BTC ETFs saw $226.2 million in net outflows in a single day yesterday as bitcoin struggles to rise in price. The outflows from the regulated financial products are reminiscent of what occurred at the end of April, as $1.2 billion moved out of BTC ETFs. Presently, the ETFs have seen net withdrawals amounting to $564 million over the past three days despite Wednesday observing inflows. The net outflows in the following days can possibly match April’s six-day outflows of over a billion....

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Gary Gensler spoke in a Senate Appropriations Committee meeting on June 13, addressing the state of ETH ETFs. Tennessee Senator Bill Haggerty questioned Gensler about why the SEC had not approved the ETFs yet and accused the agency of not adopting a “constructive set of rules of the road for the crypto industry.” Gensler said that the ETFs were coming “sometime over the course of this summer,” implying the approvals of the S-1 filings will occur...

With BTC ETFs receiving approval in January and ETH ETFs on the verge of receiving the green light from the US SEC, many are speculating about other altcoin ETFs, specifically SOL ETFs. SOL ETFs can be a thing if Trump becomes US President. The SEC has been unfavorable toward crypto but had to approve the issuance of BTC ETFs, which it denied until a judge ruled that it had no reason not to. Thus came the first crypto ETF in the US. Surprisingly, the SEC is in the process of approving ETH...

In a surprising turn of events on May 21, the SEC requested exchanges like NASDAQ, NYSE, and CBOE to fine-tune their application filings for ETH ETFs. Now, Gary Gensler’s comments state that final approvals may be very close. With BTC ETFs approved a little over five months earlier, the crypto industry rejoiced when the SEC asked for ETH ETF filings and approved it on May 23. This first step in greenlighting the ETFs required exchanges to submit their 19b-4 filings to the agency. The next...

Bitcoin’s price is still fluctuating around the $71,000 mark, and it is unable to break through its all-time high (ATH) of $73,738 set a couple of months ago. It rose to the current level a few days ago, before which it exchanged hands at less than $70,000. The price action has been slow despite a nineteen-day streak of growing BTC ETF inflows. Onlookers are wondering why bitcoin is not going past its recently set ATH despite raging ETF interest. Spot BTC ETFs in the US and elsewhere...

BTC ETFs observed the largest single-day inflows since March today, marking the second highest inflows into the US-approved products since they launched in January this year. An estimated $880 million flowed into the ETFs, with Fidelity Investment’s FBTC ETF alone registering $378 million in inflows. Simultaneously, BTC’s price surged past the $71,000 mark for the first time in about two weeks and fluctuated over $71,500. While the asset’s price has set records this year, the past two months...

Vitalik Buterin – the man behind Ethereum, the world’s second largest digital currency by market cap and the number one competitor to BTC – has announced that he doesn’t think right now is the best time for a crypto-based ETF (exchange-traded fund). Vitalik Buterin: It’s Not the Time for a Crypto ETF To be fair, such a product already exists. It was introduced by Pro Shares during autumn of last year, and it stirred heavy controversy by being based on futures technology rather than actual...
