An analyst who has earned the Master Trader rank on the crypto exchange Bybit believes that Ethereum (ETH) is gearing up for new upside bursts. Pseudonymous analyst Bluntz tells his 318,700 followers on the social media platform X that Ethereum appears to be in the midst of a five-wave rally on the four-hour chart. Bluntz practices the Elliott Wave theory, which states that a bullish asset tends to witness a five-wave surge before going through a correction. The analyst predicts that Ethereum will still hit his upside target of $3,500 even though President Trump’s latest tariff threats are weighing down markets. “Despite the trump tariff tantrum which happened legit 10 minutes after I went to sleep, I think ETH still looks ok and going to assume a range here.”  Source: Bluntz/X At time of writing, Ethereum is trading for $2,478. The analyst is also bullish on the Ethereum-based memecoin SPX6900 (SPX). Bluntz thinks that SPX is now in an uptre...

Jeffy Yu, the Zerebro co-founder who faked his own suicide before exploiting the ensuing controversy to launch a legacy-themed crypto token, has been found alive at his parents’ house in San Francisco. Yu apparently killed himself on a Pump Fun live stream, shortly after he published a manifesto on the concept of “Legacoins” — a term he created for a new type of memecoin that would somehow enshrine a dead person’s crypto holdings. However, unsurprisingly to many, Yu’s grisly “demise” and the subsequent online obituary — deleted a few days later — that appeared to confirm his death were all fake . Indeed, George Kelly, writing for The San Francisco Standard, found the 22-year-old alive and well, dressed in flip-flops, in the Crocker-Amazon neighbourhood of San Francisco. When asked about his false obituary and how he may have profited, Yu declined to comment and instead complained that he had been “doxed” and “harassed.” He said, “If you can f...

An address belonging to Zerebro co-founder Jeffy Yu is reportedly still active and moving large amounts of crypto, despite the memecoin developer reportedly taking his own life last weekend. According to unconfirmed reports, Yu passed away on May 4 while taking part in a Pump Fun livestream. However, according to X user and crypto commentator @RepeatAfterVee, despite this apparent tragedy, the address (G5sjgjPdFdoz7hRa49yDobeSdqMooCmDwsCUERqLTfyr) is still “dumping $ZEREBRO, then sending USDC to the HTX exchange.” Vee also pointed out that that the funds were then sent to another address owned by Jeffy that created the $LLJeffy token. In the hours after Yu’s death was reported, $ZEREBRO dropped from $0.0427 to $0.0409 . It has since rebounded to $0.0428. In late April, the coin experienced a 300% pump and hit a volume of more than $150 million. I've just noticed that one of Jeffy Yu's addresses is dumping $ZEREBRO, then sending USDC to the...

Cuba’s official government X account apparently tried to rugpull a Cuba-themed memecoin today in a stunt that caused some to believe the country was in on the memecoin frenzy started by Donald Trump this weekend.  However, the launch appears to be the work of hackers, as not only did the token dump following a price rise, but the posts from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs appear completely out of character.  After the first promotion of “Official Cuba Coin,” the government account said, “We are experiencing some difficulties with our X page and are investigating the issue. Please stand by with us.”  One of the multiple scam tokens shared by the official Cuban government X account.

A widely followed crypto analyst says that the top altcoin Ethereum (ETH) is setting up for a gigantic rally later this year. In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto trader Credible Crypto tells his 453,200 followers on the social media platform X that the smart contract platform looks set to skyrocket – but not before it dips and presents a solid entry for long-term holders. ‘[Ethereum] is setting up for a face-melting rally later this year. Just be patient and take advantage of the dips for now. $2,500-$2,800 is the dream buy zone if we manage to get it down the road.” Credible Crypto goes on to note that Ethereum is close to hitting his downside target. “Now about 80% to my downside target – seeing some LTF (lower time frame) absorption here so maybe we are due for some relief before taking the lows. Let’s see.” Source: Credible Crypto/X Looking at the trader’s chart, he seems to predict that ETH will drop to support at...

A frog-themed memecoin is up massively after billionaire Elon Musk changed his username on the social media platform X. According to Musk’s X profile, his name has been changed to “Kekius Maximus,” a vague reference to the frog-headed Egyptian god Kek, whose name has been used to convey laughter by gamers and internet users. Kek has also been associated with Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character who inspired the $8.1 billion market cap memecoin PEPE. The Tesla CEO’s abrupt name change led to a staggering surge for Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS), an Ethereum-based frog-themed altcoin, which skyrocketed by over 32,000%, going from $0.00123 on December 30 to a peak of $0.40 on January 1st. The meme asset has since retraced and is trading for $0.264 at time of writing while its market cap burgeoned to over $250 million. Musk – a longtime proponent of meme assets such as Dogecoin (DOGE) – did not specify a reason for changing his handle on X. The busin...

Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced an incredible rally earlier this month. The original memecoin’s price took off after Donald Trump won the US Presidential election. The rally was likely due to Elon Musk’s support for Trump and Bitcoin (BTC) hitting a new all-time high. Musk is one of the most significant DOGE supporters in the world. The asset’s price witnessed another rally after Trump greenlit the formation of a Department Of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) on Musk’s recommendation.
