‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Joins BTS In A Major Hot 100 Feat

The post ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Joins BTS In A Major Hot 100 Feat appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Huntr/x becomes just the third K-pop group in history to score multiple Hot 100 top 10s, joining BTS and Saja Boys, as “How It’s Done” climbs to No. 10. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 16: (L-R) Audrey Nuna, EJAE and Rei Ami attend the KPop Demon Hunters Special Screening at Netflix Tudum Theater on June 16, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Netflix) Getty Images for Netflix As of this week, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has collected four top 10 hits on the Hot 100. The album, which accompanies the Netflix animated film that has become the platform’s most-watched movie of all time, is one of only a handful of soundtracks to ever produce that many smashes – and the first to do so simultaneously. As another tune from the beloved film finds its way into the top 10 on Billboard’s most competitive songs tally in America, the fictional girl group behind many of the album’s hits makes history. Huntr/x Earns a Second Hot 100 Top 10 “How It’s Done” rises from No. 14 to No. 10 on the current Hot 100. The track, which is credited to Huntr/x as well as Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, reaches the uppermost region on the list for the first time. As it does, Huntr/x scores a second such smash in America, which is a nearly unheard-of feat for K-pop acts. Huntr/x Returns to No. 1 with “Golden” Huntr/x is now just the third K-pop group to rack up multiple top 10 hits on the Hot 100. In addition to sitting at No. 10 with “How It’s Done,” the girl group, which didn’t exist until KPop Demon Hunters premiered earlier this summer, returns to No. 1 on the chart this week with “Golden.” That global win…

Bitcoin undervalued, could hit $126K by year-end: JP Morgan

Bitcoin undervalued, could hit $126K by year-end: JP Morgan

The post Bitcoin undervalued, could hit $126K by year-end: JP Morgan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways The volatility of the BTC/Gold ratio has dropped to a record low of 2, an ‘undervalued’ level that could push BTC to $126K, per JP Morgan analysts. Bitcoin’s [BTC] price swings or volatility have cooled off significantly, from over 60% to record lows of 30% in 2025. In August, Bitcoin’s price dropped by 11%, falling from above $124,000. Despite this decline, it has yet to show strong support or a decisive rebound at the $110,000 level. According to JP Morgan analysts, led by the Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, this was ‘too low’ and deemed the current BTC price as ‘undervalued’ against gold.  Source: Deribit Bitcoin to swing back to $126K? According to the analysts, a strong accumulation of over 6% by corporate treasuries played a huge role in suppressing volatility.  Compared to gold, the volatility of the Bitcoin/Gold ratio has also dropped to a record low of 2. This meant that BTC consumed twice as much risk capital as gold in client portfolios, the analysts added.  Source: JP Morgan Analysts noted that Bitcoin’s lower volatility presented a strong buying opportunity. This was further supported by high inflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and crypto treasuries. Together, these factors signaled favorable market conditions for accumulating BTC. “Lower volatility makes it easier for institutions to allocate capital, with bitcoin and gold now closer than ever in risk-adjusted terms.” JP Morgan estimates that Bitcoin needs to rise by 13% to match gold’s $5 trillion private allocation. At press time, Bitcoin’s market cap stood at $2.2 trillion, a 13% increase would push BTC’s fair value to around $126,000. Analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou suggests this target could be reached by the end of the year. On-chain data shows that Bitcoin remains undervalued and is approaching a local bottom, provided current 2025 trends continue. The True…

21Shares Seeks Launch of SEI ETF With Potential Staking Yield for US Investors

21Shares Seeks Launch of SEI ETF With Potential Staking Yield for US Investors

The post 21Shares Seeks Launch of SEI ETF With Potential Staking Yield for US Investors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief 21Shares filed with the SEC for the first SEI ETF tracking the Sei blockchain token with potential staking rewards for additional yield. The application joins a set of altcoin ETF filings as fund managers target smaller digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Canary Capital filed a similar SEI ETF application in May. Asset management firm 21Shares has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch an exchange-traded fund tracking the Sei blockchain’s native token. The proposed 21Shares SEI ETF would offer investors exposure to SEI while providing the potential for additional yield through staking rewards, according to a registration statement filed Thursday.  Following successful launches of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024, fund managers are targeting smaller digital assets, including Solana, Dogecoin, XRP, and other altcoins under a crypto-friendly Trump administration. The Trust’s primary objective is “to seek to track the performance of SEI,” with a secondary focus on generating “rewards from staking a portion of the Trust’s SEI,” the filing reads. It’s “highly likely that 21Shares’ SEI ETF would be accepted and would be available along with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs,” Krishnendu Chatterjee, CEO and co-founder of A2ZCryptoInvestment, told Decrypt.  “21Shares SEI ETF is a step towards broader application towards regulated alt investment (including staking benefits),” he added. Still, 21Shares confirmed it has not yet concluded that staking can be offered under a public trust structure, according to the prospectus. The Trust will use Coinbase Custody Trust Company as its primary custodian for SEI holdings, while Coinbase Inc. will serve as the prime broker for trading activities, according to the filing. The move adds to Canary Capital’s filing of the first SEI ETF application in May, which also shares similar staking objectives. Multiple crypto ETF applications are now in play and face SEC decision deadlines…

SharpLink Co-CEO Joseph Chalom on Being Dubbed the ‘MicroStrategy of Ethereum’

SharpLink Co-CEO Joseph Chalom on Being Dubbed the ‘MicroStrategy of Ethereum’

