🔹 Tether (USDT) Expands to Bitcoin

Tether just announced the launch of USDT on the Bitcoin blockchain via the RGB protocol. This marks a huge step for cross-chain adoption, bringing stablecoin liquidity directly into the Bitcoin ecosystem.

🔹 Ethereum Attracts Institutions

Ethereum is gaining serious traction among big players. Open interest in CME ETH futures has hit a record $10B, showing growing institutional confidence in the network.

🔹 Validator Exodus Shakes ETH

On the flip side, Ethereum is facing a record $4.6B validator exit queue, with withdrawal times now stretching beyond 17 days. Profit-taking pressure is mounting as stakers cash out.

📊 What This Means for the Market

  1. Bitcoin gets new stablecoin utility → could drive liquidity flows.

  2. Ethereum gains institutional trust → long-term bullish signal.

  3. Validator exits = short-term risks → may add volatility.

🔥 The market is at a turning point: Tether is bridging ecosystems, while Ethereum is balancing institutional growth against staking pressure.
