Analyst: Ethereum MVRV has shown a diverging trend since 2022, with a key inflection point at the transition to PoS

2025.04.20 14:08:25

On April 20th, on-chain data analyst Murphy released an analysis of ETH based on token flow and value ratio. Since the end of December 2022, the percentage of ETH's on-platform traffic has dropped below 35%. Previously, in September 2021, this number exceeded 50%. This indicates that in the flow in/flow out ratio on the trading platform, ETH used to be on an equal footing with BTC, but now the percentage has significantly decreased, suggesting that the attention to ETH is waning. Starting from December 2022, a clear divergence has emerged between Bitcoin's MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value ratio) (blue line) and Ethereum's MVRV (yellow line). Before this, for 7 years, this indicator always alternated in terms of dominance, with either ETH being stronger or BTC being stronger at different times. However, the blue line has consistently been below the yellow line, indicating that since December 2022 until today, the unrealized profits of ETH holders have always been lower than those of BTC. Whether looking at exchange platform data or on-chain data, the turning point for Ethereum's trend seems to be December 2022. Coincidentally, on September 15, 2022, the Ethereum mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain, completely ending PoW mining and transitioning to the PoS consensus mechanism, and everything changed after that. As the weakening trend of sentiment subsides, the capital inflow into the two major mainstream assets, BTC and ETH, has significantly decreased since December last year. However, BTC still maintains a positive inflow of $5.4 billion in the past 30 days. In contrast, ETH has shifted to a net outflow since February 15 and has seen an outflow of $6.2 billion in the last 30 days as of yesterday. The attitude of funds is a crucial factor in determining price and trends, and for ETH to revive its trend, it will need to wait for renewed attention from capital.

Breaking news from Beating AI Insight: After Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk successively called for slowing down frontier AI development, Donald Trump has explicitly rejected such appeals. He acknowledged that safety guardrails could be added to AI, but argued that many catastrophic predictions will never come to pass. Trump stated that the U.S. is currently ahead of China in AI and hopes to maintain that lead. "Whoever wins the AI race wins everything," he said. He also criticized that many "negative forces" are hyping things that will never happen.

Doubao Mobile Assistant Officially Launches: GUI Operation App Remains, App Can Reject AI Operations

Beating AI News: Doubao Officially Launches Consumer Version of Its Mobile Assistant. It remains an AI assistant software that operates in collaboration with mobile manufacturers at the system level. The first mass-produced device, nubia NaviX Ultra, was previously announced and is set to launch and go on sale on September 16. The "phone operation" feature, which sparked the most controversy earlier, has not been scrapped and remains in Beta form. Doubao also launched the SAEP (Screen Automation Operation Declaration Protocol), allowing third-party apps to set their own rules on whether the AI can perform screen reading, tapping, and operations within their apps; if an app explicitly refuses, Doubao will not proceed with automated operations. In July, LatePost reported that the new generation of Doubao mobile assistant would no longer directly operate super apps like Alibaba and Tencent via GUI. Only when these apps proactively open MCP services can Doubao call their relevant data and functions. MCP refers to interfaces that apps proactively open for Doubao, while SAEP governs the scope of operations developers allow Doubao to perform when interacting with apps via screen reading and simulated taps. Both mechanisms are now in place simultaneously.

Bonk Guy’s shilling of the Arc Chain Launchpad platform has sparked criticism, with the platform facing accusations of holding rug pull privileges.

Well-known crypto KOL Bonk Guy posted early this morning that he has purchased LONG, the native token of Arc’s main Launchpad, as well as the platform’s top three meme coins, citing short-term trading opportunities on the Arc blockchain. Driven by the news, LONG’s market cap surged 27-fold in a short period. On-chain analytics show that multiple new addresses accumulated LONG at low levels yesterday, and the pump pushed their positions to unrealized gains of hundreds of thousands of US dollars. Additionally, crypto KOL 0xShawn, who previously arbitraged $230,000 by minting BNC4 at off-exchange prices via Four.meme, stated that the long.supply platform holds rug pull privileges and can mint fake USDT at any time. The platform built a cross-chain bridge for Robinhood-chain stock tokens via its own custom cross-chain infrastructure; the stock tokens on the Arc chain are not issued by the official, but by the platform itself. Moreover, the cross-chain bridge’s underlying protocol is not a reliable one like Wormhole or LayerZero (L0). This means: "The project team can shut down the cross-chain bridge at any time and siphon off the locked funds from the Robinhood chain. You are essentially exchanging your real USDT for fake USDT on the Arc chain, similar to the eUSD platform before its launch, which was eventually shut down after an emergency investigation by authorities." BlockBeats reminds users that celebrity shilling may involve conflicts of interest, and users should carefully vet the security of related projects and invest cautiously.
