The Bank of Italy has modeled what would happen to $ETH security and settlement capacity if the price of Ether fell to zero, treating the network as critical financial infrastructure rather than just a speculative crypto asset.
In a new research paper titled “What if Ether Goes to Zero? How Market Risk Becomes Infrastructure Risk in Crypto,” Bank of Italy economist Claudia Biancotti examines how an extreme price shock in Ether (ETH) could affect Ethereum‑based financial services that rely on the network for transaction processing and settlement.
Biancotti focuses on the link between validators’ economic incentives and the stability of the underlying blockchain used by stablecoins and other tokenized assets.
The paper models how validators, who are rewarded in ETH, might respond if the token’s price collapsed and their rewards lost sufficient value.
In that scenario, a portion of validators could rationally exit, Biancotti argues, which would reduce the total stake securing the network, slow block production, and weaken Ethereum’s ability to withstand certain attacks and guarantee the timely, final settlement of transactions.

The cryptocurrency market is flashing bullish signals as Ethereum (ETH) reclaims the $3,900 mark for the first time since late 2024. This 6% daily jump has sparked a broader rally, lifting several major altcoins — including Sui (SUI).
SUI has turned green with an impressive 9% daily jump, extending its monthly gains to over 31%. However, its current chart structure reveals a familiar price behavior, which may offer clues about its next move.

Fast forward to the present, and SUI seems to be repeating the same structure.
It recently bounced off the 100-day MA and has now reclaimed the 25-day MA — once again marked by a red circle, placing the asset in a similar position to its last breakdown.

SUI?
If this fractal pattern continues to unfold, a breakdown below the 25-day MA support at $3.79 would act as confirmation. This would open the door for a drop toward the 100-day MA at $3.42, and possibly a further decline toward the wedge’s lower trendline near $2.80 — representing a 26% drop from current levels.
However, if bulls manage to hold the 25-day MA, this would invalidate the bearish scenario and signal strength. In this case, SUI could climb higher, potentially retesting the upper resistance of the wedge around $4.40.
