The ETH/BTC exchange rate has risen to a 10-week high, with Ethereum's recent performance outperforming Bitcoin. This ratio has broken through the resistance level of a downward trend line since 2025 and is above the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages.XWIN Research points out that the employee statement released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission explains that DeFi front-end and wallet interfaces do not need to register as broker-dealers under conditions such as non-custodial and neutral fee structures, which has boosted Ethereum's strength. On-chain data shows an upward trend in active addresses, and the Coinbase premium gap is also improving, indicating that U.S. institutional demand is recovering.Enterprise-level accumulation is accelerating, with Bitmine increasing its holdings by 279,000 ETH in the past 30 days, currently holding 4.87 million ETH, accounting for over 4% of the circulating supply.

According to official news, the scalable blockchain network AO based on Arweave has announced the launch of the "Network Availability Staking Alpha (NASA)" testing program, which is a key step in its AO ecosystem aimed at enhancing the availability and reliability of decentralized data networks through a staking mechanism. The program is currently in the Alpha stage, and users can participate in network availability verification and earn rewards by providing data services for Arweave gateways and staking AO tokens.In the first pilot phase, AO introduces the "availability staking" mechanism, requiring node operators to stake 25 AO to participate in the network and compete for the speed and stability of responding to user requests. The system will allocate rewards from a monthly reward pool of 1000 AO based on the performance of nodes in data services. This mechanism relies on the next-generation HyperBEAM architecture, enabling higher levels of verifiability and trustlessness for gateway and routing services while significantly reducing operational costs.The project team stated that NASA aims to establish a stronger decentralized economic model for the entire permanent network infrastructure, paving the way for future expansion into areas such as computing scheduling, data indexing, and network services. Although the current reward scale is small and still in the testing phase, the program is seen as an important starting point for the AO-Core economic system and will gradually expand to more network infrastructure services in the future.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is currently fluctuating around $70,000, and the overall performance of the cryptocurrency market remains resilient. Meanwhile, mainstream crypto assets like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana are also relatively stable. The key for the market in the short term is whether Bitcoin can hold the important support level of $70,000.This position has now become a dividing line for bulls and bears and has been defended multiple times by "bottom-fishing funds." If it effectively breaks down, the price volatility of Bitcoin may increase due to thin liquidity below. However, if it can stabilize, the market is expected to quickly recover stability. Some viewpoints suggest that with support from capital flows and macro factors, Bitcoin still has the potential to rise to $88,000.Overall, although Bitcoin's price performance is solid, speculative behavior and negative events may suppress market risk appetite in the short term.
