As such, a pair of integral characters to the plot of Superman are featured in not only the Season 1 recap ahead of Peacemaker Season 2, but also alongside another Superman cast member early in the first episode. ForbesWhat Time Does James Gunn’s ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Begin Streaming?By Tim Lammers “We had to address the elephant in the room, which was the fact that last season ended with Peacemaker telling the Justice League to F off, but that is not the reality that he lives in,” Gunn said in a recent Zoom conversation. “That’s really the one thing from Season 1 that doesn’t exist and so, we needed to answer that in this season and that’s what we did.” Picking up not long after the events of Superman, Peacemaker Season 2 finds his former Black Ops team at A.R.G.U.S. in ruins.

Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility

Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Market Analysis: Navigating New Highs and Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Terrill Dicki Aug 19, 2025 08:05 Bitcoin’s price surges to $121K amid improved on-chain activity and derivatives sentiment, but declining spot volumes and profitability raise caution. Explore key BTC market signals for insights. Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a significant rebound in the past week, climbing from a low of $114,000 to $121,000. This recovery was marked by improved on-chain activity and positive sentiment in the derivatives market, according to Glassnode’s latest analysis. Despite this upward momentum, declining spot volumes and high profitability levels suggest a need for caution among investors. Spot and Futures Market Dynamics The spot market observed Bitcoin’s price hitting an all-time high of over $123,000 before pulling back towards $114,000, creating a volatile “air gap.” While trading volumes initially recovered, they were dominated by sellers, signaling a cooling momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also softened, indicating potential market fatigue. In the futures market, open interest surpassed statistical norms, leading to a wave of deleveraging. Despite this, traders continue to pay premiums for long positions, although with diminished confidence. The perpetual contract cumulative volume delta (CVD) reflects this trend, with increased sell-side pressure hinting at elevated risk. Options and ETF Market Movements Options markets have seen a surge in activity, with open interest reaching new highs and volatility spreads widening, indicating increased hedging and speculative actions. The 25-delta skew remains positive, suggesting ongoing demand for downside protection. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have witnessed robust inflows, with more than $880 million entering the market weekly. This influx underscores resilient institutional interest, but the sustainability of these flows remains uncertain amid ongoing price fluctuations. On-Chain Indicators and Profitability While on-chain user activity and fee volumes have softened, the entity-adjusted transfer volume has spiked, pointing to significant capital movements likely driven by volatility.…

Stablecoins Could Boost U.S. Payment System Efficiency

Stablecoins Could Boost U.S. Payment System Efficiency

The post Stablecoins Could Boost U.S. Payment System Efficiency appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stablecoins have become the new focus of attention by the Federal Reserve, major U.S. banks, and China. It indicates that they have gained substantial popularity in the global finance discussions. Fed Recognizes the Efficiency of Stablecoins and Impact of GENIUS Act The minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) latest meeting of the Federal Reserve have shown that the stablecoins have become a part of a formal policy discourse. Participants also analyzed the current developments regarding payment stablecoins and what it means to the financial system. The comments highlighted that these coins could improve the efficiency of payments while also creating new dynamics for Treasury markets and banking regulation. The FOMC minutes underscored the Fed’s priority on fighting inflation and addressed the growing role of payment stablecoins. Participants said stablecoins could streamline transactions and reduce friction in the broader payment infrastructure. Fed Warns of Stablecoins Threats to Treasury Markets and Banking Besides the positives, members also raised certain concerns. As noticed by members, stablecoins can hugely boosting assets that strengthen their value, especially U.S. Treasury securities. Other respondents emphasized that there’s need to pay increasing attention to the role they play when it comes to systemic risks. The minutes also raised concerns over the possible effects of these coins on the banking industry and financial stability. Maturity mismatches, roll-over risk, management of these coins’ reserves are some issues that continue to dominate debates. This is one of the most direct recognitions of this digital asset category by Fed to date. The recent discussions of payment stablecoins in the FOMC is an indication of their increasing significance to the U.S. financial system. For crypto markets, the recognition represents another step toward institutional integration of blockchain-based money. Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, drew attention to the development on social media.…

