Crypto of the Day: The Graph (GRT)
🧠 Innovation and Value Proposition
The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data, often dubbed the “Google of blockchains.” It enables developers to create “subgraphs”—open APIs that define how on-chain data is structured, indexed, and accessed—then query them using GraphQL without managing the full node infrastructure themselves.
The protocol supports many chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum…) and aims to expand further, enhancing its value in the Web3 ecosystem as a core infrastructure layer for decentralized applications, analytics, and AI.
💰 The Token
GRT is the native token of The Graph network. It serves several purposes: paying query fees (by data consumers), rewarding ecosystem contributors (indexers, curators, delegators), and securing the protocol’s integrity through staking.
Holders can delegate their GRT to an indexer to indirectly participate in indexing activities and earn rewards. The token’s economic model is tightly linked to real network usage: as queries and projects using subgraphs increase, so too could demand for GRT.

Ethereum following in Bitcoin’s footsteps? A bullish supercycle ahead, says Tom Lee
Could Ethereum be on the verge of a historic rise comparable to Bitcoin’s past surges? That’s the view of renowned crypto expert Tom Lee, who envisions a “supercycle” for the world’s second-largest blockchain. His analysis, based on historical data and current signals, encourages a reevaluation of Ethereum’s trajectory for the coming years.
Tom Lee compares Ethereum to Bitcoin in 2017
Tom Lee, Executive Chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, draws a parallel between Ethereum’s current position and Bitcoin’s in 2017 during its spectacular rally. At the time, Lee advocated a modest allocation to Bitcoin, then trading around $1,000. Seven years later, that long-term bet proved extremely profitable, despite several sharp corrections. According to Lee, these fluctuations aren’t anomalies but part of a broader cycle driven by exponential growth. He refers to this as a “supercycle,” a prolonged bullish phase interspersed with severe pullbacks but underpinned by strong fundamentals.
Today, Ethereum could follow a similar path, even though it has lagged behind Bitcoin in 2025. In August, ETH peaked near $4,950, compared to BTC’s $126,000 in October. Since then, both have declined, but Ethereum has dropped more—about 35%, versus Bitcoin’s 24%. Lee doesn’t see this as a long-term weakness, but rather an opportunity for those who can handle volatility.
Positive on-chain signals and increasing accumulation
Beyond price action, certain on-chain indicators support the idea of a potential reversal. A key signal, according to Lee, is the growing accumulation of Ethereum by long-term holders. Currently, ETH is trading around $3,150—roughly 8% above its realized price average of $2,895. This threshold is often seen as a strong foundation for a bullish trend.
Lee also believes the recent drop may be the result of technical liquidations by weakened market makers. These sharp movements, while painful, don’t invalidate Ethereum’s long-term outlook, in his view. Rather, they offer opportunities for long-term investors who can withstand the “existential moments” inherent to any supercycle. In short, major gains are reserved for those who can endure uncertainty without panic.
The idea of a supercycle for Ethereum is sparking debate—but it also offers valuable insight into market dynamics. For Lee, the key is staying engaged through turbulence, guided by fundamental signals. Whether one agrees with him or not, his view prompts reflection on how crypto cycles unfold—and who truly manages to benefit from them.
