When you think about the internet, there are a few invisible heroes that quietly power our daily experience. TCP/IP made websites possible. HTTPS gave us trust in online payments. And then came “Sign in with Google” or “Sign in with Apple,” which simplified logging into apps with one click.

In Web3, that role is being played by WalletConnect. It may not be flashy, and it doesn’t have the brand recognition of MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet, but let’s be honest — if you’ve scanned a QR code to connect your wallet, chances are you’ve used WalletConnect without even realizing it.

And that’s exactly the point. Great infrastructure doesn’t demand the spotlight. It just works.

Why WalletConnect Matters for Users

Web3 is complicated. New chains emerge every week, wallets multiply, and dApps race to build innovative products. But for users, fragmentation means friction. Switching wallets, dealing with plugins, and constantly managing compatibility is exhausting.
WalletConnect solves this elegantly. A QR scan or a deep link, and you’re in. No extensions. No risky private key exposure. Just a secure handshake between your wallet and the dApp.

This is what makes it the “Sign in with Google” of Web3 — instant, universal, and trusted.

Beyond Just Wallets

What’s even more interesting is how WalletConnect is evolving. Its AppKit and WalletKit SDKs are quietly becoming the engine rooms for onboarding. They help developers reduce integration headaches and help users enjoy smoother multi-chain experiences.

And WalletConnect isn’t just sticking to DeFi. Its move into notifications and chat signals an ambition to become the communication layer of Web3. Imagine your wallet not only connecting you to dApps but also becoming your inbox for decentralized apps — that’s where this is heading.

Why Investors Should Care

Infrastructure projects like this are often underestimated because they’re invisible. But invisibility doesn’t mean irrelevance. It means essential. Every major dApp, from Uniswap to OpenSea, integrates WalletConnect.

That’s a moat no token launch or new SDK can replicate overnight. Even without a native token, WalletConnect has the kind of adoption most projects dream of. If it ever does tokenize, it could be one of the biggest infrastructure plays in crypto.

Final Word
WalletConnect doesn’t need hype. It’s already everywhere. The next time you scan that QR code to sign a transaction, remember: you’re witnessing one of Web3’s most important protocols at work.
Not all heroes wear capes. Some just quietly connect wallets.

Bitcoin is holding firm around the $70,000 level after one of its sharpest sell-offs this cycle, leaving investors split on what comes next. 

On-chain data, ETF flows, and market structure signals now point in two opposing directions, raising a key question: is Bitcoin preparing for another leg up, or setting up for renewed downside?

Selling Pressure Remains Elevated

One of the clearest warning signals comes from Bitcoin’s growth rate difference between market cap and realized cap. The indicator remains in negative territory, historically associated with heavier selling pressure.

When realized cap grows faster than market cap, it suggests coins are being redistributed at lower prices rather than pushed higher by fresh demand. 

In past cycles, this environment made sustained price “pumps” difficult, as rallies were often met with distribution rather than follow-through.

Overall, current conditions suggest a structural selling pressure overwhelming demand.

Whales are Buying Bitcoin Aggressively

At the same time, on-chain accumulation data tells a very different story. Inflows to long-term accumulation addresses surged sharply during the recent dip, marking the largest single-day inflow of this cycle.

Historically, such spikes tend to appear near local bottoms rather than tops. 

While accumulation does not guarantee an immediate rally, it signals that large holders are absorbing supply instead of distributing it.

This creates a floor effect, limiting downside even when broader sentiment remains fragile.

Price Holds Above Realized Value

Bitcoin is also trading well above its realized price, which currently sits near the mid-$50,000 range. That keeps the broader network in profit and reduces the risk of widespread capitulation.

Previous cycles show that deep, sustained bear markets typically occur only when price falls below realized levels for extended periods. 

For now, Bitcoin remains in a neutral-to-positive regime.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded heavy outflows during the crash, validating Arthur Hayes’ view that institutional hedging and dealer mechanics amplified the move. However, flows flipped back to strong inflows once prices stabilized near $60,000–$65,000.

That reversal suggests the worst forced selling has passed, though ETF demand has not yet returned to levels that would drive a breakout.

Taken together, the data points to a market caught between accumulation and distribution. Whale buying and ETF stabilization support the downside, while persistent sell pressure limits upside momentum.

In the near term, Bitcoin is more likely to remain range-bound around $70,000 than enter a decisive pump or dump. 

According to ChainCatcher, China International Capital Corporation (CICC) forecasts that U.S. inflation will experience compensatory increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for December 2025, January 2026, and April 2026.

If U.S. inflation remains strong in the near term, it could prompt the Federal Reserve to slow down its rate cuts, leading to a marginal tightening of global liquidity. This scenario may increase the uncertainty of major asset classes both domestically and internationally. CICC advises increasing allocations in commodities to hedge against risks and suggests buying stocks, gold, and U.S. Treasury bonds during market pullbacks.
