Exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors have withdrawn nearly $1.82 billion from spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs that are based in the US over the last five trading days, with the weakening of market sentiment following the precious metals rally. According to Farside, spot BTC ETFs lost $1.49 billion, while spot Ether ETFs experienced $327.10 million in net outflows.

ETF Outflows

The outflows coincide with the spot prices of both cryptocurrencies dropping, despite brief signs of their recovery. BTC and Ether prices have dropped 6.55% and 8.99%, respectively, over the last week and are now trading at $83,400 and $2,685, according to CoinMarketCap. The price of Bitcoin has declined by 5.13% in the past 30 days.

Analyst Perspectives

Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst, described the negativity around Bitcoin’s recent price action in relation to gold and silver as “very short-sighted”.

“Bitcoin spanked everything so badly in ’23 and ’24,” Balchunas said, pointing out that people appear to have forgotten that. Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer of Bitwise, stated on X on January 15 that “If ETF demand continues over the long term, Bitcoin’s price will go parabolic.”

Market Outlook

The recent withdrawal of funds and drop in prices have changed the sentiment of the market. Some analysts even warn of a possible leverage shakeout. On the other hand, the same analysts believe that long-term investors can use this situation to buy BTC and Ether at discounted prices.

To sum up, the crypto market is going through a turbulent phase as investors are cashing out their BTC’s and Ether-related ETFs. While certain analysts interpret such behaviour as a bad sign, others argue that it gives one a chance to buy at a discount.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
