  • Bitcoin fell to $91,200 as BlackRock’s IBIT notched another $113 million in outflows, pressuring sentiment while equities were little changed.
  • Futures open interest slid to $21 billion, basis and funding remained muted, and options positioning stays bullish with call-side skew rising.
  • Ether erased post-Fusaka gains, while the CD20 and memecoins weakened further.
  • ZEC y TRX desafiaron la tendencia con una fuerza destacada.

The crypto market fell during the European morning, with bitcoin BTC$91,190.06 dropping to $91,200 after hitting a weekly high of $94,200 on Wednesday.

La vente massive peut être attribuée à des sorties record de l'ETF bitcoin IBIT de BlackRock, avec 113 millions de dollars supplémentaires de sorties enregistrées jeudi alors que les taureaux de la crypto n'ont pas réussi à reprendre le contrôle du marché aux ours.

El índice de Miedo y Avaricia permanece deprimido en 25/100, sin lograr encontrar su camino hacia una zona neutral después de estar por debajo de 40/100 durante más de un mes.

Posicionamiento de derivados

  • El mercado de futuros de BTC muestra una cautela sostenida y un desapalancamiento agresivo. El interés abierto (OI) ha caído a $21 mil millones desde $25 mil millones hace un mes, lo que indica una reducción en el apalancamiento y la exposición al riesgo de los comerciantes.
  • Este desapalancamiento está ocurriendo junto con métricas de derivados de mercado consistentemente bajas: la base anualizada a tres meses se mantiene estable en 4%-5%, y las tasas de financiación son estables en 5%-6% en los principales lugares, sin que ninguna métrica muestre un cambio significativo en el último mes.
  • Les options BTC montrent un biais haussier soutenu malgré la baisse de la volatilité. La structure à terme de la volatilité implicite (IV) pour le court terme a chuté, s'éloignant de la backwardation vers un contango plus typique, indiquant une baisse des mouvements de prix immédiats et extrêmes attendus.
  • No obstante, la inclinación del volumen sigue siendo alcista, con un volumen de opciones de compra/venta de 24 horas aún al 57% a favor de las opciones de compra. Crucialmente, la inclinación de 25 delta a una semana ha visto un ligero aumento reciente al 8%, confirmando que los comerciantes todavía están pagando una prima por la exposición al alza a corto plazo.
  • La reciente volatilidad del precio de BTC provocó liquidaciones de $280 millones en 24 horas, con $200 millones siendo posiciones largas. ETH ($88 millones) y BTC ($85 millones) lideran en términos de liquidaciones nominales.
  • El mapa de calor de liquidaciones BTC/USDT en Binance sugiere una gran cantidad de liquidaciones largas alrededor de $90,600, según los datos de Coinglass. Ese es el nivel a tener en cuenta, en caso de una caída de precios.

Charla de tokens

  • The altcoin market performed equally poorly over the past 24 hours as TAO, HYPE and NEAR all lost more than 6.5% of their value.
  • But the biggest story was in the price action of ether ETH$3,127.27. Less than a day after its much-anticipated Fusaka upgrade, ETH gave back much of its initial gains, falling 2.62% from its daily high at 03:00 UTC.
  • La acción de precio apagada de ETH pinta una historia reveladora para el mercado más amplio de altcoins, ya que incluso los supuestos catalizadores alcistas están cayendo en oídos sordos.
  • The CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index mirrored ETH's decline while CDMEME, CoinDesk's memecoin index, slid 5.8% in the past 24 hours.
  • CoinMarketCap's "Altcoin Season" indicator se estancó en 21/100, aparentemente permanece atrapado en una zona bajista con los comerciantes optando por la consistencia de bitcoin y la seguridad de las stablecoins.
  • Dos excepciones a la caída del viernes: la moneda de privacidad zcash ZEC$385.30 y TRX, el token nativo de la cadena de bloques Tron, que subieron un 4.7% y un 1.8%, respectivamente.
  • In the case of ZEC, it is bouncing back from a corrective phase where it became "oversold" on the relative strength index (RSI). TRX, meanwhile, seems to be running its own race having recorded gains on the daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.

BlackRock’s IBIT Faces Record Outflow Run as Bitcoin Struggles to Reclaim Bull Trend

Another $113 million exited on Thursday, putting the fund on track for a sixth week in the red, its longest streak since debuting in early 2024.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online. ZachXBT, known for his diligent on-chain investigations, was quick to flag the development. He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…

The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025

The post The Next Bitcoin Story Of 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 07:39 Bitcoin’s rise from obscure concept to a global asset is the playbook every serious investor pores over, and it still isn’t done writing; Bitcoin now trades above $115,000, a reminder that the life-changing runs begin before most people are even looking. T The question hanging over this cycle is simple: can a new contender compress that arc, faster, cleaner, earlier, while the window is still open for those willing to move first? Coins still on presales are the ones can repeat this story, and among those coins, an Ethereum based meme coin catches most of the attention, as it’s team look determined to make an impact in today’s market, fusing culture with working tools, with a design built to reward early movers rather than late chasers. If you’re hunting the next asymmetric shot, this is where momentum and mechanics meet, which is why many traders quietly tag this exact meme coin as the best crypto to buy now in a crowded market. Before we dive deeper, take a quick rewind through the case study every crypto desk knows by heart: how Bitcoin went from about $0.0025 to above $100,000, and turned a niche experiment into the story that still sets the bar for everything that follows. Bitcoin 2010-2025 Price History Back to first principles: a strange internet money appears in 2010 and then, step by step, rewires the entire market, Bitcoin’s arc from about $0.0025 to above $100,000 is the case study every desk still cites because it proves one coin can move the entire game. In 2009 almost no one guessed the destination; launched on January 3, 2009, Bitcoin picked up a price signal in 2010 when the pizza trade valued BTC near $0,0025 while early exchange quotes lived at fractions of…

Metaplanet 50M Bitcoin Loan and BTC Relief Rally

Metaplanet 50M Bitcoin Loan and BTC Relief Rally

The post Metaplanet 50M Bitcoin Loan and BTC Relief Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet has secured a 50 million dollar loan using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral to fund new BTC purchases and income products. At the same time, chartist Titan of Crypto says Bitcoin’s price action continues to track a earlier relief rally fractal on the two day chart. Metaplanet secured a 50 million dollar loan backed by its existing Bitcoin holdings, according to a new disclosure shared today. The company said the funds will support additional Bitcoin purchases and expand its Bitcoin-based income operations as part of its ongoing treasury strategy. The filing shows that Metaplanet pledged part of its current holdings to obtain the loan instead of issuing new equity or bonds. This structure allows the firm to raise capital while keeping its Bitcoin position intact. It also signals that the company continues to lean heavily on Bitcoin as both a reserve asset and a financing tool. The move follows a series of Bitcoin-focused initiatives from Metaplanet, including earlier bond issuances and ongoing accumulation programs. Today’s loan marks the latest step in that strategy as the company increases leverage to expand its holdings. Analyst Sees Bitcoin Still Following Earlier Cycle Fractal Meanwhile, Crypto chartist Titan of Crypto says Bitcoin’s latest pullback still fits the “relief rally” fractal he has been tracking on the two-day chart. In a new update, he compares the current structure to the 2021–2022 cycle, highlighting a similar sequence of a local peak, a sharp drop into a demand zone, and then a rebound. Bitcoin Relief Rally Fractal Roadmap.
