Volatility returned to crypto into the close, with macro jitters pulling prices lower even as institutional adoption headlines kept the drumbeat going. The total market cap slipped nearly 1 percent to about 4.12 trillion dollars after tariff rhetoric stoked risk-off nerves, sending Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) on another intraday roller coaster. Bitcoin hovered in a wide band between roughly 121,000 and just below its all-time high near 126,000 as traders debated whether a supercycle narrative can withstand tighter financial conditions. ETF demand still looks sturdy, with fresh inflows around 198 million dollars helping offset the wobble. Longer term, Deutsche Bank thinks central banks could be adding Bitcoin to reserves by 2030 alongside gold, a sign of how far the asset has come from the fringes even as short-term liquidity remains sensitive to a rising dollar and geopolitics. Ethereum’s week of two tales continued. Price wise, ETH cooled to about 4,352 after a run toward 4,750...

Markets headed into the evening on a cautious note as traders braced for the FOMC minutes and remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) drifted lower, but under the hood the institutional bid did not blink. US spot bitcoin ETFs just logged one of their biggest intake days on record with 1.18 billion dollars flowing in, and Luxembourg’s sovereign wealth fund became the first in the Eurozone to allocate to bitcoin ETFs, putting roughly 1 percent of its portfolio to work. A fresh State Street survey added fuel to the long term adoption story, with institutions expecting to lift digital asset exposure from about 7 percent today to 16 percent by 2028. On the flip side of the cycle debate, Arthur Hayes argued that bitcoin’s old four year rhythm is fading as macro policy takes the wheel, a timely reminder that this market now trades as much on Powell as on protocol. Product development and staking headlines clustered around Solana and Polygon. Bitwise filed to launc...

Markets cooled into the evening as a broad sell-off pulled majors lower, with Bitcoin (BTC) slipping under 122,000 and Ethereum (ETH) extending declines. US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw notable outflows, a stark contrast to last week’s euphoria after BTC tapped a fresh all-time high above 126,000 in October. Even so, the bull case is far from broken: several strategists remain upbeat on BTC’s higher-timeframe setup, and macro voices like Robert Kiyosaki urged diversification into Bitcoin and Ethereum alongside gold and silver as a hedge against dollar risks. Under the surface, institutions kept building. Treasury firms and ETFs now hold 12.48 million ETH, or about 10.31 percent of supply, with October spot ETH ETF inflows tallying 621 million. Mining and infra player Bit Digital added 31,057 ETH and now holds roughly 673 million dollars worth, staking 81 percent for yield, underscoring how institutional treasuries are leaning into on-chain income strategies. The Ethereum Foundation also unve...

As the sun sets on a record-setting session, crypto’s risk-on mood is carrying into the evening. Bitcoin (BTC) surged to fresh highs above 126,000 as US spot ETFs posted record inflows, with institutional demand overpowering broader macro jitters. Total market cap climbed to roughly 4.29 trillion, up about 2.23 percent, and the green spilled over to majors and select altcoins. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has now become the firm’s most profitable ETF, with IBIT’s growth underscoring a broader shift of traditional capital into digital assets. Washington may even join the party, with Senator Cynthia Lummis signaling the US government is preparing to fund a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, pending legislative progress. And in a nod to real-world utility, Opendoor floated plans to accept Bitcoin for home purchases. Ethereum (ETH) kept pace with a breakout of its own. After snapping a multi-year consolidation, ETH marched toward 4,716 and fueled a wave of liquidations along the way. Bulls a...

Crypto is heading into the night with a mix of big-money inflows, cautious nods from Wall Street, and fresh product launches that keep nudging digital assets deeper into the mainstream. Global crypto investment products pulled in nearly 6 billion dollars last week, pushing assets under management to a record 245 billion dollars as investors belatedly reacted to a recent US rate cut. Bitcoin and Solana drew standout interest, reinforcing that risk appetite is back even as volatility lingers. The establishment is not sitting it out. Morgan Stanley’s Global Investment Committee floated a modest 2 to 4 percent crypto allocation across portfolios, a strikingly pragmatic stance from a bulge bracket name. Grayscale added fuel with the first US listed spot crypto ETFs that enable staking for Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), letting investors earn rewards through standard brokerage accounts. That combination of careful sizing and familiar rails is exactly how crypto seeps further into traditio...
