In that light, frictions such as exit delays serve as safeguards.</p><p>“An army cannot hold together if any percent of it can suddenly leave at any time,” he wrote, stressing that Ethereum’s reliability depends on ensuring validators cannot abandon their role instantaneously.</p><p>However, Buterin conceded that the current design is not perfect. Nevertheless, he argued:</p><blockquote><p>“That’s not to say that the current staking queue design is optimal, rather that if you reduce the constants naively then that makes the chain much less trustworthy from the PoV of any node that does not go online very frequently.”</p></blockquote><p>Buterin’s remarks echoed the perspective of Sreeram Kannan, founder of restaking protocol <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/eigenlayer/">EigenLayer</a>.</p><p>In his own <a href="https://x.com/sreeramkannan/status/1968350778697142521?s=46">post</a> on Sept. 17, Kannan described Ethereum’s prolonged exit period as “a conservative parameter” that acts as a vital security measure.</p><p>He explained that the wait time protects against worst-case scenarios, such as coordinated validator attacks where participants might attempt to exit before facing slashing penalties.</p><p>Considering this, Kannan warned:</p><blockquote><p>“Unstaking cannot be instantaneous.”</p></blockquote><p>He continued that shortening the process to a matter of days could expose Ethereum to attacks that drain its security assumptions.</p><p>By contrast, the longer window allows for detecting and punishing malicious behavior such as double-signing. This design ensures that misbehaving validators cannot easily escape accountability.</p><p>Kannan highlighted that this buffer allows inactive nodes to reconnect and periodically validate the correct fork. He argued that competing forks could each claim to be valid without such a mechanism, leaving offline nodes unable to determine the truth when rejoining.</p><p>He concluded:</p><blockquote><p>“Instead of having a fixed long unstaking period, ethereum engineered its exit queue to be instantaneous if only a small amount of stake withdrew in a given period. But if lot of stake wants to withdraw the queue builds up – worst case to several months.”</p></blockquote><p>This strong defense comes at a time when <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/ethereum-staking-exit-wait-balloons-to-43-days/">Ethereum’s exit queue</a> has hit historic highs.</p><p><a href="https://www.validatorqueue.com/">Data</a> from the Ethereum Validators Queue shows that the unstaking backlog now spans 43 days, with over 2.48 million ETH, valued at approximately $11.3 billion, awaiting withdrawal.</p><h6>Mentioned in this article</h6></div><p></p></body><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/ethereum-co-founder-vitalik-buterin-defends-prolonged-staking-exit-queue/">Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin defends prolonged staking exit queue</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41180</post-id> </item> <item> <title>After USDT’s global victory Circle’s USDC battles Tether’s USAT in $650B USA showdown</title> <link>https://bitcoinnewses.com/after-usdts-global-victory-circles-usdc-battles-tethers-usat-in-650b-usa-showdown/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rover Jones]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2025 14:14:01 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News & Events]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bitcoinnewses.com/after-usdts-global-victory-circles-usdc-battles-tethers-usat-in-650b-usa-showdown/</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>There’s little doubt that Tether has conquered the world with USDT.

