ETF

A crypto ETF is a regulated investment fund that tracks the price of one or more digital assets and trades on traditional stock exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq.Following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the 2026 market now includes Solana ETFs and diversified Altcoin Baskets. 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.

Bloomberg Analyst Weighs In on XRP ETF Demand as SEC Delays Decision

Bloomberg Analyst Weighs In on XRP ETF Demand as SEC Delays Decision

The post Bloomberg Analyst Weighs In on XRP ETF Demand as SEC Delays Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The post Bloomberg Analyst Weighs In on XRP ETF Demand as SEC Delays Decision appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News XRP’s ETF journey is heating up with fresh debates, surprising demand numbers, and mounting regulatory delays. Bloomberg analysts say demand will be smaller compared to Bitcoin, yet new data shows rising interest in XRP products. At the same time, the U.S. SEC has delayed decisions on multiple XRP ETF filings, leaving investors waiting for clarity.  Now, the big question is, will 2025 finally be XRP’s ETF breakthrough year? Expert Clarifies Demand for XRP ETFs Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas recently clarified his comments on XRP ETFs. He stressed that analysts never claimed there was “no demand” for XRP. Instead, Balchunas pointed out that demand naturally falls the further you go from Bitcoin.  This means XRP ETFs will likely see lower demand compared to Bitcoin ETFs — but not zero. We never said no demand. We did however make up an easy to remember rhyme to describe how alt coin etfs will likely play out: “the further away you get from btc, the less assets there will be.” https://t.co/661keZboUt — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) August 27, 2025 While some doubt XRP’s ETF potential, recent numbers suggest otherwise. CME Group, a global trading giant, revealed that XRP futures crossed $1 billion in open interest (OI) in under four months, the fastest contract to hit that milestone. At the same time, futures-based XRP ETFs already crossed $800 million, signaling big institutional appetite. SEC Pushes Back Deadlines Despite this momentum, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again delayed its review of XRP ETF filings. Currently, the first major deadline is October 18, when the SEC must decide on Grayscale’s XRP ETF application.  More deadlines follow quickly after, ending by October 25.…

Analysts: Bitcoin faces the risk of further decline as leverage ratios soar and a large amount of funds turn to Ethereum

Analysts: Bitcoin faces the risk of further decline as leverage ratios soar and a large amount of funds turn to Ethereum

PANews reported on August 27th that, according to The Block, K33 analysis suggests that Bitcoin's recent price weakness is likely to continue. Surging leverage and a massive shift of funds toward Ethereum make the market vulnerable to further declines in the short term. Research Director Lunde stated that open interest in Bitcoin perpetual futures has surged to a two-year high (over 310,000 BTC), increasing by 41,000 BTC in just two months, with an accelerated increase of 13,000 BTC over the weekend, potentially marking a turning point for the market. Furthermore, the annualized funding rate has jumped from 3% to nearly 11%, suggesting overly aggressive long positions. The current market bears similarities to the leverage accumulation seen during the summer of 2023-2024, both of which culminated in a massive series of liquidations in August. However, the peak in open interest this time occurred in late this month, suggesting the market may be entering a more prolonged period of consolidation, which could catch bargain hunters off guard. Lunde warned of an increased risk of a short-term long squeeze and advised caution in holding positions. Furthermore, a long-term holder converted 22,400 BTC into Ethereum last week, pushing Ethereum to a new all-time high of $4,956 over the weekend, ending a 1,380-day correction. Despite Ethereum's sharp gains against the US dollar, its long-term returns against Bitcoin remain negative. Institutional investors saw CME traders reduce their Bitcoin positions, while the options market shifted to a defensive stance. Ethereum futures outperformed Bitcoin due to ETF inflows and increased corporate holdings.

