ETF

ETFs serve as the primary vehicle for institutional capital and retirement funds (401k/IRA) to enter the Web3 space. This tag tracks regulatory approvals, AUM (Assets Under Management) inflows, and the impact of Wall Street on crypto liquidity.

Meme War Escalates Into Full-Blown Culture Clash

Meme War Escalates Into Full-Blown Culture Clash

The post Meme War Escalates Into Full-Blown Culture Clash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins The last weekend of August on Crypto X wasn’t about charts or ETFs – it was about a roast. Litecoin’s official account fired off a satirical thread targeting XRP, and what began as a joke quickly spiraled into one of the ugliest (and funniest) online spats the industry has seen all summer. Instead of talking block sizes or transaction speeds, Litecoin’s post leaned into absurd humor. It compared the smell of comets to the idea that XRP tokens could somehow be more valuable than the money they move. The roast then veered into mockery of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, rebranded in the meme as “Brad Garlicmouse.” Within hours, the post had spread like wildfire, pulling XRP diehards into the fray. A Community on the Defensive XRP holders didn’t take kindly to the roast. Screenshots of Charlie Lee’s 2017 liquidation of his entire LTC stash resurfaced, with critics questioning why the founder dumped if the project had real future value. Others mocked Litecoin as irrelevant, accusing its social media manager of desperation rather than clever trolling. Some even claimed they were selling off their LTC in protest, while others proudly announced a switch to XRP. Litecoin Doesn’t Back Down If XRP fans expected an apology, they didn’t get one. The Litecoin account leaned into the chaos, pointing out that it had roasted Solana and itself in the past with little drama. Only XRP, it said, responded with “two days of legal threats and market-cap rants.” Eventually, the account softened the tone slightly with a joke about eating hot pockets and possibly being fired — but the trolling continued. Philosophy at the Core Beyond the memes, the feud spotlighted a genuine divide. XRP is built around institutional adoption and partnerships with banks, aiming to modernize cross-border settlement. Litecoin, meanwhile, has always…

South Korean Investors Dump $657M in Tesla Stock, Chase Crypto Returns Instead

South Korean Investors Dump $657M in Tesla Stock, Chase Crypto Returns Instead

South Korean retail investors sold a net $657 million in Tesla stock during August, marking the largest outflow since early 2023 as traders pivot toward crypto investments amid growing disillusionment with the electric vehicle maker. According to a Bloomberg report, the dump resulted from waning enthusiasm among Tesla’s most loyal global retail base, with investors instead favoring volatile crypto proxies, such as Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which attracted $253 million in net inflows. Individual Korean investors reduced their U.S. big tech share purchases from a monthly average of $1.68 billion between January and April to just $260 million in July, according to the Korean Center for International Finance. Crypto-related stock investments surged from 8.5% in January to 36.5% in June before declining to 31.4% in July as domestic markets outperformed overseas alternatives. The shift coincides with South Korea’s aggressive push toward developing the crypto market, with President Lee Jae-myung designating digital asset ecosystem construction as a “key national task” within the five-year state administration plan. As of August, over 10,000 Korean crypto investors now hold assets exceeding 1 billion won ($750,000), with the nation’s 10.86 million active trading accounts representing roughly 20% of the population. Tesla Loses Its Korean Retail Champion Status to Crypto Fever Tesla remains the top foreign stock among Korean retail traders with $21.9 billion in holdings, but investor sentiment has soured considerably. Han Jungsu, a 33-year-old investor who first bought Tesla in 2019, sold his position earlier this year, stating, “Tesla used to offer a lot of inspiring narratives but it has failed to win people’s hearts.”Source: Bloomberg The leveraged TSLL ETF, which offers double Tesla exposure, recorded its biggest monthly outflow since early 2024, with $554 million withdrawn in August. Korean investors criticized Tesla’s failure to establish a compelling narrative in artificial intelligence compared to emerging crypto opportunities. Young Korean investors in their 20s lead crypto adoption, with an average holding of 2.69 billion won, despite representing the smallest demographic group among high-net-worth crypto holders. This generation is increasingly favoring digital assets over traditional U.S. tech stocks, allocating an average of 14% of their financial assets to cryptocurrencies. The demographic breakdown among Korea’s crypto millionaires reveals 3,994 investors in their 50s and 3,086 in their 40s, but the 137 twentysomething investors maintain the highest average balances.Source: YNA Early adopters typically began with Bitcoin before diversifying into altcoins and stablecoins, with 60% of them starting their investments during the 2020 bull run. Additionally, retail investment behavior shifted dramatically as Korean investors expressed concerns about the impact of U.S. tariffs and the strengthening of the local currency. A similar survey data indicate that 27% of Koreans currently hold cryptocurrencies, with an average holding of 13 million won ($9,547) per investor. Over half of South Koreans aged 20-59 have experience with crypto trading, establishing the nation as a global crypto powerhouse. Government-Led Crypto Infrastructure Revolution Accelerates President Lee Jae-myung’s administration has fast-tracked pro-business crypto reforms, reclassifying crypto trading firms as “venture companies” to grant them access to tax incentives, subsidies, and state-backed financing that was previously denied since 2018. The Ministry of SMEs and Startups proposed amendments to include Virtual Asset Service Providers under the status of a venture company. Similarly, financial regulators have lifted restrictions on institutional crypto investments while preparing approval for Korea’s first spot crypto ETFs. The Financial Services Commission presented implementation measures for spot crypto ETFs and regulatory frameworks for won-based stablecoins, scheduled for implementation in late 2025. Major banks established dedicated crypto teams, anticipating legislative approval. Woori Bank launched a nine-member Digital Asset Team, while Kookmin Bank created a Digital Asset Response Council covering KB Financial Group affiliates. Shinhan Bank formed a 20-employee crypto task force as institutions prepare rapid market entry strategies. Regional institutions, including Busan Bank, have also established blockchain teams that cover all aspects of distributed ledger technology. As adoption of crypto grows, the Financial Intelligence Unit has begun reorganizing anti-money laundering protocols to institutionalize the use of stablecoins, conducting external research to compile guidelines for operators and issuers in December

