ETF outflows saw ETH record a $197 million fund exit, its second-largest in history, while BTC also hit pause with a $122 million departure. Currently, BTC ETFs hold 6.38% of supply, while ETH ETFs hold 5.08% with ETH on track to surpass BTC by September, if the current inflow pace is sustained.
Ethereum exit queue hit a record with 910K ETH (~$3.9B) pending withdrawal, while 268K ETH is waiting to stake. On the BTC side, whale accumulation persists: 20,061 BTC added by wallets holding at least 10K BTC since Aug 13; bringing total added since March to 225K BTC.
Bitcoin clears $80K on easing oil fears and fresh institutional inflows, but holding the level – not breaking it – will decide whether this rally has legs.
The long-awaited break above $80,000 came on the back of record institutional inflows and geopolitical calm, but with the Fed in flux and altcoins still lagging, the rally has yet to prove itself.
Jerome Powell’s final, hawkish-leaning Fed presser—delivered against a backdrop of war-driven energy shocks and rare internal dissent—knocked Bitcoin off balance, extending its slide as rate-cut hopes fade and downside risks build.
