📊 #ETH CQ: The decline in Ethereum Premium Gap on Coinbase indicates weakening institutional demand from the US, which is a significant obstacle to price recovery above the $3,300 level.Coinbase's 14-day SMA Ethereum Premium Gap fell to -2.285, which is the lowest level since early February 2025.This metric clearly indicates that selling pressure—or more accurately, lack of buying interest—is significantly stronger on Coinbase compared to Binance.Historically, Ethereum's robust growth has been accompanied by a positive Premium Gap on Coinbase, where Coinbase prices are higher than Binance.Until the price gap returns to positive territory and real demand emerges from the US market, the likelihood of a breakout above the $3,300 resistance remains low.Traders should remain cautious as the continuation of this negative trend increases the risk of further downward correction.

#eth 🧐 Vitalik Buterin compared Ethereum with two iconic technologies at once - BitTorrent and Linux.Ethereum like BitTorrent: BitTorrent was able to combine decentralization and mass scale.Ethereum does the same thing, not for files, but for consensus and coordination of values.Ethereum like Linux: • Completely open source and free. • Invisibly underpins the infrastructure for billions of people and businesses. • Used by governments and corporations. • Has different “distributions”: from mass and convenient to minimalistic and hardcore, where control and autonomy are important, not comfort.Main idea: Ethereum L1 should become the basic home for finance, identity, governance and social interactions for those who value maximum autonomy and the absence of intermediaries.Previously: - private messengers - panic over transfers - Ethereum is ready for privacy
