Bitcoin ETFs Shed $1 Billion in Five Days Amid Ethereum Comeback

Bitcoin ETFs Shed $1 Billion in Five Days Amid Ethereum Comeback

The post Bitcoin ETFs Shed $1 Billion in Five Days Amid Ethereum Comeback appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing a significant sell-off, with over $1.1 billion in outflows over the past five days as investors de-risk ahead of the Jackson Hole symposium. Ethereum ETF flows have bucked the bearish trend, with a strong inflow on August 21. Crypto market remains highly volatile with significant liquidations and key price levels in play, as traders await clarity on the Fed’s interest decision. Bitcoin ETFs continued their five-day streak of outflows, shedding over $1.1 billion in the past week as investors de-risk ahead of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s final address at Friday’s Jackson Hole symposium. This widespread sell-off in risk-on assets has coincided with a 10% crash in Bitcoin’s price since its August 14 all-time high of $124,545. U.S. equities have also suffered a similar fate, with the S&P 500 index down 1.72% since its own high on August 13. The large-scale de-risking across ETFs and cryptocurrency markets can be attributed to a concerning inflation data released in August, leading to a significant shift in the market’s rate cut perspective. The rate cut odds, as a result, have dropped from 90% to 75%, triggering an outflow spree in Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum ETF flows, however, have bucked the bearish trend, noting a $286.7 million inflow on August 21, ending the four-day outflow streak. “Ethereum is going through one of the strangest weeks these days,” Arthur Azizov, Founder and Investor at B2 Ventures, told Decrypt. The market is “stuck between adoption and stress,” Aziziv said, highlighting the buyers’ inability to move prices despite positive news like BTCS’s plan to pay dividends in Ethereum. The recent $3.8 billion in staking validator exits have added selling pressure to Ethereum, said Azizov, but clarified that the long-term institutional trend is a “key tailwind” since these large investors control 5%…

How Hard Could Powell’s Address Hit BTC Prices?

How Hard Could Powell’s Address Hit BTC Prices?

The post How Hard Could Powell’s Address Hit BTC Prices? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole approaches, the key question on everyone’s mind is: how volatile could bitcoin BTC$116,637.55 become? The answer points to moderate volatility, not the extreme swings that the widespread attention on the event might suggest. “BTC options are pricing in about a ±2.0% move around Powell’s Jackson Hole speech,” Pulkit Goyal, head of trading at crypto market maker Orbit Markets, told CoinDesk. Orbit specializes in crypto options and structured derivatives. Traders use the pricing of options with different strike prices and maturities and implied volatility and option greeks to gauge an expected range of price movement. Implied volatility refers to the market’s expectation on how much the underlying asset is expected to move over a specific time frame. Volmex’s one-day implied volatility index (BVIV1D) has increased to an annualized 49% as of writing, the highest since May 26, according to data source TradingView. That equates to a 24-hour price swing of 2.5%. That’s slightly higher than the average daily move of 1.18% over the past 30 days. Note that volatility is direction-agnostic, meaning price swings hinted by options and implied volatility indices can unfold in either direction. That said, downside volatility looks more likely in case Powell sounds balanced, contrasting widespread expectations for rate cut hints. Some traders have been picking up put options preparing for such an outcome. “If his tone leans more balanced than dovish, markets could see a retracement, which has driven demand for downside protection. The skew tells the story: overnight 25-delta risk reversals are currently 6 vols put over call,” Goyal told CoinDesk. Powell is scheduled to speak Friday morning at the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.

The Fastest Route From $100 to Early Retirement

The Fastest Route From $100 to Early Retirement

The post The Fastest Route From $100 to Early Retirement appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News A new executive order signed by former President Trump could reshape how Americans save for retirement by allowing 401(k) plans to include alternative assets such as cryptocurrency, private equity, and real estate alongside traditional stocks and bonds.  While this shift would “democratize” access to investments once reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy, it also brings heightened risks. Private equity funds often come with steep fees and decade-long lockups, while crypto’s volatility and lack of regulation make it a risky bet for retirement portfolios. Experts caution that while these assets might appeal to younger investors willing to take on higher risk, they may not always be the “best” opportunities, with employers ultimately responsible for offering prudent options under fiduciary law. This policy change reflects a broader trend where digital assets are increasingly woven into mainstream finance. With crypto gaining traction in treasury strategies, ETFs, and now potentially retirement plans, investor exposure to the sector is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Within this landscape, projects like Tapzi stand out for building real utility beyond speculation. Unlike tokens tied purely to price swings, Tapzi’s focus on skill-based Web3 gaming, transparent prize pools, and developer integration points to a structural model where token value is tied to ecosystem growth. For long-term investors weighing which altcoins could move from niche assets to foundational infrastructure, Tapzi provides a case study in how gaming and blockchain would intersect in the next cycle of adoption. Hence, it emerges as one of the best crypto coins to buy now, amongst others. Discover 6 other promising crypto coins to buy in August that can drive similar results. 7 Best Crypto Coins To Buy Now With Low Entry Point For Early Retirement Below is a list of the 7 best crypto coins to buy now: Tapzi (TAPZI) Kaspa (KAS)…

