ETF

fajarsis02

In 2027 it will be either 'bust' (thus another opportunity to stack up more in cheap) or boom. This cycle will be different than the last due to the influx of institution money coming from ETF. In either case post 2028 it will be another boom due to halving of supply.

infernalr00t

Long term will be only Bitcoin , ETF, pension funds, treasury, Ethereum will be just like Litecoin and another alts. Just take a look at ATH to Bitcoin, 2017 and never see it again.

singleanddesperate

If you’re starting with $50, I’d spread it across three: WHITENET – new L1 for RWAs, 200K+ TPS, fair launch, early stage. ETH – proven network, ETF flows, massive ecosystem. That way you get one blue-chip, plus two early asymmetric plays. DYOR

ElderTruth50

How come folks revert to "jargonese" and don't answer the question? I'm right there with everybody else. I would like to know who walked away from BIT COIN with more actual MONEY in their pocket? How many investors who use BIT COIN ETF, actually walk away with more hard currency in their wallet? Go ahead..... I'll wait..........

Xrp is going to keep getting pushed back until it can reach 80% dilution, which is the tradfi requirement. That means either xrp is going to have to dump on its retail, or risk going without an etf at all. And defi is too small a drip in the pot to change tradfi commodities laws. Instead it is more likely legal clairty will be to see how defi fits within existing framework. Good news Hbar's ETF is looking like a strong approval option, as its at 90% dilution.

Seattleman1955

1031 doesn't apply and it's not what is needed anyway. An ETF that is allowed to take in kind BTC is what you are talking about.

git_rekted_bruh

I am in a similar situation as you. Hope thinks get better for you and you can continue stacking. Check the previous cycles, we will definitely retest. And considering the US economy/looming recession, if the stocks dump, btc will too. Inb4 this cycle is different bc ETF and commercial investors; the economy doesn't care about that.

No-Pepper6969

ETF, easier to leverage them a low price without fear of institutional failure.

Electrical_Invite552

At this point I'm better off just sticking to a safe long term ETF. Same gains but without the ridiculous drops

November10_1775

I own 1,000 shares of IBIT. Does anyone know how to calculate the potential of an ETF? I threw 85% of my 401k into it at 67$ a share. Trying to be aggressive while young.

Street_Outside_7228

I wouldn’t think I can get the number down to exactly $1k and the truth is, we do need to see what the top price in ‘25 will be before we can more accurately guess the bottom in ‘26. My money’s on it bottoming out somewhere between old ATH price and the ETF start price so between $40-60k after it tops out closer to $150k.

Easik

It won't. Mainstream fund managers aren't allocating BTC in their dated funds. Most companies also aren't allowing BTC ETF purchases directly. It's a nice to have for the future, but you should expect little change in price because of this change. P.s this bill also allowed real estate and other hard assets into 401k

Deadeye313

Bitcoin will likely never be a real lifeboat. If the USA collapsed and everyone fled, who would care about your bitcoin? China? No, they outlawed it. Korea? Japan? India? Nah. Indians still barely have computers in many places, so what will they do with your little thumb drive? South America? No. Europe? Maybe, but unlikely. Not to be a gold bug, but gold has been and still is used by every civilization ever, especially physical gold (as opposed to paper gold from an ETF). Gold is like the currency of last resort. Silver, too. Nothing really can beat the beauty, rarity and longevity of metals like Gold or silver or platinum, and showing up in a new country with something physical like gold will get you much further than 1s and 0s on a flash drive.

torkildj

Are you retarded? Blackcock didn't sell any ETH from their balance sheet. They sold the ETH of their clients when they hit the SELL button on their Schwab Blackcock ETF. People like you give me hope I can use you as exit liquidity in case the bear starts!

tldr; The inclusion of cryptocurrency in US 401(k) retirement plans could significantly boost Bitcoin adoption and unlock billions in new capital, potentially driving Bitcoin's price to $200,000 by the end of 2025, according to André Dragosch of Bitwise. This development may surpass the impact of US spot Bitcoin ETF approvals, with retirement plan managers expected to allocate 1-3% to Bitcoin. Major providers like BlackRock and Fidelity have economic incentives to include Bitcoin ETFs, further accelerating adoption and inflows. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Someone posted a screenshot of his r/DEGIRO ETF portfolio and asked redditors what was missing or what he should/could add. This was my reply.

