Etherealize: Ethereum Could Surge to $250,000, "Productive Money" Narrative Gains Attention

Odaily News According to Etherealize's latest research report, which proposes the "Productive Money" theory, if Ethereum captures the combined monetary premium of approximately $31 trillion currently held by gold and Bitcoin, its implied price could exceed $250,000, far above the current level of around $2,300.The report points out that ETH not only possesses traditional monetary attributes such as scarcity, verifiability, and censorship resistance but can also generate an annualized yield of about 2%–4% through staking, achieving an "interest-bearing" monetary characteristic, thereby distinguishing it from non-productive assets like gold and Bitcoin.Furthermore, within the DeFi system, ETH serves a triple demand source as a "collateral asset + fee-burning mechanism + staking lock-up," forming a mechanism for supply contraction and value accumulation. The report believes that with the development of on-chain finance and asset tokenization, ETH is expected to simultaneously possess the dual attributes of a "store of value + productive asset."However, the report also notes that ETH's path to achieving this valuation still faces multiple uncertainties including regulation, technology, and competition. Its long-term value revaluation depends on the market's recognition of its monetary properties.

France Sees Surge in Crypto-Related Kidnapping Cases; Pnaco Has Filed Charges Against 88 Individuals

According to Le Monde, France’s National Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (PNACO) revealed that ransom kidnappings linked to cryptocurrencies have surged sharply since 2023—18 cases in 2024, escalating to 67 in 2025, and reaching 47 so far in 2026, totaling 135 cases. Among the 12 ongoing investigations, 88 individuals—including over 10 minors—have been formally charged, and 75 have been placed in provisional detention. Prosecutor Vanessa Pereira noted that investigations have identified multiple suspects repeatedly involved across several cases, revealing the existence of a structured criminal network. Representative cases include: in December 2025, three masked assailants in Charente forced a couple to transfer approximately €8 million worth of cryptocurrency; and in January 2025, David Balland, co-founder of cryptocurrency hardware wallet company Ledger, was kidnapped. PNACO stated it will continue intensifying nationwide criminal enforcement efforts.

CryptoQuant: Bitcoin Rally Faces Profit-Taking Pressure as Exchange Inflows Surge

Odaily News CryptoQuant indicates that Bitcoin's recent rally is facing increasing risks of selling pressure, with on-chain data showing a significant rise in funds flowing into exchanges.Bitcoin previously broke through $76,000 but faced downward pressure and retreated when approaching the key resistance zone around $76,800. This level corresponds to the "on-chain realized price" range, which has historically often acted as a top for rallies, as many investors whose holdings are nearing breakeven tend to sell.Data shows that the hourly inflow of Bitcoin into exchanges has risen to approximately 11,000 BTC, the highest level since late 2025, which is typically viewed as a potential signal of selling pressure. Simultaneously, the scale of transfers into exchanges by large holders (whales) is also expanding.Analysis suggests that if this resistance level remains effective, Bitcoin may face short-term correction pressure, with a key support level around $67,600.

AI-Driven Vulnerability Bounty Reports Surge, Leaving Crypto Protocol Teams Overwhelmed by “AI Spam”

According to Cointelegraph, the widespread adoption of AI is driving up the number of submissions to cryptocurrency industry bug bounty programs—but a flood of low-quality “AI spam” reports has also emerged, placing a heavy burden on protocol teams for triaging. Barry Plunkett, Co-CEO of Cosmos Labs, stated that submission volume to its platform surged 900% year-on-year, with 20–50 reports received daily; Kadan Stadelmann, CTO of Komodo Platform, likewise noted a marked rise in low-quality and false-positive reports, attributing the root cause primarily to AI’s drastic reduction in the cost of generating reports. Daniel Stenberg, creator of the open-source tool curl, has already shut down his bug bounty program outright due to being overwhelmed. In response, industry insiders recommend that teams deploy defensive AI systems to automatically triage reports and adopt stricter submission criteria—reducing the volume of invalid reports and ensuring genuine vulnerabilities receive timely attention.

Tom Lee: Crypto "Mini Winter" May Have Ended, ETH Could Surge to $60,000

Odaily News Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated at the Paris Blockchain Week 2026 conference that the current downturn in the crypto market resembles a "mini crypto winter" and may be nearing its end. He believes that risk assets have already bottomed out amidst "bad news" such as geopolitical conflicts.He pointed out that Ethereum is expected to break out of its long-term consolidation and will benefit from the tokenization trend and the development of on-chain AI (agentic AI) applications in the future. If his market assumptions hold true, the price of ETH could move towards the $60,000 level, with a long-term fair value potentially reaching around $62,000 (based on his estimate of Ethereum reaching approximately one-fourth of Bitcoin's market capitalization).Lee emphasized that the U.S. stock market has already bottomed out first, leading to a recovery in risk assets, while this round of crypto correction is a rare "non-synchronized bear market cycle with the stock market." He also mentioned that markets often form bottoms after major negative events such as wars. As of now, ETH has fallen by about 43% from its October 2025 high, and the market remains in a clear volatile range. (Cointelegraph)
