The pennant will resolve once the price breaks below the lower trend line of the pennant at $1,950. If this happens, the ETH/USD pair could drop by as much as the previous downtrend’s height. This places the measured target for ETH price at $1,100, down 43% from the current price. Read more

Fundstrat's Tom Lee argues Ether is close to the bottom and says investors should be thinking about opportunities instead of selling.