Alexchii

That makes no sense. If I had 10 million in ETF's and zero on my bank account it'd make sense for me to say that I can't afford a Big Mac? I could click sell and have the 50k required to buy my way to a full Bitcoin in 2 minutes. Just like I could withdraw from my HYSA. I can definitely afford one, I just don't want to. My ETF-investments are just a place for me to save money I don't currently need over the long term.

tldr; Ethereum's staking ecosystem faces significant congestion, with 910,461 ETH ($3.9 billion) stuck in the exit queue as of August 19, 2025. The 16-day backlog, driven by platforms like Lido and Coinbase, reflects investor repositioning amid market shifts, ETF speculation, and liquidity needs. Factors include ETH's price rally to $4,300 and anticipation of U.S.-approved staking ETFs. The queue highlights Ethereum's growing role in decentralized finance, though potential price drops could trigger liquidations. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Hephalumpicus

Not as good as holding in a hard wallet, but one can take advantage of the 401k match by getting a BTC ETF within the 401k itself. Getting a company match in a tax deferred BTC ETF is nice. Looks like the gov (US) is going to do away with Roth IRA's, but tax free Roth IRA BTC ETF's after 5 years, wow. Perfect for HODLers!

Vetrol_

Identify the cycle, where are we in that cycle? According to that, make an entry/exit strat. I can tell you the most parabolic phase is still coming, so you can easily enter right now and exit in 1/2-1year, then buy back in 2027, if crypto still follow the 4 year cycle ofccourse M2 is rising, rate cuts are coming, altcoin ETF's are coming. Fun times ahead

Realistic_Olive_6665

Once it goes below the old 2021 ATH, many people, including myself, would start aggressively buying as much as possible. At 10k, people would be anticipating an eventual 12x return when the price eventually returns to its current ATH. That’s how you know that such a price decrease is very unlikely. You would need one or more major treasury companies or ETF to fail. The price didn’t even get that low after the FTX collapse.

Street_Outside_7228

Yeah, gonna stop dropping somewhere between [last ATH - ETF start] so between $60-40k what I would estimate.

PMmeuroneweirdtrick

It's not. 40% return on that timeframe is less than ETF's.

tldr; The US SEC has delayed decisions on three crypto ETFs, pushing review deadlines into October. The affected ETFs include NYSE Arca’s Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, 21Shares’ and Bitwise’s Solana ETFs, and 21Shares Core XRP Trust. These ETFs aim to provide investors exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. The SEC often uses full extension periods to evaluate new products and gather public feedback, with many crypto ETF decisions expected this fall. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

ETH dip is normal after ATH, just shakeout before next leg. Long term still bullish with ETF flows and upgrades. But if you want earlier upside, $WHITE is where the alpha is. Regulated on-chain brokerage, real RWA use case, fair launch, no VC games. While ETH climbs steady, $WHITE has room to explode.

Past_Hotel_5987

$1,800 would be a brutal retrace. Personally I doubt it unless we see a total risk-off across all markets. ETH fundamentals (L2 growth, ETF inflows, supply burn) make that scenario less likely in my view.

Past_Hotel_5987

That’s exactly the debate. Short-term correction doesn’t kill the trend, and with macro lining up (rate cuts, ETF flows), a new ATH by year-end is definitely on the table.

fivehints

MSTY its a options income ETF underlying is MSTR. BTC yield proxy.

Personal-Reality9045

>As that budget dwindles with more halvings, the network will become more and more insecure. Weird assertion. Because by that logic, we should have already witnessed a drop in hash rate. We've had 3 now? ANd the hash rate has only sky rocketed. WEIRD. Bitcoin is a Veblen good. Don't expect the price to be dropping anytime soon. Lmao. The current ETF inflows outpace the amount of BTC created. [https://www.coinglass.com/bitcoin-etf](https://www.coinglass.com/bitcoin-etf) LMAO. So many people hoping for bitcoin's demise so the garbage snake oil they invested in fullfills its promise of usurping the top spot. It isn't ever happening. The world only needs 1 blockchain like the world only needs 1 internet. Bitcoin is a data transfer protocol. People didn't understand this and are left with increasingly heavier bags. Unable to sell because they are blinded by hope and wont put in the effort to understand the engineering of what they are invested in because it's easier to believe the religion. It's sad really.