With a market cap of $171 billion, it outpaces <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/cryptos/stablecoin/">all other stablecoins combined.</a></p><p>Earlier this month, Tether <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/tether-launches-compliant-usat-stablecoin-under-new-leadership/">introduced</a> a new U.S. dollar stablecoin, USA₮, to compete with <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/usd-coin">USDC</a> in the domestic market under U.S. law.</p><p>The company named Bo Hines to lead its U.S. unit and build issuance and custody around Anchorage Digital and Cantor Fitzgerald, a move disclosed after Congress enacted a federal framework for fiat-referenced tokens.</p><p>USA₮, or USAT, is designed to meet the new regime’s reserve and disclosure requirements. The legislative backdrop arrived on July 18 when the GENIUS Act was <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/trump-signs-genius-act-into-law-activating-americas-first-regulatory-framework-for-stablecoins/">signed</a>, setting monthly reserve attestations, high-quality liquid asset backing, and clear supervisory lanes for both bank and qualified non-bank issuers.</p><p>The competitive field tightened further after Circle completed an initial public offering that raised about <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/circle-raises-1-05-billion-230325081.html">$1.05 billion</a>, with shares priced at $31.</p><h2>The near-term contest now centers on onshore distribution and reserve income</h2><p>U.S. merchants and payment processors want tokens that fit cleanly within money-movement and treasury policies. This means monthly reserve certifications, bankruptcy-remote structures, and straightforward redemption mechanics.</p><p>The GENIUS Act bans issuer-paid yield, which puts the commercial model on a float scale and operating efficiency.</p><p>Circle’s structure routes most reserves into BlackRock’s Circle Reserve Fund, a money-market-style vehicle invested in short-dated Treasuries and repurchase agreements, while Tether has reported a <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/tether-reports-5-7-billion-profit-amid-record-127-billion-us-treasury-investments/">large U.S. Treasury footprint</a> that has grown with stablecoin demand.</p><p>Stablecoin transfer <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/stablecoin-volume-outpaced-mastercard-paypal-in-2022-as-digital-payments-wars-loom/">volumes</a> reached multi-trillion levels this year, reminding treasurers that liquidity and chain coverage now matter as much as brand.</p><p>Policy harmonization outside the U.S. will shape merchant access. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority closed its consultation on issuance and custody in July, with the Bank of England considering caps on systemic holdings. Per the FCA consultation <a href="https://www.fca.org.uk/publications/consultation-papers/cp25-14-stablecoin-issuance-cryptoasset-custody">CP25/14</a>, authorization, safeguarding, and disclosure are set to tighten in parallel with central bank oversight.</p><p>Hong Kong’s licensing regime took effect on August 1 under the HKMA, and Singapore’s MAS framework for single-currency stablecoins already prescribes reserve composition, capital, and five-day par redemptions.</p><p>A U.S. coin that fits GENIUS rules, a UK coin that meets FCA and BoE requirements, and an MAS-labeled instrument create a pathway for issuers to distribute across major financial hubs without bespoke workarounds.</p><h2>Payments rails will be the practical governor of share capture through 2027</h2><p>Visa has expanded stablecoin settlement to additional networks and to EURC, a step that helps issuers reach acquirers and cross-border payouts with less friction. PayPal extended PYUSD to Arbitrum and outlined Stellar plans, which shows how processors can pull settlement off congested chains when throughput and fees matter for merchant experience.</p><p>Distribution through wallets, acquirers, and card networks puts a premium on integration speed, reporting, fraud tooling, and fiat off-ramps, not only on the unit economics of reserve yields.</p><p>Monthly volumes in USDT and USDC already rival major electronic payment corridors, so small checkout routing or payment settlement improvements can shift token preference in merchant flows.</p><p>The onshore float that fits the U.S. framework will set the scoreboard for the next two years, and the numbers drive clear ranges.</p><p>A base case assumes $400 billion of U.S. onshore stablecoins by late 2026 and $650 billion by late 2027.</p><p>In that path, USDC holds 60 to 65 percent of the onshore pool as a public issuer with established bank and fintech integrations, while USAT reaches 20 to 25 percent as U.S. listings, custody, and settlement partners come online.</p><p>An upside path for Tether lifts the onshore pool to $450 billion by 2026 and $750 billion by 2027, with USAT rising to 30 to 35 percent if Anchorage and Cantor-linked plumbing accelerates adoption in U.S. venues.</p><p>A more conservative path for Tether and faster bank adoption of USDC will push USDC to a 70 to 75% share of a smaller $550 billion pool by 2027.