XRP Futures Hit $1B on CME as SOL and XRP Lead ETF Demand

XRP Futures Hit $1B on CME as SOL and XRP Lead ETF Demand

The post XRP Futures Hit $1B on CME as SOL and XRP Lead ETF Demand appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP Futures Surpass $1B Open Interest on CME, Joining Elite Crypto Assets XRP has officially entered the ranks of top-tier digital assets on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), with futures open interest surpassing $1 billion in just three months since launch.  This milestone places XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in the so-called $1B club, underscoring its rapid rise in institutional demand and market relevance. Source: CME Group The CME, a leading global derivatives exchange, has long been a barometer for institutional appetite in cryptocurrency markets.  Historically, only Bitcoin and Ethereum held the spotlight, later joined by Solana following surging market interest. XRP’s inclusion in this group highlights a growing recognition of its utility and investment appeal, particularly after years of uncertainty stemming from regulatory scrutiny in the United States. Market analysts note that the speed at which XRP futures crossed the $1B open interest threshold is especially significant. While Bitcoin and Ethereum required years to build consistent institutional participation, XRP has managed to achieve the feat in a matter of months.  The CME Group acknowledged, “Our SOL and XRP futures, along with ETH options, each crossed $1B in OI, with XRP being the fastest-ever contract to do so, hitting the mark in just over 3 months.” Therefore, this suggests that the groundwork laid during the asset’s long-standing presence in global remittances and payments is translating into heightened investor confidence. Rising open interest signals stronger speculation, hedging, and liquidity, key drivers of market depth. For XRP, it highlights growing institutional confidence, not just in short-term price moves but in its long-term role in global finance.  With futures offering regulated exposure, XRP is becoming a gateway for traditional finance players who might otherwise avoid direct spot trading. Institutional Demand for XRP ETFs Stronger Than Market Anticipates According to Crypto Observer SMQKE,…

Solana DATs Could Move Price 10x Faster Than Ethereum, Expert Warns

Solana DATs Could Move Price 10x Faster Than Ethereum, Expert Warns

An X post by Bonk core contributor Nom (@TheOnlyNom) argues that a new wave of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) vehicles aimed at SOL could move price more than comparable Bitcoin or Ether treasuries—because of Solana’s smaller market cap, heavy staking that suppresses immediately available float, and the ability for treasuries to buy discounted or locked tokens before they ever touch the open market. Why Solana DATs Could Move Price 10x Faster Than ETH “SOL DATs will be more efficient at accumulating currently trading supply (which is different than circulating supply) compared to ETH or BTC DATs,” Nom wrote, adding that “the recent announcements of $2.5b in SOL DATs should be looked at like a $30b raise for ETH or $91b for BTC.” Nom opens with disclosures and caveats rather than price calls. “I’m not going to argue whether inflation is good or bad, I have already spent enough time talking on that and look forward to the changes,” he wrote. He also underscores his own positioning and bias: “I am a spot SOL, staked SOL, and locked SOL holder (thanks to an SPV on the estate SOL) … I would also like tokens I own to go up in value—so a flat token price is bad in my point of view.” Related Reading: REX Financial CEO Picks Solana Over Ethereum: Here’s Why On the overhang from the FTX bankruptcy estate, Nom contends that the risk is shrinking fast even if it still looms in the narrative. “At the time of bankruptcy, FTX’s estate held 41m SOL tokens … with the majority going to the folks at Galaxy and Pantera with strike prices of approximately $64 and $102 … this is currently massively in the money at Solana’s current ~$190 price tag,” he wrote. Based on his reading of staking accounts and vesting schedules, Nom estimates the “‘Estate SOL’ is currently at about 5 million units remaining to be unlocked, or about $1b notional.” He sets that against broader unlocks: “From the good folks over at 4shpool (gelato.sh) there’s about 21m [units] of Solana remaining to unlock until 2028, or ~$4b notional at current pricing … ‘Estate SOL’ is ~1/4 of all remaining SOL to be unlocked.” The thread’s central mechanism