Friendly-Profit-8590

Well Strategy has stated they’re not selling so there’s that but obviously things could change. The ETF’s holdings will be determined by retail sentiment so I imagine if Bitcoin’s price tanks you’ll see an outflow there that’s probably compound the downward price movement.

PreparationNervous92

lmao. yes, and go back to your SPY and ETF stonks.

ScatMonkeyPro

ADA is a good choice. Highly likely to get spot ETF.

Inviiiiii

I don't think you know what ETF is. ‘Big players’ don't buy anything, they are just the middleman here.

MathematicianFar6725

Inheritance is not something to be gambled with out of respect. Keep it the fuck out of crypto. Put it in a broad market ETF and leave it there

Lufia321

Put it into the S&P500 or any other ETF, no point wasting it on crypto, if you wanted, stick to only 5-10% of that for BTC and ETH.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitcoin options traders have invested over $1 billion in bets that the cryptocurrency's price will exceed $140,000 by September 26, reflecting optimism about its ongoing rally. This bullish sentiment is supported by factors like ETF inflows, corporate treasury investments, and a weakening US dollar. Additionally, Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet recently purchased 775 Bitcoin at $120,000 per coin, further boosting market confidence. Traders anticipate favorable macroeconomic conditions, including potential Federal Reserve rate cuts in September. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

anchorschmidt8

I second this. You could also consider an All world ETF. It's so easy to lose the 50k in crypto when it could be a comfortable retirement following this strategy

GethinAtor

People have been saying this for years yet the exact opposite is happening. You can consistently pay 1 sat/vByte to send a tx (the minimum fee allowed) with BTC being at ~ $120k BTC is getting moved away from on-chain usage with increased demand for ETF’s and exchanges. At $1m, why would this be any different? In 7 years, the block reward will be below 0.8 BTC, 4x less than it is now. Assuming tx fees remain the same (I don’t see why they would suddenly increase when we’ve seen the exact opposite) the cost of attack is 25% what it is now.

Illustrious-Boss9356

Yes but you do know that most hodlers don't self custody right? That's like saying 95% of all cash is owned by banks not people (technically true) but every depositor would say their money is their money despite it not being in their possession. If someone has BTC on an exchange or has shares of an ETF, that's still BTC exposure.

mario8448

Buy the COIN11 AND BLOK11 ETF and HOLD

MarkyMark4Eva

Over th next decade? It'll do what it has been doing - increase in value. Institution adoption will increase and more people with buy ETF's or have it in their 401K's. Also, BTC DeFi is around the corner. Just wait until you can lend out your BTC and get paid back in BTC. Shits about to get wild when that happens.

VariatCA

These discounts will last right up until just before the U.S. stock market opens up. Can't let those ETF's get such a juicy deal on ETH/BTC while the rest of the markets are still flying.

Personal-Reality9045

What do you mean $3.50? You realize the current block reward is 350k right? You think that ETF inflows are going to drop before the next halving? Lmao.

digihippie

Fidelity offers a non ETF crypto Roth and Traditional IRA.

Puzzleheaded_Card_71

Take profits. Don’t mess around. Either start to dca out each week a bit or pick a clear number at which you start. For instance for me, I start to sell a bit of btc at 120k and SOL as 200. When they drop below that I pause. If there is a strong spike, sell a bigger chunk. Then dont reinvest. Put that money into a safe holding space be it a HYSA, a ETF of your choice, etc. lock that in for the next potential bear, so if we match previous cycles, that’s btc down to around 70k. This way you hedge your bets. If btc just keeps running you are steadily selling out but you didn’t dump it well short. Flip side If like last cycle black swans hit, you’ve hopefully taken some good profits that are parked and ready to deploy.

rexaruin

You can buy bitcoin directly through Fidelity Crypto. Or you can buy the BTC ETF, FBTC.

