Ethereum Upgrades Have Failed to Boost Network Activity in Meaningful Way: JPMorgan

The Ethereum blockchain has yet to see a significant increase in activity despite successive upgrades, investment bank JPMorgan (JPM) said in a research report.
«Neither the number of daily transactions nor the number of active addresses saw a material increase post recent upgrades,» analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote in the Wednesday report.
Still, total value locked (TVL) on Ethereum increased between the Dencun upgrade in March 2024 and Pectra earlier this month, the bank noted, possibly due to increased lending and borrowing on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), but the increase looks lower in dollar terms than in the blockchain’s ether ETH token.
Ethereum activated the Pectra upgrade on May 7. The update aims to streamline staking, enhance wallet functionality and improve overall efficiency.
Pectra makes the ETH token and Ethereum itself more appealing to institutions, the bank said. It distinguishes the network from competitors, but the upgrades haven’t boosted activity in a meaningful way.
The bank noted that following the Dencun upgrade, both average and total fees fell, in part because of a shift toward layer 2 chains.
Ether’s circulating supply also increased after Dencun, which raised concerns about the crypto «becoming an inflationary asset amid subdued transaction activity,» JPMorgan said.
Futures positioning suggests that institutions played a large role in the recent rally in ether, the report added. Ether has risen more than 45% in the past month, CoinDesk data show.

Bitcoin Cash Rebounds 6.4% as Bulls Defend Key Support Zone

The cryptocurrency market is navigating choppy waters amid escalating geopolitical tensions, with Bitcoin Cash (BCH) showing resilience despite broader market pressure.
BCH recently demonstrated strong technical performance, forming a V-shaped recovery after testing critical support at $391.656, with substantial buying volume establishing a high-volume support level.
This comes as the global cryptocurrency market faces headwinds from the ongoing US-China trade disputes, which continue to introduce uncertainty across financial markets worldwide.
Meanwhile, traditional financial indicators like rising US Treasury yields signal systemic stress that historically creates mixed environments for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

- A powerful breakout occurred during the 13:00 hour, with BCH surging to $416.958 on the highest hourly volume (28,068 units).
- Price established a new resistance-turned-support level at $409.800, with momentum indicators suggesting potential for continued upside.
- A bull flag pattern formed after the initial impulse move, with decreasing volume during consolidation suggesting potential continuation.
- The $413.000-$413.500 zone represents a key support level that bulls need to defend to maintain upward momentum.

Crypto’s Most Watched Whale Gets Fully Liquidated After Placing Billions in Risky Bets

James Wynn, the trader whose risky moves on Hyperliquid captivated crypto watchers this month, has been fully liquidated.
He ended a volatile month with just $23 left in his account, according to HyperDash data.
Wynn built his reputation and following by placing massive, leveraged on-chain trades across bitcoin BTC, PEPE PEPE, and other tokens.
His downfall began with a $1.25 billion long position on BTC that unraveled as prices dropped below $105,000 amid growing geopolitical uncertainty. That trade alone cost him more than $37 million after fees.
The trader briefly pivoted to memecoins like PEPE, where one long position initially gained over 10%, before market swings liquidated him again.
Over the course of the month, Wynn cycled through assets including ETH, SUI, TRUMP, and even FARTCOIN. His trades at one point saw him achieve an unrealized gain of $85 million.
An account associated with Wynn on X commented on the liquidation and dismissed the losses. “I’ll run it back, I always do. And I’ll enjoy doing it. I like playing the game,” the account wrote on X. “I took a large and calculated bet at making billions.”