</p><p>These are merchant and policy outcomes, not marketing narratives, and the driver is partner coverage across issuers, acquirers, and custodians.</p><table><thead><tr><th>Scenario</th><th>Onshore float 2026</th><th>Onshore float 2027</th><th>USDC share</th><th>USAT share</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Base</td><td>$400B</td><td>$650B</td><td>60–65%</td><td>20–25%</td></tr><tr><td>Aggressive USAT</td><td>$450B</td><td>$750B</td><td>45–55%</td><td>30–35%</td></tr><tr><td>USDC outperforms</td><td>$350B</td><td>$550B</td><td>70–75%</td><td>10–15%</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Reserves tell the macro story that sits underneath market share</h2><p>If U.S. onshore stablecoins reach one trillion dollars of float by 2027, the implied Treasury bill bid ranges from $600 billion to $900 billion, depending on whether issuers run 60 to 90 percent in bills.</p><p>The composition matters because front-end yields respond to large, persistent buyers. According to the Bank for International Settlements, strong net inflows to stablecoins have been associated with a modest fall in three-month bill yields over short windows, while outflows show larger adverse effects.</p><p>The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City has warned that an asset shift into bills can lower credit supply elsewhere, which introduces questions for bank funding models if stablecoins absorb deposits at scale.</p><table><thead><tr><th>Onshore float</th><th>60% in T-bills</th><th>75% in T-bills</th><th>90% in T-bills</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>$0.5T</td><td>$300B</td><td>$375B</td><td>$450B</td></tr><tr><td>$1.0T</td><td>$600B</td><td>$750B</td><td>$900B</td></tr><tr><td>$1.5T</td><td>$900B</td><td>$1.125T</td><td>$1.35T</td></tr></tbody></table><p>The U.S. law reframes how merchants and banks treat tokenized dollars. Monthly reserve disclosures and asset quality rules move these instruments near regulated cash equivalents in many treasurer policies, even as the law bans issuer yield.</p><p>That policy architecture favors issuers that already speak the language of attestation and custody segregation. It also gives U.S. banks and broker-dealers a clearer footing for custody and settlement services, which matters for U.S. exchanges, money transmitters, and fintech lenders that handle customer funds.</p><p>According to the FCA and HKMA outlines, similar directions are taking shape in the UK and Hong Kong, which could simplify cross-listing of compliant dollar tokens once licensing is granted.</p><h2>Market structure details will decide the next step</h2><p>Bank relationships determine where corporate treasurers hold working balances. Processor integrations determine which token a merchant sees at checkout.</p><p>Exchange and brokerage tools determine which stablecoin dominates retail balances in U.S. venues. Those practical steps tie back to reserves and disclosures, since issuers with transparent asset ladders, frequent attestations, and predictable redemption windows tend to pass compliance reviews with fewer exceptions.</p><p>Lender demand for tokenized dollars in repo and prime brokerage will add a separate use case that depends on settlement finality and counterparty rules.</p><p>The headline question is who wins a two-to-four trillion dollar market over the decade. The next two years will not answer that total addressable market number, however, they will lock in the first tier of onshore share.</p><p>USDC enters with a public company wrapper, embedded money-market structure, and established relationships across card networks, acquirers, and custodians.</p><p>USAT brings Tether’s liquidity footprint and a U.S. legal shell that meets the monthly-disclosure test, along with a buildout that includes Anchorage Digital and Cantor Fitzgerald.</p><p>The issuer configuration is set, and with the GENIUS Act in effect, implementation timelines now govern the pace.</p><h6>Mentioned in this article</h6></div><p></p></body><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/after-usdts-global-victory-circles-usdc-battles-tethers-usat-in-650b-usa-showdown/">After USDT’s global victory Circle’s USDC battles Tether’s USAT in $650B USA showdown</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41177</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Bitcoin’s cycle clock points to a final high by late October, will ETFs rewrite history?</title> <link>https://bitcoinnewses.com/bitcoins-cycle-clock-points-to-a-final-high-by-late-october-will-etfs-rewrite-history/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rover Jones]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:11:13 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News & Events]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bitcoinnewses.com/bitcoins-cycle-clock-points-to-a-final-high-by-late-october-will-etfs-rewrite-history/</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Bitcoin price trades near $117,000 after the Federal Reserve decision on interest rates, as the 1,065-day post-halving window</p><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/bitcoins-cycle-clock-points-to-a-final-high-by-late-october-will-etfs-rewrite-history/">Bitcoin’s cycle clock points to a final high by late October, will ETFs rewrite history?