Financial markets keep rallying, but a look beneath the surface paints a much riskier picture for the months ahead. Many investors now warn that Wall Street is ignoring growing cracks in the U.S. job market and real economy, a disconnect that has led to major trouble before. Why Wall Street is so out of step […]

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan has stated that a growing number of professional investors are skipping Bitcoin and turning directly to Ethereum as their first crypto investment. This has long been regarded as the entry point into digital assets, and Bitcoin is now sharing the spotlight with Ethereum. Ethereum Emerging As First Choice For Professional Investors In Ripdoteth’s update on X, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan has revealed on live that an interesting trend is emerging. He claims that many professional investors are bypassing Bitcoin and going directly to Ethereum, whose utility in decentralized finance, smart contracts, and Web3 applications is increasingly drawing institutional capital. The reason he explains is rooted in how institutions already think about portfolio construction. Related Reading: You Know Bitmine Has Been Buying Ethereum, But Can You Believe How Much ETH The Company Now Holds? According to the expert, most professional investors don’t actually own gold. This is because Gold is considered a niche asset, with perhaps only 15% to 20% of institutions holding it, while the vast majority of 80% or more invest in stocks and bonds. Since Bitcoin is often framed as digital gold, its appeal is limited for many professionals who never allocated to gold in the first place. “A lot of people look at Bitcoin like it’s digital gold. I don’t own gold, but I do own technologies,” Hougan stated. ETH fits naturally into the portfolios of those who already allocate to innovative technologies. With tokenization and stablecoins gaining traction, he expects institutional flow into ETH to continue building momentum. ETH Hits All-Time Highs As Institutions Target Long-Term Holdings While institutions see Ethereum as the exposure to the technological backbone of a digital economy, Wall Street FOMO has hit historic levels, as the US institutional appetite for ETH is reaching unprecedented heights. Related Reading: Bitcoin & Ethereum Whale Populations Quietly Growing, On-Chain Data Reveals Crypto trader Bull Theory has highlighted that in August 2025 alone, Ethereum Spot ETFs purchased $3.87 billion worth of ETH, driven almost entirely by professional investors chasing long-term exposure. Leading the charge is $11 trillion asset manager BlackRock, which allocated $3.38 billion worth of ETH and $707 million in Bitcoin, highlighting a clear preference for ETH over BTC. This wave of institutional buying pushed Ethereum to new all-time highs in August. Importantly, the majority of these purchases are intended for long-term holdings, reducing immediate sell pressure and supporting sustained price momentum. If ETH closes above $4,630, it will mark the highest monthly close since the 2021 bull run. Furthermore, Ethereum’s transaction volumes surged past $320 billion on-chain, reflecting broad engagement across decentralized finance, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. Meanwhile, staking continues to attract Wall Street attention, with nearly 36 million ETH, which is 29% of the total circulating supply, now locked in staking contracts. With 3% staking rewards, Ethereum provides institutional investors with a steady dividend, making it more appealing for long-term portfolios. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
Optimism is running high among supporters of XRP as Canary Capital CEO Steve McClurg claimed that the long-awaited XRP spot ETFs could see inflows of $5 billion in their first month. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullishness: Ark Invest Boss Scoops $16-M More In BitMine Stock His comments, shared during a Friday interview, highlighted his belief that the funds would even outperform Ethereum ETFs, which have so far struggled to attract money from institutional investors. Ethereum ETFs Struggle While XRP Builds Optimism Bitcoin’s debut in the ETF market brought in $1.5 billion in net inflows in January 2024, according to Sosovaliue data. By February 12, just one month later, the total had climbed to $3.30 billion. Ethereum’s numbers, however, told a different story. Reports disclosed that the Ethereum spot ETFs recorded an outflow of $480 million in July 2024 and then lost another $5.60 million one month later. ????Canary Capital CEO says $XRP ETF can do $5 BILLION in the first month and can outperform $ETH from pure financial services???????? FULL INTERVIEW????????https://t.co/s2BFB7F9mk#xrparmy #ripple #XRPCommunity #XRP pic.twitter.com/AqrgeSnjIz — Paul Barron Network (@paulbarrontv) August 29, 2025 A big reason was tied to money leaving the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE). Against this backdrop, McClurg argued that XRP’s position in the market gives it a stronger chance at instant success. He pointed out that after Bitcoin, XRP remains the most recognized token among Wall Street investors. According to him, this recognition, along with demand from its loyal community often called the “XRP Army,” will fuel immediate ETF adoption. Rising Odds Of An XRP ETF In 2025 Reports have shown increasing confidence that an XRP ETF will be approved this year. Analysts said odds for a launch in 2025 rose from 80% to 85%, a minor shift but still an upward one. McClurg agreed with this sentiment and mentioned that other cryptocurrencies such as Solana, Litecoin, and HBAR may also get ETF approval before the year ends. He added that XRP futures already being available adds weight to its chances of moving forward. Related Reading: A New Vision For Money: Hoskinson Predicts Bitcoin Will Hit $10 Trillion According to McClurg, XRP has an advantage over Ethereum from a pure financial services standpoint. Unlike Ethereum, which is built largely around smart contracts and decentralized apps, XRP is tied directly to payments and cross-border settlements. That use case, he suggested, makes it easier for Wall Street’s major players to understand and support, especially through regulated investment vehicles.

