Powered by the analytical team at Outset PR, a data-driven communications agency for the crypto industry. Bitcoin has crossed another milestone in its journey toward mainstream recognition. With a market capitalization of $2.22 trillion, it now accounts for roughly 2.2% of the global M2 money supply, which MacroMicro estimates between $96.8 trillion and $105 trillion as of mid-2025. That figure may sound modest, but it underscores the steady progress of a decentralized asset that is increasingly finding a place in global liquidity frameworks once reserved only for fiat currencies and gold. A Growing Share of Global Liquidity M2 — the sum of cash, checking deposits, and readily accessible savings — is the most widely used measure of liquid money in circulation. For Bitcoin to claim more than two percent of this pool is no longer a symbolic footnote. Unlike fiat currencies, whose supplies expand with central bank policies, Bitcoin’s share of M2 reflects a simple truth: rising demand meeting a fixed supply. That dynamic positions it as a digital counterpart to gold, and a hedge against the ongoing expansion of traditional money supplies. Institutional Buying Surpasses New Supply One of the strongest signals behind Bitcoin’s rising share of global liquidity is institutional accumulation, which has not only intensified but now outpaces new issuance: In the first months of 2025, public companies acquired over 196,000 BTC. By May 2025, total institutional holdings had exceeded the projected annual mining output of ~164,000 BTC, effectively absorbing future supply before it even reached the open market. Overall, institutions have accumulated more than 417,000 BTC since January 2025, pushing available supply on exchanges to new lows. This dynamic is critical: when long-term institutional holders absorb supply faster than it is produced, the structural scarcity narrative becomes more than rhetoric — it’s observable in market mechanics. Corporate Treasuries and ETFs Widen the Pipeline High-profile corporate purchases underline this trend. Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) executed its largest-ever acquisition in May, adding 7,390 BTC worth about $765 million. At the same time, spot Bitcoin ETFs from BlackRock and Fidelity have opened the door for traditional capital flows on an unprecedented scale. By mid-2025, ETF inflows had surpassed $50 billion, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust alone exceeding $80 billion in assets under management. These vehicles are critical because they give pensions, insurers, and conservative funds regulated exposure to Bitcoin without the complications of custody. Meanwhile, the number of publicly traded firms holding Bitcoin has more than doubled since 2023, reaching 80 this year. From Milestone to Macro Factor Measured at 2.2% of global M2, Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset class — it has become a macroeconomic factor. It now stands alongside monetary aggregates, commodities, and liquidity indices when modeling markets. Volatility remains, but the scale of institutional flows and the persistence of accumulation suggest that Bitcoin’s role in global finance will only expand from here.

Bitcoin (BTC) started the week in the red, falling to a low of $110,555 on Monday thanks to a weekend sell-off that triggered a flash crash and a wave of liquidations, sending prices crashing. Despite the correction, market data revealed traders are bullish, with improving macroeconomic conditions and dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell improving the market outlook. Metaplanet Upgraded From Small-Cap To Mid-Cap Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet has been upgraded from a small-cap to a mid-cap stock in the FTSE Russell’s September 2025 Semi-Annual Review. The upgrade enables the firm’s inclusion in the flagship FTSE Japan Index. The index provider updates and rebalances every quarter. Metaplanet was added to the FTSE Japan Index thanks to its strong Q2 performance. The company’s inclusion in the FTSE Japan Index also qualifies it for automatic inclusion in the FTSE All-World Index of the largest publicly-listed companies by market capitalization in each geographic