BlackRock continues to demonstrate its dominance in the cryptocurrency market with another day of nine-figure inflows. Namely, the world’s largest crypto fund added around $261 million worth of Ethereum ( ETH ), roughly 57,105 ETH, to its portfolio on August 27, according to data published by CoinGlass . On the same day, BlackRock bought an additional $52 million worth of Bitcoin ( BTC ), roughly 454 BTC in total. Altogether, Ethereum exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ) now hold approximately $30 billion in assets under management. Bitcoin ETFs , on the other hand, command north of $143 billion.

Indeed, institutional demand has accelerated sharply in 2025, the result being that corporate treasuries now hold around 5% of the total supply. BlackRock and Fidelity , for instance, reported a 65% surge in assets under management last quarter alone. Large-scale buying hasn’t been limited to funds, however, as whale wallets have seen record-breaking activity too, one address accumulating more or less $3 billion in a week after selling BTC to fund the purchase. The additional surge in appetite this month was in part due to the weakening of Bitcoin , which shifted attention toward Ethereum due to its yield potential. Buying has also coincided with a price increase, as the cryptocurrency now sits above its 20-day moving average of $4,468, trading at $4,597 at the time of writing. ETH price.

Forget pie-in-the-sky, this one’s high-stakes. “American Bitcoin” (ABTC) is moving to the public markets, not via a traditional IPO but through a go-public merger with Nasdaq-listed Gryphon Digital Mining, with trading targeted for early September . With Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. in the spotlight and heavyweight backing from Hut 8, crypto markets just got a political spark plug. And with all eyes on the American Bitcoin SPAC launch , traders are speculating whether this political-meets-crypto debut could be the most-watched Nasdaq listing of the year. “Quick note: while some outlets have casually called this a “ SPAC ,” the deal on file is an all-stock merger with an already-listed company (Gryphon), not a blank-check vehicle. That still creates an IPO-like on-ramp to Nasdaq for American Bitcoin under the ticker ABTC .” New #SEC S-3 Registration: American Bitcoin Corp.

American Bitcoin pitches itself as a Bitcoin accumulation and infrastructure platform – a miner and holder rolled into one designed to give public-equity investors a direct, regulated way to gain exposure to BTC via the stock market. The pathway: Gryphon Digital Mining will acquire American Bitcoin in a stock-for-stock merger; after closing, the combined company will keep the “American Bitcoin” name, with the ABTC Nasdaq listing set to create a regulated new channel for public investors seeking Bitcoin exposure. Corporate materials state that American Bitcoin’s management and board will lead the combined entity. American Bitcoin (ABTC): Next stop NASDAQ! pic.twitter.com/uhaJzV0vfz — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) August 7, 2025 The cap-table dynamics are striking. Securities filings and company announcements indicate former American Bitcoin shareholders are expected to own ~98% of the combined company, leaving legacy Gryphon holders with roughly 2% – an inversion that underscores how this is effectively American Bitcoin taking the public shell. Reporting also notes that Hut 8 , led by CEO Asher Genoot, is the largest investor, with an 80% stake in American Bitcoin, and that after the merger, the Trump sons and Hut 8 together would control a similar ~98% slice of the new entity. That level of concentration can cut both ways. On the one hand, a committed sponsor base can align incentives, simplify decision-making, and, at least initially, support the float. On the other, concentrated ownership often means limited free float and potential volatility around unlocks or future capital raises – issues public-market traders watch closely in newly listed crypto-adjacent equities.