Financial writer Robert Kiyosaki urges investors to consider assets like Bitcoin, gold and silver to protect their savings. He argues that these traditional forms of money are better shields against what he calls “mounting financial risks.” Kiyosaki has issued a fresh warning that an economic turmoil could be on the horizon. He points to the US departure from the gold standard in 1971 as the seed of ongoing instability. Related Reading: Analyst Drops Dogecoin Bombshell: 174% Surge To $0.65 In Sight Bitcoin: Signs From Past Crises According to Kiyosaki, the Long‑Term Capital Management event in 1998 and the Wall Street crash in 2008 were early warnings. He says neither of those shocks caused the real problem—they merely hinted at deeper trouble. In his view, central banks patched holes by injecting cash, but they never fixed the underlying cracks. Those quick fixes run the risk of unravelling when debt levels get too high. In 1998 Wall Street got together and bailed out a hedge fund LTCM: Long Term Capital Management. In 2008 the Cental Banks got together to bail out Wall Street. In 2025, long time friend, Jim Rickards is asking who is going to bail out the Central Banks? In other words each… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) May 18, 2025 Central Bank Limits Exposed Based on reports, Kiyosaki believes that printing money can’t solve every financial headache. He warns that central banks may soon hit their limits. He points out that unlimited cash printing erodes trust in currency, making it hard for banks and governments to rely on the same old playbook. In his words, “You can’t borrow or print your way out of an endless pile of debt.” That debt, he says, is growing every day. Student Loans As Potential Trigger According to the warning, US student loan debt ranks high on his list of danger signs. He sees it as a ticking time bomb that could trigger serious credit shocks. He’s not alone: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that widespread defaults could unsettle credit markets. Economist James Rickards shares the view, arguing that mass non‑payments may shake the financial system more than commercial real estate or corporate bankruptcies. Growing Interest In Bitcoin And Precious Metals Based on his comments, more people are eyeing Bitcoin, gold and silver as lifeboats. He notes that Bitcoin’s capped supply gives it an edge over fiat money, which can be printed in endless batches. He contrasts a fixed 21 million‑coin limit with the unchecked growth of government debt. Gold and silver, with centuries of use as money, also win points because they can’t be created by a keyboard. Related Reading: XRP 100x Gains Coming? The Future Is Closer Than You Think—Analyst What Investors Should Watch Kiyosaki suggests keeping an eye on three key signs: rising debt levels, growing numbers of loan defaults, and continued currency printing. He adds that a shift toward alternative assets is a crowd signal—when more people start buying Bitcoin, trust in paper money falls. He reminds readers that no one can guarantee safety in cash; history has shown that hard assets often hold value when paper money weakens. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
Bitcoin’s price has surged some 25% since April 2, even as the big stock indexes declined. The digital currency broke through $104,000 by May 12. Traditional markets such as the S&P 500 were in the red simultaneously. Based on market data, Bitcoin’s resilience has stood out in the face of sell-offs and tariff negotiations. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Grip Loosens: Market Expert Says Dominance Has Hit Its Ceiling Bitcoin Outpaces Stocks According to reports, the S&P 500 declined almost 1% during April, but Bitcoin rose. Other financial markets experienced losses during the same weeks. Bitcoin’s increase was made while traders considered concerns over escalating tariffs. The world’s most sought-after crypto asset was seen by some as a means to avoid fees on foreign trade. However, there is no evidence that any country utilized crypto to avoid tariffs. Settlements Via Bitcoin Based on examination by crypto expert Daan Crypto Trades, there was speculation that countries could bring trade settlements to Bitcoin. The concept gained traction since BTC stood firm even when supply chains and markets were in trouble. $BTC Has outperformed stocks since “Liberation” / Tariff Day on the 2nd of April.

