Singapore, Singapore, August 28th, 2025 Multipli , a real-yield protocol backed by Pantera Capital and Sequoia, today announced it has raised $5 million in new capital , bringing its total funding to $21.5 million. The figure includes a strategic reallocation of $16.5 million from the team’s previous venture, Brine Fi, now fully dedicated to Multipli’s new direction. The extension round will accelerate the expansion of Multipli’s institutional-grade yield products for native crypto assets like Bitcoin and tokenized gold, which traditionally generate minimal returns in DeFi. Unlocking Yield on Dormant Crypto Assets Multipli addresses a critical inefficiency in cryptocurrency markets: over 90% of native assets such as Bitcoin, XRP, and tokenized gold currently earn less than 1% APY in DeFi protocols. The platform offers access to tokenized delta-neutral hedge fund strategies from top-tier asset managers (including Nomura, Fasanara, and Edge Capital) which have traditionally been difficult for most investors to access due to high investment minimums, complex and lengthy onboarding processes, and extended redemption cycles that often leave funds locked up for significant periods. The protocol has achieved a peak of ~$95 million in total value locked since its mainnet launch weeks ago, establishing it as the fastest-growing yield protocol on BNB Chain according to DeFiLlama data. Users can currently earn 6% APY on wrapped Bitcoin (and 10-15% on stables), significantly outperforming the industry average of less than 1% for non-yielding assets. “We’re partnering with some of the world’s top hedge funds to tokenize their delta-neutral strategies—making them accessible to anyone holding stablecoins, BTC, or even tokenized gold. This raise lets us scale faster, offering real yield without lockups, and bridging institutional finance with the speed and composability of DeFi,” said Shaaran LB, CEO and Co-founder of Multipli. Institutional Partnerships Drive Real Yield Innovation Unlike protocols that rely on token incentives or unsustainable farming mechanisms, Multipli generates returns through established financial strategies, including contango trading, basis arbitrage, and Treasury operations. The platform partners with institutional asset managers to tokenize these strategies, creating liquid and composable yield products that maintain regulatory compliance. “At Multipli, we’re building the financial rails for a new era of programmable yield—where any asset, from stablecoins to BTC and even tokenised gold, can generate sustainable, risk-adjusted returns” said Nakul Gupta , Chief Business Officer (ex Coinbase, PayPal) The new funding will support expansion beyond Bitcoin and tokenized gold to include additional assets like XRP, tokenized silver by Q4 2025. Multipli also plans to launch impermanent loss protection for liquidity providers and scale partnerships with institutional firms, including Fasanara Capital and Spartan Capital. Bridging Traditional Finance and DeFi Infrastructure Multipli's approach represents a shift toward sustainable yield generation in DeFi, moving beyond inflationary reward models toward risk-adjusted returns backed by institutional-grade strategies. The platform provides same-day liquidity and full transparency through APIs, eliminating the lengthy redemption cycles and complex onboarding processes typical of traditional hedge funds. The protocol's architecture enables sophisticated investors to access previously gated strategies while allowing funds to tokenize their units and deploy yield-bearing derivatives across DeFi protocols for enhanced liquidity and composability. Founded by early Ethereum contributors and former executives from Coinbase, PayPal, and JPMorgan, Multipli has received backing from Binance Labs after winning the fourth edition of the Binance Incubation Program. The company's investor base includes Pantera Capital, Sequoia, and Elevation Capital. About Multipli Multipli is a real-yield protocol that unlocks superior, risk-adjusted returns on assets that typically don't generate yield, including Bitcoin, tokenized gold, and XRP, alongside stablecoins. Backed by Pantera, Sequoia, and Elevation Capital, the platform has raised $21.5M million and achieved $95 million in TVL within weeks of its mainnet launch.