Early Sep 2025 Expected first trading on Nasdaq under ticker ABTC , subject to approvals and closing. *All dates are targeted per public filings and reports; final timing depends on approvals and closing conditions. Political weight meets crypto utility Why does the political piece matter? Because brand and attention are forms of capital, especially in crypto. A Trump-backed, Trump-branded mining and accumulation play arrives with instant name recognition, guaranteed media cycles, and a built-in audience spanning supporters, critics, and the merely curious. That attention can translate into higher retail participation and liquidity at launch, but it also invites deeper policy scrutiny, conflicts-of-interest questions, and regulatory attention that few other crypto listings face. Major outlets have already framed the family’s expanding digital-asset footprint as part of a broader, pro-crypto platform from the White House, further intertwining market perception with politics. Compare that to prior “celebrity coins” and influencer-fronted projects. Most fizzled because the branding outran the utility: lots of sizzle, thin on rails. American Bitcoin is different in at least two ways. First, it’s a public-company wrapper on a power-and-hardware-intensive business (mining and balance-sheet BTC) rather than a pure token launch. Second, it’s stepping directly onto a major exchange – Nasdaq , which layers on disclosure obligations, audited financials, and market-structure visibility. That doesn’t immunize it from hype cycles, but it places ABTC inside the same reporting ecosystem as other listed miners and Bitcoin-exposed equities. What’s the crypto market saying? ABTC’s timing intersects with a still-hungry ETF era. After a mid-August wobble, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs just snapped a multi-day outflow streak with $219 million of net inflows led by Fidelity and BlackRock , a reminder that institutionally convenient wrappers continue to funnel capital into BTC on dips. Cumulative 2025 flows remain massive, and research shops still peg crypto ETPs as a primary bridge for mainstream investors. In short: the “pipes” are very much alive. BLACKROCK’s LARRY FINK: "Bitcoin ETF is the fastest-growing ETF in the history of ETFs." 🟧 pic.twitter.com/hTNKAZa14z — Bitcoin Archive (@BTC_Archive) August 24, 2025 That backdrop is fertile for equities that package Bitcoin exposure with an added narrative. Listed miners and “BTC-treasury” plays have often traded as leveraged proxies for spot, rising faster in bull bursts and falling harder in drawdowns. If ABTC launches into a supportive tape, order books could see brisk demand simply because some investors prefer ticker exposure over self-custody, and some funds can only hold exchange-listed securities. Conversely, in a risk-off week, that leverage can work in reverse. The spicier question is whether politically branded crypto equities can outperform based on identity alone. Traders will test that thesis – especially in the first weeks, but markets usually revert to fundamentals: hashrate efficiency, energy contracts, scale, balance-sheet BTC per share, and dilution risk. If ABTC’s operational metrics are competitive and its treasury strategy is disciplined, the branding becomes a powerful top-of-funnel rather than the sole pillar of value. Risks, realism, and the road ahead Regulatory and legal headwinds. A White House-adjacent crypto vehicle will (fairly or not) draw amplified scrutiny. Expect probing of energy sourcing, cross-border activities (the company has floated exploring exposure in Asia), related-party transactions, and disclosures around political entanglements. That doesn’t doom the listing, but it raises the bar on governance and investor-relations precision from Day 1. Market-structure dynamics. The ownership concentration outlined in filings implies limited float and potentially sharp price moves around catalysts (index inclusion, unlocks, secondary offerings). Aggressive treasury accumulation strategies, if pursued, can turbocharge upside when BTC rips, but they also magnify drawdowns. Crypto-equity history is littered with miners that over-extended during strong cycles and then wrestled with capex obligations and dilutive raises when prices cooled. Tokenomics (without a token). Because ABTC is an equity, not a coin, the “tokenomics” here are capital-markets mechanics: shares outstanding, cost of capital, future issuance, and BTC per share on the balance sheet. If management telegraphs a