Regulators would catch any large cross-border payments made in crypto. There has not been a reported case of governments turning to Bitcoin in order to sidestep duties. Testing Key Resistance Levels According to chart analysis by Rose Premium Signals, Bitcoin is currently testing a crucial barrier at $105,000. If BTC breaks down there, it might retreat into the $100,000 zone. Some pattern observers claim an Inverse Head & Shoulders configuration could develop. ???? $BTC Market Update#Bitcoin is currently testing the Weekly Supply Zone around $105,000 ???? ????

(@VipRoseTr) May 11, 2025 That pattern requires two distinct shoulders and a lower trough in the middle. Currently, the swings have been unbalanced, muddying the image. A rejection might be followed by a brief period of altcoin accumulation before Bitcoin takes off again where it left off. Related Reading: New XRP Rally Incoming? Analyst Believes This Cycle Is Unique Long-Term Outlook Stable As per market observers, most investors will be looking to purchase dips if Bitcoin breaks resistance. They add that higher prices will put the limelight on pullbacks. Dips provided entry points during previous rallies. But Bitcoin’s extensive runs persist for several months, not days. Risks are still seen by traders: potential rate increases, regulations on crypto, and fresh tokens competing for attention. Meanwhile, increasing ETF flows and fortified wallets reassure others. Based on accounts of US–China trade negotiations, any agreement would reduce some tension. But there are drivers of Bitcoin’s price that are independent of global tariffs. Monetary actions, large investors, and sentiment drive big moves. If BTC continues to outrun stocks, it might solidify itself as an alternative in global markets. In the meantime, traders are waiting for the next direction at those important levels near $105,000. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Bitcoin this week reclaimed the $94,000 region, but the party may be lacking one key ingredient: real users. The cryptocurrency network is “like a ghost town” even with the record price increase, a crypto expert said. Related Reading: Ethereum ‘Heating Up’ – Address Activity Jumps Nearly 10% In 2 Days Bitcoin Surges In Price—Yet Network Remains Eerily Quiet A recent report by CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn shows a dramatic disconnect between Bitcoin’s rocketing price and its underlying network activity. “The Bitcoin network is a ghost town,” the analyst explained when comparing on-chain data to the coin’s current price. The study employs a 365-day moving average to record network activity from 2015. As years went by, activity and price followed one another. Around early 2025, though, they went different ways. Prices for bitcoin continued to rise even as growth in network activity dwindled and displayed more decreases than in the past.