Obvireal

Learn as much as possible about Bitcoin our economy is Keynesian so the money expansion won’t stop. Through fidelity you can buy an ETF. It’s a good starting point. If you go full Bitcoiner you will want to learn about cold storage. In my opinion ETFs are okay, but are susceptible to paper Bitcoin attacks. Bitcoin is finite so if they don’t have the Bitcoin you’re fucked. No more can be printed or mined and they would compensate you a decade later at the price you bought it for like what happened with mt gox. I do own the ETF but for a short period as I’m leveraging it on Robinhood. Some have a different take but similar.

XLinkJoker

All in on Bitcoin, I want a house & a ETF can’t get me there fast enough. Once Bitcoin reaches the millions I might diversify.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Ethereum (ETH) may have more growth potential than Bitcoin (BTC), according to analytics firm Santiment. While BTC recently hit a new all-time high, ETH has not yet surpassed its 2021 peak, despite a 22% monthly rise and reaching its highest price in nearly four years. Santiment suggests that ETH's investor base has shown less bullish sentiment, which could indicate further upside. Increased institutional demand, including billions in ETH acquisitions and ETF inflows, supports this outlook. ETH's recent performance contrasts with BTC's peak euphoria phase, hinting at more room for growth. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

HappyTension

That's awesome! It's cool to hear someone else is doing something similar, especially with the daily buy-in. I like the idea of using the ETF for the tax benefits. I totally agree with that mentality—the feeling of just accumulating more sats every single day is a great motivator. It makes the daily price charts less of a rollercoaster and more of a "did I get my $10 in today?" type of thing. Also I hope I stick with the plan hahah. Wish me luck.

cd80808080

Im somewhat similar. I established my core position in 2017-2020. Now I put $20 a day into my ROTH IRA - IBIT ETF, for tax purposes. But yes I do daily like you. I prefer to have more sats everyday than the day prior.

We all have been where you're at, read/bookmark this guide and make sure to learn along your journey. Congrats on the move, it's never too late, [despite new people thinking otherwise](https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/rskpuf/i_have_only_600_bitcoinsi_missed_the_bus/). ONLY INVEST MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE. Invest in your knowledge, learn about Bitcoin as much as you can. The Bitcoin Standard book is a must read. So is Broken Money book. Get them and READ them both, please. Also, **don't reply any DMs**, emails, private messages on other social media, promising to buy Bitcoin from them or get rich quick by investing into some website. They all are scammers. Even the hot Asian chick, he's a scammer too. **Price wise, nobody knows what the price will be tomorrow, next week or at the end of the year.** **Try "Bitcoin ONLY" strategy for at least the first 210,000 block cycle**, you'll sleep much better. Newcomers lose so much money, holding garbage tokens just because someone on YT told them to. If you don't like losing money in [failed coins](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/how-many-cryptocurrencies-failed), avoid. Going DCA is probably the best approach, IMHO. Bitcoin to me, is a savings account. If I have some spare cash, I exchange it for sats. Once a week works best for me, but I'm getting paid weekly. If there's a 10% drop in the price since my last buy, I usually double my buy. This [DCA calculator](https://dca.bitnob.com/) might help to decide what will work best for you. In a few years, even $10 dollars a month can make a massive difference. This [DCA blog](https://er-bybitcoin.com/) is pretty interesting too and compares buying bitcoin VS stocks. Now, don't buy some fake bitcoin at a spot ETF place or similar, **get the real thing** that you can withdraw anytime you want. Register at a proper exchange and buy real Bitcoin. Any of these will do [https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin](https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin) Install (or buy - in case you're getting Bitcoin in Thousands of $) one or more of these wallets.