region. Metaplanet’s inclusion in major, globally recognized stock market indexes allows the company to redirect capital flows from traditional financial markets into Bitcoin . It will also allow passive stock investors indirect exposure to the flagship cryptocurrency. Metaplanet also outperformed the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) Core 30, a stock market benchmark index that features manufacturing and technology giants like Toyota, Sony, Nintendo, and others. The company had announced a year-to-date (YTD) gain of 187% in August, compared to TOPIX 30’s 7.2% YTD gain. Bitcoin (BTC) Whale Cashes Out, Triggers Market Turmoil Bitcoin (BTC) registered a sharp drop over the weekend as an old whale cashed out, rotating his capital from BTC to Ethereum (ETH). The Bitcoin whale rotated around $2 billion worth of BTC into ETH, triggering a 2.2% drop in a ten-minute window on Sunday. The rotation came after another Bitcoin whale moved 670 BTC worth $76 million, selling them to open a long position on ETH. Strategy Stops Up Bitcoin (BTC) Stash With Another Modest Purchase Michael Saylor’s Strategy has increased its Bitcoin holdings, adding a modest $350 million worth of BTC . The company has made only three small purchases this month, likely due to high volatility. Meanwhile, its stock has registered a notable decline in July and August. According to the firm’s latest filing, it purchased 3,081 BTC for $356.9 million, for $115,829 per coin. Strategy now holds 632,457 BTC worth $70.26 billion, and is sitting on an unrealized profit of roughly $23.8 billion. Strategy’s Bitcoin acquisitions have cooled over the past month as the flagship cryptocurrency continues experiencing substantial volatility. Strategy has only purchased 3,666 BTC this month, compared to a staggering 31,466 BTC in July. Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) registered a sharp drop over the weekend, wiping out Friday’s gains and extending its losses to the current session. As a result, the flagship cryptocurrency fell to a low of $110,555 before rebounding to current levels. The crash was triggered by a sell order by a large Bitcoin whale. The order led to a flash crash, triggering over half a billion dollars in liquidations. The sell order of 24,000 BTC was worth $2.7 billion, and led to a 3.74% correction in under ten minutes. This led to $623 million in liquidations, according to data from CoinGlass. However, some analysts believe that despite the substantial correction, Bitcoin’s bullish structure remains intact, arguing that the drop was not a sign of bearish sentiment but a healthy, maturing market. “No paper BTC conspiracies are required. The price has stalled because several whales have hit their magic number and are unloading. This is healthy - their supply is finite and their selling is required for the full monetization of Bitcoin. Massive blocks of supply, with enormous purchasing power, are being distributed into the population.” BTC started the previous weekend in bearish territory, dropping nearly 1% on Friday (August 15) to $117,436. The price registered marginal increases on Saturday and Sunday, settling at $117,488. However, BTC was back in the red on Monday, dropping 1.02% to a low of $114,703 before settling at $116,286. Selling pressure intensified on Tuesday as BTC plunged nearly 3%, slipping below $113,000 and settling at $112,856. Despite the overwhelming selling pressure, the price was back in positive territory on Wednesday, rising over 1% to reclaim $114,000 and settling at $114,276. Source: TradingView Selling pressure returned on Thursday as BTC fell 1.57% and settled at $112,480. Bullish sentiment returned on Friday as BTC rallied, rising nearly 4% to reach an intraday high of $117,416 before settling at $116,908. However, the price lost momentum on Saturday, dropping 1.30% to $115,383. Selling pressure intensified on Sunday as BTC plunged to an intraday low of $110,635. However, it rebounded from this level to reclaim $113,000 and settle at $113,478, ultimately dropping 2.10%. Bearish sentiment intensified during the ongoing session as BTC fell to an intraday low of $110,555. However, it has rebounded from this level and is trading around $112,701, down 0.70%.

