As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim a crucial level as support, spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on the flagship cryptocurrency have registered their best performance since the October market crash. Related Reading: Eric Trump Calls Justin Sun’s Lawsuit ‘Ridiculous’ As WLFI Hits New All-Time Low Bitcoin ETFs ‘Back In The High Life’ US spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their positive streak to eight days after pulling in $223.2 million on Thursday, signaling strong demand for the investment products as the crypto market recovers. The BTC-based funds have been consistently seeing positive net flows since April 14, recording $2.09 billion in inflows during this period, according to SoSoValue data. This marks the category’s strongest performance across multiple timeframes since its late September-early October nine-day streak, when the products saw roughly $5.33 billion in inflows. In the weekly and monthly timeframes, Bitcoin ETFs are currently recording their best performance of 2026, tying March’s four-week streak but nearly doubling the monthly inflows, with $2.43 billion in April so far and four more days to go. Market observer Sjuul from AltCryptoGems asserted that sustained institutional demand is building again, highlighting that the products are about to close their second green month of 2026, and the first two-month streak since October 2025. Similarly, Bloomberg Senior ETF analyst Erich Balchunas affirmed that Bitcoin ETF flows are “back in the high life” as every single tracking period turns positive and cumulative net inflows hit $58.33 billion. “Every single rolling period we track is now positive, haven’t seen that in months (IBIT’s $3b is in Top 1% of all ETFs). Still tho, need a couple bil more to get back to breaking new ground in cumulative lifetime flows (62.8b),” he wrote on X. All Eyes On BTC’s Weekly Close Bitcoin ETFs’ performance comes as the flagship cryptocurrency continues to reject from a key resistance area. In a recent analysis, Rekt Capital said that while BTC’s price enjoys upside momentum, the key levels haven’t changed yet. Notably, BTC’s 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA), located around $78,000, remains an important resistance level as the cryptocurrency has been unable to reclaim it on the weekly timeframe. “If BTC Weekly Closes above the 21-week EMA, then it would be worth watching for whether the EMA can be reclaimed as support,” the analyst affirmed, adding that level tends to serve as resistance in bear markets. On the contrary, if BTC is unable to reclaim this level as support, it could push BTC’s price into a post-breakout retest of its Double Bottom pattern. Last week, Rekt Capital highlighted that Bitcoin had broken out of a Double Bottom formation, which could lead to a measured move toward the $81,000-$82,500 area. Related Reading: Ethereum Faces ‘Moment Of Truth’ As Price Eyes $2,450 Resistance – Breakout Loading? Now, he has asserted that the “Double Bottom formation top could always become a post-breakout retesting zone in the event of rejection from the EMA.” In addition, he emphasized that BTC remains below the base of the macro triangle formation it broke down from in late January. Historically, Bitcoin has not been able to reclaim a macro triangle during a bear market once the price breaks down. If this trend continues, the analyst warned, then the flagship crypto could see limited additional upside toward the pattern’s base before resuming its correction toward the market bottom.

Bullish sentiment towards Hyperliquid is again on the rise, with crypto whales accumulating the perp DEX token. The first HYPE ETF in the U.S. could launch soon, which is also contributing to this bullish sentiment. Why Bullish Sentiment Towards Hyperliquid Is On The Rise Crypto whales are again massively accumulating Hyperliquid, which has sparked the bullish sentiment towards the perp DEX token. In an X post, on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes bought 26,022 HYPE, worth $1.1 million again, after nearly 3 months. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Hyperliquid Price Is Exploding Again Hayes is one of many crypto whales Lookonchain has flagged as currently buying HYPE. The platform revealed that a particular whale had deposited 7.86 million USDC into Hyperliquid to buy 200,042 HYPE. Another whale, Cooker, also bought 50,751 HYPE for $1.99 million at an average price of $38.5. Such massive accumulation among crypto whales typically precedes a price surge for Hyperliquid. It is worth noting that the HYPE price is already up amid this accumulation wave, up over 12% in the last week. The perp DEX token has reclaimed the key $40 level and is now eyeing new local highs. Interestingly, Hayes has predicted that Hyperliquid could reach $150 by August. He stated that this could happen as the HIP-3 markets continue to generate record fees for the perp DEX. The DEX has seen greater adoption since the U.S.-Iran war began, as traders can trade commodities such as oil on HIP-3. DeFiLlama data shows that Hyperliquid currently ranks among the crypto protocols generating the most fees. This is bullish for HYPE because a majority of these fees go into buybacks, which could spark significant rallies for the token. An HYPE ETF Is On The Horizon Bitwise has filed an amended registration statement for its Hyperliquid ETF, with the fund set to trade under the ticker ‘BHYP.’ The asset manager also set a management fee of 0.67% for the fund. Meanwhile, it listed market makers FalconX, Flowdesk, Nonco, and Wintermute as approved trading counterparties. Related Reading: XRP, HBAR, And Litecoin: Pundit Highlights Coins To Watch In 2026 Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the filing indicates that the fund could launch soon, a development that is also bullish for Hyperliquid. The fund is expected to attract new inflows into the HYPE ecosystem as institutional investors gain exposure to the HYPE token through this ETF. Grayscale and 21shares have also filed to launch a Hyperliquid ETF, which is also bullish for the HYPE price. Balchunas noted that Bitwise may be looking to launch its HYPE ETF soon, given strong interest in HYPE, which is up 200% over the last year. At the time of writing, the Hyperliquid price is trading at around $42, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Medium, chart from Tradingview.com
