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.
Odaily Odaily News Gate Research recently released its "April 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Review" report, indicating that the overall cryptocurrency market saw a volatile upward trend in April, with total market capitalization significantly higher than in March. BTC and ETH ETF trading volumes maintained high volatility overall. The report shows continued divergence in activity across major public chain ecosystems. Solana's daily transaction volume remained in the range of approximately 90 million to 110 million transactions, maintaining its leading position.Regarding trending sectors, the report notes that Pokemon TCG RWA has become one of the fastest-growing on-chain RWA sub-sectors, entering a second explosive growth phase in April. Major trading platforms saw monthly trading volumes exceed $220 million, with weekly revenue briefly approaching $6 million, setting new historical records. Meanwhile, Aave experienced its most severe liquidity crisis ever in April, with TVL outflows reaching tens of billions of dollars within a few days and net outflows exceeding $9 billion for the entire month.In terms of fundraising and security incidents, the Web3 industry completed 51 financing rounds in April, totaling approximately $834 million, with capital further concentrating on leading financial and infrastructure tracks. Among these, Payward ranked first for the month with a $200 million financing round. On the security front, Web3 security incidents in April resulted in losses of approximately $306 million, a month-over-month increase of about 858%, primarily driven by a single cross-chain infrastructure attack on Kelp DAO worth approximately $293 million. The report suggests that against the backdrop of a recovering market, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are both increasing simultaneously. However, the security risks associated with cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols remain worthy of continued attention.

Trader Eugene posted that, due to Bitcoin’s failure to sustain its bullish momentum, he has exited his long SOL position at a stop-loss and stated he will step aside from the market for the time being. Previously, Eugene noted that among major assets, SOL had demonstrated stronger relative strength compared to ETH and HYPE, and believed it was most likely to break out first from its three-month sideways trading range. At that time, he pointed out that if SOL decisively broke above $96, the next key resistance level would be near $120—representing approximately 25% upside potential.
According to The Block, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, noted that three enterprise-grade blockchains—Arc (by Circle), Canton Network, and Tempo (by Stripe)—have collectively raised over $1 billion in funding recently. All three funding rounds occurred after the signing of the GENIUS Act in July 2025. Hougan believes this legislation broke a prior regulatory stalemate that had discouraged institutional capital from entering the space. Hougan identified three key signals: First, all three blockchains prioritize native privacy-preserving transactions as a core design feature, addressing institutions’ need for transaction confidentiality. Second, the implementation of the GENIUS Act has significantly reduced regulatory uncertainty; the next critical variable is the pending Clarity Act, from which stablecoins and tokenization infrastructure stand to benefit. Third, these blockchains are backed by top-tier institutions—including Goldman Sachs, Citadel, BlackRock, Stripe, and Visa—marking a stark contrast to Ethereum and Solana, which emerged from grassroots origins. Hougan stated that his firm’s capital remains primarily allocated to native crypto projects, and he believes these emerging enterprise chains will raise the overall competitive bar and attract additional capital inflows.