Crypto analyst CryptoBull has stated that the cup-and-handle pattern on XRP has completed, pointing directly to a $7 price target. The analyst shared an XRP chart against the U.S. dollar on Bitstamp , showing the structure forming over several months. His post emphasized that the technical setup is intact and that the price level of seven dollars is the next target based on this development. What the XRP Chart Says The chart attached to the tweet displayed XRP on the daily timeframe, with the 200-day moving average included for reference. A rounded base was drawn to illustrate the cup formation, followed by a smaller rounded pullback marking the handle. The chart caption stated “XRP $7–$8 NEXT,” aligning with CryptoBull’s comment that the next move is toward the $7 range. At the time of the screenshot, XRP was trading near the $3 level, with price action positioned above the 200-day average after forming the pattern. #XRP Cup&Handle pattern completed. Next stop is $7. pic.twitter.com/QjpR3A34xx — CryptoBull (@CryptoBull2020) August 25, 2025 Reaction from the Community The post also featured a reply from a user identified as Lloyd, who offered a contrasting view. Lloyd wrote that “Charts mean nothing. It will reach $7.00 when they allow it to reach $7.00. Retail lives in manipulation land now. Best to hold. what will be will be….” His response challenged the predictive value of chart patterns, suggesting that external control and market dynamics are stronger factors than technical analysis. He concluded that holding is the best approach rather than trading based on formations. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Context of the Tweet CryptoBull’s message was clear and straightforward, focusing solely on the completion of the cup-and-handle and its projected outcome. The post did not include additional analysis on timeframes, invalidation points, or fundamental drivers. The reliance was strictly on the technical structure as justification for the $7 target . The chart itself reinforced this point visually, highlighting both the long base of the cup and the shorter consolidation of the handle. The additional community response from Lloyd raised skepticism, noting that control over markets matters more than technical structures. The tweet, therefore, conveyed both the analyst’s bullish technical expectation and a critical counterpoint that emphasized caution and patience.

Summary BitFuFu's Q2 results confirmed my rebound thesis, with strong sequential growth and improved operational efficiency despite the Bitcoin halving impact. Strategic investments in energy independence and asset tokenization position BitFuFu for long-term growth and reduced earnings volatility. The market is underappreciating BitFuFu's potential, with my updated valuation model indicating a 340% upside from current levels. Despite execution and regulatory risks, I see BitFuFu as a compelling, undervalued play for long-term investors in the crypto mining sector. In my previous BitFuFu Inc. ( FUFU ) analysis in late June, I forecasted a strong rebound in key financial metrics in Q2 based on preliminary performance data for April and May. Last week, the company reported strong Q2 numbers, confirming my rebound thesis for FUFU. Since my June article, FUFU stock is up ~13% but is still down from my first article published in May in which I projected strong operating profit growth for BitFuFu in 2026. I still believe the market has not fully priced in the expected recovery of BitFuFu and the expected growth in profitability next year. In addition, after analyzing the Q2 performance, my conviction that BitFuFu is laying the groundwork for the next phase of its growth through strategic investments in energy and asset tokenization has grown stronger. Because of this, I believe the valuation disconnect that I highlighted in my previous analysis is even stronger today, offering long-term investors an opportunity to double down on FUFU. BitFuFu's Q2 Results Validate The Rebound Thesis BitFuFu delivered a powerful comeback in Q2, validating my rebound expectations. It is important to keep in mind that the Bitcoin halving event in April 2024 has impacted the self-mining revenue of crypto miners across the board, not just BitFuFu. For context, the Bitcoin halving event reduced the block reward for miners from 6.25 BTC to just 3.125 BTC, meaning that miners are now receiving 50% fewer Bitcoin rewards for the same amount of work. Given