Is The Bitcoin Treasury Bubble Popping? Expert Answers

Is The Bitcoin Treasury Bubble Popping? Expert Answers

In a thread on August 19, analyst Miles Deutscher argued that MicroStrategy’s market-implied net asset value (mNAV) premium—the core gear in Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin acquisition flywheel—has compressed sharply, weakening the feedback loop that helped the company outpace Bitcoin through most of the cycle. “Michael Saylor built the craziest BTC flywheel in history. But his buying power is starting to fade. The market is now asking one question: ‘Is the BTC treasury bubble finally popping?’” MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Premium Is Fading Deutscher grounds the discussion in how investors currently value MicroStrategy. “People often overlook that MicroStrategy has a legacy software business, which continues to generate revenue. However, MicroStrategy has essentially become a company whose valuation is primarily influenced by its BTC holdings. The entire system is powered by mNAV (Market-Implied NAV).” In practical terms, the mNAV multiple is the premium investors pay over the company’s look-through Bitcoin value to access leveraged BTC exposure via MSTR. “An mNAV of ~1.58x means the market is paying a 58% premium for their BTC.” According to Deutscher, that premium “was once a 3.4x mNAV” when Bitcoin was surging, but it has “now decreased to 1.58x. Demand is slowing down.” In other words, what had been a powerful flywheel—high premium enabling cheap equity issuance that funded more Bitcoin purchases, which in turn kept NAV rising and the premium elevated—now spins with much less torque. Related Reading: Crypto Founder Predicts The Collapse Of Bitcoin In This Timeframe That shift intersected with a contentious corporate action. “Recently, Saylor sparked controversy by revealing that Strategy had revised its MSTR Equity ATM Guidance to offer greater ‘flexibility’ in executing its capital markets strategy.” The implication, Deutscher argues, is that greater issuance flexibility “may dilute shareholder value and increase financial risk tied to Bitcoin’s volatility.” He notes that “the market is quite divided” on the change. On the constructive side, he quotes @thedefivillain’s take—“Slower concentration of supply in Saylor’s hands,” “Greater leverage to justify mNAV,” and “Reduced buying pressure for BTC in dollar terms”—as reasons the revision could ultimately be benign. But critics worry about “the possibility of a ‘death spiral.’ The removal of the 2.5x mNAV safeguard for equity issuance may allow MicroStrategy to sell shares at lower valuations.” Reflexivity, in Deutscher’s telling, is the operative risk factor: “Reflexivity is a brutal force that operates in both directions.” A Hypothetical Scenario Deutscher then sets up a stress-test to illustrate how that reflexivity could bite if Bitcoin weakens and the premium compresses to parity. “If BTC’s price drops 20% and MicroStrategy’s mNAV multiple falls to 1.0x, the stock might plummet by 46.5%.” He walks through the arithmetic from a notional baseline of $115,000 per BTC, which on a 20% decline would fall to $92,000. On MicroStrategy’s “226,331 BTC,” he calculates that would put look-through NAV at $20.82 billion. To align an mNAV of exactly 1.0x, he backs into enterprise value and market cap under that scenario: “Starting with an enterprise value of $20.82 billion, we subtract MicroStrategy’s $2.2 billion in debt and add its $0.1 billion in cash. This calculation unveils the company’s market cap, hitting $18.72 billion, a significant pullback from its original $35 billion market cap.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run Hinges On Trump’s Pick For Fed Chair: Analyst The conclusion he draws from the modeled path—BTC −20% to ~$92,000, mNAV → 1.0x, MSTR market cap −46.5%—is that MicroStrategy’s equity remains a leveraged instrument with an outcome path that can be materially worse than Bitcoin itself when the premium compresses. Beyond the scenario math, Deutscher links recent spot price action to changing marginal demand. “I think BTC’s recent weakness can be attributed to the market starting to price in reduced Saylor demand/tail potential risk of the revised ATM guidance.” In parallel, he highlights how the proliferation of spot ETFs erodes the original rationale for paying a large listed-company premium to own BTC “beta”: “Spot Bitcoin ETFs are plentiful now. Why would you pay a 58% premium for MSTR’s leveraged exposure when you can grab IBIT at a clean ~1.0x NAV?” By his framing, the mNAV premium itself “was indicative of the market’s view that MSTR was going to outperform BTC.” With that view fading, the premium looks less like an enduring structural feature and more like a belief-sensitive variable. “In my opinion, the MSTR premium is essentially a gamble. You’re betting on three fragile things: unwavering market confidence, open capital markets, and Saylor’s leadership. If any of those pillars start to wobble, the premium collapses.” At press time, BTC traded at $113,624. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto Funds Bleed With Nearly $1B Outflows in BTC and ETH

Crypto Funds Bleed With Nearly $1B Outflows in BTC and ETH

The post Crypto Funds Bleed With Nearly $1B Outflows in BTC and ETH appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency investment products expanded their losses on Tuesday, with Bitcoin fund outflows surging more than 300% and Ether losses doubling, both ranking as the second-largest outflows this month. Spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw $523 million in outflows on Tuesday, rising more than fourfold from Monday, according to Farside Investors data. Ether (ETH) ETFs also recorded major losses, with outflows doubling from $200 million on Monday to $422 million. Bitcoin and Ether funds have posted three consecutive days of outflows totaling $1.3 billion, coinciding with sharp price corrections of 8.3% and 10.8%, respectively, since last Wednesday, according to CoinGecko. Fidelity leads outflows with over $400 million Fidelity Investments led yesterday’s losses with outflows of $247 million from its Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and $156 million from the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH), totaling $403 million in daily withdrawals.