clear capital-allocation framework – how much to mine vs. buy, how much BTC to hold vs. sell for operating costs, what leverage is acceptable, the market will have anchors to model fair value instead of trading purely on vibes. Outcome scenarios. Media spectacle without follow-through: The American Bitcoin SPAC launch could grab headlines at first, but risk fizzling if operational disclosures disappoint or governance questions escalate. True institutional gateway: Clean reporting, competitive hashrate growth, prudent treasury policy, and a float that widens predictably, turning ABTC into a programmable, long-only-friendly BTC proxy alongside the ETFs. The next near-term waypoint is procedural: shareholder approvals and the closing of the merger – with company materials signaling an early-September start to trading, ticker ABTC. Watch for updated S-4/8-K filings and day-one liquidity stats. Conclusion From Twitter jabs to ticker listings, crypto just got its most theatrical entry point yet. American Bitcoin packs politics, hype, and regulatory intrigue into a single launch. It could debut as 2025’s most-watched crypto equity: a Nasdaq-listed, Trump-backed crypto vehicle colliding with an ETF-driven bull structure . Will it prove an ETF-level gateway for institutions or just the loudest headline of the year? Your move, markets.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a downward trend since reaching a new record high of over $124,000 in mid-August. Having fallen below $110,000 to date, BTC has been fluctuating within a certain range. While some analysts expect Bitcoin to reach $200,000 before 2026, investors are predicting that the BTC price could fall even further. According to The Block, the Polymarket prediction market is pricing in a 62% chance that BTC will fall below $100,000 by the end of the year. At this point, the vast majority of Polymarket bettors are predicting Bitcoin will fall below $100,000 by the end of the year. Accordingly, users have become more confident about the possibility of a drop below $100,000 as Bitcoin has fallen below $110,000 for the first time in six weeks. Presto Research analyst Min Jung stated that the possibility of Bitcoin falling below $100,000 is valid. Strong buying demand from institutions and companies has so far prevented large-scale selling by whales and long-term investors, the Presto Research analyst noted. However, the analyst added that if whales start selling more aggressively and BTC buying demand fails to keep pace with selling, the price could drop below the $100,000 level. “So far, the large-scale selling by whales and long-term investors has been met with sufficient buying demand, particularly from corporate treasuries and institutional allocators. However, if these large investors begin closing their positions more aggressively, the real question will be whether there are enough new investors to meet this supply. If institutional BTC demand fails to keep pace, a break below $100,000 becomes more likely.” *This is not investment advice. Continue Reading: Bitcoin's Future Could Be Tough!

Bitcoin is facing another storm as leveraged traders lose $300 million in a single day. The world’s largest cryptocurrency has dropped below $112,000, its weakest point in six weeks, following a sharp reversal after early optimism about rate cuts. Long positions have taken nearly 90 percent of the hit, wiping out over 130,000 traders and showing once again how fragile leveraged bets remain. Ethereum has mirrored Bitcoin’s path, tumbling after hitting a new high. As traders regroup, the question of what crypto to buy now is becoming louder, particularly as fresh opportunities emerge in projects like Mutuum Finance (MUTM) . Bitcoin pressure intensifies Bitcoin is continuing its slide after a brief rebound earlier in the week. The sudden plunge to $110,600 has rattled traders and raised concern over leverage across exchanges. The crypto crash today is driving heated debate as whales and retail players both reassess their risk. While Bitcoin is still recovering to just above $112,000, the sentiment is cautious, and fear is evident in the crypto charts. This market shake-up is causing new predictions. Eric Trump has again urged Bitcoin to hit 175,000 by 2025 and even surpass 1 million. His comments add to the continuing belief in the supremacy of Bitcoin, but the recent slide is making investors reconsider their short-term plans. As a result, the focus is moving to altcoins and DeFi tokens that have definite growth potential. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) presale progress While established tokens are moving unpredictably, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is attracting steady inflows. The project is in Phase 6 of its presale, pricing each token at $0.035. This marks a 250 percent increase from the opening phase at $0.01. Since the presale began, $15,000,000 has been raised, and the number of holders has already surpassed 15,700. Phase 6 is underway and selling quickly, meaning that entry at this level will not last long. Afterward, Phase 7 will lift the price to $0.04, a 14.3 percent increase, before the launch value of $0.06. Current buyers stand to secure between 300 percent and 500 percent returns after launch. Dual lending model and token utility Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is preparing a decentralized lending system designed for both peer-to-peer and peer-to-contract operations. This dual model is addressing limitations seen in earlier DeFi protocols, offering higher yields for lenders and flexible terms for borrowers. Additionally, its overcollateralized stablecoin is being introduced with strict mint-and-burn rules, helping it maintain a $1 peg during market swings. Consequently, the protocol is drawing interest from both conservative and risk-seeking crypto investing groups. Security confidence is also reinforcing investor trust. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has completed a Certik audit with a 95 score, showing strong resilience, and has launched a $50,000 bug bounty program to further test its contracts. Importantly, no vulnerabilities or incidents have been found in the last 90 days. This proactive stance is critical in a market still asking why crypto is crashing during periods of stress. Why attention is shifting to MUTM The crypto crash today is again showing how unpredictable Bitcoin and Ethereum can be in the short run. Meanwhile, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is offering a structured path with real token utility, an audited foundation, and incentives that are keeping demand strong. The combination of presale growth, dual lending design, and upcoming launch at $0.06 is making it a prime option for those considering what crypto to buy now. Investors looking for stability and high growth potential are increasingly pointing toward MUTM as the best crypto to buy in this volatile market.

Bitcoin’s gradual price recovery that started earlier this week has taken the asset to just over $113,000 for the first time since Monday’s crash. A few altcoins have posted big gains over the past 24 hours, but the momentum clearly belongs to the native token of the Cronos ecosystem – CRO. BTC Above $113K The primary cryptocurrency had an eventful end to the previous business week. It had dropped below $112,000 in anticipation of Jerome Powell’s speech, which was somewhat promising in terms of upcoming rate cuts. This sent the asset flying, and BTC exploded by over five grand in minutes to top $117,000. However, that was short-lived, and bitcoin returned to $115,000 during the weekend. The landscape took a turn for the worse on Sunday evening when the cryptocurrency plunged by $4,000 and slipped below $111,000. Although it tried to recover some ground on Monday, it quickly started to lose value again. The culmination came on Tuesday when BTC slipped below $109,000 for the first time in approximately seven weeks. The bulls finally stepped up at this point and pushed the asset north to around $110,000 for the next day. BTC has slowly climbed since then and today jumped past $113,000, where it currently trades. Its market cap has risen to over $2.250 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is well above 56%. BTCUSD. Source: TradingView CRO Keeps Flying CRO’s price has been on a massive roll since Monday, when the exchange behind it and Trump Media Group announced a groundbreaking partnership in two parts that will ultimately see the POTUS-related company accumulate roughly 20% of the token’s supply. CRO reacted with an immediate surge from $0.15 to $0.22, but it only kept pumping in the following days. The culmination, so far, came earlier today with a surge $0.38 – the highest level since April 2022. Other notable gainers over the past 24 hours include MNT, PI, and SOL. ETH, BNB, DOGE, TRX, ADA, and SUI are also in the green. The total crypto market cap has increased by $70 billion and is up to the $4 trillion mark on CG. Cryptocurrency Market Overview.