the massive impact of the Bitcoin halving event, I believe long-term investors should look at financial metrics such as energy infrastructure investments and hashrate growth to gauge a measure of a crypto miner’s expected growth. In Q2, BitFuFu reported revenue of $115 million , a YoY decline of ~11% led by the lackluster performance of self-mining operations which saw a 71% YoY reduction in revenue. The management attributed this decline directly to the Bitcoin halving event and the company’s strategic decision to allocate more mining power to cloud operations. On the plus side, cloud-mining solutions revenue grew 22.3% YoY to $94.3 million as the company benefited from an increase in demand for cloud mining solutions. The increased hash rate also helped this segment’s performance. The rebound becomes evident when you compare BitFuFu’s Q2 performance with the previous quarter which offers a more reasonable comparison. Sequentially, revenue increased by ~48%. BitFuFu ended the quarter with BTC holdings of 1,792, a YoY increase of a modest 4.1%. Aided by the sharp increase in BTC prices, BitFuFu swung to a net profit of $47.1 million in Q2, a sharp turnaround from the Q1 loss and also a notable improvement from the prior year quarter. For context, the company recognized a $39.6 million unrealized fair value gain from BTC price increases in Q2 compared to an unrealized fair value loss of $16.4 million in the corresponding quarter previous year. What was more encouraging was the evidence of improved operational efficiency that we saw from BitFuFu in the previous quarter. While total revenue declined by 10.8% YoY, cost of revenue fell at a faster clip of 13.4% YoY, resulting in a higher gross profit ($12.9 million vs $11 million) despite the decline in revenue. The company has been actively trying to improve its cost efficiency through procurement optimization, but the biggest contributor was a reduction in per tera-hash electricity cost, which bodes well with BitFuFu’s long-term strategy. Exhibit 1: BitFuFu quarterly revenue and gross profit margin Fiscal AI As I highlighted in my previous articles on BitFuFu, as a diversified crypto miner with both self-mining and cloud mining operations, its prospects largely depend on hash rate growth. In Q2, the company’s total mining capacity under management reached 36.2 EH/s, a YoY increase of ~47%. Validating my rebound thesis, hash rate growth was even more stellar when you look at the sequential improvement as Q1 marked a low for the company. Compared to a depressed hash rate of just 20.6 EH/s in the first quarter, the Q2 hash rate marks a 76% increase. One of the main drivers of this hash rate growth was the strong demand for cloud mining operations which forced the company to secure additional computing capacity. In addition to this, BitFuFu’s ongoing investments in upgrading its fleet to more efficient hardware also contributed to hash rate growth. So far in 2025, the company has purchased approximately 20,000 new mining equipment. As of July 31, managed hash rate had grown to 38.6 EH/s, marking a record high for the company. The Market May Be Missing Two Catalysts After digesting BitFuFu’s Q2 earnings and its recent investment activity, I believe there are two catalysts that could significantly boost the company’s operating earnings in the long run. First, BitFuFu has made solid progress in its plan to be energy independent by sourcing its own natural gas in key regions such as North America and Africa. Compared to many crypto miners that are vulnerable to market price fluctuations but are not actively trying to mitigate this, BitFuFu is trying to get a hold of its supply chain to manage energy costs efficiently. After focusing on the likes of the U.S. and Ethiopia in recent times, the company is now looking at sourcing low-cost energy in Canada as well. Explaining the rationale behind this move during the Q2 earnings call, CEO Leo Lu said: We aim to secure stable low-cost electricity, thereby better controlling costs and ensuring supply security. This strategy is a significant step towards becoming a more vertically integrated power generation and mining company, enabling us to control key links in the value chain. In Canada, for example, we are evaluating opportunities to leverage low-cost natural gas for power generation. The current AECO natural gas price, Canada's benchmark for natural gas traded in Alberta is approximately CAD 0.80 per giga joule, a