What to know:
- Bitcoin rebounded above $70,000 after a brief weekend sell-off to around $65,000, showing resilience as energy-market volatility eased.
- U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs have continued to attract institutional demand, with about $568 million in net inflows last week and cumulative net inflows now above $55 billion.
- On-chain, derivatives and prediction-market data indicate that conditions are stabilizing and trader sentiment is turning more bullish, even as overall conviction remains muted.
Bitcoin pushed back above $70,000 Tuesday morning East Asia time, completing a rapid recovery from a weekend selloff that briefly dragged the largest digital asset down to around $65,000.
The move higher came as volatility in energy markets eased after crude oil surged amid fears of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin dipped alongside risk assets during the initial shock but quickly stabilized in the mid $60,000 range — given Wall Street's insulation from the energy crisis — before climbing again as markets digested the geopolitical headlines.
(CoinDesk)Market maker Enflux said the cryptocurrency showed notable resilience despite the scale of the energy shock.
“Bitcoin dipped below 66k during the initial risk-off wave yet quickly stabilized back in the 66k to 68k range,” the firm said in a note to CoinDesk. “In relative terms, it held up better than equities and even some traditional hedges.”
Institutional demand has also remained supportive.
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs drew about $568 million in net inflows last week, following $787 million the week prior, according to data from SoSoValue, pushing cumulative net inflows across the products above $55 billion.
Early data from SoSoValue shows that Monday’s U.S. inflows were about $57 million, though not all issuers had reported at the time of publication.
Onchain and derivatives indicators suggest the market is stabilizing after the recent volatility, though conviction has yet to fully return.
“Overall, conditions are stabilizing, with momentum, ETF demand, and profitability metrics improving modestly,” analysts at Glassnode wrote in a recent report. “However, capital flows remain soft, speculative participation is limited, and broader conviction has yet to fully return.”
Prediction markets also flipped more bullish as bitcoin rebounded.
On Polymarket, the odds that BTC will reach $75,000 in March jumped to about 56% on Monday from roughly 34% a day earlier, highlighting how quickly trader expectations shifted as the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $70,000 level.

Curve Finance Pitches Yield Basis, a $60M Plan to Turn CRV Tokens Into Income Assets
The post Curve Finance Pitches Yield Basis, a $60M Plan to Turn CRV Tokens Into Income Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov unveiled a proposal on the Curve DAO governance forum that would give the decentralized exchange’s token holders a more direct way to earn income. The protocol, called Yield Basis, aims to distribute sustainable returns to CRV holders who stake tokens to participate in governance votes, receiving veCRV tokens in exchange. The plan moves beyond the occasional airdrops that have defined the platform’s token economy to date. Under the proposal, $60 million of Curve’s crvUSD stablecoin will be minted before Yield Basis starts up. Funds from selling the tokens will support three bitcoin-focused pools; WBTC, cbBTC and tBTC, each capped at $10 million. Yield Basis will return between 35% and 65% of its value to veCRV holders, while reserving 25% of Yield Basis tokens for the Curve ecosystem. Voting on the proposal runs from Sept. 17 to Sept. 24. The protocol is designed to attract institutional and professional traders by offering transparent, sustainable bitcoin yields while avoiding the impermanent loss issues common in automated market makers. Diagram showing how compounding leverage can remove risk of impermanent loss (CRV) Impermanent loss occurs when the value of assets locked in a liquidity pool changes compared with holding the assets directly, leaving liquidity providers with fewer gains (or greater losses) once they withdraw. The new protocol comes against a backdrop of financial turbulence for Egorov himself. The Curve founder has suffered several high-profile liquidations in 2024 tied to leveraged CRV purchases. In June, more than $140 million worth of CRV positions were liquidated after Egorov borrowed heavily against the token to support its price. That episode left Curve with $10 million in bad debt. Most recently, in December, Egorov was liquidated for 918,830 CRV (about $882,000) after the token dropped 12% in a single day. He later said on…
