Event organizer Adriane Gerrard-Gauthier said every vendor is vetted before being accepted to the night market.

'(There's) very little plastic, and there's very little waste from their production methods. 'People are kind of surprised, because it's everyday products. It's nothing quirky.

The Second-Largest Crypto in the World Is Up 65% Over the Past Month. Here Are 5 Catalysts Behind the Surge.

Key Points Ethereum ETFs had inflows of $3.5 billion over a 12-day period, a sign of more institutional investment. 10 publicly traded companies now hold Ethereum in their company treasuries. Ethereum has the most activity on its blockchain and is a hub for stablecoins. 10 stocks we like better than Ethereum › Fortunes change quickly in the crypto market. Case in point: Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) has gone from a down year to one of the hottest cryptocurrencies in a matter of weeks. It's up 65% over the last month at the time of this writing (July 22), far outpacing market leader Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). Here's a look at the catalysts that have led to massive gains for Ethereum -- and why it could continue to go even higher. 1. Ethereum ETFs are seeing record inflows The SEC approved the first spot Ethereum ETFs last year, and while they've been successful so far, they really started to take off in the last few weeks. Ethereum ETFs passed their 12th consecutive day of positive inflows on July 21, accumulating $3.5 billion in total net inflows over that period. Bitcoin ETFs, on the other hand, ended a 12-day streak of positive inflows on July 21. And during that time, there were several days when Ethereum ETFs had higher daily inflows than Bitcoin ETFs. These ETF inflows are an indicator of growing interest in Ethereum from institutional investors. Institutional capital has been a key factor in Bitcoin's bull run, and it could do the same for Ethereum. 2. Companies are adding Ethereum to their treasuries Businesses are now buying cryptocurrencies for their corporate treasuries. Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency of choice, as there are currently 40 publicly traded companies holding it, according to CoinGecko. Combined, they hold 4% of the total Bitcoin supply, with a value of $100 billion. But Ethereum is gaining ground among companies that want to have cryptocurrency on their balance sheets. Ten companies are holding a combined $3 billion in Ethereum, including Coinbase, which has about $430 million. Even Bitmine Immersion Technologies, a Bitcoin mining company, has $1.1 billion in Ethereum. The amount of Ethereum held by public companies is still fairly small at less than 1%, so there's plenty of potential growth. 3. It's the most popular blockchain ecosystem Ethereum was the first major blockchain platform with smart contract functionality, giving developers a place to build decentralized apps (dApps) and create new crypto tokens. While many other blockchains have since emerged as competitors to Ethereum, its first-mover advantage has been tremendous. One way to evaluate the success of a blockchain is the total value locked (TVL) into its smart contracts and protocols. Ethereum's TVL is $82 billion, which is 59% of the TVL in the entire crypto market. What's most impressive is how Ethereum has largely been able to maintain its position even with increasing competition. It has generally been responsible for about 50% to 60% of the crypto market's TVL for over three years. 4. Ethereum is also the top blockchain for stablecoins Stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies tied to a fiat currency, have been a hot topic lately. The U.S. passed its first major piece of cryptocurrency legislation, the Genius Act, earlier this month, and it specifically deals with stablecoin regulations. The total combined market cap of stablecoins is on the rise and is now over $250 billion. Stablecoins are issued on blockchain networks, and Ethereum is the most common choice. It's responsible for about half the total stablecoin supply -- some $130 billion. The largest stablecoins operate on Ethereum, including Tether, USDC, and Dai. Since they maintain a consistent value, stablecoins are widely used and have high trading volumes. They also generate substantial transaction fees, and no blockchain benefits more than Ethereum. Over the last year, it has made over $6 billion in fees from Tether alone. 5. It's seen as a more affordable alternative to Bitcoin Bitcoin and Ethereum aren't direct competitors. Bitcoin is a store of value, while Ethereum is a smart contract blockchain, so they serve two very different roles. But some crypto investors look at Ethereum as an alternative to Bitcoin, particularly when they worry that the latter has gotten overvalued. That could be driving investments in Ethereum, along with the reasons above. Bitcoin costs about $120,000 and has a market cap of $2.4 trillion. A common question on crypto forums nowadays is whether it's too late to invest in Bitcoin. Ethereum costs about $3,700 and has a market cap of $450 billion. It also hasn't grown nearly as much as Bitcoin until recently. While both have their merits as crypto investments, there's an argument to be made that Ethereum could have more room to grow at its current value. Should you invest $1,000 in Ethereum right now?