Spot Bitcoin (BTC) Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have shown strength amid the crypto market’s correction and the flagship crypto’s latest performance. Some experts have praised investors’ resilience, suggesting that the “real story” is not in the recent outflows. Related Reading: Ethereum’s Fate Hangs On This Multi-Year Support – Recovery Or Deeper Pullback Next? ETFs Investors Hold Strong Despite Market Downturn On Thursday, Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, affirmed that Bitcoin ETF investors have “largely displayed diamond hands” during the recent crypto market downturn. The flagship crypto has seen a 48.2% correction from its October 6, 2025, all-time high (ATH), recording five consecutive months of strong bleeding after the October 10 market crash. Since then, spot BTC ETFs have seen about $6.5 billion in outflows, the expert observed, which he considers a “drop in the bucket” compared to the $55 billion in cumulative total net inflows that the category has seen since launching in January 2024. It’s worth noting that crypto-based investment products have seen five weeks of outflows this year, with Bitcoin having the weakest sentiment among major assets amid the negative market sentiment of the past month. According to SoSoValue data, BTC funds have recorded $3.81 billion in net outflows since January 23, starting the week with $203.82 million in outflows on Monday. However, Geraci highlighted potential renewed demand for the investment products as the category sees a three-day streak of consistent inflows. Notably, Bitcoin ETFs have seen over $1 billion in inflows over the past three days, setting the stage for their potential biggest week since mid-January. The ETF expert emphasized that 50% drawdowns “are a walk in the park for long-time BTC investors,” but observed that newer ETF investors also appear unfazed by the current market conditions. “Not first time btc has experienced 50% decline & likely won’t be the last. ETF investors clearly aren’t panicking, though. Apparently buying the dip,” he wrote on X. Bitcoin ETFs Strength Is The ‘Real Story’ Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas backed Geraci’s comment, praising the remarkable performance of spot Bitcoin ETFs over the past two years. “As an ETF watcher, you know just how absurd this strength amid a 50% drawdown,” Balchunas stated. “This is the real story, vs focusing on the $6b that came out, which most stories do.” “Further, the narrative that crypto is ‘paying the price’ for getting financialized is absurd. $55b in net new cash in two years is the opposite of paying the price,” he added on X. In a recent interview, the senior analyst observed that the amount of Bitcoin held by ETFs is only down around 6% despite the market pullback. He noted that these types of corrections happen to every asset, including bonds and stocks, before recovering. Stocks have the same thing. Every time stocks go down, I remind myself and then other people that stocks have a 100% perfect record of coming back to hit all-time highs from a downturn. So, why would I worry that much, right? Related Reading: XRP Rally Incoming? Analyst Forecasts March-April Recovery If This Level Breaks Balchunas affirmed that these assets can have “really horrible streaks, but then when they come back around, the flows come back.” He concluded that the price volatility and the negative market sentiment are “the cost of the holy grail returns that most people have gotten.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
As market participants focus on short-term price movements, Bitcoin is approaching a notable on-chain milestone, with the number of wallets holding at least 100 BTC climbing toward record levels. This growing concentration of high-value holdings reflects increasing accumulation by large investors, and is viewed as a sign of strong long-term confidence in the world’s leading cryptocurrency. How Large Holders Influence Bitcoin’s Market Cycles Bitcoin is approaching a major milestone, with the number of wallet addresses holding at least 100 BTC set to surpass 20,000. An on-chain analytics firm, Santiment, highlighted on X that at current market valuations, a wallet holding 100 BTC or more is valued at roughly $6.78 million, indicating these addresses are largely controlled by high-net-worth individuals, funds, long-term holders, and institutional participants. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holders Underwater As Supply In Loss Spikes, Reaching Historic Extremes When the number of 100+ BTC wallets increases during or shortly after price declines, as it has been recently, it can be considered a bullish signal. While the number of whale wallets is rising, the overall percentage of BTC supply held by key stakeholders has not meaningfully increased. This helps explain why prices have remained suppressed. However, the growth in 100+ BTC wallets indicates broader distribution among large holders rather than a small group controlling the consolidation. In that sense, it points to less extreme consolidation at the very top. At the same time, it also shows that wealth is clearly migrating from smaller retail wallets into stronger hands. This does not signal decentralization at the smallest ownership level, but it does show that more separate entities are reaching the whale status. Historically, expanding whale wallet counts have often appeared during accumulation phases that later support the price recoveries. For a stronger structural shift to occur, the increase in wallet numbers would need to be matched by a rise in the overall supply they control. That dynamic typically unfolds as retail participants slowly sell off their coins to larger wallets. Meanwhile, history has shown that if retail traders eventually panic-sell or take profit too early, it might lead to the absorption stage. Is This A True Rebound Or A Dead Bounce? Bitcoin adoption is picking up pace across the sector. According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, Bitcoin Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) just recorded their strongest day, pulling in roughly $500 million in a single day, reaching $750 million over the past two days combined at the time the report was published. Related Reading: Engine Stalled: How The $8 Billion ‘October Shock’ Left Bitcoin’s Spot Market In A Liquidity Trap Balchunas views the inflows as “a hitter in a slump going yard,” suggesting the market had been in urgent need of a catalyst after a prolonged period of weak performance. The strong back-to-back inflows have helped ease pressure on the sector, pushing year-to-date ETF outflows to under $2 billion. Despite the sharp turnaround, uncertainty remains about whether the inflow spike represents the beginning of a sustained recovery or merely a temporary bounce.