is flow versus float. Nom argues that issuance plus unlocks create persistent sell pressure unless matched by price-insensitive buyers. “This matters for one specific number that we need to focus on, which is the amount of SOL hitting the market on a daily basis,” he wrote. “If you give someone tokens for free (staking inflation/unlocks) or at a discount (FTX SOL) — you can expect some % of people to sell. I assume 100% of this inflation of 37.5m SOL in the next year to be sold.” That sets a high bar for demand: “In order to offset 37.5m SOL a year at $200 SOL … you need ~$7.5b/year in inflows, or ~$20.5m per day.” The Differences Between SOL And ETH Crucially, he argues, DATs can meet that bar more efficiently if they accumulate outside the open market. “If the DATs can more efficiently buy SOL at a discount from either the estate SOL, or other locked SOL areas, that improves the efficiency of the inflows,” he wrote. “Raising $400m to buy SOL at a 5% discount is equivalent to $420m in inflows, which is better than $400m in inflows—the only question is how do you equate the time value of buying SOL off the market today, vs removing future sales tomorrow.” He adds that, on his numbers, issuance dominates the supply picture: “Our inflation over the next 3 years is greater than the unlocks (EOY 2028 as end of lock schedules) … and the FTX SOL is only a quarter of the remaining unlocks—so the DATs buying the estate SOL rather than the market is not a realistic concern.” Related Reading: Solana Boost – Medical Firm’s $400M Stock Sale Powers New SOL Treasury Nom insists the difference between “trading supply” and headline “circulating supply” is what makes SOL especially sensitive to steady buyers. “Circulating supply is NOT equivalent to amount available on the market, especially for staked assets. You cannot buy staked SOL, but you can buy LSTs,” he wrote. Citing current snapshots, he notes, “Solana has 384m of its 608m SOL staked currently, or 63.1% off the market. LSTs account for 33.5m SOL, so let’s put that back as supply available to buy and round it to 350m/508m off the market, or 57.5% off the market and unavailable for purchase (at least with a 2 day lag).” By his math, that thinner immediate float means each new dollar has more price impact than on chains with lower staking penetration. Valuation magnifies the effect, he says. “Solana is at a much lower valuation than ETH or BTC … a dollar spent on a SOL DAT is like $5 on an ETH DAT or $22 on a BTC DAT when looking at relative valuations.” Adjusting for staked versus readily tradable supply, he pushes the comparison further: “When you factor in the circulating supply amounts with staking, that’s closer to 11x for ETH efficiency or 36x for BTC efficiency.” He also weaves in the role of ETFs and corporate vehicles alongside treasuries. “SSK is doing some of the work at roughly $2m/day in inflows since launch, however the inflation schedule needs 10x inflows — and this will likely come with further ETF approvals,” he wrote, arguing that DATs have a flywheel effect: “These DATs take supply off the market, they earn tokens based on staking yield … and they make subsequent buys by vehicles like ETFs more effective at moving the market.” On sector leadership, he’s blunt about the need for a standard-bearer: “SOL DATs need a Michael Saylor or a Tom Lee, narrative is the name of the game.” His summary distills the thesis to a few lines: “Right now less than 1% of supply is under SOL DAT management, this will likely shift to 3% with the 3 newly announced vehicles, and 5% with planned future vehicles.” “Current ETF inflows are not sufficient,” he added, “however larger vehicles should be approved by start of Q4 and SOL remains a contender for institutional bid.” Solana Treasury Boom In The Making Notably, Nom’s framing arrives amid a cascade of new vehicles. On Aug. 25–26, Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital and Jump Crypto are in talks to raise roughly $1 billion to build a publicly traded Solana treasury company, with Cantor Fitzgerald as lead banker. Separately, Pantera Capital is weighing a plan to raise up to $1.25 billion to convert a Nasdaq-listed firm into “Solana Co.,” a dedicated SOL treasury vehicle. Meanwhile, Nasdaq-listed Sharps Technology announced a $400 million private placement explicitly to establish what it calls the largest corporate Solana treasury to date. Together, these deals sketch out at least $2.5–$3.0 billion of potential new institutional demand pointed squarely at SOL. At press time, SOL traded at $204.

