JPMorgan analysts indicate that despite the overall recovery of the crypto market following the Iran conflict, Ethereum and other altcoins continue to underperform Bitcoin. This trend, which has persisted since 2023, may be difficult to reverse in the short term unless there is a significant improvement in network activity, DeFi, and real-world applications.The report points out that, based on spot ETF flows and institutional futures positions, Bitcoin has shown stronger recovery momentum than Ethereum. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recovered approximately two-thirds of their previous outflows, while spot Ethereum ETFs have only recovered about one-third.Meanwhile, CME futures data shows that institutional investors have been more active in rebuilding their Bitcoin exposure, with Bitcoin futures positions nearly fully recovered. In contrast, Ethereum futures positions remain below previous levels. JPMorgan believes that without stronger on-chain fundamentals and real-world application support, ETH and altcoins are likely to continue underperforming relative to Bitcoin.
according to sources familiar with the matter, MetaMask developer Consensys has postponed its U.S. IPO plans to earliest this fall. The company originally planned to submit a draft S-1 filing with the SEC by the end of February, but market demand weakened due to the market downturn in February, macroeconomic uncertainty, and Bitcoin ETF outflows. Besides Consensys, Kraken and Ledger have also paused their IPO plans.Consensys completed a $450 million funding round in 2022 at a valuation of $7 billion. Additionally, BitGo, which was the first crypto company to go public in 2026, raised $213 million but has since seen its stock price drop 36% from its $18 offering price, reflecting the public market's cautious approach toward valuing crypto infrastructure companies.

According to on-chain analyst ZachXBT (@zachxbt), the market capitalization of $LAB has recently surged to a $6 billion FDV, but serious issues lie beneath the surface: 1. Opaque token distribution: $LAB was co-founded by Vova Sadkov and Mark. Their prior project, Eesee ($ESE), faced criticism from investors. Platforms including CoinGecko, RootData, and CoinMarketCap provide conflicting data on LAB’s token distribution, with over 95% of the supply controlled by a small number of parties. 2. Unilateral amendment of terms: The team unilaterally extended the lock-up period for Legion’s public sale from three months to nine months. Additionally, multiple creators have reported delayed marketing partnership payments—some outstanding for several months—with no response from the team. 3. Opaque private loans: LAB privately offers loan agreements carrying a 7.5% monthly interest rate and a six-month term. The borrower is BVI shell company The Lab Management Ltd., signed by Vova Sadkov in his capacity as director; in case of default, repayment is to be made in LAB tokens at “market price.” 4. Anomalous on-chain fund movements: The borrower’s wallet (0xf09c) is identical to LAB’s public buyback wallet and exhibits on-chain linkages with another borrowing address (0x3185) associated with the Wildcat platform—suggesting related funds may have flowed into Vova’s personal exchange account.
