A key level to monitor for potential bitcoin support is the U.S. ETF cost basis. This metric represents the average entry price of bitcoin held by spot ETFs and is calculated by combining daily ETF inflows with bitcoin’s price at the time of each deposit to form a running average.

The aggregate cost basis for U.S. bitcoin ETFs currently sits near $83,000, according to Glassnode data, a level that bitcoin has rebounded from during the previous lows on Nov. 21 and Dec. 1.

Among BTC ETFs, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) suffered $230.1 million in redemptions. Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) posted notable outflows of $44.3 million and $34.3 million, respectively. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) reported no net flows on the day, according to data from Farside.

In contrast, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) accounted for the majority of redemptions from ETH ETFs, at $139.1 million.

This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026

This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026

The post This Altcoin Could 1000x By 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The SEC has approved a framework for the streamlined adoption of digital asset products in the United States on Wednesday, allowing exchanges to list and trade commodity-based trust shares without requiring a rule change to be filed first. This marks a significant milestone, opening the door for a surge in spot altcoin ETFs in the coming months. As a result, anticipation is building around institutional liquidity flows to the altcoin market – but which projects could perform the best?  Many analysts are betting on Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) as a potential 1000x opportunity. It has not yet launched on exchanges, so it’s not immediately eligible for a spot ETF like some of the larger altcoins. That said, its use case positions it at the forefront of blockchain innovation, which signals huge potential for price gains as institutional capital rotates through the altcoin market. The project is developing the world’s first ZK-rollup-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain, addressing Bitcoin’s key issues of slow speeds and limited functionality while maintaining its renowned characteristics of security and immutability. SEC Approves Generic ETF Listing Standards The SEC has approved a proposed 19b-4 rule change from Cboe’s BZX exchange, Nasdaq, and NYSE Arca to standardize listing requirements for crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) and streamline the process for public trading. According to Bloomberg ETF expert James Seyffart, this move paves the way for a “wave of spot crypto ETP launches in the coming weeks and months.” WOW. The SEC has approved Generic Listing Standards for “Commodity Based Trust Shares” aka includes crypto ETPs. This is the crypto ETP framework we’ve been waiting for.
