Data shows the Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen weekly inflows five times the recent average, while Bitcoin has seen a slowdown in momentum. Ethereum Spot ETFs Have Seen 154,000 ETH In Inflows This Week In a new post on X, the analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the netflow related to the US-based Ethereum spot ETFs. The “spot ETFs” refer to investment vehicles that allow an alternate means of exposure to a given asset. This means that with a spot ETF, a trader can ‘invest’ into an asset without having to directly own it. In the context of cryptocurrencies, this is especially relevant, as the ETFs trade on traditional platforms. Some investors may not want to fiddle with digital asset exchanges and wallets, so the ETFs offer them a familiar path into cryptocurrencies.

Below is a chart that shows how the netflows related to the latter’s spot ETFs have looked during the past month. From the graph, it’s visible that the Ethereum US spot ETFs have been witnessing net inflows for the last few weeks, a sign that there has been demand for the coin from the traditional investors. “This week alone, they’ve seen 154K ETH in inflows – 5x higher than their recent weekly average,” notes Glassnode. “For context: the biggest single-day ETH inflow this month was 77K ETH on June 11th.” While the trend has been that of growth for Ethereum, it has looked a bit more mixed when it comes to the number one digital asset, Bitcoin. As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin US spot ETFs have also seen positive netflows this week. The scale of the inflows, however, hasn’t been anything impressive, as only around 7,800 BTC has entered into the ETFs. This is above average, but far lower than the highs witnessed in May, when at one point the daily inflow had reached a peak of 7,900 BTC, more than the inflows for the entire current week. Related Reading: Bitcoin Options Traders Expect Quiet—But On-Chain Data Suggests Chaos Last week, the Bitcoin spot ETFs witnessed an outright negative netflow, so it seems the momentum has recently just been slower for the asset. In contrast, things have looked much more green for Ethereum indeed. ETH Price While Ethereum has been seeing consistent ETF inflows, its price has still underperformed against Bitcoin over the past day as it has dropped to $2,540, a decline of 7% compared to BTC’s 2% loss.

The post Hyperliquid Price Prediction: Can It Hit $90 This Year? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Hyperliquid has been on a strong run lately. It is currently trading at $42.18, up 6.5% in the last 24 hours. It is up 23% this week, 68% over the past month, and an impressive 1200% in the last six months. Its technical indicators show a neutral sentiment with a slightly bullish tilt. Momentum indicators like MACD and Momentum show upward strength, while most moving averages are strongly bullish. Overall, the trend looks positive but cautious. HYPE’s Explosive Growth Hyperliquid has pulled in $64.8 million in revenue over the past 30 days, outpacing major players like Ethereum and Tron. What truly sets it apart is that 97% of its revenue goes into buying back HYPE tokens, directly rewarding holders. But despite its strong fundamentals, there could be a possible short-term pullback around $36 or even $30. After HYPE’s recent move to $44, the unstaking on Hyperliquid remained low. MetamateDaz noted that the holders stayed calm and confident, which is rare during a price jump. Analysts note that HYPE is showing signs of a short-term pullback, and the dip could be a healthy reset after the recent run. With strong fundamentals, even if HYPE cools off, a quick recovery is likely. despite the recent move to $44 on $HYPE The unstaking queue on Hyperliqud remains relatively quiet low convictions holders are running out of tokens pic.twitter.com/BFXLRi9Fi3 — daz.hl (@MetamateDaz) June 12, 2025 Experts predict HYPE could break past its previous high of $43.86 and hit $90.72 by year-end. This is due to the rising platform usage, smart mobile app upgrades, and Hyperliquid’s dominant 70% share in the global DEX derivatives market. Hyperliquid Is Becoming a Major Player Hyperliquid recorded $11B daily volume in late May and recently hit $10.1B open interest. It is now the 5th biggest in derivatives trading and could soon rival top exchanges. Binance recently mentioned Hyperliquid’s performance, which fueled listing rumors. This boosted HYPE’s trading volume by 20%. With growing interest and a fast, low-cost ecosystem, HYPE is quickly gaining traction. Long-Term Price Predictions HYPE may dip to around $32 this month, but the upside remains strong. CoinCodex predicts a rise up to $103 by 2026, with big gains likely by March. CoinDCX is even more bullish, expecting $43–$45 this week and a rise to $85 in 2025, possibly hitting $125 by 2026. Despite short-term dips, the long-term trend looks strong.
The post EU Crypto Rules Spark Backlash Over Fast-Track Licenses appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News As Europe rolls out its new MiCA rules, major crypto companies are lining up to get licensed and operate across the EU. But some regulators are worried that things are moving too fast. According to Reuters , Gemini, the crypto platform founded by billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, is about to receive a license in Malta, the EU’s smallest country. This would give them the green light to operate across all 27 member states. This comes shortly after Malta approved licenses for OKX and Crypto.com, just weeks after MiCA came into effect. Malta’s Fast-Track Approvals Face Scrutiny Malta’s fast approvals are raising eyebrows among EU regulators, especially under the watch of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). France’s AMF has warned that weak oversight could lead to a “race to the bottom.” One official even raised concerns over whether countries with smaller regulatory teams, like Malta, can provide adequate oversight. ESMA is now reviewing Malta’s process and is expected to release a report soon. In response, Malta’s regulator said that it has issued four licenses so far, and credited its speed to its past experience and the “in-depth understanding acquired over the years.” Malta’s regulator said it follows strict anti-money laundering rules. OKX also called the process rigorous and said that compliance is a top priority. Coinbase Eyes Luxembourg License Elsewhere, Luxembourg is soon expected to approve a license for Coinbase, the first U.S. crypto firm in the S&P 500. While its team there may be small, Coinbase has 200 staff in Europe, and it plans to hire 20 more in Luxembourg by the end of the year. Luxembourg pushed back on claims that it is being too lenient on crypto. It suggested that other countries might just be trying to win over crypto firms. Notably, Coinbase’s move is seen as a setback for Ireland, whose central bank once compared crypto to a Ponzi scheme. EU Split on MiCA Enforcement At the centre of the issue is keeping the multi-trillion-dollar crypto market in check. MiCA is designed to bring crypto under the same regulatory standards as traditional finance, but if countries apply the rules differently, it could weaken MiCA’s overall impact. Countries are still divided in the EU over how to enforce crypto rules. There are ongoing talks about giving more power to ESMA. ESMA’s chief Verena Ross wants stronger oversight, but some countries are hesitant to increase their authority. How these early licenses are handled will likely set the tone for how the EU balances crypto growth and investor protection going forward.

