Coinbase Research: Bitcoin Breaks Key Support, Market Possibly in Early Stage of Long-term Downtrend

2025.04.16 13:32:48

On April 16th, Coinbase Research presented a report indicating that both Bitcoin and the COIN50 Index have fallen beneath their respective 200-day moving averages. This suggests that the market might be in the initial stage of a long-term downward trend. This aligns with the trend of the total market capitalization decline and the contraction of VC funding. Both of these are key characteristics of a potential "crypto winter." The report points out that numerous signs may imply that extreme negative sentiment has emerged as global tariffs are being implemented and there is a possibility of further escalation. This indicates that a new "crypto winter" may be commencing. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency venture capital in the first quarter of 2025 rebounded from the previous quarter but still remains 50-60% below the peak levels of the 2021-2022 cycle. This significantly restricts new capital from entering the ecosystem, especially in altcoins. All these structural pressures stem from the broader macroeconomic environment's uncertainty. As traditional risk assets face continuous resistance due to fiscal austerity and tariff policies, this leads to decision-making paralysis. Despite some unique favorable regulatory factors, the path to crypto recovery remains arduous, even in the face of the poor performance of the stock market. The interaction of these factors makes the outlook for the digital asset space challenging, and caution may still be necessary in the short term (perhaps in the next 4-6 weeks). However, the report also advises investors to adopt a tactical market strategy and remain optimistic about the second half of 2025.

June 17 update: Onchain Lens monitoring shows Garret Jin’s whale wallet (dubbed "BTC OG Insider Whale") has added 366,423 UNI tokens to his 2x leveraged long position — and he’s still stacking more UNI. Jin also maintains existing long positions: 5x leverage on Bitcoin (BTC) and 2x leverage on Zcash (ZEC). In a separate move, Standard Chartered recently initiated coverage of Uniswap, predicting UNI could rally 40 times over to hit $100 by the end of 2030 (this forecast uses UNI’s roughly $2.70 price at the time of the report).

Helius Researcher Proposes Initiative to Accelerate SOL Inflation Reduction

On June 17, Helius researchers released the proposed SIMD-550, an update to Solana’s inflation plan that would double the protocol’s deflation rate—boosting it from -15% to -30%—and cut the speed of inflation decline in half. This would bring Solana’s inflation down to its long-term steady-state rate of 1.5% within 2.8 years (first half of 2029), a shift from the original timeline of 5.7 years (first half of 2032). According to their model, the proposal would reduce SOL issuance by 18.89 million tokens over six years, valued at roughly $15.1 billion, while gradually lowering nominal staking yields in the first three years: from around 5.84% to approximately 4.34%, 3.00%, and 2.25% respectively. The team expects the impact on profitable validators to be limited—only 2 validators would move from profitable or break-even to unprofitable in Year 1, followed by 13 in Year 2 and 30 in Year 3. SIMD-550 is a revised version of SIMD-411 (from November 2025), which was halted because the ecosy