Every investor faces the same dilemma: should they chase quick returns or focus on long-term growth? In crypto, it often feels like you have to choose between the two. Meme tokens sometimes deliver short bursts of profit but rarely hold value over time, while larger, established assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum provide stability but limited upside. Few projects manage to deliver on both fronts, but analysts argue that Mutuum Finance (MUTM) may be one of those rare exceptions. With its low entry price, strong presale momentum, and utility-driven roadmap, MUTM is being highlighted as a token that offers both short-term gains and long-term scalability. The short-term case Mutuum Finance is currently in presale at $0.035, having raised over $15 million and attracted more than 15,700 holders. This level of traction in such a short time frame is already drawing attention from traders who specialize in spotting breakout opportunities before launch. Several catalysts position MUTM for strong near-term performance. The project will debut with a beta platform available at token release, allowing immediate adoption, something that sets it apart from presales that launch with no product. This also improves the likelihood of exchange listings on top-tier platforms, a move that typically brings significant liquidity and price discovery. In addition, whale inflows during the presale have signaled confidence from deep-pocketed investors. Multiple six-figure contributions have pushed fundraising to the $15M milestone, suggesting that larger players are focusing on early momentum. With these factors aligned, analysts predict MUTM could climb beyond $0.06 shortly after launch, representing gains of roughly 200–300% for presale buyers. The long-term case While the short-term outlook is promising, Mutuum Finance’s real strength lies in its long-term roadmap. One of its most anticipated features is the launch of an overcollateralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Unlike opaque centralized stablecoins, this asset will be fully backed by on-chain collateral supplied within Mutuum Finance’s lending system, providing predictability for lending, borrowing, and transacting. This stablecoin positions Mutuum Finance as more than just another DeFi platform; it creates a foundation for lasting adoption. The roadmap also includes Layer-2 integration, a key upgrade that will slash fees and dramatically increase transaction speeds. Ethereum’s mainnet congestion has long been a barrier for users, especially smaller investors. By moving activity onto a Layer-2 solution, Mutuum makes its ecosystem more scalable and accessible to everyone. Mutuum’s buy-and-redistribute model ensures consistent buy pressure over time. Instead of minting new tokens to reward users, the platform uses profits to purchase MUTM from the open market and redistribute them to mtToken stakers. This mechanism strengthens token demand while rewarding long-term participants, avoiding the dilution issues common with inflationary reward systems. With these fundamentals in place, analysts predict MUTM reaching $1.25 by 2026, which would represent a 35x return from the presale. Looking further ahead, predictions for 2028 place MUTM at $4 or higher, making the token a candidate for 100x growth once adoption accelerates. Why experts say MUTM wins both The crypto market is filled with tokens that fit only one investor profile. Meme coins like DOGE or PEPE can deliver quick profits but lack the fundamentals for sustained growth. On the other end of the spectrum, large-cap assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are viewed as safe, long-term holds, but don’t offer the kind of exponential scaling that smaller tokens can achieve. Mutuum Finance stands out because it bridges both worlds. Its low presale price makes it attractive for short-term traders seeking quick multiples after launch, while its roadmap—including a stablecoin, Layer-2 integration, and sustainable tokenomics—gives it a foundation for long-term adoption. Security also strengthens MUTM’s appeal to both groups of investors. The project has already completed a CertiK audit with a score of 95/100, paired with a $50,000 bug bounty to ensure contract resilience. A $ 100,000 giveaway campaign further expands its community, creating broader visibility before launch. Together, these measures build the kind of credibility that both short-term speculators and long-term holders look for. Investment example The numbers highlight the difference clearly. A $1,000 investment at $0.035 secures about 28,600 MUTM tokens. In the short term, when MUTM climbs to $0.07 after listings, that position would already be worth $2,000, effectively doubling the investment. In the long term, once MUTM hits $1.25 by 2026, the same $1,000 stake would be worth more than $35,700, a 35x return. Compared with Bitcoin or Ethereum’s 2026 forecasts of 50–70% growth, the scaling potential of MUTM is hard to ignore. A rare dual opportunity Investors often feel forced to choose between tokens that promise quick returns and those that provide sustainable long-term growth. With Mutuum Finance (MUTM), analysts argue that choice may no longer be necessary. Its presale momentum, whale participation, and beta launch point to immediate upside once it hits exchanges. At the same time, its roadmap of stablecoin development, Layer-2 integration, and sustainable tokenomics provides the backbone for long-term scalability. For traders preparing strategies for the next bull cycle, MUTM is increasingly being called a rare dual opportunity—the token that delivers both short-term excitement and long-term value.