USD Forecast: Unlocking Positive Gains for EEMEA as Dollar Weakens

USD Forecast: Unlocking Positive Gains for EEMEA as Dollar Weakens

BitcoinWorld USD Forecast: Unlocking Positive Gains for EEMEA as Dollar Weakens In the dynamic world of global finance, shifts in major currency valuations can create significant ripples, impacting everything from international trade to investment portfolios and even the perceived value of alternative assets like cryptocurrencies. When institutional giants like Bank of America (BofA) revise their outlook, the market takes notice. Recently, BofA has updated its USD forecast, predicting a period of sustained weakness for the US Dollar. This anticipated decline is not just a statistical adjustment; it’s a powerful signal, suggesting a potential boon for the economies of Emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA) and broader emerging markets. For those invested in digital assets, understanding these macro shifts is crucial, as a weaker dollar often encourages a search for value in non-traditional assets. What’s Driving the Revised USD Forecast? The US Dollar’s strength has been a defining feature of global finance for several years, often serving as a safe haven during periods of uncertainty. However, the economic landscape is evolving, and BofA‘s latest analysis points to several key factors contributing to their revised USD forecast: Changing Interest Rate Differentials: The US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, particularly its stance on interest rates, plays a significant role. As other central banks globally begin to normalize their own policies or even consider rate hikes, the interest rate advantage previously held by the US Dollar may diminish. This reduces the incentive for capital to flow into dollar-denominated assets. Global Economic Recovery: As the world economy recovers from recent challenges, investor confidence tends to improve. This often leads to a rotation of capital from safe-haven assets like the USD into riskier, higher-yielding assets found in developing economies. Inflationary Pressures: While inflation is a global phenomenon, persistent inflation in the US could erode the purchasing power of the dollar, contributing to its depreciation over time. The market’s perception of the Fed’s ability to manage inflation without stifling growth is critical. Current Account Dynamics: A nation’s current account balance reflects its trade in goods, services, and investments. Shifts in the US current account, potentially driven by increased imports or reduced exports, can also put downward pressure on the dollar. These interconnected factors suggest a complex environment where the dollar’s traditional dominance faces new challenges, setting the stage for significant shifts in global capital flows. How Does Dollar Weakness Empower EEMEA? A weaker US Dollar can act as a powerful catalyst for growth and stability in EEMEA economies. The mechanisms through which this benefit materializes are multifaceted: Reduced Debt Burden: Many emerging economies, including those in EEMEA, have significant portions of their sovereign and corporate debt denominated in US Dollars. When the dollar weakens, the cost of servicing and repaying this debt in local currency terms decreases. This frees up government and corporate resources, which can then be allocated to domestic investment, infrastructure projects, or social programs, stimulating economic activity. Enhanced Export Competitiveness: A weaker dollar makes goods and services produced in EEMEA countries more affordable for international buyers holding stronger currencies. This boosts export volumes, strengthens trade balances, and encourages local production, leading to job creation and economic expansion. For commodity-exporting nations within EEMEA, a weaker dollar can also lead to higher commodity prices, further improving terms of trade. Increased Capital Inflows: As the dollar loses its appeal, investors often seek higher returns in faster-growing economies. This can lead to increased foreign direct investment (FDI) and portfolio investment into EEMEA. These capital inflows can provide much-needed liquidity, fund new ventures, and support local stock and bond markets, creating a virtuous cycle of growth. Improved Terms of Trade: For countries that import goods priced in dollars, a weaker dollar means these imports become cheaper in local currency, improving their terms of trade. This can help manage inflation and support consumer purchasing power. The cumulative effect of these factors can significantly improve the economic outlook for countries in the EEMEA region, making them more attractive destinations for global capital. Navigating the EEMEA Landscape: Opportunities and Considerations The EEMEA region is vast and diverse, encompassing a wide array of economies with varying strengths and vulnerabilities. While the general trend of dollar weakness offers broad benefits, specific opportunities and challenges exist within this heterogeneous group: Region/Country Type Potential Opportunities Key Considerations/Challenges Emerging Europe (e.g., Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic) Strong trade links with Western Europe, manufacturing hubs, growing tech sectors. Benefits from cheaper debt and export boost. Geopolitical risks, energy dependence, potential for EU policy shifts. Middle East (e.g., Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar) Oil & gas exports benefit from higher commodity prices (often dollar-denominated), diversification efforts, large sovereign wealth funds. Oil price volatility, regional geopolitical tensions, reform implementation speed. Africa (e.g., South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt) Rich in natural resources, young and growing populations, increasing urbanization, improving infrastructure. Political instability, governance issues, commodity price dependence, infrastructure gaps. Commodity Exporters (e.g., South Africa, Russia – historically) Higher revenues from dollar-denominated commodity sales when the dollar is weak. Price volatility, reliance on single commodities, environmental concerns. Investors looking at emerging markets within EEMEA must conduct thorough due diligence, understanding the specific economic and political dynamics of each country. Diversification across different sub-regions and sectors is often a prudent strategy. Actionable Insights for Investing in Emerging Markets Given the anticipated dollar weakness and the positive outlook for EEMEA, investors might consider re-evaluating their portfolios. Here are some actionable insights for those looking to capitalize on these trends in emerging markets: Local Currency Bonds: As the dollar weakens, local currencies in EEMEA may strengthen against it. Investing in local currency sovereign or corporate bonds can offer attractive yields and potential currency appreciation gains. Equities in Export-Oriented Sectors: Companies in EEMEA that are heavily involved in exporting goods and services will likely see increased demand and profitability. Look for sectors like manufacturing, technology, and specialized services. Commodity-Linked Investments: Many EEMEA countries are major commodity producers. A weaker dollar often correlates with higher commodity prices, benefiting these economies. Consider ETFs or direct investments in companies involved in mining, energy, or agriculture within the region. Diversification is Key: The EEMEA region is diverse. Spreading investments across different countries and industries can mitigate risks associated with single-country political or economic events. Consider Passive and Active Strategies: Investors can gain exposure through passive ETFs that track emerging markets indices, or through actively managed funds that leverage expert knowledge of specific regional opportunities. It is important to remember that while the tailwinds from a weaker dollar are significant, emerging markets always carry inherent risks, including political instability, currency volatility, and liquidity concerns. A balanced approach, aligned with individual risk tolerance, is always advisable. Beyond the Horizon: What Does BofA‘s Outlook Mean for Global Finance? The BofA USD forecast is more than just a currency prediction; it reflects a broader shift in global economic power dynamics. A sustained period of dollar weakness could reshape trade relationships, alter global investment patterns, and potentially influence the international monetary system. For cryptocurrencies, this macro environment could be supportive, as a declining dollar often pushes investors to seek alternative stores of value, including digital assets. Historically, periods of dollar depreciation have sometimes coincided with increased interest in gold and, more recently, in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as hedges against traditional currency devaluation. The bank’s perspective suggests that the current environment favors a reallocation of capital towards growth-oriented regions. This outlook emphasizes the importance of global diversification and staying informed about macro-economic trends that can significantly impact investment performance across all asset classes, from traditional stocks and bonds to the burgeoning crypto market. A Compelling Future for EEMEA Bank of America’s revised USD forecast paints a compelling picture for the EEMEA region. The anticipated period of dollar weakness is poised to alleviate debt burdens, boost export competitiveness, and attract crucial capital inflows, fostering economic growth across these dynamic emerging markets. While challenges remain, the macro environment appears increasingly favorable for countries within Emerging Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Investors who understand these shifts and position themselves strategically could unlock significant opportunities in the coming period. This fundamental change in currency dynamics underscores the interconnectedness of global finance and the need for a comprehensive investment perspective that looks beyond traditional boundaries.