Ripple has long been a leading name in global crypto payments, but a new contender known as Remittix has emerged. Currently priced at just $0.0781, this lesser-known altcoin is rapidly gaining traction and attracting attention for its speed, user-friendliness and ability to tackle real issues that XRP has yet to address. With both racing toward the $15 mark, the question on everyone’s mind is simple: can the underdog pull off the upset or will Ripple stay on top? Remittix Could Be Your Gateway To A World of Huge Crypto Gains Remittix is quietly gaining recognition as a payment-focused protocol that doesn’t rely on hype to drive interest. Analysts monitoring wallet flows have noticed consistent accumulation by addresses typically associated with long-term holding strategies. These addresses are moving RTX into cold storage, reducing circulating supply and signaling confidence in the asset’s utility. Ultimately, Remittix’s goal is to shake up the $190 trillion cross-border payments market. The project makes it easy to send crypto like Bitcoin or Ethereum and have it show up as real money in someone’s bank account. This transaction happens very fast and without any sketchy exchanges, high fees and long waiting period. Remittix also plays fair with its holders. There are zero buy or sell taxes on the token, so what you earn is yours to keep. The project’s security framework is also robust; Remittix has successfully undergone a full audit by BlockSAFU, alleviating some concerns for investors. The team is committed to long-term success, not a quick exit. If adoption continues at this pace, some analysts argue the current supply structure gives RTX enough scarcity to challenge the $15 mark in 2025. Market depth, of course, will play a huge role, but the infrastructure and positioning suggest the forecast isn’t without merit. Is XRP Set To Touch The $15 Mark Soon? Ripple is back in the spotlight as traders keep a close eye on its price. Nasdaq is preparing to offer bigger exposure through its upcoming Crypto Index. According to a filing dated June 2, 2025 , the American Stock Exchange has submitted a rule change request to the SEC under rule 19b-4. The proposed change would allow the Hasdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ) to adjust its benchmark. This means adding major altcoins like XRP, SOL, ADA and XLM to its portfolio. At the moment, XRP is holding steady above the key support level of $2.14. This price point is drawing interest from XRP buyers, especially as the growing excitement around the potential approval of the Nasdaq crypto index is also boosting momentum for the altcoin. Current resistance levels for XRP sit at $2.50 and $2.94. If bullish trends continue, the price could push toward $3 within the month. Many believe increased adoption and the chance for Nasdaq exposure could drive Ripple to new heights. In fact, some crypto enthusiasts like CW on X , believe that XRP could hit prices as high as $4.5. With such predictions, there is a strong possibility that XRP’s long-awaited target of $10 and even $15 is achievable. Source: Coinmarketcap Conclusion XRP still has significant upside potential, with major catalysts that could drive its price much higher. However, reaching targets like $15 won’t be easy, as it continuously faces market challenges and regulatory pressures. For investors seeking an alternative with greater explosive potential, Remittix may be the answer. Currently in presale, each RTX token is priced at just $0.0781 – Don’t miss out!

