Questions readers ask

Why is Ethereum underperforming Bitcoin?

Ethereum is lagging because DEX volume on its chain fell nearly 20% and ETF outflows stripped liquidity, while risk‑off sentiment favoured Bitcoin’s dominance.

What does the drop in DEX volume indicate?

The decline signals reduced on‑chain trading activity and lower liquidity, reinforcing the current risk‑off mood.

Are Solana meme tokens still relevant?

Solana meme chatter is down slightly to 2,037 posts, showing waning interest as attention shifts toward ZKsync and AI‑agent narratives.
