PANews reported on September 21st that according to CoinDesk, US investment bank Jefferies pointed out in a recent client Q&A report for large institutional investors that cryptocurrencies, like the early days of the internet boom, are still in the "1996 phase" and have greater room for growth. Many companies are actively developing investment strategies and determining how to allocate funds between tokens, ETFs, digital asset treasuries (DATs), and publicly traded companies with risk exposure. Jefferies analysts note that excessive focus on Bitcoin prices distracts from the disruptive potential of blockchain technology across various industries. Clients are already considering investing in the sector through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital asset treasury (DAT) firms. Their advice echoes the investment strategies of the dot-com era in 1996: be selective and prioritize lasting utility. As capital shifts from speculative assets to tokens driving real-world applications, significant divergence is expected to continue. Jefferies recommends analyzing tokens like early-stage tech startups, prioritizing "adoption, development, usage, and use cases" over the fleeting revenue spikes of certain blockchains.PANews reported on September 21st that according to CoinDesk, US investment bank Jefferies pointed out in a recent client Q&A report for large institutional investors that cryptocurrencies, like the early days of the internet boom, are still in the "1996 phase" and have greater room for growth.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision
The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
