#CulperResearchOpenlyShortsETH
💥 US-based Culper Research announced it has taken a short position on Ethereum (ETH) and BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) shares as of March 5, 2026. The firm argues that the Fusaka network upgrade in December 2025 permanently damaged Ethereum's tokenomics model and could trigger a "death spiral."
🔎 According to the report, the block space expansion with Fusaka reduced gas fees by approximately 90%; validators' "tips" revenue decreased by 40-50%. This creates a negative cycle that suppresses staking yields and threatens network security. Based on on-chain data, Culper states that 95% of new wallet growth is due to dusting attacks, and a large portion of transaction volume is spam-related. 👉 Vitalik Buterin's planned sale of 16,384 ETH in January is also interpreted as a "loss of insider confidence." The firm also claims that BitMine, headed by Tom Lee, has incurred approximately $7.5 billion in unrealized losses at current prices due to its 4.4 million ETH treasury, rendering the "utility isn't increasing" thesis invalid. Market reaction was immediate: ETH prices plummeted by 2-6.5%, falling to levels around $2,057. The Ethereum community characterized the report as "short-term speculation," highlighting the rapid growth of competitors like Solana.
✨While Culper's arguments accurately reflect Fusaka's short-term fee collapse, Ethereum's resilience from past upgrades and Layer-2 solutions may limit long-term risks. The recovery in staking returns and adoption rate will test the validity of this thesis. This report forces the market to think more critically, placing a responsibility on investors to assess risks in a balanced way. The $2,000 support level for ETH will be critical in the coming days.

#CryptoMarketsDipSlightly
✨Cryptocurrency markets are experiencing a slight correction today. Total market capitalization has fallen by approximately 4% in the last 24 hours to $2.32 trillion. 24-hour trading volume hovered around $98 billion. Bitcoin dominance remains at 58.5%, while the overall market sentiment is in "Extreme Fear" mode.
🤔This slight dip seen across the market stems from profit-taking in Bitcoin, which recently reached levels as high as $74,000.
✨Main Reasons for the Decline
🔹Profit-taking: Short-term investors engaged in heavy selling after the $74,000 peak. 🔹Geopolitical tensions: Developments in the Middle East reduced risk appetite and increased oil prices.
🔹Macroeconomic data: February US employment data came in worse than expected (92,000 job losses, unemployment rising to 4.4%). This has reshaped expectations for a Fed interest rate cut and strengthened the dollar.
✨ The Fear & Greed Index is currently in the "Extreme Fear" zone with 20 points. While this level historically signals short-term dip buying opportunities, it also increases volatility. Bitcoin is expected to consolidate in the $65,000-$67,000 range due to its inability to hold above $70,000. However, institutional inflows (ETF flows) and long-term optimism are still strong. This slight correction is seen as a "dip buying" opportunity for many investors.