Is XRP ETF Possible? Top Expert Shuts Down Speculations

Is XRP ETF Possible? Top Expert Shuts Down Speculations

The post Is XRP ETF Possible? Top Expert Shuts Down Speculations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The endless back-and-forth on whether an XRP ETF would ever matter seems to have finally met a full stop. Nate Geraci, who has built a reputation as one of the most expert ETF watchers, went straight to the point this week: Demand for a spot XRP fund is being badly misread. To him, it feels the same way people shrugged off Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs at first, only to watch billions pour in once the doors opened. You Might Also Like Geraci’s latest comment lands right at the time as the SEC’s table is overflowing: 92 crypto ETF filings are waiting. Out of those, the familiar Bitcoin and Ethereum get a few more products, but the real action has shifted. Solana has eight filings on record, XRP sits at seven, and the queue keeps growing. You heard it here first… People are severely underestimating investor demand for spot xrp & sol ETFs. Just like they did w/ spot btc & eth ETFs. — Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) September 1, 2025 These all are not just random startups either. Names like WisdomTree, whose XRP ETF decision was pushed back on Aug. 25, and several heavyweight managers are filing amendments with October deadlines. A calendar for fall on the crypto market now feels like a set of alarms. Was XRP ‘next Bitcoin’ whole time? At the same time, a few signals have already been dropped on the institutional side. Thus, Canary Capital called XRP the only asset, besides Bitcoin, that actually resonates with Wall Street pros. Amplify is testing a different spin altogether, pitching an ETF that generates income from XRP options. Hard to argue, fund managers wouldn’t be filing without at least some expectation of approval. You Might Also Like And Geraci isn’t guessing from the sidelines. He was early on Bitcoin ETFs, and he was…

Analysis: Bitcoin's average decline in September was about 6%. ETF fund outflows or stock market sell-offs may cause BTC to near $100,000

Analysis: Bitcoin's average decline in September was about 6%. ETF fund outflows or stock market sell-offs may cause BTC to near $100,000

PANews reported on September 1st that, according to CoinDesk data, September is historically one of Bitcoin's weakest months. Market data from the past 12 years shows that Bitcoin's average September decline is approximately 6%, with a median decline of approximately 5%. Furthermore, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin premium is declining, reflecting market concerns about cryptocurrency-driven corporate financial strategies. Nick Ruck of LVRG Research stated that this trend could exacerbate Bitcoin's seasonal weakness in September and also suggests that the crypto market is maturing and investors are beginning to reassess long-term value drivers. While expectations of a potential Federal Reserve rate cut are expected to ease seasonal pressure, ETF outflows or a stock market sell-off could further depress Bitcoin's price to near the $100,000 support level. Data shows that Bitcoin has closed lower in September eight times since 2013, including sharp declines of 13% in 2019 and 19% in 2014, making sustained gains difficult even during bull cycles. This seasonal pattern has led traders to view September as a fixed trading cycle.