Notably, XRP products lead the pack, attracting the most ETF-related applications. This suggests that beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, which already dominate the ETF landscape, investors and financial institutions are preparing for broader diversification into alternative digital assets with strong liquidity profiles and established use cases.ETFs are widely regarded as a gateway for institutional and traditional investors to gain exposure to digital assets without direct custody risks. By bridging traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem, these products often boost liquidity, enhance regulatory legitimacy, and draw long-term capital into the market. Therefore, the heavy tilt toward XRP applications indicates that fund issuers anticipate robust demand once regulatory approvals materialize.SMQKE also emphasizes that this trend is not merely speculative but rooted in XRP’s unique positioning within the financial sector.Unlike many cryptocurrencies, XRP has built-in utility for cross-border payments and settlement solutions, making it an attractive candidate for institutions seeking both exposure and practical relevance. With regulatory clarity around XRP improving in several jurisdictions, the pathway for ETFs tied to the token appears increasingly viable.ConclusionThe growing wave of ETF applications signals that XRP is no longer just a speculative asset but a contender for institutional portfolios. With Kaiko’s data pointing to unmatched demand and liquidity, and with observers like SMQKE underscoring the market’s blind spot, the stage is set for XRP to capture unprecedented institutional inflows once approvals come through. Furthermore, industry observers believe that XRP’s entry into the $1B club strengthens its position as more than just a speculative digital asset. It now stands as one of the few cryptocurrencies with proven demand in both retail and institutional markets.

Met een marktwaarde van ongeveer 178 miljard dollar is het de derde grootste munt ter wereld. Dat is groter dan de beurswaarde van vermogensbeheerder BlackRock, die rond de 176 miljard dollar ligt. Toch blijft de munt volgens kenners zeer omstreden. Advocaat John E.

Analisten wijzen erop dat de oorspronkelijke rol van XRP als brugvaluta inmiddels grotendeels is ingehaald door stablecoins en netwerken die slimme contracten of orakels aanbieden. Bij brugtokens ontstaat geen blijvende vraagdruk, omdat elke aankoop voor een transactie direct gevolgd wordt door een verkoop. Daarnaast kampt het XRP netwerk met het imago dat de functionaliteit beperkter is dan bij concurrerende blockchains als Ethereum of Solana. Dat zorgt ervoor dat veel institutionele beleggers afwachtend blijven, ook nu de derivatenhandel records breekt. Beweging in de koers De prijs van XRP reageerde positief op het nieuws. Op woensdag noteerde de munt rond de 3 dollar, een stijging van meer dan 3 procent in 24 uur. Voor veel beleggers is de futures mijlpaal een teken dat er opnieuw kapitaal richting XRP stroomt, zowel voor speculatie als voor het afdekken van posities. De goedkeuring van een spot ETF zou de ultieme test vormen. Het zou moeten uitwijzen of de loyaliteit van de retail belegger en de opmars in de futures markt voldoende zijn om institutionele partijen definitief aan boord te krijgen.
