ETF

A crypto ETF is a regulated investment fund that tracks the price of one or more digital assets and trades on traditional stock exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq.Following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the 2026 market now includes Solana ETFs and diversified Altcoin Baskets. ETFs serve as the primary vehicle for institutional capital and retirement funds (401k/IRA) to enter the Web3 space. This tag tracks regulatory approvals, AUM (Assets Under Management) inflows, and the impact of Wall Street on crypto liquidity.

Is MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Flywheel Facing Its First Real Stress Test?

Is MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Flywheel Facing Its First Real Stress Test?

The post Is MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Flywheel Facing Its First Real Stress Test? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. For the first time in its history, MicroStrategy (MSTR) is seeing its share price premium detach from Bitcoin’s performance. These changes are happening amidst the growth of Bitcoin (BTC) proxy plays, with MicroStrategy, now Strategy, being the largest corporate holder of the pioneer crypto. MicroStrategy’s Premium Breaks From Bitcoin The divergence raises questions about the sustainability of Michael Saylor’s financial model. Additional concerns include whether new entrants in the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) market are eroding the company’s unique role as Wall Street’s gateway to Bitcoin. In hindsight, MicroStrategy’s ability to accumulate Bitcoin at scale has always relied on a simple reflexive mechanism. When its stock trades at a premium to net asset value (mNAV), it can issue shares, raise cash, and buy BTC accretively. This financial alchemy has been the cornerstone of Saylor’s strategy since 2020. However, according to researcher Joseph Ayoub, the emergence of multiple DATs is weakening that flywheel. “For the first time in its history, it looks like the discount strongly correlated with Bitcoin’s price has diverged…Perhaps as a function of other DATs launching in the market… I don’t see this premium returning meaningfully again,” Ayoub wrote. If correct, this would mark a decisive turning point because then MicroStrategy’s ability to fund new Bitcoin purchases through equity issuance may be permanently impaired. DATs are equity companies that sell shares to purchase digital assets. Since 2020, the Digital Asset Treasury model has mushroomed from roughly $10 billion in NAV to over $100 billion. By comparison, Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) now account for around $150 billion. DATs appeal to investors because they offer equity exposure to crypto assets, often at significant premiums. Ayoub describes them as modern closed-end funds. Unlike ETFs, most DATs cannot redeem shares for underlying assets. This leaves valuation tied to market sentiment rather than…

Can the Fed afford to slash interest rates?

Can the Fed afford to slash interest rates?