Ethereum has once again overtaken Bitcoin in the competition for institutional attention, with Spot Ethereum ETFs recording larger inflows than their Bitcoin counterparts in the past few days. This trend might be building up another chapter in the growing debate over whether Ethereum is on track to start outperforming Bitcoin in terms of price action, which might lead to another altcoin season this cycle. Ethereum ETF Inflows Surpass Bitcoin Once Again Data from ETF trackers show that Ethereum funds have been posting stronger inflows than Bitcoin ETFs across several sessions in recent days. According to data from Farside Investors, US-based Spot Ethereum ETFs captured around $307.2 million in net inflows on August 27, bringing the total cummulative netflow to $13.64 billion. Related Reading: BlackRock’s Crypto Holdings Balloon As Bitcoin, Ethereum Reach For New ATHs — Here Are The Numbers The bulk of these inflows came from BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), which attracted $262.6 million on the day, while Fidelity’s FETH added $20.5 million. By contrast, Spot Bitcoin ETFs based in the US managed to attract just $81.4 million in net inflows. The ETF inflows in the past 24 hours are not an isolated occurrence. Ethereum has now outpaced Bitcoin inflows across multiple consecutive trading days to give a glimpse into institutional sentiment toward the second-largest cryptocurrency. For example, August 26 was highlighted by a $455 million inflow into Spot Ethereum ETFs, compared to $88.1 million into Spot Bitcoin ETFs. The previous day (August 25) saw a similar pattern, with $443.9 million directed into Ethereum funds versus $219.1 million into Bitcoin. The surge in Ethereum inflows can be traced back to the middle of July, when Spot Ethereum ETFs first surpassed Bitcoin’s daily inflows. During that period, ETH funds brought in $603 million on July 17, compared with Bitcoin’s $522 million, to establish a precedent that appears to be repeating. Will Ethereum Outperform Bitcoin This Cycle? The recent trend of Ethereum ETFs outperforming their Spot Bitcoin ETFs is sure to resonate well with many Ethereum proponents, who are awaiting a full-blown altcoin season led by the leading altcoin. However, the important question is whether Ethereum’s recent momentum can translate into long-term outperformance of Bitcoin. Related Reading: Machine Learning Algorithm Predicts Ethereum Price Will Cross $9,000, Here’s When Alongside the divergence in ETF flows, the price action of Ethereum and Bitcoin has also highlighted their contrasting trajectories in recent days. Ethereum has been trading with stronger upside pressure and less downside pressure, which allowed it to reach a new all-time high of $4,946 on August 24. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,616 after testing an intraday high near $4,658 and a session low of $4,473. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is steady but showing less upward momentum. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $113,100 after trading between roughly $110,465 and $113,332 on the day, which keeps its price movement tilted more towards the downside.

Unknown block type "divider", specify a component for it in the `components.types` option Sectors Beyond Bitcoin: Ethereum, Solana and On-Chain Economies Bitcoin may dominate the crypto conversation as the most established digital asset, but today’s landscape presents many compelling opportunities to investors. Outside of Bitcoin, blockchains power applications that delight global users, generate meaningful revenues, and are growing impressively. Bringing Global Finance On-Chain Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) refer to the issuance and trading of traditional instruments like stocks, bonds, commodities, and alternative assets on blockchains. The perks of doing so are substantial. Settling asset trades on-chain is nearly instantaneous; anyone, anywhere can participate (if the issuer allows it), and transactions are transparent, making them easier to track and automate. Today, nearly $300 billion in tokenized assets are on-chain. Boston Consulting Group predicts the market will reach $600 billion by the end of the year and $19 trillion by 2030. Recent RWA deployments are showcasing blockchains’ potential to transform traditional markets. In bridging traditional assets and on-chain use, blockchains act as marketplaces, with typical “chicken and egg” dynamics. Namely, issuers want to go where the active users are, and users flock to the site of the new and best products. Ethereum was the natural starting point. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT first launched there, giving Ethereum the deepest pool of tokenized dollars and the majority of today’s on-chain RWA value. Solana is a top contender for RWA activity, and recent launches showcase blockchains’ potential to swiftly transform traditional markets. Kamino Finance, Solana’s leading borrowing and lending application, enables users to easily borrow against their holdings in xStocks, tokenized stocks of Apple, Tesla, and other companies. Since xStocks launched across blockchains on June 30, Solana has accounted for an average of approximately 93% of daily trading volume . On-chain stock token volume by blockchain | Source: Dune Analytics Solana’s dominance in global developer activity and active users (more than double that of the next chain) gives it an edge in courting asset issuers, while successfully onboarding them and unveiling new on-chain products will reinforce this activity. More broadly, DeFi continues to grow, with greater diversity in on-chain products and institutional-grade offerings. Catering to sophisticated portfolios, builders work on products that integrate stablecoins, RWAs, and / or yield mechanics to create appeal to different risk preferences. Ethereum currently leads the sector, with over $94 billion in total value locked (TVL) and thousands of protocols. While retaining the industry’s deepest liquidity is an advantage, there’s more to DeFi than TVL. The Solana DeFi protocol's total value locked (TVL) recently surpassed approximately $10 billion. In a sign that the TVL reflects real and valuable use, Solana’s applications collectively earn more on-chain fee revenue than all other chains combined. Thanks to its speed and low costs, solana has established itself as DeFi’s active trading hub and consistently leads ether in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volumes. Beyond bitcoin’s crypto role as “digital gold,” both the Ethereum and Solana blockchains have emerged as core digital infrastructure, each with distinct advantages. Ethereum is the original open computer, where builders first coded decentralized applications and foundational institutional projects launched. Solana’s DeFi momentum is building. It’s the most used chain in the world already, and a hotbed for innovative DeFi products. Like Ethereum’s native ETH token, Solana’s SOL offers broad exposure to the ecosystem, meaning investors don’t need to pick individual application winners; instead, they can participate in the overall growth. Ethereum and Solana’s long-term success depends on their being home to applications that deliver real value and, ultimately, disrupt legacy financial systems. If they can pull that off, then today’s prices may look like attractive entry points. - Samantha Bohbot, partner and chief growth officer, RockawayX Unknown block type "divider", specify a component for it in the `components.types` option Ask an Expert Q. One year into the institutional investments in the crypto ETFs trend, how are Canadian banks and pension funds approaching bitcoin? A. This quarter's 13F filings reveal that Montreal-based Trans-Canada Capital has made notable investments in digital assets. It manages the pension assets for Air Canada, as one of the largest corporate pension plans in the country. The pension fund added $55 million in a spot bitcoin ETF. Institutional adoption of bitcoin has accelerated over the past year, driven by clearer regulatory guidance, the launch of spot ETFs and increasing recognition of bitcoin as a strategic asset. Schedule 1 banks in Canada are holding more than $139 million in bitcoin exchange-traded funds, underscoring growing institutional demand and long-term positioning. Q. How might institutional accumulation affect bitcoin’s market dynamics? A. Last year, ETFs purchased approximately 500,000 bitcoin, while the network produced 164,250 new bitcoin through its proof-of-work consensus. This means ETF demand alone was three times the newly minted supply. Additionally, public and private corporations purchased 250,000 bitcoins. As governments consider including bitcoin in their strategic reserves, other entities are exploring the addition of bitcoin to their corporate treasuries. Q. How will the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) greenlighting retail access to crypto ETNs in the U.K. accelerate the retail & institutional adoption? A. This marks an important moment for crypto products in the retail market as an asset class that reflects a broader shift in the U.K.’s regulatory stance toward digital assets. It is a complete reversal from a 2020 decision when the FCA banned crypto exchange-traded notes. ETNs will need to be traded on an FCA-approved investment exchange. The U.K. is shifting its approach to crypto as the government seeks to grow the economy and support a digital assets industry, sending a strong signal to institutional investors that the U.K. is positioning itself as a competing player in the global crypto market. - Kevin Tam, digital asset research specialist Unknown block type "divider", specify a component for it in the `components.types` option Keep Reading ETH reached a new all-time high on Sunday, Aug. 24, touching $4900.

