Crypto micro‑caps jump while Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana move sideways after $1.7b in liquidations and renewed ETF‑era macro stress.

Summary
  • Micro-cap tokens Bi An Ren Sheng, Sentient, and Oasis Network’s ROSE surge up to ~16% on strong volumes and low-float squeezes.​
  • Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana trade sideways after a sharp sell-off and roughly $1.7b in forced crypto liquidations.​
  • Traders frame today’s micro-cap froth as optionality on the next risk-on leg, echoing prior ETF-driven cycles and XRP ETF milestones above $1b.​

Crypto micro‑caps steal the show as majors nurse losses today, with a trio of small‑cap tokens ripping higher against a backdrop of forced liquidations and macro nerves. According to Trading View’s Top Gainers today, a number of cryptos are starting to outperform classic bluechips cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.

Top gainers: Bi An Ren Sheng, Sentient, Oasis

Bi An Ren Sheng (BIANRENSHENG) leads the board, changing hands around $0.16293 after a jump of roughly 15.7% in the last 24 hours, pushing its market value near $162.9m on about $47.4m in spot turnover.

AI‑themed Sentient (SENT) is up close to 13% on the day, trading near $0.0389 with volumes approaching $769m and circulating supply around 7.24b tokens. Oasis Network’s ROSE token is also in focus, hovering near $0.0215 after a roughly 9.3% gain, with about $73.2m changing hands over 24 hours. One DeFi portfolio manager called it “a textbook rotation into beaten‑up privacy and data‑sharing names after weeks of underperformance.”

Bluechip cryptos trade sideways

These moves come as bluechip digital assets continue to trade as the purest expression of macro risk appetite. Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around $82,743, with a 24‑hour range roughly between the low‑$83,000s and mid‑$84,000s, on more than $70b in trading volumes as it struggles to stabilize after a sharp sell‑off. Ethereum (ETH) is quoted close to $2,818, with recent sessions printing highs just above $2,820 and lows near $2,750, while 24‑hour turnover has surged into the tens of billions alongside elevated volatility. Solana (SOL) trades around $115, up modestly on the day after a wide intraday band between roughly $113 and $123, as liquidity concentrates on major venues and options desks hedge downside tails.

Market structure remains fragile after roughly $1.7b in crypto liquidations and a wave of BTC‑linked selling that dragged Ether toward $2,800 and sent altcoins sharply lower earlier in the week. One macro strategist argued the current pattern “mirrors the positioning stress we saw when ETF‑driven demand threatened to absorb around 1% of circulating supply,” while another said micro‑caps are now “trading like optionality on the next risk‑on leg, building on December’s milestone, when XRP ETF assets first surpassed $1b.”

For some desks, today’s skew between heavy BTC stress and speculative froth in small caps recalls earlier phases of ETF‑driven cycles, when breaks of the $1b mark in single‑asset products coexisted with pockets of outright euphoria on the fringes.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