standard unit of energy equal to about 278-kilowatt hours, at a 33% efficiency rate, meaning 1/3 of the energy in the natural gas is converted to electricity and current exchange rates. Exhibit 2: BitFuFu’s datacenter growth Investor presentation As a result of these strategic investments in securing low-cost energy, I believe BitFuFu is well-positioned to emerge as a best-of-breed crypto miner with a low cost base. This would result in low earnings volatility in the long run, paving the way to attract premium valuation multiples in the market. For now, given its smaller scale compared to the likes of Riot Platforms, Inc. ( RIOT ) and Mara Holdings ( MARA ), the market does not seem to be paying a lot of attention, which keeps BitFuFu’s potential underappreciated. Second, BitFuFu is leading the charge in recognizing hashrate as a real-world asset, which presents new monetization opportunities for the company. As explained by CEO Lu: RWA or real-world assets refers to the digitization and tokenization of existing real-world assets with value and cash flow including government bonds, corporate loans, gold, real estate and even intellectual property on the blockchain. Technically, this involves using on chain smart contracts to record asset rights, distribute returns and execute transfers. The long-term plan would be to structure income rights from hashrate output or even future mining cash flows as an RWA and allow investors to gain exposure to BTC cash flows without having to own or manage mining equipment. I believe such contracts would help BitFuFu attract more institutional customers as well. Given the existing cloud mining business, which saw users grow 58% YoY in Q2 to 623,114, the RWA expansion seems a logical next move that could expand BitFuFu’s business from the mining industry to the secondary RWA trading market. Given the novelty of this business model, I believe Mr. Market is oblivious to the long-term growth opportunity that stems from this business expansion. The Valuation Gap Has Widened After digesting Q2 earnings, I wanted to visit my valuation model for FUFU to determine if the valuation gap between FUFU and its peers has shrunk in the past couple of months. As a reminder, in my previous analysis, I introduced a market cap/hashrate based valuation model where I found a peer average of $84.21 million/EH, to which I applied a 30% discount to estimate a fair market value of $58.95/EH for BitFuFu. Based on BitFuFu’s reported hashrate of 34.1 EH/s in May and 163.2 million shares outstanding, I estimated FUFU’s intrinsic value at $12.32 per share. Let’s revisit the numbers. Below is the updated comparison table. Metric FUFU RIOT MARA CLSK Peer average Market cap $556 million $4.63 billion $5.72 billion $2.67 billion Hashrate (EH/s) 38.6 35.4 57.4 50 Market cap/hashrate $14.4 million/EH $130.8 million/EH $99.7 million/EH $53.4 million/EH $94.6 million/EH Source: Seeking Alpha, company filings, and author’s calculations Based on the new peer average of $94.6 million/EH and a 30% discount to account for FUFU’s smaller scale, I arrived at a target multiple of $66.2 million/EH for FUFU. Based on FUFU’s updated hashrate of 38.6 EH/s, this results in an implied market cap of $2.56 billion for the company. Based on 168.6 million diluted shares outstanding as of Q2, the implied per share value is $15.18. Compared to the current stock price of just $3.45, this updated intrinsic value estimate implies an upside potential of 340%. Risks As I highlighted in my previous articles, investors should keep a close eye on the execution of key strategic initiatives, including BitFuFu’s ambitious energy independence goal. Given the plans to expand into RWA, it makes sense to keep a close eye on the regulatory environment for this new business line as well. In addition, I am keeping a close eye on BitFuFu’s relationship with third-party hashrate providers as it is key to the success of its cloud mining operations. Takeaway BitFuFu, as I expected, made a strong comeback in Q2 compared to a somewhat disappointing first quarter. Despite this comeback, the valuation gap between BitFuFu and its closest peers seems to have widened in the past couple of months, creating an opportunity for long-term FUFU investors to add to their stake. I believe FUFU remains an underappreciated and largely ignored play on the crypto economy, but in the long run, FUFU stock should follow its earnings, handsomely rewarding investors.