According to Farside reports, Bitcoin ETFs witnessed a dramatic surge in money inflow from April 17. By April 21, investors had invested $381 million, and by April 23, it increased to $917 million as buying was still going on. This timing fits hand in glove with Bitcoin’s rise above $94,000 on April 23. The US Bitcoin ETFs have since inception raked in a whopping nearly $38 billion in net inflows, indicating how much big players in the financial market are transforming it. Related Reading: Cardano Set For 1,000% Explosion? Analyst Says ‘Just HODL’ On-Chain Data Indicates Decreasing User Activity Meanwhile, the statistics paint a clear picture of who is not behind the price: common users. Latest data indicates network activity decreased by 0.90% last week. The number of active addresses fell by 1.50% in that particular timeframe. Even more indicative, zero-balance addresses fell 12.50%, implying further wallets are remaining empty. Those figures create the image of a rally driven by forces beyond regular usage of the core network. Trump Meme Coin Briefly Steals The Spotlight In a surprise turn of events, some of the focus moved away from Bitcoin when US President Donald Trump’s staff released a statement saying that the holders of the largest amounts of the TRUMP meme coin would be invited to have dinner with the President. This created a rush to buy the meme coin. As interest in the TRUMP coin fizzled out, so too did interest in Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies. Some analysts noticed that this trend indicates the market still lacks sufficient buying pressure to have multiple hot trends simultaneously. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

Numerous market observers anticipated that this would result in an instantaneous surge in crypto prices. In contrast, the cryptocurrency’s value has declined since the announcement. Mitchnick elucidated this discrepancy by asserting that individuals anticipated early substantial outcomes from these market developments. Premature expectations regarding the speed at which these favorable factors would influence prices were present, he stated. The BlackRock executive proposed that the market requires additional time to completely respond to these developments. BlackRock Continues Push For Institutional Bitcoin Investment Even as Bitcoin prices fluctuate, BlackRock has been exerting significant effort to encourage additional financial institutions and wealth managers to invest in its product. Mitchnick asserts that these endeavors are yielding results. Major financial institutions, such as Barclays, JPMorgan, and Avenir Group, now possess substantial quantities of BlackRock’s iShares BTC Trust (IBIT), which monitors Bitcoin’s price, according to recent filings. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buying Race?

His analysis indicates that Bitcoin’s fundamental characteristics should cause it to move in opposition to market risks, akin to gold. Meanwhile, Mitchnick disclosed that Bitcoin may actually benefit from a recession. He enumerated a number of economic downturns that are well-suited to Bitcoin’s characteristics, including increased government expenditure, reduced interest rates, stimulus money, and concerns regarding social stability.

Ryan turned down an opportunity to help led the Ethereum Foundation and instead joined Etherealize, an organization focused on bringing Ethereum to Wall Street.
In a dramatic shift, hedge funds appear to be ramping up short positions in Ethereum at a rate not seen before, sparking questions on whether the second‐largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization could be facing troubled waters—or if something else is at play. According to renowned analysts from the Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter), short positioning in Ethereum “is now up +40% in ONE WEEK and +500% since November 2024.” Their findings, shared on X, argue that “never in history have Wall Street hedge funds been so short of Ethereum, and it’s not even close,” prompting the question: “What do hedge funds know is coming?” Massive Ethereum Short Squeeze Coming? The Kobeissi Letter’s thread highlights an extreme divergence between Ethereum’s price action and futures positioning among hedge funds. They point to an especially volatile period on February 2, when Ethereum plunged by 37% in just 60 hours as trade war headlines emerged, wiping out more than a trillion dollars from the crypto market “in HOURS.” Related Reading: Ethereum Stuck Below $2,800 Resistance – Bulls Need A Higher Low To Recover The analysts note how ETH inflows were robust during December 2024—even as hedge funds were reportedly boosting short exposure. According to the Kobeissi Letter: “In just 3 weeks, ETH saw +$2 billion of new funds with a record breaking weekly inflow of +$854 million. However, hedge funds are betting ETH’s surge and limiting breakouts.” They also underscore spikes in Ethereum trading volume, particularly on January 21 (Inauguration Day) and around the February 3 crash. Despite the historically high inflows, Ethereum’s price has “failed to recover the gap lower even as one week has passed,” and currently trades “~45% below its record high set in November 2021.” One of the biggest unknowns remains why hedge funds are so dedicated to shorting ETH. The analysts write: “Potential reasons range from market manipulation, to harmless crypto hedges, to bearish outlook on Ethereum itself. However, this is rather strange as the Trump Administration and new regulators have favored ETH. Largely due to this extreme positioning, Ethereum has significantly underperformed Bitcoin.” Related Reading: Ethereum Trades Inside A Multi-Year Bullish Pennant – Analyst Sees A Breakout Above $4K The Kobeissi Letter concludes its thread by drawing attention to Bitcoin’s outperformance and poses the question of whether a short squeeze could be in the making: Could Ethereum be setting up for a short squeeze? This extreme positioning means big swings like the one on February 3rd will be more common. Since the start of 2024, Bitcoin is up ~12 TIMES as much as Ethereum. Is a short squeeze set to close this gap?” Glassnode’s CryptoVizArt Fires Back Not everyone in the crypto analytics sphere is convinced that the tidal wave of Ethereum short positions signals a bearish outlook. Senior researcher at Glassnode, CryptoVizArt.