The post Trump Quietly Earned $57M from Family-Backed Crypto, New Filing Shows appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The Office of Government Ethics has released Donald Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure, a massive 234-page report. It reveals that Trump earned over $57 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm linked to his family, and holds a huge amount of WLFI tokens. The report also lists several other sources of income, showing just how much Trump is profiting across various ventures. Here’s a breakdown of the key earnings. Trump’s Stronghold In Crypto The disclosure , made public by the Office of Government Ethics, revealed that Trump earned $57.35 million from selling tokens linked to his family’s crypto firm, World Liberty Financial. He also holds 15.75 billion governance tokens, making this one of his biggest income sources so far. Apart from this, last week Forbes reported that Donald Trump’s net worth has climbed to $5.6 billion. Interestingly, nearly half of his liquid assets are now tied to crypto. In less than a year, Trump has made over $1.2 billion from crypto-related ventures alone. Donald Trump is cashing in on crypto. Over the last nine months, beginning slightly before the election, he has stirred up new ventures, new coins, new noise. All of it makes the president money, but how much? (Photo: Jamel Toppin for Forbes) https://t.co/eJWOWiwM8M pic.twitter.com/XsBFINCpa0 — Forbes (@Forbes) June 6, 2025 Interestingly, Trump’s involvement here shows a change in attitude. He was once critical of digital currencies, but now seems to be embracing them, especially when the profits are this high. Big Profits Beyond Crypto Apart from crypto, Trump continues to make millions from his well-known real estate empire. His Florida properties—including Mar-a-Lago, Doral, and Jupiter—brought in over $217 million. He also cashed in on his brand name. The disclosure shows: $3 million from a coffee table book. $2.8 million from Trump watches. $2.5 million from Trump-branded sneakers and fragrances. $1.15 million from NFT licensing and royalties. $1 million from collectible guitars. Add to that another $700,000+ from speaking gigs—and it’s clear Trump’s income streams remain diverse and many more. Debts and Legal Troubles Still Loom The filing also lists over $100 million in unpaid real estate loans. Trump is still battling several legal cases, including the $454 million civil fraud judgment and $88 million defamation payout, though both are currently paused due to appeals. Despite these liabilities, Trump’s crypto earnings stand out. They show that even traditional political figures are now diving into digital assets, and walking away with millions.

Ripple reactivated its RLUSD minting mechanism, introducing 12 million new tokens into circulation. This follows a strategic hiatus since April, undertaken to stabilize supply and calibrate with market demand . The mint came shortly before the US Senate votes on the GENIUS Act, a bill introducing a federal regulatory regime for stablecoins, on June 17. The timing indicates a strategic play by Ripple to build more liquidity for RLUSD before impending regulation. The blockchain digital payment company stopped issuing its stablecoin in April in hopes that the token would maintain its market standing and they could regulate the circulating asset count. The firm last issued its RLUSD stablecoin on April 25, releasing two tranches of about 23 million tokens. So far, around 425.74 million RLUSD tokens are presently in circulation, per CoinMarket cap analysis. Ripple burned some of its RLUSD tokens in May Ripple’s decision to mint more tokens just before the GENIUS Act vote on June 17 hints at the company’s confidence in the bill’s approval and a bullish stablecoin market . In the last few months, the firm has consistently put effort into checking its stablecoin supply. The platform burned roughly 4 million RLUSD tokens in May, taking them out of the circulating supply. Plus, it stopped minting, striking a balance between supply and demand in the market. The company has also been working on infusing its stablecoins on several platforms. RLUSD has already been listed on several exchanges and financial platforms, including Bitget, Gemini, and Revolut, to enhance its accessibility and utility. The GENIUS Act’s supporters believe it would encourage stablecoin issuance If the GENIUS Act is approved, it would set regulatory frameworks for stablecoins and help provide clarity to companies like Ripple in the stablecoin market. If the bill wins the key vote on June 17, the bill will move to the US House of Representatives, and eventually, the bill may just be passed into law. Nic Puckrin, a crypto analyst, investor, and founder of The Coin Bureau, believes the bill would make stablecoins more mainstream and encourage more companies to venture into stablecoins. So far, Puckrin sees the stablecoin market as a duopoly, mainly controlled by Circle’s USDC and Tether’s USDT. Puckrin commented, “Since the bill will create a clear pathway for banks and other entities to begin issuing stablecoins. We’ll likely see a flood of them rush into the market at the start.” He added that banks are preparing to create their own tokens, and although not all will succeed, they will expand consumer choice in finding a stablecoin and issuer that fits their preferences. Senator Bill Hagerty, who introduced the bill to the Senate, is urging his fellow lawmakers to vote on it, claiming that without regulation, stablecoin innovation will only continue internationally, excluding America, and they would fall behind in global competitiveness. Puckrin also suggested that Congress is beginning to realize the positive effect stablecoins can have on the nation’s position in the world, as USD backs the majority of stablecoins. He thinks the GENIUS Act may be the answer the USD needs to hold on to global power. Other bill champions have recognized that the legislation may not be perfect but believe that passing it is better than having no stablecoin regulation at all. Bezalel Eithan Raviv, CEO of the blockchain security firm Lionsgate, shares a similar view, saying that having the bill is better than what’s currently being done. Those opposing the bill have argued that it threatens the decentralized nature of crypto and could open the door to corruption, including regulators showing favoritism toward certain stablecoins.