J.D. Tuccille: Lower taxes are the best thing about the one, big, beautiful bill

Article content By contrast, the bottom 50 percent of earners paid 3 percent of federal income taxes on 11.5 percent of AGI. The U.S. tax system is very progressive; the more you make, the bigger the mugging by government. Article content In 2023, Pew Research crunched the numbers and found that 'all groups of taxpayers with $1 million or more in adjusted gross income (AGI) had average effective tax rates of more than 25 per cent.' On the other hand, 'tens of millions of Americans owed little or no federal income tax' because of low income and refundable tax credits. For those earning less than $30,000, the average effective tax rate was 1.5 per cent before taking tax credits into account. Because of those credits, millions of people actually get money from the government after filing taxes, effectively giving them a negative tax rate (-3.33 per cent for those earning $25,000 to $30,000, after credits are considered). Article content In fact, continues Pew, 'since 2000, there has been a downward trend in average effective tax rates for all but the richest taxpayers.' Article content As for those paying the lowest possible rates, adds the Tax Policy Center, in 2025 '40 per cent of households, or about 76 million 'tax units,' will pay no federal individual income tax.' About 70 per cent of those paying no income tax earn less than $75,000, and 45 per cent earn less than $40,000. The ranks of those paying no taxes were expected to shrink to 33.5 per cent by 2035 if the TCJA was not extended. Article content That doesn't mean that 40 per cent of the country is paying no taxes at all. Most still get forced to pay in to the federal Social Security and Medicare schemes just like everybody else, even if they prefer to make their own plans. And many states and some localities impose their own income taxes along with sales taxes. Of course, we all have to pay the tariffs on imports imposed by the federal government. Article content The U.S. isn't alone in the progressivity of its tax system. According to the Fraser Institute, in Canada, 'the top 20 per cent of income-earning families pay nearly two-thirds (64.5 per cent) of the country's personal income taxes and more than half (56.9 per cent) of total taxes' while earning 47.8 per cent of total income. Meanwhile, 'the bottom 20 per cent of income-earning families are estimated to pay 0.7 per cent of all federal and provincial personal income taxes and 1.9 per cent of total taxes in Canada' while earning 4.8 per cent of total income. For the top 20 per cent of Canadian earners, the average personal income tax rate is 22.8 per cent; for the bottom 20 per cent it's 2.4 per cent. (Canada's taxes, overall, are higher than those in the U.S. Its income tax burden is the fifth highest among nations in the OECD while the U.S. is 23rd.) Article content Article content That doesn't stop people in both countries from complaining that the wealthy aren't paying their 'fair share.' But it does raise the question of just what 'fair share' is supposed to mean when 40 per cent of income taxes are paid by the top 1 per cent of earners and 61 per cent are paid by the top 5 per cent — both numbers much larger than the proportion of total income that's being taxed. It's rather obvious that 'fair' is just an expression of envy and a euphemism for 'take it all to make me feel better.' Article content But envy isn't something that should be indulged in a free society. And, if we can find a way to lower taxes for everybody, that's a great way to encourage people to work for their own benefit. Article content Again, there's plenty to object to in the OBBB. The fact that, like so much legislation these days, it was turned into a grab bag of unrelated items with an up-or-down vote on the whole mess required is just the beginning. Projections that it will send the deficit and debt soaring also raise concerns. Article content