Investors were dealt bad news on the inflation front across both consumer and producer measures.The Consumer Price Index (CPI) came out first and increased by 2.7% compared to last year, which was in line with estimates and matched June’s pace. But the core figure that excludes food and energy prices rose by 3.1% which was slightly higher than estimates.That also marks the second consecutive month where the core measure is seeing a faster rate of change. But the Producer Price Index (PPI) is running even hotter.The PPI gained 3.3% in July compared to last year while the core figure increased by 3.7%. The monthly gain was reported at 0.9%, which was well ahead of estimates for 0.2% and was the largest gain since inflation was surging higher in early 2022.PPI measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. That means it can lead changes in consumer price inflation. The chart below compares the annual change in CPI (green line) versus PPI (blue line), where you should watch for directional changes in inflation when PPI crosses over CPI.It’s just the latest warning that accelerating inflation could mark the second half of the year. But that’s not the only economic development that could complicate matters for the Federal Reserve.Despite the weak July payrolls report that saw major downward revisions to the prior two months, it appears that estimates for economic growth are holding up quite well.Following the latest retail sales report, the Atlanta Fed’s estimate for 3Q GDP growth is holding up at 2.5% annualized. Evidence of a strong economy along with accelerating inflation could put expectations for interest rate cuts on the backburner.This week, let’s look at leading indicators of inflation and evidence that companies are passing through tariffs in the form of higher prices. We’ll also look at metrics pointing to a resilient economy and why the economic outlook continues to support the rally in the S&P 500.The Chart ReportThe effective tariff rate currently stands at 18.6% which is the highest since 1933. One concern stemming from rising tariffs and the trade war are on the inflation picture, and if companies will pass higher costs to consumers in the form of higher prices. The PPI report is providing more evidence that businesses are increasing prices, which could show up in consumer inflation measures in the months ahead. The chart below shows the trade services component of the PPI report. It measures the margins received by wholesalers and retailers, and suggests producers are rising prices above cost.Chart from RenMac on XInvestor attention will be fixated on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, and how the Fed is viewing the balance of risks between recent weak labor market data and rising inflation. Past speeches by Powell have delivered insights on the metrics that central bank officials are tracking to make policy decisions. That includes comments by Powell in 2022 when he discussed core inflation components to monitor price levels. Those components include core goods, shelter, and core services excluding shelter (i.e. supercore inflation). The annual change in those three components are plotted in the chart below. You can see that core goods tends to move first followed by supercore inflation and then shelter. The recent increases in core goods and supercore inflation warn of rising inflation ahead.Chart from MacroMicroDespite the higher than expected core consumer and producer inflation reports for July, investors have barely tempered expectations for interest rate cuts in the months ahead. Odds for a quarter point rate cut at the next meeting in September stand at 92%, and the 2-year Treasury yield that tends to lead changes in the fed funds rate is hovering near recent levels. But unless there are clear signs of trouble in the economy, the Fed may decide to hold rates higher for longer. The chart below shows the annual change in core CPI (blue line) and the effective fed funds rate (green line). When policy is restrictive above core CPI, the Fed only tends to drop fed funds below CPI following a recession (shaded areas).Concerns over the strength of the labor market are growing following the weaker-than-expected July payrolls report and downward revisions to the prior two months. But that weakness is not yet showing up in broader measures of economic activity. With trade war noise around the impact to consumer spending and export/import data now lessening, estimates for current quarter GDP growth are holding up. The widely-followed Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model is showing 2.5% annualized growth for the third quarter and is being driven by moderate growth in consumer spending. The NY Fed’s GDP Nowcast is echoing something similar, and stands at 2.1% annualized for the third quarter (chart below).Major stock market indexes like the S&P 500 are hovering near record high levels. A big part of the S&P’s recovery from the early April lows has been driven by mega-cap stocks like Nvidia (NVDA), which now makes up over 8% of the S&P 500 alone with its $4+ trillion market valuation. But recent performance shows that market breadth is expanding, with the NYSE advance/decline ratio hitting nearly 6 to 1 last week and is one of the strongest figures since the April lows. The recovery in the average stock is a key ingredient to keep the rally intact. Since stock prices follow corporate earnings over the long-term, evidence that the economy is holding up is supporting the profit outlook. The chart below shows that positive earnings revisions for the S&P 500 is up sharply and hitting the highest level in over three years.Heard in the HubThe Traders Hub features live trade alerts, market update videos, and other educational content for members.Here’s a quick recap of recent alerts, market updates, and educational posts:Signs that GDP growth is holding up.Post-election year S&P 500 seasonality tracking.Trade war noise in the economic data is clearing.Breaking down the chart setup in this housing fintech.A huge model portfolio winner in 2024 that could be setting up again.You can follow everything we’re trading and tracking by becoming a member of the Traders Hub.By becoming a member, you will unlock all market updates and trade alerts reserved exclusively for members.🚨Our recent 142% gain in RKLB would cover a subscription for two years if you apply this discount found in the link below:👉You can click here to join now👈Trade IdeaIREN Ltd (IREN)After breaking out over resistance at the $15.50 level, price is coming back to test that area as support.

