PANews reported on October 30th that, according to a CryptoQuant report, US investor demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum has weakened significantly in both the spot and derivatives markets. Bitcoin prices briefly surpassed $126,000 and Ethereum approached $5,000 at the end of September, but market sentiment subsequently cooled, and investor interest in further accumulation diminished. ETF inflows, spot exchange premiums, and futures basis indicators all suggest a decline in enthusiasm among US institutional and retail investors, who are currently more inclined to take profits and cautiously position themselves rather than accumulate new holdings. Specific data shows: The US spot Bitcoin ETF has turned net sold, with a seven-day average outflow of 281 BTC, the weakest level since April. Inflows into the Ethereum ETF have almost stagnated since mid-August, reflecting a lack of investor confidence. Spot demand on US cryptocurrency exchanges has slowed, with the price premium for Bitcoin and Ethereum on Coinbase nearing zero, indicating reduced buying pressure in the US spot market. Historical data shows that price increases are typically accompanied by positive premiums, while a flattening premium suggests weak domestic demand. The futures market showed a similar trend. The annualized basis for CME Bitcoin futures fell to 1.98%, the lowest level in more than two years; the basis for Ethereum six-month futures fell to 3.0%, the lowest since July, indicating weakening demand for leveraged investments. Overall data suggests that US investor sentiment has cooled after reaching its September highs, and market participants may be waiting for new catalysts to re-engage in risk investment.PANews reported on October 30th that, according to a CryptoQuant report, US investor demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum has weakened significantly in both the spot and derivatives markets.

PANews reported on October 30th that, according to a CryptoQuant report, US investor demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum has weakened significantly in both the spot and derivatives markets. Bitcoin prices briefly surpassed $126,000 and Ethereum approached $5,000 at the end of September, but market sentiment subsequently cooled, and investor interest in further accumulation diminished. ETF inflows, spot exchange premiums, and futures basis indicators all suggest a decline in enthusiasm among US institutional and retail investors, who are currently more inclined to take profits and cautiously position themselves rather than accumulate new holdings.

Specific data shows:

  1. The US spot Bitcoin ETF has turned net sold, with a seven-day average outflow of 281 BTC, the weakest level since April. Inflows into the Ethereum ETF have almost stagnated since mid-August, reflecting a lack of investor confidence.
  2. Spot demand on US cryptocurrency exchanges has slowed, with the price premium for Bitcoin and Ethereum on Coinbase nearing zero, indicating reduced buying pressure in the US spot market. Historical data shows that price increases are typically accompanied by positive premiums, while a flattening premium suggests weak domestic demand.
  3. The futures market showed a similar trend. The annualized basis for CME Bitcoin futures fell to 1.98%, the lowest level in more than two years; the basis for Ethereum six-month futures fell to 3.0%, the lowest since July, indicating weakening demand for leveraged investments.

Overall data suggests that US investor sentiment has cooled after reaching its September highs, and market participants may be waiting for new catalysts to re-engage in risk investment.

‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure

The post ‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A “combo” ETF  Crypto ETF trailblazer  Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert has reacted to the approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund  (GDLC), the very first multi-crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), describing it as “groundbreaking.”  “Grayscale continues to be the first mover, driving new product innovations that bridge tradfi and digital assets,” Silbert said while commenting on the news.  Peter Mintzberg, chief executive officer at Graysacle, claims that the team behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset manager is working “expeditiously” in order to bring the product to the market.  A “combo” ETF  The ETF in question offers exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as several other major altcoins, including the Ripple-linked XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). XRP, for instance, has a 5.2% share of the fund, making it the third-largest constituent.  The fund initially debuted as a private placement for accredited investors back in early 2018, and its shares later became available on over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  In early July, the SEC approved the conversion of GDLC into an ETF, but it was then abruptly halted for a “review” shortly after this.  As of Sept. 17, the fund currently has a total of $915.6 million in assets.  Crypto ETF trailblazer  It is worth noting that Grayscale is usually credited with kickstarting the cryptocurrency ETF craze by winning its court case against the SEC.  The SEC ended up approving Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and then followed up with Ethereum ETFs.  Grayscale’s flagship GBTC currently boasts more than $20.5 billion in net assets, according to data provided by SoSoValue.  Source: https://u.today/groundbreaking-barry-silbert-reacts-to-approval-of-etf-with-xrp-exposure
