U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on bitcoin and ether recorded their strongest weekly inflows in three months, signaling renewed confidence from institutional investors and strengthening bullish sentiment across the crypto market. Data from TradingView shows that the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs attracted a combined net inflow of $1.42 billion last week, the highest level since mid-October. BlackRocks spot bitcoin ETF, IBIT, dominated activity, accounting for $1.03 billion of the total inflows. The positive trend extended beyond bitcoin. Spot ether ETFs also experienced a surge in...

Major cryptocurrencies fell sharply on Monday as renewed concerns over potential U.S. tariffs weighed on global financial markets, prompting investors to pull back from riskier assets. The crypto market sell-off mirrored declines across equities and highlighted how closely digital assets are trading in step with broader macroeconomic sentiment. Solana (SOL) led losses among large-cap tokens, sliding more than 6% in the past 24 hours. Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped over 7%, while XRP fell roughly 4%, according to CoinGecko data. Ether (ETH) also declined around 3%, hovering near the $3,200 mark....

Dogecoin (DOGE) declined sharply as traders continued rotating out of higher-beta assets, leaving memecoins under pressure and underperforming the broader cryptocurrency market. The move did not stem from a single breaking headline but rather from shifting market positioning and lingering concerns around a large DOGE transfer linked to an exchange wallet, which resurfaced as price action weakened. Earlier this month, Dogecoin attempted to reclaim the $0.15 level but was firmly rejected, a move that quickly eroded bullish confidence. As DOGE slipped back toward the $0.13 region, selling...

XRP is currently displaying one of the most troubling market conditions traders can face: a stagnant price combined with sharply declining trading volume. While the asset is technically holding above recent local lows, overall market participation has nearly vanished. During key trading sessions, volume has dropped to almost negligible levels, a signal that is often far more important than short-term price fluctuations when evaluating trend sustainability. From a technical perspective, XRP remains trapped below all major moving averages that typically define trend direction. The price...

Bitcoin started the Asian trading week under pressure, falling roughly 3% to trade near $92,500 as momentum from a derivatives-driven rally weakened. The pullback highlights the fragile state of the crypto market, even as some indicators suggest that the heavy sell pressure seen in late 2025 is gradually easing. The worlds largest cryptocurrency retreated from a recent attempt to break into the mid-$90,000 range. Data from CoinGlass showed that more than $680 million worth of crypto positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, with nearly $600 million coming from long positions. This wave...

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has emphasized that the long-term survival of the Ethereum network depends on significantly simplifying its protocol, warning that excessive complexity could undermine decentralization and security. In a January 18 post on X, Buterin argued that Ethereum is becoming too dense for independent verification, which threatens the networks core principle of sovereignty as a decentralized public good. According to Buterin, the growing reliance on highly specialized, PhD-level cryptography and increasingly bloated protocol code risks pushing Ethereum toward a...

Only days after BitMines (BMNR) annual shareholder meeting in Las Vegas, controversy has surfaced, highlighting growing tension between company leadership and investors. The dispute centers on corporate governance, transparency, and BitMines ambitious transformation from a pure Ethereum staking company into a digital Berkshire Hathawaystyle capital allocator. Shareholders voiced strong dissatisfaction with how the AGM was conducted. Investors criticized the absence of key executives, including the newly appointed CEO and CFO, as well as the failure of advertised high-profile guest speakers to...

The search for the next Federal Reserve chair is increasingly turning toward Wall Street, as President Donald Trump signals that his senior economic advisor may remain in the White House rather than move to the central bank. This development reshapes expectations around who will succeed current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term is set to end on May 15, and highlights growing political and market considerations surrounding the appointment. Kevin Hassett, Director of the National Economic Council and a key economic advisor to President Trump, had long been viewed as a leading candidate for...

Michael Saylor has once again hinted at another major Bitcoin purchase by Strategy, drawing renewed attention from both crypto and equity investors. The signal came through a cryptic Bigger Orange post on X, a phrase Saylor has historically used ahead of confirmed Bitcoin acquisitions. This time, the implication is significant, as Strategys Bitcoin holdings have now surpassed 3% of the total 21 million BTC supply. According to the chart shared by Saylor, Strategy currently holds approximately 687,410 Bitcoin, accumulated through more than 94 purchases over the past four years. The companys...

For much of 2025, the cryptocurrency market moved on the assumption that U.S. President Donald Trump would become a decisive pro-crypto force. Bitcoin and altcoins rallied ahead of concrete policy action, with investors pricing in political support that ultimately failed to materialize. As Trumps reinauguration passed and regulatory clarity remained elusive, crypto markets began to decouple from political narratives, signaling a deeper shift underway. According to Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, the fading Trump trade marked a critical turning point for the...