Dogecoin Foundation executive Timothy Stebbing has spoken out to address rumors about a possible 51% attack aimed at taking over the Dogecoin network, making it clear that the project is not under threat in this way, and such claims are misleading. Stebbing stressed that Dogecoin remains strong because it is built on decentralization and guided by the will of the community, rejecting the idea that there is any central control or hidden plan. Stebbing Supports Dogecoin’s Decentralized And Fair Approach Pointing to the values of open debate and shared decision-making, Stebbing said the idea is simple: “nobody is in control, and everyone is in control.” For him, this is not only the way the network works but also the way the community should operate. He wants the Dogecoin network to remain a place where ideas compete fairly, where no one person’s influence can outweigh the voice of many, and where the best ideas rise because they are helpful and honest. Stebbing also described how the community can make decisions by “voting with their feet.” In practice, this means that anyone can choose to support or ignore new developments, and the project will naturally follow the direction that gains the most support . For him, it is not about control but about collective action and freedom of choice in shaping Dogecoin’s future . Admitting that not everyone supports this path, he noted that some individuals in the crypto space prefer to keep Dogecoin unchanged. He even accused outside voices of trying to ensure Dogecoin stays a “non-competitive” project so it does not threaten bigger cryptocurrencies. For Stebbing, such actions go against the spirit of decentralization and openness that Dogecoin protects. Pushing DOGE Foundation’s Innovation Despite Resistance His dream is for Dogecoin to become a global currency , a “means of exchange” usable in real stores for real payments at lightning speed. Stebbing and the Dogecoin Foundation created dogebox.org, a custom-built system, almost like its own operating platform, to provide users with a decentralized space to build, test, and share ideas directly. Instead of relying on a few developers to make decisions, dogebox.org allows many people to explore different approaches simultaneously. But even after launching dogebox.org, Stebbing admitted that resistance has not gone away. Whenever he discusses new ideas, the same critics launch attacks, accusing him of having bad intentions or claiming his ideas are dangerous. For him, the real spirit of Dogecoin comes from the people who create and contribute to the community’s creativity every day . He said that rumors of a 51% attack may scare some people, but they cannot take away the strength of decentralization and the passion of the community. For Stebbing, the future of Dogecoin is still bright, and the network continues to push innovation, fight against central control, and hold onto the guiding rule: “Do Only Good Every Day.”
As the cryptocurrency market enters its next growth stage, many are searching for the best crypto to buy before the next big wave hits. While well-known names like Bitcoin and Ethereum still dominate, a new group of challengers is creating real FOMO among early adopters. One of the biggest stories is BlockDAG, which has become a headline presale in 2025, raising hundreds of millions before its mainnet even goes live. At the same time, Ondo Finance is gaining traction with real-world asset tokenization, Uniswap is pushing the decentralized exchange trend forward, and Stellar is advancing cross-border payments. Each project speaks to a different part of the blockchain market, yet BlockDAG’s presale momentum and $1 target have captured major attention. This is why these projects are now driving the conversation around the best crypto to buy in this cycle. BlockDAG: $383M Raised and Targeting $1 BlockDAG has surged into focus, raising $383 million in its presale and ranking as one of the biggest fundraising events in the last seven years. Currently priced at $0.0276 in Batch 29, its hybrid consensus blends Bitcoin’s proof-of-work with DAG scalability to deliver faster validation and higher throughput. This design tackles the balance of speed, decentralization, and security in ways other chains have struggled to achieve. Adoption is also building fast. The X1 mobile miner app has drawn in over 2.5 million users, making mining accessible for everyday participants, while 19,400 ASIC miners have been sold to expand hashing power. On the builder side, more than 4,500 developers are active across 300+ dApps, signaling ecosystem strength before the mainnet launch. With a $600M presale goal in sight and talk of a $1 post-listing price, BlockDAG (BDAG) is shaping into one of the most talked-about opportunities. This mix of scale, adoption, and builder traction explains why many see it as the best crypto to buy right now. Ondo (ONDO): Driving Real-World Asset Growth Ondo Finance has gained major traction after crossing the $1 billion Real-World Asset (RWA) mark, securing its role as a leader in tokenized finance. Priced near $0.93, Ondo holds a market cap of about $2.95 billion with a fully diluted valuation of $9.3 billion. The rollout of its “Ondo Catalyst” program and integration with the BNB Chain underline its plans to scale in tokenized equities. Analysts note that Ondo may not match the explosive ROI potential