Fear & Greed Index slips to “Fear” Although the three-day outflows pale in comparison to the record-breaking inflows for both Bitcoin and Ether funds in 2025, the losses signal a notable shift in investor sentiment amid declining prices. On Wednesday, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index — a tool tracking the overall sentiment of the crypto market — flipped to “Fear,” registering a score of 44. This change followed a prolonged period of optimism, indicating growing caution among investors.

Bitcoin Sluggish Demand Blamed for $10K Plunge In a Week

Bitcoin Sluggish Demand Blamed for $10K Plunge In a Week

The post Bitcoin Sluggish Demand Blamed for $10K Plunge In a Week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After hitting a new all-time high just last Thursday, Bitcoin’s price has plummeted by over $10,000 in a week. A new analysis suggests the sharp correction stems from a key factor: a slowdown in demand across the Bitcoin market. Bitcoin Demand Slowing Down Julio Moreno, head of research at on-chain platform CryptoQuant, shared this view in an X post on Wednesday. He stated, “Bitcoin’s overall demand growth slowdown, including purchases from ETFs and Strategy, is behind the current price pause/correction.” Bitcoin’s price had briefly bottomed out on August 1st, when concerns about a recession flared up after a weak US non-farm payrolls report. That same day, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $812 million in net outflows, according to Soso Value data.  Daily Net Inflows/Outflows of U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Source: SoSo Value However, from August 6, when the price rally began, the ETFs recorded seven consecutive days of net inflows. This trend reversed last Thursday with the July Producer Price Index’s release, returning to net outflows. The outflow volume wasn’t very large, yet Bitcoin’s price dropped sharply in comparison. Moreno explained that on-chain demand metrics mirror this exact pattern. He argues that this correction isn’t due to the sudden actions of a single entity like an ETF or MicroStrategy, but rather a widespread decline in demand among most market participants. For example, CryptoQuant’s Apparent Demand metric showed a reading of 147.3703K on August 1, a similar price level. However, on August 20, the same metric had nearly halved to 64.787K.  Bitcoin: Apparent Demand & Bitcoin: Demand Growth. Source: CryptoQuant While Bitcoin’s price surged and then returned to its starting point over the past 15 days, market demand essentially dropped by half. This suggests that if market sentiment doesn’t recover, Bitcoin could face further corrections. The market likely needs a macroeconomic…

Ether Tops Bitcoin in Spot Trading for First Time Since 2017, Report Says

Ether Tops Bitcoin in Spot Trading for First Time Since 2017, Report Says

The post Ether Tops Bitcoin in Spot Trading for First Time Since 2017, Report Says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. ETH is capturing 32% of spot exchange volumes as traders rotate out of BTC, per data from CEXIO Ethereum (ETH) has overtaken Bitcoin (BTC) in spot market trading volumes on major centralized exchanges (CEXs), capturing more than 32% of total activity this month – the highest level since August 2017, according to a new report from crypto exchange CEXIO. Per the report, published today, Aug. 20, ETH’s dominance was even stronger on certain platforms. On CEXIO, for example, Ether accounts for 39% of weekly spot trades, up from 28% a month earlier. This surge was largely driven by transactions under $3,000, suggesting increased retail participation, the report noted. ETH spot volumes on centralized exchanges. Source: Blockworks “While riding a price rollercoaster, Ether quietly dethroned Bitcoin as the most-traded cryptocurrency in the spot market, signaling a decisive transition in trader attention,” the report reads. “Ether’s dominance in volume has also been increasing with each consecutive week, widening the difference with Bitcoin and other digital assets.” ETH has had a strong rally in recent weeks, currently trading near $4,300, up 4% on the day, 18.5% in the past two weeks, and 12% over the past month, according to The Defiant’s price page. BTC is currently changing hands at $113,900, flat on both the day and fortnight, but up nearly 93% over the past year. The recent price momentum has led to accelerated capital rotation into ETH throughout August, with the token recording a 23% increase in net position changes, CEXIO reported. Meanwhile Bitcoin’s net positions fell by roughly 43%. “As a result, Ethereum has now overtaken Bitcoin in capital rotation, indicating that traders are reallocating funds toward ETH at Bitcoin’s expense as well,” the report explained. However, the report cautioned that while this shift may support short-term gains for Ether, it could…