BitcoinWorld Bitcoin Undervalued: JPMorgan Predicts Explosive Upside Potential Against Gold The financial world is buzzing with a fascinating insight from one of its giants. JPMorgan, a leading global financial institution, has recently assessed that Bitcoin is undervalued when compared to traditional safe-haven assets like gold. This isn’t just a casual observation; it’s a deep dive into market dynamics suggesting significant upside potential for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Why is Bitcoin Undervalued , According to JPMorgan? JPMorgan’s analysis points to a crucial factor: Bitcoin’s dramatically reduced volatility. This shift is making the digital asset far more attractive to institutional investors who typically shy away from extreme price swings. Consider these key observations: Bitcoin’s six-month rolling volatility has plummeted from approximately 60% at the beginning of the year to a remarkable record low of about 30%. This significant reduction in price fluctuation signals a maturing asset, drawing in more conservative capital. This change in volatility is a game-changer. It means Bitcoin is behaving less like a speculative gamble and more like a stable investment, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the crypto world. Comparing Apples to Gold: Bitcoin’s Price Potential JPMorgan didn’t stop at just identifying the reduced volatility. They went further, comparing Bitcoin’s current valuation directly against gold. When adjusted for this lower volatility, Bitcoin’s market capitalization should realistically be 13% higher than its current standing. What does this mean for its price? The bank’s calculations imply a potential price target of around $126,000 for Bitcoin. Currently, they estimate Bitcoin is undervalued by approximately $16,000 relative to gold. This significant discount highlights a clear opportunity for appreciation, suggesting that the market has not yet fully priced in its newfound stability. Therefore, investors who are looking at long-term value might see this as a compelling entry point, especially given Bitcoin’s growing acceptance and integration into broader financial systems. Unlocking Growth: Passive Inflows and Institutional Adoption Beyond volatility and direct comparison to gold, JPMorgan also highlighted another powerful catalyst for Bitcoin’s future growth: passive capital inflows. These inflows are not just speculative trading but rather systemic additions to Bitcoin’s demand. How do these inflows work? Publicly traded companies that hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets are increasingly being added to stock indices. When these companies join indices, index funds and other institutional investors automatically purchase their shares, indirectly increasing exposure to Bitcoin. This creates a steady, ‘passive’ demand for Bitcoin, independent of direct crypto market speculation. This mechanism underscores a fundamental shift: Bitcoin is moving from a niche asset to one that is becoming integrated into mainstream investment portfolios, driven by traditional financial structures. This makes the case for Bitcoin undervalued even stronger. Navigating the Investment Landscape: What’s Next for Bitcoin? The insights from JPMorgan offer a compelling narrative for Bitcoin’s trajectory. The combination of decreased volatility, a significant valuation gap against gold, and growing institutional integration paints a picture of an asset poised for substantial growth. For investors, this analysis provides several key takeaways: Benefit: Potential for significant capital appreciation as the market corrects Bitcoin’s current undervaluation. Opportunity: Reduced volatility could attract a wider range of institutional and retail investors seeking more stable crypto exposure. Indicator: The growing inclusion of Bitcoin-holding companies in stock indices signals a maturation and broader acceptance of the asset class. While the path to $126,000 might not be linear, the fundamental drivers outlined by JPMorgan suggest a strong foundation for future price discovery. Understanding why Bitcoin is undervalued is crucial for making informed decisions. In summary, JPMorgan’s detailed assessment provides a robust argument for Bitcoin’s potential. By highlighting its reduced volatility, significant undervaluation relative to gold, and the impactful role of passive capital inflows, the bank paints a clear picture of an asset ripe for appreciation. This analysis reinforces the idea that Bitcoin is evolving, moving beyond its early speculative phase to become a more mature and attractive investment vehicle for a diverse range of portfolios. The future looks bright for Bitcoin undervalued . Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What does JPMorgan mean by ‘Bitcoin is undervalued’? A1: JPMorgan’s analysis suggests that when adjusting for Bitcoin’s significantly reduced volatility, its market capitalization and price should be higher relative to gold, indicating it’s currently trading below its fair value. Q2: How does Bitcoin’s volatility impact its appeal to institutional investors? A2: Lower volatility makes Bitcoin more appealing to institutional investors because it reduces the risk associated with large price swings, making it a more predictable and stable asset for their portfolios. Q3: What price target does JPMorgan suggest for Bitcoin? A3: JPMorgan’s volatility-adjusted calculations imply a potential price of around $126,000 for Bitcoin, indicating it is currently undervalued by approximately $16,000 relative to gold. Q4: How do passive capital inflows benefit Bitcoin’s value? A4: Passive capital inflows occur when publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin are added to stock indices. This prompts index funds to buy their shares, indirectly increasing demand and investment in Bitcoin, providing a steady upward pressure on its value. Q5: Is Bitcoin expected to replace gold as a store of value? A5: While JPMorgan’s analysis compares Bitcoin to gold, it doesn’t explicitly state it will replace gold. Instead, it highlights Bitcoin’s increasing maturity and attractiveness as a comparable, albeit digital, store of value, suggesting it could become a significant alternative or complement.

