Five straight weeks of net redemptions from crypto investment products are enough to raise the alarm, as they point to a choice that keeps getting made, with the same logic, on the same cadence, by the same kinds of committees.

Bitcoin is turning into multi-generational wealth, and a large share of holders still run it with a single point of failure.

Bitcoin’s rally is riding record $1.279 trillion margin debt, and the unwind could arrive without warning Bitcoin’s next phase is being shaped by a record build in U.S. market leverage, recession-leaning survey data and an expanding Treasury buyback program that is aimed at bond-market plumbing rather than monetary easing.

Ethereum’s latest long-term planning document has given investors a new way to assess whether the digital asset can eventually reach $10,000 by the end of this decade.

Public Bitcoin miners collectively held 115,335 BTC as of Feb. 20, worth roughly $7.4 billion at the recent price, but that treasury dropped 4.44% month-over-month, the first sustained contraction since miners began stockpiling coins as balance-sheet assets.