seen with BDAG, but its push to connect traditional finance with blockchain keeps it on track for institutional adoption. For those preferring steady utility, Ondo remains a clear option among the best cryptos to buy in 2025. Uniswap (UNI): Powering DeFi Liquidity Uniswap continues to dominate as the leading decentralized exchange, trading near $10.44 with a market cap above $6 billion. Even with volatility across crypto markets, UNI has kept its spot as the top liquidity provider in DeFi. Governance debates on fee structures and incentives for liquidity providers are adding to UNI’s importance as Uniswap v4 approaches. With billions traded daily, Uniswap’s DeFi role is secure, though price gains depend on network upgrades. For those looking at decentralized finance exposure, UNI is a steady choice. It may not deliver the same upside as BDAG, but it still counts among the best cryptos to buy for a balanced strategy. Stellar (XLM): Expanding Global Payment Access Stellar, currently trading between $0.39 and $0.40, remains focused on enabling cheap and fast cross-border payments. With a market cap near $11 billion, XLM sits in the top 30 coins by value. New collaborations are strengthening its role in payment systems for underbanked markets, reinforcing its utility as accessible financial infrastructure. Analysts also note Stellar’s progress on regulatory alignment, though competition with Ripple continues. Stellar may not offer the rapid growth potential of BlockDAG, but its focus on partnerships and real-world adoption ensures it remains in discussions for the best crypto to buy where stability and long-term use matter most. Final Takeaway In a market packed with ambitious Layer 1s, only a few projects manage to combine adoption, innovation, and momentum as strongly as BlockDAG. With $383 million raised, millions already mining through mobile, and thousands of developers engaged before launch, BDAG has moved beyond presale hype. Its $1 projection post-listing may sound ambitious, but when measured against past major presales, the enthusiasm appears justified. Ondo’s RWA expansion, Uniswap’s DeFi leadership, and Stellar’s payment network each bring distinct strengths, yet BlockDAG’s mix of adoption, traction, and technical design puts it ahead as the best crypto to buy right now . Execution will decide its future, but in 2025, BDAG is positioned to set a new benchmark for early-stage success. Disclaimer: This is a sponsored press release for informational purposes only.

Ethereum's speculative capital is at a record high, but institutions take a break, warning of potential volatility.
Bitcoin is entering a pivotal moment after failing to secure a close above the highly watched $125,000 all-time high. The rejection at this level triggered a sharp retrace, leaving bulls defending critical demand zones around $110,000–$112,000. This range is now seen as the line in the sand that could determine whether BTC resumes its bullish trajectory or faces deeper consolidation. Related Reading: Ethereum Faces High-Risk Setup: Leverage-Driven Rallies Signal Volatility Market analysts remain divided. Some highlight the resilience of buyers who continue to absorb selling pressure and maintain higher lows. Others, however, warn that failing to reclaim momentum soon could give bears the upper hand and accelerate a correction. Top analyst Axel Adler expressed caution, noting that large sellers have appeared on centralized exchanges in recent sessions. According to Adler, what’s concerning is that these sellers seem to lack proper execution strategies such as TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), which could amplify volatility and put further pressure on short-term price action. Despite these red flags, overall CEX Netflow remains green, signaling that buyers are still in control for now. However, Adler warns the balance is shifting: if sellers continue to increase their presence, buyers may soon be outnumbered, potentially tipping Bitcoin into a more pronounced downturn. Bitcoin Bulls Face A Test As Focus Shifts To Ethereum According to Axel Adler, this phase in Bitcoin’s cycle highlights the changing dynamics of institutional and corporate interest. Adler points out that “right now would be the perfect time for Saylor & Co. to step up their buying,” referencing Michael Saylor and other high-profile corporate investors who have historically supported Bitcoin at key levels. However, Adler also stresses that the corporate sector’s attention has clearly shifted toward Ethereum, where accumulation and leverage activity have been dominating headlines. This Ethereum frenzy, fueled by both whale accumulation and institutional inflows, has contributed to Bitcoin’s current stall. While ETH rallies toward new highs and captures market liquidity, BTC has consolidated, failing to generate the same momentum seen earlier in the year. For many analysts, this isn’t necessarily bearish—it reflects a rotation of capital within the crypto ecosystem. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin is testing its previous ATH zone as support, a critical level that bulls must defend. Holding this range could validate the current consolidation as healthy before a new push higher. However, a failure here could open the door to deeper corrections, especially if capital rotation into ETH continues at the current pace.

