21Shares has launched two U.S. crypto index ETFs tracking multiple coins (Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin) under the ‘40 Act, which is more favorable to institutional investors.
The recent U.S. government shutdown has ended, and traders are now looking at how macro policy changes may impact crypto. $BTC
#bnb Binance.US is reportedly under renewed SEC scrutiny, raising compliance risk.
Despite the pardon, some analysts believe macro risk and regulatory uncertainty are still weighing on BNB.
On the other hand, there’s talk (via Finance Magnates) that Binance is nearing a “DOJ compliance exit” — if true, that could be very bullish for BNB. $BNB
#ETH Large ETH holders (“whales”) are reportedly accumulating: one article notes over $350 million in ETH bought during the recent dip.
But there’s also concern: the biggest RWA (real-world assets) fund, BUIDL, backed by BlackRock & Securitize, has cut its Ethereum exposure significantly — shifting to other chains like Avalanche, Aptos, and Polygon.
Meanwhile, some Wall Street firms are increasing their Ethereum holdings or treasury exposure, using similar strategies that were popular with Bitcoin. $ETH
The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is working on clearer accounting standards for crypto, including how companies report transfers of digital assets.
This could help more corporates hold BTC on their balance sheets more comfortably. $BTC
Part of the selloff is being attributed to institutions and listed crypto companies decreasing their exposure.
A major “Bitcoin whale” reportedly sold 80,000 BTC (~$9.5B) — these coins were bought many years ago when BTC was extremely cheap, leading to a massive return. $BTC
#CryptoMarket Growing Importance of Stablecoins: The huge stablecoin market cap and transaction volume suggest stablecoins are becoming a backbone for crypto liquidity and payments.
Institutional Adoption: The launch of these "40-Act" crypto index ETFs shows that institutional players want diversified exposure, not just single-coin bets.
Volatility Risk: The massive liquidations and extreme fear reading indicate that the market is under significant stress — short-term risk is high. $BNB