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<body><p></p><div id=""><div class="code-block code-block-16" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"><div style="width: 300px; height: 267px" class="stake-target casino hidden placement"> <a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://link.cryptoslate.com/stake_casino"><noscript></noscript><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="lazyload" width="600" height="500" style="width: 300px; height: 250px" src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/stake-Casino-Game-Creative_GIF-600x500-px.gif?resize=600%2C500&ssl=1" alt="Stake" loading="lazy"></a></div></div><p><a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin price</a> trades near $117,000 after the Federal Reserve decision on interest rates, as the 1,065-day post-halving window approaches.</p><p>The Fed cut rates by 25bps yesterday, placing Bitcoin’s near-term path at the intersection of policy and a cycle marker <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/09/16/bitcoin-price-pattern-halving">Axios</a> says has historically captured a “final high” roughly 1,065 days after a prior cycle low.</p><p>The test window runs through late September and early October, then the market will trade into Thanksgiving on flow, dollar, and rate dynamics that can either extend the advance or start the topping process that prior cycles paired with drawdowns of 40 to 60 percent, according to Axios.</p><p>Spot ETF demand is the first lever to watch because it turns the cycle into a flow problem. <span style="color: #333333;">According to CoinShares’ </span><a href="https://cryptoslate.com/bitcoin-etfs-attract-2-9-billion-in-fresh-capital/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest weekly fund-flow update,</a><span style="color: #333333;"> U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw renewed net inflows in late August and early September, measured in billions of dollars, while SoSoValue tracked a mid-September multi-session inflow streak with a single-day print of around $260 million on September 15.</span></p><p>Those figures contrast with the post-halving issuance of about 452 Bitcoin per day, calculated as 3.125 Bitcoin per block times roughly 144 blocks per day. When multi-day ETF demand absorbs several thousand Bitcoin per week, the market’s ability to distribute inventory at the highs narrows, and topping processes can lengthen into a plateau rather than a single peak.</p><h2>Macro conditions set the second lever.</h2><p>This month, the euro touched a four-year high against the dollar as cut expectations increased, while front-end Treasury yields eased into the meeting.</p><p>A softer dollar lowers global financial conditions and often correlates with higher beta across risk assets. At the same time, domestic inflation has cooled from last year’s pace, with August headline CPI at 2.5 percent year over year and core at 3.0 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.</p><p>The policy outcome will shape whether those tailwinds persist or fade. Throughout the rest of 2025, cuts with dovish language that emphasizes progress on inflation and downplays the need for quick reversals would support the dollar’s drift lower and extend the risk window.</p><p>Cuts that emphasizes vigilance on inflation and a limited runway for further easing would keep rates sticky and reduce the impulse. A no-cut outcome was a low-probability branch, yet it would have tightened financial conditions into quarter-end and left ETF demand to carry more of the load.</p><p>Mining economics frame how deeply price moves are transmitted to the supply side. Hashrate has hovered around 1.0 to 1.12 zettahash per second in recent weeks, with network difficulty near a record around 136 trillion, according to Hashrate Index tracking.</p><p>That backdrop keeps <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/bitcoin-hashrate-at-record-margins-pinched-will-miners-sell-or-pivot-amid-ai-power-land%e2%80%91grab/">hashprice</a> near 53 to 55 dollars per petahash per day, levels broadly consistent with Luxor’s spot readings this month. Because hashprice scales roughly with Bitcoin price and inversely with hashrate, bands for Q4 can be approximated by combining price paths with modest hashrate creep as new rigs energize. Fees remain a smaller component in the current lull, so price carries most of the signal into miner cash flow.</p><p>A simple baseline clarifies the inputs that feed scenario bands through Thanksgiving, November 27.</p><table><thead><tr><th>Baseline input</th><th>Value</th><th>Source or method</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Spot price anchor</td><td>~$116,000</td><td>Market level today</td></tr><tr><td>Implied volatility</td><td>~30–40% (near-dated)</td><td>Deribit DVOL context in early September</td></tr><tr><td>Issuance</td><td>~452 BTC/day</td><td>3.125 BTC subsidy × ~144 blocks</td></tr><tr><td>Hashrate</td><td>~1.0–1.1 ZH/s trending up</td><td>Hashrate Index</td></tr><tr><td>Hashprice</td><td>~$53–$55 per PH/day</td><td>Luxor-referenced spot</td></tr></tbody></table><p>With those inputs, the grid below lays out price and miner hashprice ranges into late November across policy tone and ETF flow states.