Use the Bitcoin only firmware as it's safer than a multi coin software. [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/) - air gapped, Bitcoin only, has advanced features but a new user will do fine with one of the great tutorials available. [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/) - another great little device, opt for the more secure Bitcoin ONLY version (less coins = less code = less chance for a hidden bug or a backdoor) [Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade) - air gapped, fully open source, Bitcoin only, great features. There's a newer version called Jade Plus, it has much better camera and overall is a better, although a bit more expensive, option. You can even [build it on your own](https://github.com/Blockstream/jade/), if you feel adventurous. [Seedsigner](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner) - another DIY, fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, not for you if you're just starting up but something to consider later. [Krux wallet](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/) - one more DIY hardware device, I love this one for many reasons. Similar to Seedsigner, it's fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, that is not for you right now if you're just starting up, but something to consider at a later stage and/or to up the security of your bitcoin. There's also Ledger, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not fully open source, keep and already leaked customers' details, recently said they're capable of sending customers' keys out just with a firmware update, etc. **Stay away**, save yourself a headache in the future. Whatever wallet you'll decide to buy, purchase DIRECTLY from the manufacturer, no eBay, no Amazon. Make sure the device is NOT preset, and you will generate your own seed words. Write them down on any piece of paper as well as the receiving address. Now wipe the wallet and generate a new wallet. If the seed words are different from the first set, you're safe to use it. Find an option to set a passphrase and use it. This will boost the security to another level. Never store the seed words and passphrase together. Use a different medium if possible. If somebody finds both, they'll be able to steal your coin. This little device will hold the keys to your money, that's the reason why you have to be a bit more careful. Also, no worries, if it breaks, you can replace it - as long as you keep your seed words and passphrase(s) safe. Welcome to the rabbit hole and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions anytime during your Bitcoin journey. Also, [check the sidebar](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/about) that's filled with lots of great info and if you have any questions, visit r/BitcoinBeginners or r/Bitcoin and look for the answers.

Hey OP you can buy an BTC ETF in yoir roth IRA

SuperYova

Don’t make the assumption anymore that getting into Bitcoin is the libertarian notion of being independent from banking and government. I think most folks today just want to make money off volatility and investing into an ETF is all they’ll need.

Roth into a bitcoin ETF. I'm all for self custody but this is a no brainer at 18

tldr; Renowned trader Peter Brandt supports a Bitcoin price prediction chart suggesting the cryptocurrency could reach $280,000 by late 2025. The chart aligns Bitcoin's four major cycles since 2011, predicting a peak between $150,000-$180,000 during a mid-channel run and up to $280,000 if the pattern mirrors previous cycles. Brandt’s endorsement adds credibility, though factors like ETF flows and global liquidity could impact the timeline and price. Investors are cautioned about the market's volatility. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

All ETF because the account is registered therefore there will be no capital gains tax if/when I liquidate.

Yep ETF's coming, might be a commodity after Clarity Act finalizes, is actually decentralized, secure, and doesn't crash, and is building interoperability. Cardano is going to be big at some point and should perform well this cycle.

East-Day-7888

Except if you have ever seen a chart you can see the RSI on BtC is failing, and a bear is not possible, and at the same time Alts that are supported from Utility and ETF from outside if DeFi are still looking strong. As they are now less reliant if defi retail sentiment. It is likely this will be the first-ever alt season.

East-Day-7888

Considering alts like Hbar, have utility support and pending ETF it is likely, if another bear comes for btc and eth that it will remain supported and their alt season will start.

East-Day-7888

Can't wait to see where alts like Hbar will end up as they have those ETF supporting

SeverusSchnaps

Absolutely correct, no offense taken here. Lets see what this year brings. I can remember people always selling in May and buying back in September. But this year it would have bitten them in the backside.  Retail VS ETF is a bit different, I think - again, no source for this except "TMB science" - that ETF buyers are most likely more seasoned investors. Else, why would one buy a ETF and not the "real deal". For example, I am into 4 ETFs since 2014 and I haven't sold once neither did I check the balance regularly (except during tax season).  Lets see!  !Remindme november 1st 2025

tobypassquarant

It's not time to consider this yet. There's going to be a lot of infighting between banks and stablecoin issuers. Banks won't want stablecoin issuers having a higher interest rate than they do, so they'll have to force the regulation onto the issuers whilst simultaneously blocking any new issuer from appearing on the market to circumvent it. This is priority number 1. (It's probably Ethereum though, since they already have an ETF and can buy enough to dominate the market and call the shots)

