ETH has only dipped below $1,900 a handful of times since 2020. If you had purchased ether between June 2022 and October 2023, as well as throughout 2020, you would currently be in profit.
Glassnode data reveals that short-term holders (STHs)—those who have held ETH for less than 155 days—are bearing the brunt of realized losses. However, long-term holders (LTHs) are also beginning to capitulate.

알아야 할 것:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