Per Business Insider’s breakdown of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fed-rate-cut-this-week-fomc-powell-stock-market-outlook-2025-9">meeting paths</a>, a dovish cut converts to an easier dollar backdrop and a steeper risk appetite curve, which historically pulls incremental demand into equities and crypto, while a hawkish cut narrows that curve and puts more weight on idiosyncratic flows.</p><p>A no-cut outcome would have tested the lower bands in the table since it removes the near-term easing impulse and tends to firm the dollar. The CPI profile reduces the need for restrictive surprises, according to the BLS figures, yet the chair’s emphasis on data dependence can keep rate-path uncertainty in the foreground even if a first cut arrives.</p><p>ETF flow streaks are the cleanest high-frequency metric to monitor against this policy backdrop. CoinShares’ weekly data provide size and regional composition, and SoSoValue’s daily tallies map whether the post-announcement sessions extend or fade the bid.</p><h2>Translating those numbers into supply absorption is straightforward</h2><p>At $115,000 to $120,000 per Bitcoin, one billion dollars of net inflow equates to roughly 8,300 to 8,700 Bitcoin. Weekly net inflows of $1.5 to $2.5 billion imply 13,000 to 21,000 Bitcoin, or roughly four to seven times weekly issuance.</p><p>Sustained ratios above one, even with moderate outflows on some days, build a structural cushion under spot that can pull realized volatility lower and compress the left tail in the upper grid cells.</p><p>Miner balance sheets turn from a trailing indicator to a stress indicator if price trades the lower bands. With difficulty near a record and electricity costs rising for some operators, the combination of price dips toward 95,000 dollars and steady hashrate would push hashprice into the low 40s per petahash per day.</p><p>That level typically reopens hedging activity and delayed capex rather than wholesale shutdowns, although company-level thresholds vary. According to <a href="https://data.hashrateindex.com/">Hashrate Index</a> updates on public miner expansions, capacity additions remain in the pipeline, so hashrate creep of 3 to 7 percent into November is a reasonable working assumption for the table above.</p><p>Through Thanksgiving, the narrative anchor remains the same.</p><p>The market is weighing a first policy cut that shapes the dollar and front-end rates, ETF net demand that either absorbs or releases supply relative to a 452-Bitcoin daily issuance, and an approaching 1,065-day cycle marker that Axios argues historically aligns with a final high and subsequent drawdown.</p><p>The window falls in late September and early October, then attention shifts to whether post-decision flows and macro conditions confirm or reject the cycle script.</p><h6>Mentioned in this article</h6></div><p></p></body><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/bitcoins-cycle-clock-points-to-a-final-high-by-late-october-will-etfs-rewrite-history/">Bitcoin’s cycle clock points to a final high by late October, will ETFs rewrite history?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41174</post-id> </item> <item> <title>DBS Bank to accept tokenized $736M fund for repo collateral as RLUSD goes live on DDEx</title> <link>https://bitcoinnewses.com/dbs-bank-to-accept-tokenized-736m-fund-for-repo-collateral-as-rlusd-goes-live-on-ddex/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rover Jones]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:09:25 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News & Events]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bitcoinnewses.com/dbs-bank-to-accept-tokenized-736m-fund-for-repo-collateral-as-rlusd-goes-live-on-ddex/</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Ripple is expanding its role in digital asset infrastructure through a new partnership with DBS Bank and Franklin</p><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/dbs-bank-to-accept-tokenized-736m-fund-for-repo-collateral-as-rlusd-goes-live-on-ddex/">DBS Bank to accept tokenized $736M fund for repo collateral as RLUSD goes live on DDEx</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<body><p></p><div id=""><div class="code-block code-block-16" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"><div style="width: 300px; height: 267px" class="stake-target casino hidden placement"> <a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://link.cryptoslate.com/stake_casino"><noscript></noscript><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="lazyload" width="600" height="500" style="width: 300px; height: 250px" src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/stake-Casino-Game-Creative_GIF-600x500-px.gif?resize=600%2C500&ssl=1" alt="Stake" loading="lazy"></a></div></div><p><a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/ripple/">Ripple</a> is expanding its role in digital asset infrastructure through a new partnership with <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/ethereum-lands-dbs-tokenized-notes-as-1000-units-rewrite-private-banking/">DBS Bank</a> and <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/franklin-templeton/">Franklin Templeton</a>, according to a Sept. 18 <a href="https://ripple.com/ripple-press/dbs-franklin-templeton-to-launch-trading-and-lending-solutions-tokenised-mmf-ripple-stablecoin-rlusd/">announcement</a>.