it was obvious in hindsight
so is everyone waiting for $SPCX to drop below $100 only to get front run because the august unlock is already priced in?
time based capitulation
Crypto trading activity is declining:
Daily trading volume across the 44 spot crypto exchanges tracked by Kaiko fell to ~$15 billion last week, the lowest level of the year.
This marks a -70% decline from January peak levels.
By comparison, in February, there were 2 trading days when volume exceeded $100 billion.
As a result, the average daily volume trend has fallen -50% since December 2025, to $20 billion, the lowest this year.
Meanwhile, trading volume remains heavily concentrated, with the 6 largest exchanges accounting for more than 60% of total activity.
Crypto market liquidity is drying up.
senate dips for august recess in a few days and if they don’t at least start the floor process now the whole market structure bill is basically cooked until mid-terms
so is everyone waiting for $SPCX to drop below $100 only to get front run because the august unlock is already priced in?

not a bad start
been trading long enough to know that diligently taking partial profit is better than waiting for a miracle pump and roundtripping all gains
the closest thing to the Oct 10 post-mortem that we've had so far
People asked me why are we in a crypto bear market:
1. ALL the whales got nuked going into Uptober on Oct 10/11
2. Lack of transparency from Binance (see below), so people still dont 100% trust their system wont crash again if Trump makes another statement on a weekend. (We need a 9-5 president)
3. Bull run in AI Hardware, so much easier to make money there
People also ask me when bull market:
1. When Google and Facebook launch their own blockchain for developers to launch tokens
2. Need Clarity Act to pass first for 1 to happen
3. China loosens its noose
imagine having such hardcore beliefs such as
“credible neutrality matters
ETH matters
DeFi matters
adoption matters”
brace yourself for some groundbreaking RFCs
Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH
Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy.
The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure.
Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation.
What we believe:
• We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person.
• We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum.
• We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone.
• We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them.
We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products.
Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future.
We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development.
We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong.
We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: [email protected]
