Ethereum’s selloff tests whether its neutrality-first model can defend ETH’s value amid Foundation ‘brain drain’
Weak spot demand, negative ETF flows and senior departures have turned Ethereum’s price decline into a broader confidence test.

A fresh Monday market snapshot is ready.
Crypto’s next phase is being shaped less by slogans than by whether core institutions can prove they deserve investor trust. Ethereum’s slide has become a referendum on its neutrality-first model as weak spot demand, ETF outflows, and Foundation departures collide with growing pressure for sharper execution.
That credibility test is spreading. The SEC’s tokenized stock push could create a parallel market where ownership rights differ from traditional equities, while the Fed is weighing direct settlement access that could let crypto firms bypass banks.
The global crypto market cap is $2.59 trillion, with a 24-hour volume of $65.25 billion. The price of Bitcoin is $77,476.69, and BTC market dominance is 60.0%. The price of Ethereum is $2,125.14, and ETH market dominance is 9.9%. The best-performing sector is DeFAI, which gained 9%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently Extreme Fear (30).
