Ether traded near $2,000 in recent sessions as US-listed Ether ETFs logged around $242 million in net outflows, market trackers show. The token has struggled to sustain moves above roughly $2,150 since early February, following a rebound from a mid-February low around $1,744, and Deribit options data showed elevated 30-day delta skew reflecting increased demand for downside protection among professional traders. Market commentary said institutional demand for Ether has cooled as investors favor short-term US government bonds amid elevated funding costs, with the US 2-year Treasury yield near 3.4%, ETH staking yield near 2.9%, and annual ETH supply growth around 0.8%.

Dreamcash has not disclosed the investment size and stated the initiative aims to lower entry barriers and encourage early participation.

Ethereum's rebound from last week's low appears overlapping and corrective, lacking a clean five-wave impulsive confirmation, and downside risk remains without a decisive break above the weekend high on Feb. 13, 2026, More Crypto Online reports. The price is trading inside a technically significant demand zone, with recent liquidation-driven moves leaving scope for sharp countertrend bounces; short-term volatility and false breaks in both directions remain possible around macro events, and US CPI data is scheduled for release today. On-chain data show the realized price for accumulation addresses has maintained a steady uptrend since 2018 as long-term holders continued accumulating and their average entry price rose; historically, major cycle bottoms formed when market price approached or briefly dipped below this realized price, including in 2018–2019 and in 2022. A decisive break below the realized price would place many accumulation addresses underwater, while the "orange scenario" still allows another leg lower and keeps the structure defensive until an impulsive break higher, and most whales are "deep underwater" on ETH, Gerla said on Feb. 12, 2026.

Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT) rose 17% after launching borrowing against natively staked SOL in qualified custody, in partnership with Anchorage Digital and Kamino.

The setup allows institutions to keep assets in custody while earning a 7% staking yield.

Polymarket launched 5-minute crypto prediction markets allowing traders to bet on whether BTC and hundreds of other crypto pairs will rise or fall within each five-minute interval, with instant settlement powered by Chainlink's decentralized oracle, the project said. The new products expand on Polymarket's existing 15-minute markets that went live last October and are resolved using Chainlink's BTC/USD data stream, removing the need for a centralized price feed. One-minute prediction markets and a POLY token are also reportedly in the pipeline, while Polymarket states it has grown into the world's largest prediction market after acquiring CFTC-licensed exchange QCEX for $112 million and partnering for integrated market data.