Ethereum roadmap has cleared the $4,000 and $4,800 targets, confirming a shift from accumulation to expansion with strong momentum and institutional buying; market signals now point toward a potential move
Tether, the world’s leading stablecoin issuer, has partnered with the team behind the RGB Protocol to deploy USD₮ on the Bitcoin-based protocol. Both are active contributors to the Liquid Network’s open-source community, and this collaboration marks a significant step toward combining Bitcoin’s robust base-layer security with Tether’s proven stability. The move offers the first hope of combining Bitcoin’s base layer security with Tether’s proven stability. It unlocks the potential for payments, remittances, and creative financial cooperation worldwide. Mainnet for RGB came this year when the project rolled out its 0.11.1 release. The protocol was designed to take Bitcoin beyond its store of value use case. It enables confidential, scalable, and user-controlled asset issuance, thus opening the doors for friction-free trading of any asset on chain, such as stablecoins like USD₮ to work directly off the bitcoin blockchain. RGB brings USDT to Bitcoin with Lightning support With the deployment of USDT on RGB, supporters of stablecoins will be able to access Bitcoin without having to depend on other blockchains. Investors can directly hold and send USDT alongside their Bitcoin using the same wallet. This complete user experience means stablecoins and BTC can coexist, reinforcing Bitcoin’s position not just as a store of value but as a working payment network. RGB’s unique architecture, which uses client-side validation, makes this possible. Unlike traditional beacon chains, where every transaction is recorded publicly on-chain—raising concerns around privacy, scalability, and fees—RGB validates transactions privately on the user’s device. Only the involved parties maintain and verify the data, while the Bitcoin blockchain acts as a settlement layer, anchoring proofs of transaction validity. Since RGB doesn’t require every transaction to be made public, it prevents blockchain bloating, reduces costs, and puts control of financial data back into the hands of users. This design also brings stronger privacy to those achieved by other stablecoin issuing mechanisms on chains like Ethereum or Tron, where transaction history is fully transparent. Another huge benefit of RGB is that it works with the Lightning Network , Bitcoin’s most adopted scaling solution. Lightning permits fast and cheap payments by establishing off-chain payment channels that settle back onto Bitcoin only when required. Thanks to this solution, USD₮ transactions can be extremely fast, efficient, and highly scalable. This paves the way for micropayments, cross-border remittances, and online retail transactions — all denominated in a stable dollar value. Perhaps most striking, RGB can accommodate offline transactions. This is very useful in places with restricted or unreliable internet access. USD₮ on RGB allows individuals to send and receive value without constant connectivity, bringing a lifeline for communities often left behind by digital finance. Tether empowers Bitcoin to drive everyday payments Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the launch marked an important step in offering exchanges an alternative to Tether, adding that Bitcoin deserved a stablecoin that was intuitive, lightweight, private, and scalable. He noted that RGB gives USDT a strong new pathway on Bitcoin, reinforcing confidence in Bitcoin as the future of a free financial world. The announcement also emphasises Tether’s belief in Bitcoin in the long term. While USDT has already been issued on Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and Avalanche, bringing it to Bitcoin via RGB represents a symbolic return to the blockchain where it all began. For Bitcoin, this marks a shift in perception. Once dismissed as speculative digital “tulip bulbs,” it is increasingly recognized as mainstream digital gold—secure and reliable, yet historically limited for everyday payments. With USD₮ on RGB, users can now not only store value in Bitcoin wallets but also spend it swiftly, privately, and securely. Experts suggest this could further cement Bitcoin’s role in global finance. RGB positions Bitcoin as a central hub for the digital economy by reducing dependence on other blockchains for stablecoins. Get up to $30,050 in trading rewards when you join Bybit today