</p><p>According to the firm, the collaboration introduces trading and lending tools built around tokenized collateral and stablecoins, marking a push to bridge traditional markets with blockchain-based liquidity.</p><p>The initiative is anchored on DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx), which will now list Ripple’s US dollar stablecoin (RLUSD) alongside sgBENJI, the tokenized version of Franklin Templeton’s OnChain US Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund.</p><p>This pairing allows institutional clients to exchange stable assets directly, providing both portfolio flexibility and yield opportunities not typically available in volatile crypto markets.</p><p>Instead of allocating funds to <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a>, <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/ethereum/">Ethereum</a>, or <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/xrp/">XRP</a>, where sharp price movements arguably erode value, clients can rotate into sgBENJI and maintain round-the-clock liquidity.</p><p>These firms’ executives have framed this development as a step forward in institutionalizing tokenized securities.</p><p>Ripple President Monica Long <a href="https://x.com/MonicaLongSF/status/1968492683569283284">noted</a> that tokenized assets must offer utility and liquid secondary markets to achieve their potential.

He added that such momentum could push XRP’s price toward the $4-$8 range by year-end.</p><p>According to him, this is similar to the early trajectory success of <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/ethereum-etfs-race-past-30-billion-with-307m-inflow-as-bitcoin-suffers-800m-outflow/">Ethereum ETFs</a>, which attracted record flows at launch.</p><p>Notably, <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/insights/bitcoin-etfs-lock-2-3b-in-inflows-as-btc-steadies-above-115k/">Bitcoin-focused funds</a> attracted more than $100 billion in assets within their first year of trading. In comparison, their <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/ethereum/">Ethereum</a> counterparts have seen over $10 billion in inflows within the last three months.</p><p>However, Elkaleh also warned that lingering regulatory delays or heightened market volatility could temper those projections.</p><h2>How ETF fees could impact flows</h2><p>On the other hand, analysts at Bitunix outlined a more scenario-based forecast where fees play a significant role in influencing the flows.</p><p>In their base case, the ETF could attract $500 million to $1.5 billion in its first month and $1–3 billion in the first quarter of trading.</p><p>Under a bearish setup, where fees are high or distribution channels are limited, inflows might shrink to as little as $200-500 million initially. Conversely, if fees remain low and brokerages offer wide access from day one, inflows could climb to $3-5 billion within three months.</p><p>The analysts explained that their projections are based on the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF launch data, which were adjusted for XRP’s smaller market position and liquidity structure.</p><p>They also pointed out that XRP lacks the “legacy trust redemption overhang” that constrained Bitcoin and Ethereum inflows, suggesting its early numbers may appear cleaner.</p><p>So, if the XRP ETF inflows capture even 2-6% of the circulating supply within the first quarter, this could lead to significant price appreciation for the digital token.</p><h6>Mentioned in this article</h6></div><p></p></body><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/xrp-etf-predicted-to-drive-8-billion-inflow/">XRP ETF predicted to drive $8 billion inflow</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41169</post-id> </item> <item> <title>CME Group targets institutional traders with new Solana and XRP options</title> <link>https://bitcoinnewses.com/cme-group-targets-institutional-traders-with-new-solana-and-xrp-options/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rover Jones]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2025 22:25:56 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News & Events]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bitcoinnewses.com/cme-group-targets-institutional-traders-with-new-solana-and-xrp-options/</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>CME Group announced it would launch options tied to Solana (SOL) and XRP futures by Oct. 13, according</p><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/cme-group-targets-institutional-traders-with-new-solana-and-xrp-options/">CME