The ETH Metric That Called Two Bottoms Is Flashing $700 Again



 Most Ethereum price discussions right now center on whether ETH can hold $1,700 or reclaim $2,000. That framing misses something older and more precise.

A metric called Delta Price — built by on-chain analytics firm Alphractal — has accurately identified Ethereum's last two major market bottoms. Not approximately. The readings around both the 2019 low and the 2022 low converged with spot price at levels the Delta Price had already marked as structural floors.

Now it reads $708.85.

Crypto analyst alicharts flagged this on X recently, noting the indicator reflects the relationship between the average cost investors paid for ETH and what it costs miners to produce the asset. When spot price approaches that derived value, the market is historically in a deep accumulation zone — the kind that precedes sustained recoveries, not brief bounces.

The current reading does not mean Ethereum is at $700 right now. It means the floor the metric is pointing to is that far down. Whether ETH actually drops to test it depends on broader conditions. What is notable is that the metric is even in this range at all.

In both prior cycles, the period when ETH traded near the Delta Price level was quiet. Not dramatic. No headlines about imminent recovery. Just cost-basis math pointing to a zone where selling pressure historically runs dry.

For a longer read on what the Delta Price metric tracks, why the $708 level matters specifically, and what the historical pattern looked like after both prior touches, the full analysis is at CryptoNewsLive.

Ripple Is Building XRPL's Defense Against Quantum Computing, and the Clock Is Already Running

Image
  Ripple has released a detailed plan to protect the XRP Ledger from quantum computing threats, and the timeline it has set is not aspirational. The target is full post-quantum cryptography readiness by 2028, with active work already underway in 2026. The roadmap runs four phases. The first is an emergency contingency for a scenario where quantum computers break classical cryptography ahead of schedule. Ripple calls this Q-Day readiness. In that scenario, the XRP Ledger would enforce a hard network shift, stopping classical public-key signatures and requiring users to migrate to quantum-safe accounts. The second and third phases cover 2026. Testing begins on NIST-recommended post-quantum algorithms under real XRPL workload conditions. Performance, storage, and bandwidth costs all get measured. Then hybrid deployment begins on Devnet, running quantum-resistant signatures alongside existing ones before anything touches the live network. Project Eleven, an organization working on cr...

Hoskinson Just Said Everything Nobody Else Will Say About Crypto in 2026

Image
  Charles Hoskinson spent over an hour on the O Show with host Wendo in April 2026 and covered ground that most crypto founders avoid in public interviews. The Midnight Network mainnet went live on March 31 with nine institutional node operators including Google Cloud, MoneyGram, Worldpay, Telegram, Vodafone's Pairpoint, eToro, Bullish, Blockdaemon, and Shielded Technologies. That alone is a headline. But it was not the most important thing he said. The AI agent argument is where this interview breaks from the usual. His position is that zero-knowledge proofs are not primarily a privacy feature. They are the only mechanism by which AI agents can verify each other's behavior. When an autonomous agent is managing your funds across multiple blockchains while you sleep, it needs mathematical proof infrastructure underneath it to constrain what it can do, protect your data without exposing it, and settle value in real time without a middleman. Midnight is being built for that future...

Everclear Is Gone and the $500M Volume Story Should Worry Every DeFi User

Image
 Everclear, the cross-chain settlement protocol that processed $500M in monthly volume, announced this week that it is shutting down. The Foundation and Labs entities are winding down operations. The product UI is already offline. The chain is non-operational. This is not a rug pull. It is something arguably more instructive: a protocol that built real volume, real technology, and real partnerships, and still could not survive. The team's own explanation makes it plain. Users were highly price-sensitive. The solver-based model that Everclear was built around never developed the revenue depth it needed, even with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through the system monthly. A B2B2C pivot was attempted. Major industry names signed on. But the timelines to go live were longer than the runway the team had left. Acquisition talks were explored. They did not succeed. The CLEAR token has lost more than 52% of its value in seven days. A potential buyback is being explored in the ...