Bitcoin is down more than 40% from its October highs, but investors in spot Bitcoin ETFs have pulled 6.6% of assets.
Crypto analyst TARA has predicted that the Bitcoin price will still rally despite bearish signals that have surfaced. She highlighted why the flagship crypto could reach this level and what could happen once it touches the price target. Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Surge To $99,000 In an X post, TARA opined that the Bitcoin price will reach $99,300, even though the flagship crypto is printing a bearish candlestick. She stated that BTC wants to touch this price target before it retraces deeper so that the correction does not break the critical support at $90,000. The analyst added that retracement levels for BTC will continue to be adjusted, with the new 2026 high above $97,000, while revealing subwaves on the way to the full target at $103,000. Related Reading: Analyst Outlines The Bulllish And Bearish Scenarios For Bitcoin – Here’s What To Know Notably, crypto traders are currently betting on the Bitcoin price rallying past the $99,000 level and reaching the psychological $100,000 level. Polymarket data shows a 48% chance that BTC will rally to $100,000 this month. This follows the flagship crypto’s recent rally from around $92,000 to above $97,000 following the release of the soft CPI inflation data earlier this week. The spot Bitcoin ETFs have also contributed to the Bitcoin price surge to start the year. In an X post, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted that ETFs recorded net inflows of $843 million on January 14 and now boast 1-week net inflows of $1 billion and $1.5 billion year-to-date (YTD). With BTC rallying to $97,000 after trading sideways towards the end of last year, Balchunas opined that the buyers may have exhausted the sellers. Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Rally On Rising Liquidity In his latest blog post, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicted that the Bitcoin price could sustain this rally as dollar liquidity rapidly increases. Hayes expects dollar liquidity to increase as U.S. President Donald Trump finds more ways to inject liquidity into the economy. The BitMEX co-founder highlighted how Trump plans to lower mortgage rates, which could cause Americans to borrow more. Related Reading: What’s Going On With Bitcoin And The Stock Market? Analyst Breaks It Down Hayes also mentioned that the liquidity in 2025 didn’t support crypto portfolios, which is why the Bitcoin price underperformed. He urged market participants not to draw wrong conclusions from the 2025 underperformance, as it was always a liquidity story rather than a cyclical bear market, as some analysts suggested. More liquidity could also flow into the market as Trump nominates a rate-cut advocate to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell. This could lead to larger rate cuts, which would be bullish for the Bitcoin price and the broader crypto market. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $95,300, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Several catalysts have emerged that point to a sustained upward momentum for the Dogecoin price. This comes amid DOGE’s 26% gain to begin the year, with the meme coin now looking to break above the $0.15 resistance. Factors That Could Contribute To A Sustained Dogecoin Price Rally One factor pointing to a sustained Dogecoin price rally is the recent inflows into DOGE ETFs. SoSoValue data show that Bitwise and Grayscale’s funds have recorded net inflows on two of the three trading days this year. Notably, the Dogecoin ETFs recorded inflows of $2.30 million and $1.60 million on January 2 and 5, respectively. This marked the first consecutive daily net inflows since December 3 last year. Related Reading: Analyst Says the Worst Is Over For Dogecoin, Predicts Rally To $0.8 The daily net inflows into the DOGE ETFs indicate a renewed interest among institutional investors in the meme coin, which is a positive for the Dogecoin price. DOGE could see a sustained rally if the inflows into these funds continue. Notably, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that a 2x Dogecoin ETF has had the best start to the year among all ETFs, up almost 40%. Furthermore, activity in the derivatives market also supports a sustained rally for the Dogecoin price. CoinGlass data shows that traders on top exchanges such as Binance and OKX are currently long. The long/short ratio on Binance is 2.06, well above 1. The long/short ratio for top traders on Binance is at 2.5, which is also a huge positive. Further data from CoinGlass also shows that the derivatives trading volume has surged over 2% to $5.60 billion. However, open interest has dropped by almost 7% to $1.78 billion, likely due to the market volatility as long positions were wiped out. DOGE Eyes Break Above $0.15 Crypto analyst ZiP stated in an X post that on the daily chart, the Dogecoin price is currently reacting to a local resistance at around $0.15. He further remarked that if the $0.15 resistance breaks, the next zone that the DOGE price may aim for is around $0.24. The analyst noted that this is where the first significant Fibonacci level, measured from the entire bearish move, is located. Meanwhile, ZiP mentioned that an additional reference point is the daily pivot at $0.1288, which he noted in the short term defines the market’s equilibrium level. Crypto analyst Trader Tarigrade revealed that the Dogecoin price has broken out of a falling wedge, showing strong upward momentum. Based on this, he predicted that DOGE is ready for a major surge, although he warned that the meme coin might retrace briefly. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could Rally To All-Time Highs If It Breaks This Resistance Level At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.148, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Canary’s spot XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) has surpassed most of the experts’ predictions, and it is currently on track to see a record-breaking debut after registering strong institutional demand on its first day. Related Reading: Winklevoss Twins Back Zcash (ZEC) Treasury Company With $58M Investment First Spot XRP ETF Begins Trading On Thursday, the first single-token XRP spot ETF began trading on Nasdaq, smashing the initial performance expectations of multiple experts after clearing the last regulatory hurdles this week. Following the launch of Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF (XRPC), the investment management firm asserted its conviction that “XRP Ledger represents a leading framework for global payments — purpose-built for interoperability and real-world settlement.” Notably, Canary Capital recently completed its 8-A filing for its XRPC ETF with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and received the stock exchange’s green light on Wednesday afternoon. The Thursday launch comes amid the end of the US Government shutdown, which officially lasted 43 days and was forecasted to delay the long-awaited Altcoin ETFs until its conclusion. For context, the SEC was expected to approve multiple crypto-based investment products between early October and November, after the regulatory agency postponed the decision deadline in Q3 and released new generic listing standards for the products. However, the second wave of crypto-based investment products arrived despite the government setback, with the first set of ETFs launching over two weeks ago. On October 28, Canary Capital’s spot Litecoin and Hedera ETFs and Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) began trading after filing 8-A forms with the SEC. As crypto journalist Eleanor Terret explained, the launch was possible because an open government wasn’t required to continue the process, and the 8-A filings are “just as important” as the S-1 forms, since they register ETF shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Canary’s XRPC To Challenge BSOL’s Debut Ahead of the launch, multiple experts predicted that Canary’s spot XRP ETF could see strong demand and reach between $15 million and $35 million in volume on its first day. Senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, Eric Balchunas, initially suggested that the investment product could hit $17 million in volume. Following the first half-hour, the XRP ETF saw $26 million in volume, the analyst noted, breaking past his original expectations. As a result, Balchunas suggested that the XRPC had a “good shot” at surpassing BSOL’s first-day volume and becoming the biggest ETF launch of 2025. As reported by NewsBTC, Bitwise’s SOL Staking ETF recorded an impressive volume of $10 million in the first 30 minutes of trading, which surged to $33 million by the half-day mark. The investment product closed its first day with around $57 million in volume, beating all other launches of this year. Related Reading: SUI Eyes Key Retest As Price Breaks Out Of Downtrend – Rally To $3 Ahead? In the afternoon, analyst James Seyffart noted that Canary’s XRP ETF had recorded around $46 million in volume by the half-day mark, with a few more hours of trading ahead. The analyst initially suggested that XRPC could see around $34 million in volume on day one. “This is almost guaranteed to be near the top of the list for 2025 launches and still has a shot at beating $BSOL for the top spot,” Seyffart concluded. As of this writing, XRP trades at $2.30, a 3.3% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
The crypto industry is approaching a major milestone as the market anticipates the potential approval of an XRP Spot ETF in the United States (US). Analysts suggest that recent developments regarding the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) review could deliver the final nail in the coffin for XRP. With ETF filings still awaiting approval, the market is watching closely, as a green light could pave the way to greater mainstream adoption and institutional investment in XRP. XRP ETF To Become Game-Changer For The Market Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management and co-founder of The ETF Institute, recently stated on X social media that the first Spot XRP ETF could launch within the next two weeks. He described this event as the “final nail in the coffin” for the previous wave of anti-crypto regulators. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Decouple From Bitcoin, Here’s What Would Happen Notably, the US SEC had been involved in litigation against Ripple for five years, which concluded about three months ago. Geraci believes that the approval of a Spot XRP ETF represents a significant step forward for not only XRP but also the broader cryptocurrency industry. The temporary delay caused by the US government shutdown, which started in October, has pushed back XRP ETF approvals. However, new reports of bipartisan efforts to reopen government operations have reignited expectations of an ETF. Geraci pointed out in a subsequent X post that the end of the government shutdown could unleash a wave of crypto ETF launches, with a 33 Act spot XRP ETF likely coming this week. Recently, the US Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) listed nine new Spot XRP ETFs on its platform, increasing expectations of a launch this November. The list includes XRP ETFs from top asset managers such as Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, Volatility Shares, CoinShares, T-Rex Osprey, 21Shares, and many others. ETF Filing Amendment Brings Launch Closer Than Ever Further evidence that an XRP ETF may be imminent comes from recent filing updates by leading issuers. Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, reported that 21Shares has submitted an 8(a) form with the US SEC on November 7 for its spot XRP ETF. The new changes in the filing officially activate a 20-day countdown for the approval and launch of an XRP ETF by November 27. Related Reading: Rare Chart Formation That Led To An 87% XRP Price Crash Has Resurfaced Crypto commentator John Squire also noted that if the US SEC does not take action within the allotted period, the approval would automatically proceed. Similarly, multiple issuers, including Canary Capital, have also withdrawn “delaying amendments,” triggering the same 20-day automatic approval countdown. Notably, these filings suggest that the market is moving closer to a regulatory green light for XRP ETFs. Amid recent developments, Squire has pointed out that the US has never been this close to fully approving an XRP ETF. Should the SEC give its authorization, it could significantly transform trading volume, liquidity, and institutional participation in the market. It would also expand the current major ETF offerings beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
