BitMine Immersion Technologies added 35,000 ETH on February 18, 2026, extending a rapid accumulation phase that pushed its corporate treasury to roughly 4.37 million ETH by February 19.

Optimism’s OP token slid hard, dropping more than 20% and briefly approaching a 23% decline within a 24-hour window after Coinbase’s Base said it would move off the OP Stack in favor of a unified, in-house technology stack.

This pattern runs counter to the popular “whales bought the dip” storyline and instead suggests that the biggest holders were a meaningful source of sell-side pressure during the move.

NFT Market Cap Falls to $1.46B, Reversing Much of the 2021 Boom

Editorial portrait of a financial analyst at a newsroom reviewing NFT market cap around $1.46B with downward trend.