Testing Support At A Pivotal Level The daily Bitcoin chart shows price under pressure after failing to sustain momentum above $123K and reversing sharply lower. BTC is now trading near $111,829, just above the 100-day moving average at $111,567, which is emerging as critical short-term support. The 50-day moving average at $116,544 has flipped into resistance after last week’s breakdown, highlighting a weakening bullish structure. This zone around $111K–$112K is decisive. A confirmed close below would open the door for deeper downside, potentially targeting the 200-day moving average near $100,866, which coincides with a major psychological threshold at $100K. On the upside, bulls must reclaim the $115K–$116K region to regain momentum and set up another attempt at the $123K ATH. Related Reading: Ethereum Chain Dominates With $516M Net Inflows In 7 Days Price action shows that sellers have recently been in control, as reflected by consecutive lower highs and a failure to hold demand above $115K. However, as long as BTC maintains the 100-day MA, the broader uptrend remains intact, suggesting this could develop into a consolidation phase rather than a full reversal.

XRP is entering a crucial consolidation phase, with traders eyeing the $3.5 mark as the next big test. Despite recent dips, its six-month trajectory signals resilience and potential for growth. Much like how Outset PR identifies market inflection points to position brands for maximum visibility, XRP’s consolidation could be the setup for a breakout that reshapes short-term market dynamics. XRP Eyes Growth Amid Market Fluctuations Source: tradingview XRP is currently trading within the range of nearly $3, slightly under its 10-day moving average of $2.95. Although it recently dipped, its price movement indicates room for potential growth. The nearby resistance level at just over $3.30 is a crucial target. Breaking through it could potentially push XRP towards its second resistance level, which is some way above $3.60, hinting at a possible rise of over 15%. Despite a recent decline in the last week and month, XRP’s six-month performance shows a healthy upward swing of over 27%, suggesting bullish momentum if it can surpass current hurdles.

Digital asset investment products faced their largest weekly outflows since March as $1.43 billion exited the market. Despite this, trading volumes in exchange-traded products (ETPs) surged to $38 billion, around 50% above the yearly average, which reflected “increasingly polarised” investor sentiment over US monetary policy. Early in the week, fears of a hawkish Federal Reserve outlook triggered $2 billion in outflows. Despite this, sentiment rebounded after Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, which investors viewed as more dovish than anticipated. This eventually led to $594 million in inflows. Ethereum Outperforms Bitcoin In the latest edition of “Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report,” CoinShares revealed that investor behavior showed a clearer tilt toward Ethereum compared to Bitcoin during the recent market turbulence. Ethereum staged a strong recovery mid-week and restricted outflows to $440 million, far below Bitcoin’s $1 billion decline. On a month-to-date basis, Ethereum recorded inflows of $2.5 billion, while Bitcoin remains in negative territory with $1 billion in net outflows. Year-to-date, Ethereum inflows represent 26% of total assets under management, compared with Bitcoin’s 11%. Investor activity favored several altcoins this past week, with XRP leading at $25 million in inflows. Solana and Cronos also gained $12 million and $4.4 million in inflows, respectively. Next up was Cardano with $2.9 million, followed by Chainlink with $2.1 million. Litecoin also attracted a minor inflow of $0.3 million over the past week. Sui and Ton, on the other hand, suffered the most with outflows of $12.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Multi-asset products also witnessed $0.6 million in outflows. Regional Divergence Regionally, the United States experienced the largest outflows, with $1.31 billion over the past week, while Sweden and Switzerland recorded $135 billion and $11.8 billion in withdrawals, respectively. Several other countries, however, saw modest inflows. Germany, for one, led with $18.4 million in inflows, followed by Canada with $3.7 million and Australia with $3.5 million. Hong Kong contributed $2.6 million, while Brazil also attracted $1 million in inflows during the same period.