Group targets institutional traders with new Solana and XRP options</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<body><p></p><div id=""><div class="code-block code-block-16" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"><div style="width: 300px; height: 267px" class="stake-target casino hidden placement"> <a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://link.cryptoslate.com/stake_casino"><noscript></noscript><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="lazyload" width="600" height="500" style="width: 300px; height: 250px" src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/stake-Casino-Game-Creative_GIF-600x500-px.gif?resize=600%2C500&ssl=1" alt="Stake" loading="lazy"></a></div></div><p><a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/cme-group/">CME Group</a> announced it would launch options tied to <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/solana/">Solana (SOL)</a> and <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/xrp/">XRP</a> futures by Oct. 13, according to a Sept. 17 <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cme-group-to-launch-options-on-solana-and-xrp-futures-302558956.html">statement</a>.</p><p>According to the firm, the options product will be offered on standard and micro contracts for both tokens, with expiries available weekly throughout the year.</p><p>The exchange said these contracts are designed to meet growing demand from institutions and professional traders looking for tools beyond <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/ethereum/">Ethereum</a>.</p><p>Unlike its futures product, which binds traders to buy or sell at a set price on a future date, the options product provides investors with the right, but not the obligation, to enter into those contracts.

It also emphasized that the move is designed to improve governance and risk oversight while ensuring that Bitcoin operations deliver consistent cash flow.</p><p>Metaplanet’s chief executive, Simon Gerovich, highlighted the importance of this pivot, noting that the income unit has become a key driver of financial stability.</p><p>He <a href="https://x.com/gerovich/status/1968231248574415326">said</a>:</p><blockquote><p>“This business has become our engine of growth, generating consistent revenue and net income. We are cash flow positive, producing significant internal cash flow to support future initiatives.”</p></blockquote><h2>Bitcoin Japan</h2><p>Alongside its US expansion, Metaplanet has <a href="https://x.com/Metaplanet_JP/status/1968217720601887218">launched</a> a new subsidiary in Tokyo under the name Bitcoin Japan Inc. and secured the domain Bitcoin.jp.</p><p>The domain, acquired from a private investor who held it for over a decade, will be the foundation for multiple initiatives, including Bitcoin Magazine Japan, the Bitcoin Japan Conference, and future product launches.</p><p>The company said income streams from Bitcoin.jp will provide stable revenue to reinforce its treasury operations and fund new ventures. Although the domain will be booked as an intangible fixed asset, it will be amortized in line with accounting standards.</p><p>Gerovich described the acquisition as a milestone for the company’s positioning within Japan’s crypto landscape. He <a href="https://x.com/gerovich/status/1968229314325008872">noted</a>:</p><blockquote><p>“As Japan’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Company, we’re proud to be only the second owner of this iconic domain, unifying media, events, and services under one platform as we work with partners to accelerate Bitcoin adoption nationwide.”</p></blockquote><h2>Bitcoin acquisition dreams</h2><p>The establishment of these new subsidiaries follows the completion of the firm’s record-breaking $1.4 billion capital raise from foreign investors.</p><p>Gerovich <a href="https://x.com/gerovich/status/1968223337945153959">said</a> the firm’s fundraising attracted interest from “a world-class base of leading global institutional investors, including some of the largest mutual fund complexes, sovereign wealth funds, and hedge funds.”</p><p>According to him:</p><blockquote><p>“Nearly 100 investors joined our roadshow, many hearing the Metaplanet story for the first time. More than 70 ultimately invested, creating a truly global and long-term oriented shareholder base. This positions us to deepen relationships with leading institutions worldwide and build lasting support for our growth.”</p></blockquote><p>Metaplanet plans to direct a portion of the funds toward additional Bitcoin purchases. With 20,136 BTC already on its balance sheet, the company is the sixth-largest corporate holder of the asset.</p><p>However, its long-term ambition is to become the second-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, behind <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/microstrategy/">Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy)</a>. To achieve this aim, the Japan-based company must acquire at least 33,000 more BTC, enough to surpass Bitcoin miner <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/marathon-digital/">Marathon Digital</a>, which currently holds 52,477 BTC.