Bitcoin ETFs had a brutal day as $866 million rushed out the door, pushing BTC to fresh six-month lows. The sell-off hit right after the long US shutdown ended, leaving traders confused and annoyed. Some blamed the slow restart of government operations. Others blamed the market itself, which now feels like a toddler who lost its toy. (69c)
For two days straight, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw heavy withdrawals. Even Trump signing a funding bill failed to flip the mood. The bill funds the government into early 2026, but crypto traders want profits, not paperwork. (63c)
Despite the red charts, analysts say the bull market is intact unless Bitcoin drops under $94,000. Ki Young Ju, head of CryptoQuant, argued that many investors bought their BTC over the past year at that level. If the price stays above it, the market still breathes. (117c)
Other watchers claim the old “four-year cycle” is dead. They say ETFs and the new US administration have reshaped the entire structure. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley even suggested we might already be near the end of a quiet bear period. His take: crypto’s setup looks stronger than ever. (149c)
XRP grabbed the spotlight after the new XRPC ETF launched with a massive $58 million on day one. It beat every ETF debut this year across crypto and TradFi. Even Solana ETFs kept scoring inflows, proving investor appetite isn’t gone — just picky. (97c)
