PlanB’s post expresses opposition to BIP 110’s filtering of forks and notes that fork supporters do not truly understand Bitcoin’s attributes as a decentralized bearer asset, that Bitcoin users’ aversion to spam is greater than it is toward other things, and why the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) fork failed back then. BIP-110 is a temporary soft-fork proposal, planning to add 7 consensus-limiting on-chain non-payment data items within an approximately one-year validity period. BIP-110 currently has only about a 1% miner support rate, far below the 55% required for approval.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said that the size of USDT and USDC inflow transactions into exchanges on the Ethereum network has been continuously declining. The current 30-day moving average is about $2.3 billion, below the roughly $3.7 billion 365-day moving average, and it has fallen to the lowest level since 2025. For comparison, when Bitcoin reached its all-time high, the two metrics were approximately $5.6 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. Darkfost believes this reflects weaker current market demand and investor interest, but stablecoin inflow peaks often represent a lagging signal.
