Among the minority, SPX6900 (SPX), DeXe Protocol (DEXE), and PancakeSwap (CAKE) record mild gains as Coinbase adds CAKE to the asset roadmap, increasing the listing chances, and DEXE announces a writer’s guild program to incentivize its promotion. 

Here's why Ethereum stalled despite strong ETF inflows and record-low exchange reserves

Ethereum (ETH) trades around $2,600 on Wednesday, maintaining its consolidation despite intense buying pressure across ETH exchange-traded funds and crypto exchanges. The flat prices potentially stem from rising short positions neutralizing the impact of buying pressure in the spot market. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led the pack on Tuesday with a single-day net inflow of $77 million. Notably, BlackRock's ETHA has accumulated 214,000 ETH since May 11, according to data posted by on-chain wallet tracker Lookonchain.