‘Stranger Things’ Duffer Brothers ink deal with Paramount Skydance

‘Stranger Things’ Duffer Brothers ink deal with Paramount Skydance

The post ‘Stranger Things’ Duffer Brothers ink deal with Paramount Skydance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer attend “Stranger Things” and Award Presentation To The Duffer Brothers (Variety Showrunner Award) during Day 1 of the 13th SCAD TVfest on February 05, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. Paras Griffin | Getty Images Entertainment | Getty Images The masterminds behind the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” have inked a new deal. The Duffer Brothers, the creative team of Matt and Ross Duffer, signed an exclusive four-year agreement with Paramount, newly merged with Skydance, for feature films, television and streaming projects. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Duffer Brothers’ contract with Netflix ends in April 2026. Upon that closure, Upside Down Pictures, led by the brothers and producing partner Hilary Leavitt, will begin developing projects for Paramount Pictures, Paramount Television and Paramount direct-to-consumer. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining the Paramount family,” Matt and Ross Duffer said in a joint statement Tuesday, adding that “bringing bold, original films to the big screen … is not just exciting – it’s the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The Duffer Brothers are best known for “Stranger Things,” a sci-fi horror series which is set to stream its fifth and final season on Netflix later this fall. The pair also wrote and directed the 2015 psychological thriller film “Hidden” and were involved in the production of “Wayward Pines,” which ran on Fox for two seasons starting in 2015. The pair has two projects in the works for Netflix — “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen” and “The Boroughs” — and plans to build out the “Stranger Things” franchise. The brothers said they will remain involved with Netflix for those projects. The deal with the Duffer Brothers comes shortly after Paramount officially merged with Skydance. Chairman and CEO David Ellison said in an open letter…

Ethereum vs. Bitcoin: ETH/BTC Ratio Climbs to Yearly Peak Amid Market Shift

Ethereum vs. Bitcoin: ETH/BTC Ratio Climbs to Yearly Peak Amid Market Shift

Ethereum (ETH) has maintained upward momentum in recent weeks, with the asset briefly touching $4,774 last week, just shy of its 2021 all-time high of over $4,800.  Although ETH has since corrected to around $4,306, the asset remains positive in terms of weekly performance, showing a 0.7% increase. This price action shows ongoing investor interest at a time when Ethereum’s relative performance against Bitcoin is attracting attention. Analysts have pointed to Ethereum’s growing strength in both spot and derivatives markets, where ETH is showing resilience against BTC. On CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, contributor EgyHash noted that the ETH/BTC trading pair has reached levels not seen since the beginning of the year, with spot trading volumes climbing to record highs. This shift in participation highlights Ethereum’s expanding role within the broader crypto market, particularly as institutional activity continues to increase. Related Reading: Ethereum Store-of-Value Evolution: From Utility Token To Digital Reserve Asset ETH/BTC Ratio and Market Participation According to EgyHash, Ethereum has recovered significantly after reaching a six-year low against Bitcoin earlier this year. The ETH/BTC pair now trades at 0.0368, its highest level in 2025, though still well below past cycle peaks. Notably, weekly spot trading volumes for ETH relative to BTC reached an all-time high, with Ethereum trading nearly three times the volume of Bitcoin last week. This signals an adjustment in market preference, as traders and investors increasingly allocate toward ETH. The derivatives market has also reflected this trend. Data shows that ETH/BTC perpetual futures open interest has risen to 0.71, its highest point in 14 months. This rise suggests stronger speculative positioning around Ethereum. EgyHash emphasized that such increases often signal short-term strength but also warned that Ethereum’s long-term standing against Bitcoin will depend on sustained adoption and continued investor conviction. Ethereum Institutional Demand and Policy Context Beyond spot and derivatives activity, institutional demand for Ethereum has been growing steadily. Another CryptoQuant analyst, writing under the pseudonym OnChain, highlighted that investment funds now hold approximately 6.1 million ETH. This represents a 68% increase compared to December 2024 levels and a 75% rise from April 2025. Alongside these holdings, the fund market premium for ETH has expanded significantly, climbing to a two-week average of 6.44%, far higher than during previous cycle peaks. Related Reading: Ethereum Plunges 10% After Smashing Into This Historical Barrier OnChain noted that such institutional accumulation reflects both financial and psychological market effects, with entities like BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF expanding exposure. The analyst also suggested that once staking becomes available within ETH-based ETFs, institutional flows could increase further. This development could coincide with broader US regulatory clarity, as legislation such as the proposed CLARITY Act seeks to formally classify both Bitcoin and Ethereum as digital commodities under federal law.