tldr; Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg predicts Bitcoin has a greater than 50% chance of reaching $140K-$150K this year before entering a bear market in 2024. He attributes recent price action to spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and treasury firm purchases, with large institutions and sovereign wealth funds driving demand. McClurg also anticipates Federal Reserve rate cuts in September and October. Other experts, like Michael Saylor and Matt Hougan, remain optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term growth, dismissing the likelihood of another bear market soon. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Simke11

You’re right and I apologise. In any case not the first time people proclaimed “no more bear markets”. ETF holders are also retail, and one not used to crypto volatility. As for predicting the pattern, we had cycle tops in Nov ‘13, Dec ‘17 and Nov ‘21. While you can argue this isn’t enough data points, the trend hasn’t been invalidated yet, and more importantly market psychology plays a big role here. If enough market participants believe that another top is coming Nov / Dec this year, they will trigger a sell off, becoming a self fulfilling prophecy.

BitcoinBitme

Yeah I don’t care how you buy your Bitcoin, and I don’t have any feelings towards your or anyone else’s preferences. Just know the risks of ETFs. Whatever ETF you’re buying could be selling you paper Bitcoin without actual backing. I’m not claiming they do that, but there’s that risk and people have been burned by similar things in the past. Not your keys, not your Bitcoin.

pezdal

Yes and a single address can contain BTC owned by multiple people (a couple, a family, a fund, an ETF, a cold wallet for an exchange, etc.)

ScatMonkeyPro

Buy projects that have a spot ETF, or are likely to get a spot ETF.

2mindx

I have in IBIT form, so I don't count I guess. So whatever you are curious finding out, there's the ETF aspect as well.

ThriceHawk

You can put a decent chunk in now, but I'd mainly dollar cost average in to be safe. 33% BTC, 33% ETH, 33% LINK. BTC - Obvious, clear king of crypto, not much explanation needed here. ETH - Powering the largest ecosystem of dApps, Smart Contracts, DeFi, etc... The foundation for web3 applications. Largest and most active developer community in crypto. Ethereum accounts for 60%+ of DeFi's TVL. Huge player in tradfi tokenized assets moving forward. Primary blockchain for stablecoins. LINK - Leading oracle provider, secures 80%+ of DeFi, and the bridge with traditional finance/real world data. Already partnered with JP Morgan, SWIFT, Citi, Fidelity, the DTCC, Coinbase, AAVE, Mastercard, BNP Paribas, BNY Melon, Euroclear, etc. Provides cross chain interoperability allowing tokenized assets and data to move seamlessly across 50+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, etc. Key enabler of tokenized assets, provides proof of reserves for stablecoins/securities, and data feeds for equities, ETF's, etc.

Only those with ETF. Hate ripple, but XRP might be the right answer since insurance and retirement funds are about to enter this playground

justletmesignupalre

As you said in your sixth sentence, its likely safe. Not guaranteed. Its a blue chip now, but others have been blue chips and have come and gone. Solana has an ETF as well but the whole coin and chain are running on hype and downtime. RWAs and AI are this bullrun's buzzwords (remember DAOs and farms?), every four years new chains and concepts come up and many establish them as the new forever, but nothing is for certain. Regards, an old fart.

avgjoe104220

I’d argue against this. Aside from btc pretty much guaranteed Ethereum survives. It had an ETF. Pretty much controls all stable coins run on it. Has majority share of tokenized RWAs. You’re likely safe in all those large caps. Now will they have a pull back in bear market? Absolutely but unlikely they just cease to exist. I have 55% btc 43% solana, 2 % ETH. Just threw in $1000 at Mantle too. But that’s a moonshot coin for myself. Don’t really count that as any large part of my portfolio. 

formerFAIhope

Kaspa. How the hell are people sleeping on this? DAG for Blockchain! This is the missing link. Parallelisation of block generation and ordering. This is serious tech upgrade. Hedera comes nowhere near, in terms of true contributions to current crypto space. People are now whining about it, because after being for *literally years* down in the dumps (in the time that other serious alt coins went through the roof with at least double digit percentage growth), the ETF news allowed HBAR to jump a little. And it has receded significantly from ATH still.

