Year-to-date, Bitcoin trades at a 15% loss and remains nearly 45% down from its $126,267 all-time high, raising investor concerns that BTC’s cyclical bull market may have reached an end.   Rocky price action in US stock markets is an alleged driver of the selling across the crypto market.

The NYSE-listed BTYB allocates most of its assets to US Treasurys while using options strategies to provide weekly income and Bitcoin-linked exposure. VistaShares has launched BTYB, an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) listed on the New York Stock Exchange that allocates most of its assets to US Treasurys while using options strategies to provide weekly income and Bitcoin-linked price exposure. According to the Tuesday announcement, the fund allocates about 80% of its portfolio to US Treasury securities and related instruments, with the remaining 20% tied to Bitcoin (BTC) price movements through a synthetic covered call strategy. Holdings data shows the fund’s Bitcoin-linked exposure comes from call options on BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). In this particular context, a synthetic covered call strategy uses derivatives to create Bitcoin price exposure and sells call (buy) options against that exposure to generate income, rather than holding Bitcoin directly. As a result, BTYB does not trac...

Xapo Bank’s Digital Wealth Report says borrowers are keeping Bitcoin-backed loans open longer during the product’s first year of activity. Bitcoin-backed borrowing at the Gibraltar-based Xapo Bank is increasingly being used for long-term financial planning rather than short-term liquidity, according to the bank’s 2025 Digital Wealth Report. Shared with Cointelegraph, the report says 52% of the Bitcoin-backed loans issued by Xapo in 2025 carried a 365-day term, with many of those loans remaining open even as new loan creation slowed later in the year. The bank, which primarily caters to high-net-worth individuals and private clients, said the trend reflects members using Bitcoin as collateral to unlock liquidity while preserving long-term exposure, rather than tapping loans for temporary cash needs.
