After Ethereum, Bitcoin Whales Pile Back In With V-Shaped Accumulation

Analysts are taking notice of Bitcoin after Ethereum's accumulation patterns  where Tom Lee noted that Ethereum has repeatedly recovered in a V-shape after significant declines.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Limiting tariff powers might make policies less uncertain, ease inflation, and give Bitcoin a chance to go up again before the end of the year, according to Tom Lee.</li><li>The ruling limits the broad tariff authority, but the White House's pushback keeps the policy risk high in the short term.</li><li>In the past, tariff increases caused big drops in crypto and stock prices, showing that trade policy is a major risk factor.</li></ul>Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee said Supreme Court hearings on the administration’s tariff powers could be a positive catalyst for crypto, arguing that limiting tariffs could reduce uncertainty and support risk assets.In an interview with CNBC on Friday, Lee&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh34Wnd5U8s">said</a> investors seemed relieved that the Court may place limits on broad executive tariff authority. He said once markets move past the tariff agenda, attention could return to cooling inflation, softer labor data, and the prospect of Federal Reserve rate cuts.&nbsp;“With positive Washington tailwinds, I think Bitcoin can do well to the end of the year,” Lee said, adding that Bitcoin reaching $150,000 or higher remains possible even though sentiment feels weak.Lee said recent market weakness has been largely driven by uncertainty over trade policy. He explained that tariffs can push inflation higher and make it harder for the Fed to cut rates. If the court limits tariffs, inflation pressure could ease, giving the Fed more room to lower rates and improving conditions for risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC).Lee also added that the Court’s involvement could reduce one of the biggest sources of policy uncertainty facing markets. He argued that clarity around trade policy may allow investors to focus again on inflation trends and rate expectations rather than headline risk.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Supreme Court Blocks Trump Tariffs But White House Pushes Back</h2>On Friday, the Supreme Court dealt a big blow to President Donald Trump by saying that he went too far when he used a law meant for national emergencies to impose wide-ranging tariffs.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2024921307855417373?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_02_21_at_2_49_49_AM_png_3bac9b1fe5.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-21 at 2.49.49 AM.png" width="966" height="1008"></a><figcaption>White House announces tariffs will stay in place as President Trump adds another 10% tarriff on countries.

CockCardano

COCK (CockCardano) is trending as its community highlights real-world asset (RWA) utility through Cocky Wings LLC, which generates revenue for token buybacks on the Cardano blockchain. Many believe it is more than just a meme coin, pointing to passive earning opportunities within its Arena and a strong, active "Flock" driving its momentum.

Synthetix is a decentralized perpetual futures protocol built on Ethereum Mainnet. Synthetix uses a hybrid design — off-chain order matching on a high-performance CLOB with on-chain settlement — to deliver low latency, deep liquidity, and MEV-resistant execution while keeping custody and finality on Ethereum. Traders get CEX-like performance with on-chain security and composability. The protocol’s liquidity is provided by the Synthetix Liquidity Provider (SLP) vault and backstopped by staked SNX collateral, which underwrites the issuance of the sUSD stablecoin and the solvency of the SLP vault.

Synthetix Network 

Synthetix (SNX) is generating buzz around a potential Robinhood listing and the imminent launch of its V3 perp DEX on Ethereum Mainnet, which includes a $1 million trading competition. This, combined with news of no further token inflation, fuels strong bullish sentiment and price targets, despite some skepticism about short-term pumps.

Orca is the most user-friendly DEX on Solana.  Orca is one of the first general-purpose AMMs launched on Solana. Users can swap assets, provide liquidity, and earn yield through an easy-to-use interface. Projects can use Orca as a money-lego to easily integrate swapping, farming, or on-chain data into their dApp.  Orca strives to provide easy and effective financial tools for everyone, bringing DeFi to the masses.

Orca

ORCA is trending with a strong short squeeze dynamic, fueled by an exchange hack impacting Solana assets and subsequent market reactions, as the community actively speculates on continued upside given its role as a leading Solana DEX and recent ecosystem advancements.

Cardano is a blockchain platform built on academic research that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications while using significantly less energy than traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.   What sets Cardano apart is its methodical, research-driven approach — every major feature is peer-reviewed by scientists and cryptographers before being added to the network. This careful process aims to create a more secure and stable foundation compared to platforms that prioritize speed over thorough testing. The platform's native cryptocurrency, ADA, is used to send money, pay transaction fees, and participate in network governance.  Cardano uses a proof-of-stake system to process transactions, which works differently from Bitcoin's mining approach. Instead of competing to solve complex puzzles, users can "stake" their ADA — essentially locking it up temporarily — to become validators who verify transactions. The system selects validators based on how much ADA they've staked and for how long, then rewards them with additional ADA for their participation. This approach uses far less energy than traditional mining while keeping the network secure. The platform also features a two-layer design that separates basic payment transactions from smart contract operations, allowing each function to be optimized independently for better performance.   ADA holders can earn staking rewards by locking up their tokens to help secure the network, vote on proposed changes to the platform, and use ADA for international money transfers with lower fees than traditional services.  Cardano was founded in 2017 by Charles Hoskinson, who previously helped create Ethereum. Hoskinson leads Input Output Global (IOG), the technology company that builds and maintains Cardano's core software. The ecosystem operates through three organizations: IOG handles technical development, the Cardano Foundation promotes adoption and standardization, and Emurgo helps businesses integrate blockchain technology into their operations. This structure distributes responsibilities across multiple groups rather than concentrating control in a single entity.   In February 2025, major asset manager Grayscale Investments filed to create an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for Cardano with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which would allow traditional investors to buy ADA through their regular brokerage accounts without needing to set up cryptocurrency wallets.Retry
