Ethereum Price Warning: $1,600-$1,800 Could Be the Smart Entry Zone

Ethereum drops below $2,500 as analysts eye $1,600–$1,800 zone, while ETF outflows and BitMine losses deepen pressure.

Ethereum continued its decline on Tuesday, trading below $2,500 amid broader crypto market weakness.

Analysts now warn that deeper downside remains possible, with several pointing to lower price zones.

The sell-off has increased unrealized losses for large holders, including Tom Lee’s BitMine, while on-chain data shows rising exchange inflows.

Analysts warn Ethereum could test lower price zones

Several analysts have outlined downside targets as Ethereum extends its pullback.

Analyst Jake Wujastyk said Ethereum could trade between $1,800 and $1,850 if selling pressure accelerates.

His comments followed Bitcoin’s recent decline, which triggered large liquidations across the market.

Another market analyst, G. Martin, said Ethereum’s higher timeframe structure still appears stronger than Bitcoin’s.

However, he noted that current price action and technical signals continue to point toward a sustained downtrend. He added that Ethereum often follows Bitcoin’s broader market direction.

Martin also identified potential support zones if the decline continues. He said the $2,000 to $2,200 range could attract buyers.

He added that the $1,600 to $1,800 zone could become a key area if market stress deepens.

Whale activity and exchange flows increase pressure

On-chain data shows increased whale activity during the recent decline. Reports indicated that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin moved ETH worth about $44 million.

The transfer occurred while prices remained under pressure across major exchanges.

Other large holders also moved funds to exchanges. On-chain analytics firm Lookonchain reported that Garrett Jin deposited over 3,000 ETH into Binance.

The transfer followed the liquidation of his large ETH long position earlier in the day.

Another analyst, Ali, reported that more than 60,000 ETH moved to exchanges within 72 hours.

These transfers coincided with sharp price drops. The data suggests that selling pressure has remained steady rather than isolated.

BitMine losses and ETF outflows add to weakness

Tom Lee’s BitMine has seen its unrealized loss grow to about $6 billion following Ethereum’s decline.

BitMine began accumulating ETH when prices were near $2,540 in early 2025. Ethereum has since fallen below those levels.

This week, BitMine acquired more than 40,000 ETH, increasing its exposure. Reports show the firm holds around 3.5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply.

The recent price drop has reduced the value of these holdings.

ETF data also shows continued outflows. According to SoSoValue, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a weekly net outflow of $327 million.

These withdrawals added to downward pressure during the sell-off.

Exchange netflow data provides further context. Ethereum began declining from $3,100 as outflows increased in late January.

Sharp withdrawals aligned with price drops toward $2,400, reinforcing short-term weakness.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