</p><h6>Mentioned in this article</h6></div><p></p></body><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/metaplanets-1-4b-boost-sparks-us-and-japan-expansion/">Metaplanet’s $1.4B boost sparks US and Japan expansion</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41160</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Bitcoin price at a ‘hinge point’ as traders await Fed decision today</title> <link>https://bitcoinnewses.com/bitcoin-price-at-a-hinge-point-as-traders-await-fed-decision-today/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rover Jones]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2025 12:56:26 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[News & Events]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://bitcoinnewses.com/bitcoin-price-at-a-hinge-point-as-traders-await-fed-decision-today/</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Bitcoin climbed above $117,000 during the early trading hours today, its strongest level since early August, as traders</p><p>The post <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com/bitcoin-price-at-a-hinge-point-as-traders-await-fed-decision-today/">Bitcoin price at a ‘hinge point’ as traders await Fed decision today</a> appeared first on <a href="https://bitcoinnewses.com">Bitcoin News Simplified</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<body><p></p><div id=""><div class="code-block code-block-16" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"><div style="width: 300px; height: 267px" class="stake-target casino hidden placement"> <a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://link.cryptoslate.com/stake_casino"><noscript></noscript><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="lazyload" width="600" height="500" style="width: 300px; height: 250px" src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/stake-Casino-Game-Creative_GIF-600x500-px.gif?resize=600%2C500&ssl=1" alt="Stake" loading="lazy"></a></div></div><p><a href="https://cryptoslate.com/coins/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a> climbed above $117,000 during the early trading hours today, its strongest level since early August, as traders positioned around the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.</p><p>The outcome of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, due later today, will define the risk landscape for the rest of the year.</p><p>Market expectations of an easier monetary policy have fueled the latest momentum.</p><p>According to a <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/bitwise/">Bitwise</a> <a href="https://bitwiseinvestments.eu/blog/regular-updates/Bitwise_Crypto_Market_Compass_2025_38/">report</a>, softer US inflation readings have pushed futures markets to fully price in a quarter-point rate cut, with odds near 93% that cumulative cuts will reach 75 basis points before year-end.</p><p>As a result, the prospect of looser conditions has energized crypto markets, with Bitwise highlighting “a return to slightly bullish sentiment” as risk appetite in the market becomes more evident.</p><p>This position corroborates that of blockchain analysis platform Santiment, which noted that bullish optimism has surged on social channels like X.</p><p>Santiment <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1967883713653719183">noted</a> that bullish commentary now makes up 64% of all crypto discussions, its highest “crowd greed” reading since July.</p><figure id="attachment_498669" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-498669" style="width: 900px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-498669" src="https://i0.wp.com/cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/G09P-VEaYAAW3Q_.jpg?resize=640%2C358&ssl=1" alt="Bitcoin Bullish Sentiments" width="640" height="358" srcset="https://cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/G09P-VEaYAAW3Q_.jpg 900w, https://cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/G09P-VEaYAAW3Q_-300x168.jpg 300w, https://cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/G09P-VEaYAAW3Q_-768x430.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" loading="lazy"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-498669" class="wp-caption-text">Bitcoin Bullish Social Media Sentiments (Source: Santiment)</figcaption></figure><p>Moreover, stablecoin flows into exchanges also signal that real capital is on standby to capitalize on the market move.</p><p><a href="https://cryptoslate.com/companies/cryptoquant/">CryptoQuant</a> analyst Axel Adler <a href="https://x.com/AxelAdlerJr/status/1968255918342393972">reported</a> that about $9 billion worth of stablecoins have entered exchanges within the last 36 hours ahead of the impending Fed meeting.