Fresh from two decades at BlackRock, Joseph Chalom has stepped out of retirement to lead SharpLink Gaming Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company that has drawn comparisons to MicroStrategy for its aggressive Ethereum treasury strategy. In an exclusive interview with CryptoNews, Chalom outlines why he left traditional finance, what SharpLink is trying to achieve with ETH, and why he sees Ethereum as the foundation for the future of tokenization and decentralized finance. From BlackRock to SharpLink Chalom spent 20 years at BlackRock, where his career spanned both traditional finance and digital assets. He points to two accomplishments that defined his tenure: scaling Aladdin, BlackRock’s enterprise risk management system used by many of the world’s largest asset managers, and later leading the firm’s digital asset team. That latter role focused on bridging traditional investors with crypto markets, preparing institutions for the shift he believes is inevitable. After retiring from BlackRock in June 2025, Chalom was pulled back into the industry following a conversation with co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of Consensys, Joseph Lubin, who now serves as chairman of SharpLink’s board. “We both have a vision of a world where more efficient systems allow the exchange of value in a fundamentally different way than exists today,” Chalom said, pointing to Ethereum’s ability to settle transactions trustlessly and instantly. On Being Called the ‘MicroStrategy of Ethereum’ The comparison to Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, which famously accumulated billions of dollars in Bitcoin, has followed SharpLink since it began deploying its capital into ETH. Chalom acknowledges the parallel while stressing the differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum. “Michael Saylor has demonstrated that over a multi-year period, you can have a public company that buys a crypto asset and that company can trade at a premium in value,” he said. “We are trying to do a very similar thing with Ethereum, which is be a public treasury, raise capital from investors, buy Ethereum, and allow investors to participate in three things: capital appreciation, staking yield, and supporting the ecosystem,” Chalom said. Unlike Bitcoin, he added, Ethereum is a productive asset. Staking ETH can generate yield that is considered revenue, giving SharpLink an additional income stream. “We tip our hat to Michael Saylor in demonstrating that a crypto strategy in a treasury can work,” Chalom said. “We just think Ethereum is a more ideal treasury asset.” Ethereum, Tokenization, and the Long-Term Opportunity Chalom frames SharpLink’s mission around what he calls the “long-term Ethereum opportunity,” which he breaks down into three categories: stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and broader financial and non-financial applications. Stablecoins, the majority of which are issued on Ethereum or its Layer 2 networks, have grown into a $275 billion market. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has suggested that it could rise to several trillion in the coming years. Tokenization of traditional assets is the second leg of the thesis. From tokenized treasuries to equities and funds, Chalom sees programmable, instantly settling assets as a structural shift away from legacy systems that take days to settle. “When assets or securities or funds are held in tokenized format, they are programmable, tradable, sometimes 24/7, and most importantly, they settle instantly,” he said. Finally, as more real-world activity is represented in tokenized form on Ethereum, demand for ETH as the network’s native asset should rise. Chalom points to a framework: Historically, every $2 of high-quality assets secured on Ethereum translates into roughly a $1 increase in ETH’s market cap. “We’re accumulating as much ether as possible right now at the current prices, because we see significant appreciation in its value,” he said. Competition and Differentiation SharpLink is not alone in pursuing an Ethereum-focused treasury strategy. Rival BitMine has announced plans for a massive $24.5 billion raise to build its own ETH war chest, a sign of how corporate ether accumulation is accelerating. With ETH hovering near record highs, institutions are targeting a larger share of the supply. Chalom welcomes the competition. “If others have the same investment thesis, it means some of the best minds are validating this thesis, and we actually welcome that.” Still, he argues that SharpLink is uniquely positioned. The firm has built a team of institutional-grade investors and strategists and maintains a strategic partnership with ConsenSys, the Ethereum development company founded by Lubin. “That partnership gives us opportunities to participate in DeFi, capture the most expert staking yields, and potentially build Ethereum-denominated operating companies,” he said. “That is a true differentiator.” Regulation and Institutional Access Chalom is optimistic about the regulatory environment in the U.S., pointing to two developments: the GENIUS Act, which clarifies ownership and participation in crypto, and the pending CLARITY Act, which lays out market structure. Historically, institutions faced challenges around custody and mandates. But with ETFs now available and a public company wrapper via SharpLink’s Nasdaq listing, access is expanding. “Owning ETH through SharpLink is just like owning an equity,” Chalom said. “That is the first unlock. The second unlock is regulatory clarity. The headwinds have been released, and we’re at the point where there is a well-defined institutional path to owning Ethereum.” Looking Back: The First ETF Launch Chalom also reflects on his time at BlackRock during the approval of the first Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products in 2024, which he describes as “a seminal moment in the adoption of crypto by traditional institutions.” Those launches brought over $100 billion of traditional capital into Bitcoin and Ethereum, he notes, and set the stage for companies like SharpLink to strengthen the bridge between traditional markets and digital assets. “I still think it’s early in the investment opportunity in Ethereum,” Chalom adds, comparing the current moment to the early days of the internet. “The most transformation is ahead of us.” As SharpLink leans into its Ethereum-centric strategy, the comparisons to MicroStrategy may persist. But Chalom insists the company’s approach is more than a trade—it’s about building a long-term platform around a productive, revenue-generating, and programmable network asset. Whether SharpLink ultimately becomes known as the “MicroStrategy of Ethereum” or something else, the company’s moves will remain closely watched by both Wall Street and the crypto community. Price Action SharpLink Gaming Inc. (NASDAQ: SBET) has delivered a considerable rally in 2025, with shares up 128% year-to-date at $18.46 despite a volatile trading range. The stock surged to a 52-week high of $124.12 earlier this year on the back of its aggressive Ethereum treasury strategy, before retracing as markets absorbed the scale of its purchases. Still, with a market cap of $3.22 billion, SharpLink remains one of the most closely watched public companies, tying its fortunes directly to ETH
