The Bitcoin CME gaps appear when futures reopen after weekend moves. Understand why they form, how often they fill and what they mean for BTC’s price action. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap appears when the price of Bitcoin (BTC) changes between Friday’s closing price and Monday’s opening price on the CME Bitcoin futures market. Price movement over the weekend, when no CME trading takes place, creates a disconnect on the chart. These gaps often draw attention because they tend to be filled once the market reopens. Let’s look at an example. If BTC closes at $109,880 on the CME on Friday evening and the price rallies over the weekend, the market might reopen on Monday at $110,380. That creates a $500 gap.

VanEck’s amended BNB ETF filing scraps all staking plans, unlike its Solana product, explicitly distancing itself from BNB staking amid regulatory risk. Asset manager VanEck backed away from its earlier plans to stake assets in its proposed spot BNB exchange-traded fund, despite offering staking in its recently launched Solana product. In its updated S-1 filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday, VanEck said “the Trust will not employ its BNB in Staking Activities and accordingly will not earn any form of staking rewards or income of any kind from Staking Activities” at the time of listing. The filing further warns that “there can be no assurance that the Trust will engage in any Staking Activities” in the future, either. The company acknowledged that avoiding staking could cause the ETF’s performance to lag that of holding BNB (BNB) directly, noting that investors would forgo potential staking rewards. Read more -

Solana ETFs have pulled in $369 million so far this month as investors appear to favor yield-bearing products, while Bitcoin and Ether ETFs faced billions in redemptions. Despite steep redemptions from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, Solana attracted $369 million of inflows this month as investors increasingly positioned SOL as a yield-generating asset. According to Bohdan Opryshko, co-founder and chief operating officer of Everstake, both institutions and retail holders are “treating Solana as a yield-generating asset rather than a speculative trade.” He told Cointelegraph that Solana’s native staking rewards of 5%–7% have created an appeal that Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs cannot match, and only a limited set of Ethereum products currently offer.

The Pump.fun co-founder disputed claims of a massive off-ramp and said Pump.fun’s USDC shifts were routine treasury operations. Pseudonymous Pump.fun co-founder Sapijiju rejected claims that the project cashed out more than $436 million in stablecoins, calling the allegations “complete misinformation” from the blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain. In an X post, Sapijiju addressed the report, insisting that none of the transferred funds were sold. He said the USDC originated from the PUMP token’s initial coin offering (ICO) and was simply redistributed to internal wallets as part of the company’s treasury management process. “What’s happening is a part of Pump’s treasury management, where USDC from the $PUMP ICO has been transferred into different wallets so the company’s runway can be reinvested into the business,” Sapijiju. “Pump has never directly worked with Circle.” Read more -