Following the recent launch of multiple crypto ETFs, Bitwise Asset Manager’s CIO has forecasted a bright future for the firm’s Solana Staking Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), as investors show strong initial interest in the investment product. Related Reading: November Preview: Will Bitcoin Break The Cycle Or Repeat It? Bitwise Solana Staking ETF Sees Strong Start On Tuesday, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicted that the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) could attract significant institutional interest and become one of the leading investment products based on digital assets. Hougan argued that Solana is “one of the most exciting crypto investment opportunities that exists today,” as it records “the most revenue of any blockchain.” He explained that institutional investors “love” both ETFs and revenue, which suggests that these investors will “love Solana ETFs.” Bitwise’s CIO previously pointed out that there must be fundamental reasons for investors’ interest in investment vehicles such as ETFs and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), signaling that Solana has them. Therefore, he has “a feeling the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, BSOL, is gonna be huge.” Ahead of the launch, ETF Expert Eric Balchunas predicted that the first day volume for Bitwise’s Solana ETF could surpass the $50 million mark. Notably, the firm’s spot Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and spot Ethereum ETH (ETHW) recorded $237.9 million and $204 million on their first day, respectively. Hougan has highlighted that Solana’s market capitalization is 1/20th the size of BTC and less than 1/4th the size of ETH. Based on this, the volume for an SOL ETF is expected to be smaller than that of ETFs based on the two leading crypto assets. According to data shared by Balchunas, BSOL recorded an impressive volume of $10 million in the first 30 minutes of trading, hinting at initial demand. This amount surged to approximately $33 million by the half-day mark and hit $56 million by the end of its first trading day. According to the analyst, BSOL had a strong start, noting that its “$56m is the MOST of any launch this year.. More than XRPR, SSK, Ives and BMNU.” Crypto ETFs Launch Amid Government Shutdown BSOL was among the crypto ETFs launched on October 28 despite the US government shutdown. As reported by NewsBTC, Bitwise, for its Solana Staking ETF, and Canary Capital, for its spot Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR) ETFs, filed 8-A forms on Monday to launch the investment products this week despite the government shutdown. Notably, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was set to approve over a dozen altcoin ETFs between October and November after delaying the decision deadline and releasing new generic listing standards for the products. Related Reading: Bitcoin Obsession Costs Saylor — S&P Tags Strategy As ‘Junk’ However, investors expected that the long-awaited green light would be delayed until the end of the government shutdown. Journalist Eleanor Terret explained that the launch was possible because an open government isn’t required and the 8-A filings are “just as important” as the S-1 forms, as they formally register ETF shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, after the NYSE certified all the filings for the ETFs, they could start trading on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s Solana Trust (GSOL) will convert into an ETF on Wednesday.

Crypto analyst CryptoELITES has predicted that the Dogecoin price could reach $5, providing a bullish outlook for the foremost meme coin. The analyst also mentioned what needs to happen for DOGE to reach this ambitious price target. Dogecoin Price Eyes Rally To $5 If This Happens In an X post, CryptoELITES stated that the target for the Dogecoin price is $5 after a DOGE ETF launches. The analyst opined that a huge wave of institutional money is about to flow into meme coins very soon, with this money coming through the ETFs. Notably, REX-Osprey is launching the first Dogecoin ETF today. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Eyes 1,250% Surge To $3.5 – Here’s The Roadmap The REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF will provide institutional investors with spot exposure to DOGE and could serve as a catalyst for a Dogecoin price rally to $5, as CryptoELITES predicts. New capital could flow into the DOGE ecosystem through this ETF, which would spark higher prices for the foremost meme coin. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that more Dogecoin ETFs could launch soon enough, especially with the SEC’s approval of generic listing standards, which help fast-track crypto ETF listings. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas revealed that DOGE is one of the crypto assets that has futures on Coinbase, which makes it eligible for faster listing under the SEC’s new rule. Notably, Grayscale, Bitwise, and 21Shares have filed for a DOGE ETF, and their respective funds could launch soon, which is bullish for the Dogecoin price. The launch of these other ETFs besides the REX-Osprey ETF means that more liquidity could flow into the meme coin’s ecosystem, although it remains to be seen if the $5 target is achieved. Meanwhile, CryptoELITES had also previously predicted that the Dogecoin price could reach $5 from a technical analysis perspective. The analyst cited DOGE’s historical cycles and the gains it recorded previously as the reason why the meme coin could reach this target. $10 DOGE Target Still In Place Crypto analyst DOGECAPITAL has again reiterated his $10 target for the Dogecoin price in this cycle. He believes that the meme coin can reach and surpass this target based on historical trends. He noted that each cycle’s first year (2013, 2017, and 2021) has historically delivered the strongest gains. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Just Broke A Regional High For The First Time This Year, Why A 300% Rally To $1 Is Possible The analyst noted that in the current cycle, the pattern suggests that the Dogecoin price could be in for substantial upside this year if history repeats, although the yearly candle hasn’t closed yet. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could even reach as high as $36 in this cycle. Meanwhile, DOGECAPITAL predicted that Dogecoin’s cycle could extend from the projected October cycle top if Bitcoin’s does. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.28, up over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, has broken its silence on whether it intends to file for an XRP ETF. This follows months of speculation that the firm could soon file to offer this fund. BlackRock Has No Plans For An XRP ETF For Now A BlackRock spokesperson told The Block that they have no plans to file for an XRP ETF at this time. This ends speculations that it will join eight other asset managers who have already filed to offer this fund. The world’s largest asset manager already offers Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, and based on the statement, the firm plans to stick with only the two largest crypto assets. Related Reading: BlackRock To File For XRP ETF After Ripple-SEC Settlement? Market Expert Answers NovaDius Wealth President Nate Geraci was one of those who had speculated that BlackRock was going to file for an XRP ETF soon. Prior to the asset manager’s statement, Geraci opined that the firm was waiting for the Ripple SEC lawsuit to end before filing for an iShares XRP ETF. He made this prediction following Ripple and the SEC’s filing of a joint dismissal to end the XRP lawsuit. Geraci further remarked that it makes “zero” sense for BlackRock to ignore crypto assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. He added that if they do that, they are basically saying that BTC and ETH are the only crypto assets that will ever have value. Following BlackRock’s statement, the NovaDius Wealth president said that the firm’s decision not to file for an XRP ETF will be looked on as a mistake. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas also weighed in on BlackRock’s decision not to file for an XRP ETF. He asked Geraci if an XRP filing is enough or if he feels the world’s largest asset manager should also file for SOL, Tron ETFs. He further questioned where exactly the line should be drawn on how many crypto ETFs asset managers should offer. Potential Demand For These Funds Nate Geraci believes that there will be significant demand for the XRP ETFs, which is one reason why he thinks BlackRock is making a mistake by not filing for one. He noted that futures-based XRP funds have taken in over $1 billion since their launch this year. He opined that this proves that there will be “real” demand for the spot funds. Related Reading: XRP Price Projection: 5 Key Things To Watch Out For As The Bull Market Unfolds Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton is confident that BlackRock will still file for an XRP ETF. He said that he is willing to bet that this happens within a year. BlackRock’s failure to file for this ETF now and opt to do so later could prove costly since the pending applications could have the first-mover advantage. According to Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, there is a 95% chance that the SEC approves these funds this year. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.26, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Ripple Queen has made a bold prediction that the XRP price can reach $10,000 at some point. The analyst also highlighted factors that make this price target achievable despite how ambitious it is. XRP Price To $10,000 Is Already On The Horizon In an X post, Ripple Queen declared that an XRP price tag of $10,000 is already “locked in.” She claimed that the math proves that the altcoin can reach this target and then alluded to how its supply is limited and its utility is unmatched. The analyst added that the world is catching up fast, indicating that more people are adopting XRP. Related Reading: Market Cap Not A Hindrance To XRP Price Reaching $1,000, Expert Explains Why Ripple Queen further stated that regulatory clarity is falling into place for the crypto industry, which is bullish for the XRP price. Thanks to this regulatory clarity, with laws like the GENIUS Act, Ripple is set to expand its operations, which will boost XRP’s adoption. The altcoin is known to be at the centre of the crypto firm’s operations. Ripple CTO David Schwartz also recently indicated that it will continue to be the bridge currency for their payment services. In line with this, Ripple Queen remarked that mass adoption is no longer a dream but a countdown, which is why she believes that the XRP price will reach $10,000. The analyst also stated that banks and institutional investors are quietly accumulating, a move that she is confident will soon lead to a massive supply shock for the altcoin. These institutional investors will also have an avenue to accumulate more XRP once the SEC approves the spot ETFs. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have already predicted a 95% chance of approval for the XRP ETFs. The launch of these funds will drive more capital into the altcoin’s ecosystem, which is bullish for the XRP price. Current Price Action On Journey To $10,000 Crypto analyst CasiTrades has provided insights into the current XRP price action, even as it eyes this projected rally to $10,000. In an X post, she stated that the price action isn’t bearish yet from a technical standpoint despite the recent correction. The analyst noted that the low at $2.75 remains above the wave 1 high around $2.65, which keeps the larger uptrend intact. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Is Now In Wave 4 — What To Expect CasiTrades further revealed that bullish divergences are showing up on the 15-minute chart up to the 4-hour chart. She claimed that this supports the case that $2.75 could be the bottom of this corrective wave. Moving forward, the analyst stated that a proper reclaim of $3.21 and a strong break above this level would begin to confirm that the correction is over and that the next leg up is underway. If that happens, the next target zone will be between $4.60 and $4.80. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.05, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst MMBTtrader has predicted that the Dogecoin price could record a 60% rally from its current level. He highlighted an ascending channel that the foremost meme coin needs to break above to witness this massive uptrend. Dogecoin Price Eyes 60% Rally To $0.4 In a TradingView post, MMBTtrader predicted that the Dogecoin price could rally to as high as $0.4 once it breaks above the ascending channel at around $0.243. He claimed that with good volume, the market will pump nonstop. The analyst is confident that this will happen, declaring that the breakout will be huge and that a 60% rally is a likely target. Related Reading: This Fibonacci Level Puts The Dogecoin Price Above $10 This Cycle MMBTtrader also stated that the market would be extremely bullish if the Dogecoin price should rally to this $0.4 target. He predicted that the $0.75 and $1 price levels will be in sight once DOGE reaches $0.4. A rally to these $0.75 and $1 targets would mark new all-time highs (ATHs) for the leading meme coin. DOGE has sometimes lagged behind other meme coins. However, the crypto analyst expects the Dogecoin price to pump massively this time and be “a leader of memes for weeks.” The meme coin looks to be already leading the way, standing out as one of the top gainers during the current crypto market rally. The Dogecoin price has broken above the psychological $0.2 level and looks ready to reach new highs in the coming weeks, with a break above the $0.42 level, MMBTtrader highlighted. Fundamentals, such as the potential launch of Dogecoin ETFs, could serve as a tailwind for higher prices. Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas predict there is a 90% chance the SEC will approve these funds this year. Only A Matter Of Time For DOGE In an X post, crypto analyst Kevin Capital remarked that it is only a matter of time before the Dogecoin price makes its move back up to between $0.28 and $0.30 and then “well beyond.” He added that as long as the Bitcoin price holds up and continues to show strength, this move for DOGE should come sooner rather than later.

Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade revealed that the DOGE/BTC pair has formed a Cup-and-Handle pattern and broken out of the trendline. He had noted that this bullish pattern suggests that the meme coin may outperform the flagship crypto. The analyst added that the Dogecoin price has gained strong momentum. This recent analysis echoes an earlier prediction, when Trader Tardigrade also stated that DOGE may soon show a God candle on its BTC pair. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.24, up 14% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst InvestingScope has drawn market participants’ attention to a major occurrence that hints at an imminent altcoin season. The analyst also revealed how high the crypto market could reach as altcoins outperform Bitcoin during this period.

As such, the crypto market cap, currently valued at $3.39 trillion, can reach the $4 trillion target during this altcoin season rally. Altcoins have again rallied following the recent Bitcoin run close to its all-time high (ATH). The Ethereum price hit $2,900, coming close to the psychological $3,000 level. Additionally, the Solana price also hit $170, its highest level over the last 90 days. With two of the top major altcoins making these runs, this has further fueled optimism that altcoin season may be around the corner. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas told investors to get ready for a potential Altcoin ETF summer with Solana likely leading the way. This development could be the catalyst that sparks the altcoin season, with the SEC already asking issuers to amend their S-1 filings. Meanwhile, the Ethereum ETFs just hit a four-month high of inflows, with $240 million flowing into these funds on June 11. These funds have also witnessed 18 consecutive days of inflows as optimism grows about the SEC approving staking for these funds. This could be another catalyst for altcoin season as the Ethereum price usually leads the way. ETH/BTC Breakout Is Imminent In an X post, market expert Paul Barron indicated that the ETH/BTC breakout was imminent, a development which would usher in the altcoin season. He declared that Altseason is preparing for a face-melter and that the ETH/BTC breakout is “committed”. The expert added that with market sentiment up 2.8%, ETH will be the leader. Related Reading: When Will Altcoin Season Begin After Bitcoin Price Hit ATH Above $111,000? Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto has also made a case for Ethereum to lead the altcoin season.

Crypto analyst EXCAVO has alluded to the potential Litecoin ETFs and how they spark a massive price surge for LTC. The analyst also revealed how high LTC could rally to at the end of this bull cycle thanks to these ETFs. How The Litecoin ETFs Could Drive LTC’s Price To $800 In a TradingView post, EXCAVO highlighted the Litecoin ETFs as one of the factors that could drive LTC’s price to $800 at the end of the cycle. He noted that Litecoin is just a fork of Bitcoin, and there is not much technology in it. However, he added that a decentralization and adoption issue is occurring, making LTC a suitable candidate for a potential ETF.

Meanwhile, from a technical analysis perspective, the analyst also stated that the crypto has a standard triangle with horizontal resistance on top. He added that such resistances tend to break out strongly. As such, the analyst is confident that LTC can reach $800 in this cycle thanks to its bullish fundamentals and technicals. EXCAVO also alluded to the LTC/BTC pair, noting that the fall has stopped and the bottom has been minimized. In line with this, he remarked that he expects an upward jump soon enough. LTC Is Headed To $180 In The Short Term In an X post, crypto analyst Dom opined that the Litecoin price is headed to $180. This came as he explained why he doesn’t believe LTC has topped in this cycle. Alluding to historical patterns, the analyst asserted that Litecoin’s chart is nothing like a topping formation.