Vaginosis-Psychosis

This cycle proves diminishing returns is real. Just look at the price action... we haven't even doubled the previous cycles high after over 4 years. I was expecting more— a lot more. Things are looking a bit grim imo. And now that Bitcoin is underperforming its previous cycles, just look how the narratives have changed. Remember the "God Candles" or "Omega" candles all the influencers were talking about once the ETF was approved, once the SBR was approved, once SAB 121 is rescinded, once we get regulatory clarity, etc... it goes on and on. They were wrong about everything! And now the new narrative "institutional will cause a slow grind up and end volatility" completely contradicts the old one of a "violent upward green candles" that they were shilling for so long. Just look back. Literally every single thought-leader/influencer has been completely wrong about Bitcoin's performance. Nobody knows shit about fuck.

\*\*Market Maturation Framework: Beyond the Hype Cycle\*\* This memecoin dominance drop reflects a natural \*\*Market Evolution Triangle\*\*: \*\*1. Saturation Point Reached\*\* \- Supply explosion: 10,000+ new tokens monthly vs. historical 100s \- Attention fragmentation: Retail FOMO diluted across too many projects \- Capital efficiency declining: Same $ spread across exponentially more assets \*\*2. Institutional Capital Flows\*\* \- ETF flows ($640M BlackRock ETH) create structural demand for blue chips \- Institutional risk frameworks exclude speculative assets \- Regulatory clarity favors established protocols over meme tokens \*\*3. Utility Convergence\*\* Memecoins showing survival patterns: \- Community governance (DOGE's merchant adoption) \- Cross-chain bridges (SHIB's layer-2 development) \- Real-world integration (PEPE's brand partnerships) \*\*Strategic Takeaway\*\*: This isn't memecoin "death" but market maturation. The survivors will be those that evolve from pure speculation to utility-backed community assets. \*\*Next catalyst\*\*: If we hit Phase 4 altseason, expect selective memecoin revival focused on established brands with real utility, not new pump-and-dumps.

I am an advisor and I recommend every client has at least 1%-5% in bitcoin via ETF or Cold storage

tldr; Memecoins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe have seen their market dominance drop to a record low of 0.039, the lowest since February 2024. This decline is attributed to Ethereum's growing dominance, fueled by institutional investments such as BlackRock's $640 million Ethereum ETF. Analysts suggest this is part of a four-phase market cycle, with Ethereum currently in phase 2. A potential 'altseason' in phase 4 could revive memecoins, but the increasing institutionalization of crypto may alter traditional cycles. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

> The actual Bitcoins available on exchanges for people to buy, had been dropping since last November These claims of Bitcoin supply shocks have been published again and again since before the blackrock ETF. Not going to happen

It almost feels like BTC and ETH are no longer moving in parallel but in resonance — each wave amplifying the other. The ETF flows are more than just demand injections — they’re structural shifts, pulling coins off exchanges and locking them into vehicles that don’t easily release liquidity back into the market. The result is a supply dynamic that compounds over time — fewer circulating assets, stronger reflexivity, sharper price responses. BTC legitimizes ETH — ETH validates the broader digital asset thesis — and together they form a feedback loop that strengthens the entire ecosystem. In this framing, ETFs aren’t just investment products — they’re feedback engines, accelerating the convergence of centralized capital markets with decentralized monetary networks.

If it can get some ETF inflows going before the bear I think ada will surprise a lot of people.

