The outflows reflect short-term price movements, not lower institutional demand or structural issues in the Bitcoin market, analysts said. The record outflows from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) represent short-term, “tactical” rebalancing rather than institutional flight from BTC, according to analysts at crypto exchange Bitfinex. Long-term Bitcoin (BTC) holders taking profit and selling their coins, and highly-leveraged positions flushing out of the markets, are the root causes of the billions of dollars in ETF outflows and the broader market crash, Bitfinex analysts said. The uncertainty of a December interest rate cut has also shifted investors to a risk-off outlook, Bitfinex said. Read more -

Growing unrealized losses and falling NAV levels are threatening corporate crypto treasuries, making it difficult to raise capital for future digital asset investments. Cryptocurrency markets continued their decline for a fourth consecutive week this week, raising concerns over the status of the bull market cycle. Investor concerns grew on Thursday after a 10X Research report revealed that BitMine Immersion Technologies, the world’s largest corporate Ether (ETH) holder, is sitting on a cumulative unrealized loss of $3.7 billion on its total holdings. Most digital asset treasuries (DATs) have suffered declines in their net asset value (NAV), making it difficult to raise funds for new investments or to attract new retail investors, leaving existing shareholders “trapped” with growing paper losses, according to 10x Research founder Markus Thiele Read more -

Bitcoin’s abrupt drop to $80,000 shocked traders, but back-tested data on 105 indicators suggests the market washout is preparing BTC for a longer-term rally to new highs. Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $80,600 on Friday, extending weekly losses to more than 10%. Its monthly drawdown has now reached 23%, the steepest decline since June 2022. The drop below $84,000 also pushed BTC to test the 100-week exponential moving average for the first time since October 2023, aligning exactly with the start of the current bull cycle. Bitcoin futures liquidations surpassed $1 billion, underscoring the severity of this downturn, described by the Kobeissi Letter as the “fastest bear market ever.” Key takeaways: Read more -

The crypto treasury company plans to stake its ETH holdings to generate revenue, but is already down well over $1,000 on each ETH it holds. BitMine, a crypto treasury company that accumulates Ether (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), said on Friday it plans to launch the “Made in America Validator Network” (MAVAN) to stake its ETH holdings. The company is piloting MAVAN with three staking infrastructure providers, ahead of the launch slated for the first quarter of 2026, according to an announcement from BitMine. Staking tokens to validate proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains secures networks and generates revenue in the form of staking rewards paid out in the native token of the blockchain network, in this case, ETH.

Bitcoin's price dips below $90,000, yet Republic and Kraken ink nine-figure deals. If this is a bear market, someone forgot to tell big money. As Bitcoin (BTC) plunged below $90,000 this week, igniting fresh fears that the bull market may be over, hundreds of millions of dollars continued to flow into crypto companies, signaling that institutional appetite for the sector remains strong. Republic Technologies became the latest company to add Ether (ETH) to its treasury, securing $100 million in financing under unusually favorable terms for the industry. The deal was structured as a zero-interest convertible note, meaning Republic neither pays interest nor risks defaulting for missed payments — a rare setup in the crypto financing landscape. “Republic’s raise, while unique, probably won’t spark off a new normal for how funds are raised in the crypto industry, though it is a sign of a maturing market that new forms of money raising are being seen, and that is the trend that is likely to continue,” Komodo chief t... -

US authorities are investigating Chinese Bitcoin mining hardware giant Bitmain over potential national security risks tied to alleged remote capabilities, according to Bloomberg. The leading Bitcoin mining application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) manufacturer, Bitmain, which is based in China, is reportedly under investigation in the US over national security concerns. According to a Friday Bloomberg report, an unspecified US official and six other anonymous people familiar with the matter said that Bitmain’s hardware is at the center of a federal investigation known as “Operation Red Sunset.” The investigation, led by the US Department of Homeland Security, reportedly seeks to determine whether the ASICs could be remotely controlled for spying or to sabotage the US power grid. US authorities previously investigated Bitmain-linked Chinese chip designer Xiamen Sophgo over an alleged business relationship with US-sanctioned company Huawei in October 2024. This was followed by the US Customs and Border Pro... -