₿ (@CryptoVizArt), took to X to challenge the alarmist takes circulating on social media: “Barchart is screaming, ‘Largest ETH short in history!’ and crypto Twitter is running around like headless chickens. Seriously, if you fell for this clickbait headline, it’s time to up your game. Let’s set the record straight.” In a detailed thread, CryptoVizArt points out that the widely shared chart on hedge fund short positions likely represents only one subset of the market (e.g., “Leveraged Funds / Hedge Funds/CTAs”) and does not account for other significant market participants such as asset managers, non‐reportable traders, and on‐chain holders. They add that similar “massive shorts” were seen in Bitcoin futures as well, yet BTC outperformed ETH during the same period. Furthermore, CryptoVizArt emphasizes that CME Ether futures are just one sliver of global crypto derivatives. Liquidity on platforms like Binance, Bybit, OKX, as well as on‐chain positions and spot markets, offer a broader view than any one exchange’s data might suggest. “One group’s net short ≠ the entire market is net short. Hedge positions ≠ purely bearish bets.” Their final note: much of the positioning could be part of “non‐directional strategies—such as cash‐and‐carry,” which are neutral strategies used to lock in arbitrage gains and are not simply a direct bet against ETH. At press time, ETH traded at $2,629. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
Vivek Raman, the founder of Etherealize, spent 10 years on Wall Street. Now he's trying to market Ethereum to big banks.
From MicroStrategy splitting its stock to major banks acquiring crypto firms, bitcoin is about to enter its “Wall Street” era.
Bitwise has predicted that in 2025, Bitcoin could hit $500,000, Coinbase will enter the S&P 500 and AI agents will drive the next “memecoin mania.”
Wealth management clients of Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley in the third quarter continued to modestly accumulate (or trade) bitcoin via the spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
The Wall Street Cheat Sheet has been around for years now and is often passed around in finance circles, so Bitcoin has not been left out. The cheat sheet shows different stages of each market cycle, using sentiment to track where in the cycle a particular asset is. With the Bitcoin market seeming to be stuck in limbo, a crypto analyst has applied the information from the Wall Street Cheat Sheet in an effort to show where we are in the bull cycle. Bitcoin Cycle Moves Into Belief The different stages of the Wall Street Cheat Sheet represents different sentiment in the market and it could help to predict where the Bitcoin price is headed next. According to the crypto analyst Mags who has over 89,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), the Bitcoin market has currently entered the ‘Belief’ stage. Related Reading: 72% Of ETHUSDT Traders On Binance Go Long – Is This The Buy Signal You Need? Belief is the stage that comes after Optimism, which the crypto analyst puts at around the time the Bitcoin price hit its $73,000 all-time high earlier in the year. The drawdown was expected, leading to this next stage, which is now Belief. What this means for the Bitcoin price is that there could be a continuation of the bull rally. This is because with Belief comes more confidence in the market, and as investors take more bets, the BTC price will rise as a result from here. Basically, the crypto analyst’s post suggests that the Bitcoin bull market is far from over. If the Wall Street Cheat Sheet is anything to go by, then the BTC bull run could only be in its beginning stages with a long way to go as Belief drives its price toward $90,000. BTC Price Could Touch $300,000 Using the Wall Street Cheat Sheet shows that Belief is far from the top of the Bitcoin bull cycle. If anything, it is the confirmation of the ongoing bull market. The next stage is the ‘Thrill’ where investors are making a lot of money from their trades. At this point, more money is flowing into the market to sustain the rally. Related Reading: ‘FLOKI Master Plan’: Crypto Analyst Predicts 2,000% Jump For The Shiba Inu Competitor The last stage of any Bitcoin bull cycle according to the Wall Street Cheat Sheet is the ‘Euphoria’ stage. This is when investor are completely on board with the Bitcoin bull market and is a time of peak bullish sentiment. At this stage, the analyst’s chart suggests that the BTC price could touch as high as $300,000. However, this stage often marks the top of the market and the euphoria will often not allow investors to realize that the run is over. Once this stage is completed, the Bitcoin price could turn really quickly and lose over 50% of its value as it has done in the past. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