It really does feel like BTC and ETH are feeding off each other’s momentum right now. BTC blazed the trail with ETFs, and ETH seems to be replaying that same arc — only faster. What’s interesting is the supply squeeze dynamic for ETH. If ETF inflows keep absorbing coins while exchange balances keep dropping, we could see upward pressure that surprises even the bullish analysts. Feels like we might be entering an era where BTC and ETH ETFs aren’t just competing… they’re actually creating a feedback loop that benefits both.

tldr; Ether (ETH) queued for unstaking has reached a record $3.8 billion, with major contributions from platforms like Lido, EthFi, and Coinbase. This surge, alongside a 140% increase in strategic reserves and ETF holdings since May, reflects growing institutional interest. While the high unstaking queue could signal profit-taking, it may also indicate liquidity reshuffling ahead of potential ETH staking ETFs. Ether's price faces critical support at $4,200, with risks of liquidation if it falls below this level. The market remains volatile amid inflation concerns and institutional dynamics. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

finally outflow from ETH ETF

Rickard403

Based purely on the graph, I don't believe we will see a true supply shock this year. And if we see a bear market in 2026, it could take several years. 1,150,000 BTC available? At these prices that'll take a while to get bought up even through the ETF's and with institutions buying.

If your FA wants you to sell your BTC, then he is not very well diversified as a FA! A good FA respects crypto and depending how much BTC you own and your age, I would tell you hold the bulk of it, if in a good profit. Sell some for BTC ETF and spread into a few ETH ETF. Then hold the balance in SOL and XRP enter into SOL and XRP ETF later this year when they come to market.

Not an ETF. Its an ETN which is basically paper bitcoin. Id stick with MSTR as their shares are backed by real BTC

VonnyVonDoom

No we don’t. If we get a true bear market and Saylor is debt to hodl glitch + ETF outflows then maybe.

xlvi_et_ii

It's equally likely that the average /r/bitcoin user doesn't know what an ETF is useful for.... Just browse the replies anytime someone mentions the BTC ETF's for the "NoT yOUr KeYs NoT yOUr cOIns" comments.

ETF was filed.

Brettanomyces78

On the contrary, I think most people with money to invest have a brokerage account and know how to buy an ETF.

Normies don't actually have a clue WTF an ETF is...

Get them shares of a Bitcoin ETF like FBTC.

tldr; Ethereum ETFs have outpaced Bitcoin ETFs in inflows for five consecutive days, with $3.37 billion in Ethereum ETF inflows compared to $966 million for Bitcoin ETFs. This trend is attributed to significant corporate accumulation of Ethereum, driven by its smart contract capabilities, staking features, and diverse earning opportunities. Analysts suggest Ethereum's price could rise significantly, potentially reaching $10,000 this cycle, though risks like market corrections and retail profit-taking remain. Institutional demand is expected to sustain momentum. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

XRP Tops Grayscale’s Weekly Rankings | 9.7% Weekly Surge: XRP Outshines Bitcoin & Ethereum in Grayscale’s Snapshot XRP just pulled off a **#1 ranking** in Grayscale’s weekly crypto snapshot—outperforming every top-10 asset with a **9.7% surge** (July 31–Aug 7). But here’s what’s *really* interesting: **Why It’s Happening:** * **Legal tailwinds**: The Ripple-SEC case’s resolution continues to fuel trader confidence, with XRP bouncing between **$3.10–$3.30** during the rally. * **Institutional muscle**: Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) includes XRP alongside BTC/ETH, signaling growing institutional credibility. **The Catch:** * **Short-term momentum ≠ long-term trend**. Weekly snapshots are fickle—XRP needs **sustained volume** and macro support to stay on top. * **Profit-taking risk**: The token’s 16% weekly gain (as of Aug 9) already saw a 5% pullback, showing how quickly sentiment can flip. **Bigger Picture:** Grayscale’s stamp of approval matters, but XRP’s real test is **breaking past $3.33 resistance** and holding as ETF chatter grows. For now, it’s a win—one that proves XRP can still **punch above its weight**. **Always read the full article for better understanding!** Source: [Times Tabloid](https://timestabloid.com/xrp-hits-remarkable-height-on-grayscale/) *Writer: Zaccheaus Ogunjobi*

Market's on a knife's edge. ETH's tight supply and ETF inflows make $4,800 a breakout to watch. BTC holding 117k could spark a rally. Stablecoin volume on Ethereum’s network is a quiet bullish signal. Feels like a big move’s brewing, with fundamentals favoring upside.