Japan’s stimulus package has shaken global markets, including Bitcoin, while the UK cracks down on Russian money laundering and sanctions evasion with crypto. On Friday, the Japanese government approved a $135-billion (21.3 trillion Japanese yen) stimulus package, mainly aimed at price relief and subsidizing gas and household electricity bills. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her cabinet believe the plan will dampen inflation by 0.7 percentage points on average from February to April. But markets, including crypto markets, are concerned. The yen has significantly weakened against the US dollar, hitting 10-month lows; Japanese government 10-year bond yields reached 1.84% on Thursday, the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. Major government spending like this stimulus package is likely to lead to the issuance of more bonds, further weakening the yen, which would prompt the Bank of Japan to intervene with rate hikes. That could trigger mass sell-offs in the US. Read more -

With short-term holders driving Bitcoin’s sell-off, realized losses are hitting historic levels, leaving investors to wonder where the bottom might be. Bitcoin has taken a slide back to its April level of around $83,000, with mounting selling pressure prompting many investors to sell at a loss, reminiscent of major historic market crashes. Realized losses on Bitcoin (BTC) have surged to levels not seen since the 2022 FTX collapse, according to blockchain data platform Glassnode. “The scale and speed of these losses reflect a meaningful washout of marginal demand as recent buyers unwind into the drawdown,” Glassnode noted in an X post on Friday.

SOL and XRP ETFs have attracted nearly $900 million in combined inflows, highlighting rare investor conviction amid an ongoing market rout. While spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are facing some of the biggest daily outflows since they launch, two new altcoin products are bucking the trend. Despite the broader market rout, Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP) ETFs have yet to record a single outflow day since launch, according to crypto ETF data aggregator SoSoValue. This makes the two altcoin ETFs rare green marks in an otherwise red ETF landscape. The inflows are becoming substantial. Data shows that Solana-based spot ETFs have accumulated nearly $500 million in net inflows, while XRP ETFs have seen $410 million in cumulative net inflows to date. Read more -

As pension funds evaluate Bitcoin’s scarcity, resilience and inflation behavior, a core question emerges: Can BTC become a true institutional store of value? Gold has long met store-of-value standards, while fiat currencies lose purchasing power over time. Bitcoin now meets several of the same store-of-value benchmarks. With a hard cap of 21 million coins and around-the-clock global trading, Bitcoin offers digital scarcity, durability supported by network security and liquidity that rivals many traditional assets. Concerns remain, including short-term volatility, inconsistent global regulations, cybersecurity risks, limited historical data and challenges integrating Bitcoin into traditional investment models.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are betting on privacy protocols gaining major traction as AI continues to grow at an exponential rate. The year 2025 will go down as the year of digital asset treasury companies. Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Tom Lee’s Bitmine have forged ahead with Bitcoin and Ethereum-based strategies, while a handful of alternative DATs have grabbed headlines. Zcash (ZEC), the privacy protocol born out of a hard fork of the Bitcoin codebase in 2016, has been one of the big winners in 2025. Prominent industry advocates have been touting the importance of privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies, and Zcash has been the outright winner in terms of percentage price gains. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the ecosystem welcomed a Zcash DAT, and the Winklevoss twins beat competitors to the mark. Read more -

While aPriori dismissed the claims related to insider activity, investors are still awaiting more details on the Sybil cluster that claimed 60% of the airdrop across 14,000 wallets. Web3 startup aPriori said Friday that suspicious activity tied to its recent airdrop was not connected to its team, following investor concerns that a single entity claimed an outsized portion of the token distribution. A mysterious entity claimed about 60% of the recent aPriori (APR) token airdrop across 14,000 interconnected cryptocurrency wallets, according to blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps. The pattern resembles a Sybil-style farming operation, where one actor uses multiple wallets to maximize rewards. APriori lowered eligibility requirements for its Monad Mainnet airdrop in an effort to reward “genuine users,” but said Friday it found “no evidence that anyone on the contributing team or from the foundation has claimed the airdrop.” Read more -

Both memecoins and NFTs have plunged to their weakest levels since early 2025, with traders pulling back from speculative assets across the board. Memecoins plunged to their lowest valuation in 2025 on Friday, dropping to a combined market capitalization of $39.4 billion, according to data aggregator CoinMarketCap.