The Spot Bitcoin ETFs have become a major headliner recently due to heightened levels of market inflows. According to data from SoSoValue, these ETFs have attracted over $5 billion in investments over the past three weeks coinciding with an impressive Bitcoin price rally of over 23%. However, amidst this euphoria, macro investment researcher Jim Bianco says these Spot ETFs have contributed no significant growth to the Bitcoin market. Related Reading: BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Reaches 2% Of Total BTC Supply Amid Record Inflows Spot Bitcoin ETFs Bring In No New Money, Only Recycled Investments In a series of X posts on November 2, Bianco claimed the Spot Bitcoin ETFs despite their impressive inflow record do not attract any new investments to the underlying asset. Firstly, The analyst applauds the performance of these institutional funds some of which rank as the best-performing ETFs of 2024 following their launch in January. However, Bianco highlights BTC has failed to surpass its all-time high value of 73,750 set eight months ago despite the Spot Bitcoin ETFs accruing over $12 billion in inflows since BTC within the same period. Rather than being less than 4% down from its ATH, the analyst explained that such high inflows should have since pushed premier cryptocurrency beyond the $100,000 mark especially considering other positive indicators such as Fed rate cuts, the halving, and public endorsement by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. For context, Bianco references the Gold ETFs with a record of over $6 billion in inflows since March 13, resulting in a 25% increase in gold’s market price during that period. The market analyst postulates that this price growth can be attributed to the “new money” flowing into the Gold ETFs. However, recycled funds shifted from on-chain wallets or centralized exchanges account for the majority of the investments in Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Jim Bianco backs this theory with a report from Coinbase CFO Alesia Haas which highlighted a decline in the exchange’s bitcoin retail traders over the last few months. Furthermore, he also points to the average Spot BTC ETF trade of $16,000 compared to the average gold ETF trade of $72,000 which is consistent with investments from wealth managers and institutions. In conclusion, Jim Bianco states the Spot Bitcoin ETFs are not attracting any “new money” but merely circulating existing investments in Bitcoin, which he describes as a concerning trend that may grant traditional financial institutions (TradFi) more influence in the crypto market as against the ethos of decentralization. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could Climb To $0.209 — Here’s The Level To Watch Bloomberg Analyst Fires Back At BTC ETF Criticism Popular Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has issued a strong rebuttal to Bianco’s take on the Spot Bitcoin ETFs which he describes as merely “mental gymnastics”. Balchunas has lauded the performances of these ETFs which he believed have played a crucial role in driving Bitcoin’s price from $35,000 in January to the present market price of almost $70,000. The Bloomberg analyst describes the Spot Bitcoin ETFs as “powerful” due to their low cost, high liquidity, and association with an established brand name and advises against betting against them. At the time of writing, BTC. continues to trade at $68,100 reflecting a 2.55% decline in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Blockzeit, chart from Tradingview
ETF analyst Eric Balchunas says the outsized trading volume across BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF is proof that investors are panic-buying Bitcoin as the asset nears its all-time high.
Market analyst and President of the ETF Store Nate Geraci has backed the US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs to overtake the Gold ETFs in terms of cumulative net flows. This projection comes amidst a staggering performance by these Bitcoin ETFs in the past few days where they have attracted over $2 billion in weekly netflows. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaking Out Of 7-Month Accumulation Channel: Expert Predicts Further Upside Spot Bitcoin ETFs To Surpass Gold ETF In 2 Years, Analyst Says The spot Bitcoin ETFs rattled the global financial markets this week recording net inflows of $2.13 billion according to data from SoSoValue. This massive influx of investments occurred as Bitcoin surged by 9.23%, approaching a critical resistance zone at the $70,000 price mark. Amidst this market euphoria, Nate Geraci has predicted the spot Bitcoin ETFs to record a higher cumulative total netflows than the Gold ETFs in the next two years. This forecast is largely unsurprising considering the exponential growth of these Bitcoin ETFs since their launch on January 11. For context, the Gold ETFs currently boast of combined net inflows of around $55 billion in comparison to $20.66 billion aggregate net inflows in the spot Bitcoin ETFs market. However, the Bitcoin ETFs have been trading for barely a year compared to the Gold ETFs which have been around for over 20 years. Furthermore, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas recently highlighted that spot Bitcoin ETFs have amassed over $65 billion in total net assets, a milestone that took Gold ETFs nearly five years to achieve. This figure is also over 25% of the total assets under management in the global Gold ETF market. In addition, Geraci’s theory is further strengthened by the few 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs currently trading compared to the almost 5000 Gold ETFs on the global financial market. Therefore, these Bitcoin ETFs may actually be poised to overtake their Gold counterparts, especially considering the upcoming crypto market bull run and current adoption levels of digital assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $95,000? Here’s What Needs To Happen First Bitcoin Set For Price Recorrection Amidst Market Surge In other news, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has shared that Bitcoin may soon experience a “short-term dip” following its recent price rally. As earlier stated, the crypto market leader gained by over 8% moving from around $63,000 to nearly breaking above $69,000. While the BTC market is currently bullish, Martinez states that the TD sequential is currently indicating a sell signal on the 4-hour chart which is strengthened by a bearish divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). If Bitcoin’s price were to decline, investors would turn their attention to the $60,000 price zone at which lies its next support level. Albeit a strong selling pressure may cause the premier cryptocurrency to trade as low as $55,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin continues to trade at $68,428 with a 0.98% gain in the last day.