Digital Euro, EU turning point underway

Digital Euro, EU turning point underway

The post Digital Euro, EU turning point underway appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The pressure on the digital euro continues to grow: in 2025 the market for stablecoin in dollars is estimated to be around $288 billion (data to be verified Reuters, June 2025). After the approval of the GENIUS Act – the US law on stablecoin signed by the President in 2025 Cryptonomist –, Brussels and the ECB are accelerating the dossier, also putting on the table the hypothesis of implementations on public blockchains like Ethereum and Solana. Industry analysts note that political and market urgency has pushed the BCE and national authorities to intensify technical tests and operational impact assessments. According to data collected from comparative studies between institutions and research centers, over 80% of central banks have initiated forms of exploration or design of CBDC (see report by the Bank for International Settlements, 2021). The experiments in the preparation phase of the BCE include tests on privacy, scalability, and integration with European instant payments, with results that will be crucial for architectural choices. In brief: the 3 key facts EU Acceleration: the technical phase of the digital euro is driven by increasing regulatory pressure and international competition. Open technological options: public networks (Ethereum, Solana), permissioned platforms, and hybrid solutions are being evaluated. Strategic objective: ensure monetary sovereignty, interoperability, and privacy in line with the EU regulatory framework (MiCA and proposals on the digital euro). What changes for Europe (and why now) The new U.S. regulation has raised the bar for competition. For this reason, European institutions are intensifying work on the project of CBDC, to prevent the global infrastructure of digital payments from revolving exclusively around the dollar. In this context, the BCE continues in the preparation phase of the digital euro, experimenting with architectures, privacy-by-design models, and integrations with existing systems; meanwhile, the European Commission refines the regulatory framework…

Next Crypto to Explode by 2026

Next Crypto to Explode by 2026

The post Next Crypto to Explode by 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Every cycle, thousands of people hunt for the next crypto coin set to explode, the one that turns a small bag into a life-changing win. And here’s the twist: it’s rarely the ones you already know. By the time everyone and their grandma is talking about Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, the biggest gains are already gone. That’s why fresh eyes should be on the new names rising quietly under the radar like EarthMeta that is often described as the next crypto coin set to explode. So, how do you spot them before the fireworks begin?  Why could 2025 be the turning point for altcoins? Here’s the deal: crypto runs in cycles. It’s not random chaos (well, it looks like chaos sometimes, but it’s organized chaos). Every four years, Bitcoin goes through what’s called a halving cycle. That’s when the reward for mining Bitcoin gets cut in half, making it scarcer. Historically, this has always triggered the next big bull run. Think of it like Starbucks announcing they’re only going to make half the amount of pumpkin spice lattes this fall. People will panic, stock up, and suddenly your $5 latte is selling on eBay for $50. Scarcity breeds demand. Same logic. In 2025, ETFs (exchange-traded funds) will likely be fully rolled out in traditional markets, and institutions will have one foot (or maybe both feet) firmly planted in crypto. Translation: more money flooding in, more attention, more legitimacy. That sets the stage for altcoins : the smaller cryptos to shine. Because once Bitcoin soaks up the first wave of attention, people start looking at the smaller coins and asking: “Okay, where’s my 100x?” That’s when things get really interesting. Altcoin season vs Bitcoin dominance: The big switch Here’s something that confuses newcomers: why do some coins moon while…

US spot ether etfs rebound with $287.6 million inflows after four days of outflows

US spot ether etfs rebound with $287.6 million inflows after four days of outflows

The post US spot ether etfs rebound with $287.6 million inflows after four days of outflows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After four straight days of outflows, US spot Ether ETFs recorded $287.6 million in net inflows on Thursday, per SoSoValue’s data. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) dominated those inflows, pulling in $233.5 million. Meanwhile, Fidelity’s FETH only added $28.5 million while other Ether ETFs saw modest inflows, averaging about $6 million.  From Aug. 15 through Wednesday, spot Ether ETFs bled over $924 million, making Thursday’s rebound a notable turnaround. Tuesday alone saw $429 million in withdrawals, the month’s second-heaviest outflow after the $465 million on Aug. 4. Nonetheless, before outflows started on August 15, August 14 ranked the fourth-highest day for spot ETH ETFs since their launch. Even then, BlackRock’s ETHA led with $519.7 million of the total $639.6 million in net inflows recorded that day. Spot ether ETFs holdings are valued at close to $28 billion Thursday’s ETF gains pushed cumulative net inflows above $12 billion. Spot Ether ETFs now hold 6.42 million ETH, valued at about $27.66 billion, according to the Strategic ETH Reserve (SER). Also, spot Ether now makes up almost 6% of total Ether circulation. Meanwhile, corporate treasury reserves and other long-term institutional holdings have reached 4.10 million ETH — equal to about $17.66 billion and about 3.39% of Ether’s cumulative supply, per SER.  Firms, including SharpLink Gaming, have been increasingly making Ethereum purchases. With a fresh $667 million Ether buy on Tuesday, SharpLink Gaming lifted its reserves to over 740,000 ETH worth $3.2 billion. It now ranks as the second-largest ETH holder among corporates, after Bitmine Immersion Tech’s 1.5 million ETH. However, corporations’ buildup of ETH reserves has drawn community attention, fueling discussions on whether these moves provide meaningful value to the network. For starters, on Wednesday, a Reddit community member opened a discussion on whether treasury companies accumulating ETH actually strengthen Ethereum. To which…
