ETF

A crypto ETF is a regulated investment fund that tracks the price of one or more digital assets and trades on traditional stock exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq.Following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the 2026 market now includes Solana ETFs and diversified Altcoin Baskets. ETFs serve as the primary vehicle for institutional capital and retirement funds (401k/IRA) to enter the Web3 space. This tag tracks regulatory approvals, AUM (Assets Under Management) inflows, and the impact of Wall Street on crypto liquidity.

XRP Futures Hit $1B on CME as SOL and XRP Lead ETF Demand

XRP Futures Hit $1B on CME as SOL and XRP Lead ETF Demand

The post XRP Futures Hit $1B on CME as SOL and XRP Lead ETF Demand appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP Futures Surpass $1B Open Interest on CME, Joining Elite Crypto Assets XRP has officially entered the ranks of top-tier digital assets on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), with futures open interest surpassing $1 billion in just three months since launch.  This milestone places XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in the so-called $1B club, underscoring its rapid rise in institutional demand and market relevance. Source: CME Group The CME, a leading global derivatives exchange, has long been a barometer for institutional appetite in cryptocurrency markets.  Historically, only Bitcoin and Ethereum held the spotlight, later joined by Solana following surging market interest. XRP’s inclusion in this group highlights a growing recognition of its utility and investment appeal, particularly after years of uncertainty stemming from regulatory scrutiny in the United States. Market analysts note that the speed at which XRP futures crossed the $1B open interest threshold is especially significant. While Bitcoin and Ethereum required years to build consistent institutional participation, XRP has managed to achieve the feat in a matter of months.  The CME Group acknowledged, “Our SOL and XRP futures, along with ETH options, each crossed $1B in OI, with XRP being the fastest-ever contract to do so, hitting the mark in just over 3 months.” Therefore, this suggests that the groundwork laid during the asset’s long-standing presence in global remittances and payments is translating into heightened investor confidence. Rising open interest signals stronger speculation, hedging, and liquidity, key drivers of market depth. For XRP, it highlights growing institutional confidence, not just in short-term price moves but in its long-term role in global finance.  With futures offering regulated exposure, XRP is becoming a gateway for traditional finance players who might otherwise avoid direct spot trading. Institutional Demand for XRP ETFs Stronger Than Market Anticipates According to Crypto Observer SMQKE,…

BTC Long-Term Holders Realize 3.27M BTC in Profits, Exceeding 2021 Cycle

BTC Long-Term Holders Realize 3.27M BTC in Profits, Exceeding 2021 Cycle

The post BTC Long-Term Holders Realize 3.27M BTC in Profits, Exceeding 2021 Cycle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin BTC$111,331.21 long-term holders (LTHs) have already realized more profit in this cycle than in all but one previous cycle (2016 to 2017), according to data from on-chain analytics platform Glassnode. This underscores elevated sell-side pressure and, when combined with other signals, suggests the market has entered the late phase of the cycle”. Since the start of 2024, LTHs (defined as investors who have held bitcoin for at least 155 days) have realized 3.27 million BTC in profits. This figure has now surpassed the 2021 bull run (just over 3 million BTC) and is far ahead of the 2013 cycle. However, it still trails the 2017 bull run, when realized profits reached 3.93 million BTC. For context, bitcoin’s average price was around $1,000 in 2015, compared with today’s levels which are roughly 100 times higher. This highlights that the market has absorbed a significantly larger dollar value of realized profits. The sell-side supply has been enormous, with ongoing rotation of capital, including from long-dormant “OG” coins. Recent market activity illustrates this dynamic: approximately 80,000 BTC was listed for sale at Galaxy, while another 26,000 BTC recently became active. Altogether, about 100,000 BTC has come up for sale and the market has seen a slight correction, which shows how liquid the market has become. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have played a role in facilitating this rotation, while trading volumes have also expanded broadly across the market.

Solana DATs Could Move Price 10x Faster Than Ethereum, Expert Warns

Solana DATs Could Move Price 10x Faster Than Ethereum, Expert Warns

An X post by Bonk core contributor Nom (@TheOnlyNom) argues that a new wave of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) vehicles aimed at SOL could move price more than comparable Bitcoin or Ether treasuries—because of Solana’s smaller market cap, heavy staking that suppresses immediately available float, and the ability for treasuries to buy discounted or locked tokens before they ever touch the open market. Why Solana DATs Could Move Price 10x Faster Than ETH “SOL DATs will be more efficient at accumulating currently trading supply (which is different than circulating supply) compared to ETH or BTC DATs,” Nom wrote, adding that “the recent announcements of $2.5b in SOL DATs should be looked at like a $30b raise for ETH or $91b for BTC.” Nom opens with disclosures and caveats rather than price calls. “I’m not going to argue whether inflation is good or bad, I have already spent enough time talking on that and look forward to the changes,” he wrote. He also underscores his own positioning and bias: “I am a spot SOL, staked SOL, and locked SOL holder (thanks to an SPV on the estate SOL) … I would also like tokens I own to go up in value—so a flat token price is bad in my point of view.” Related Reading: REX Financial CEO Picks Solana Over Ethereum: Here’s Why On the overhang from the FTX bankruptcy estate, Nom contends that the risk is shrinking fast even if it still looms in the narrative. “At the time of bankruptcy, FTX’s estate held 41m SOL tokens … with the majority going to the folks at Galaxy and Pantera with strike prices of approximately $64 and $102 … this is currently massively in the money at Solana’s current ~$190 price tag,” he wrote. Based on his reading of staking accounts and vesting schedules, Nom estimates the “‘Estate SOL’ is currently at about 5 million units remaining to be unlocked, or about $1b notional.” He sets that against broader unlocks: “From the good folks over at 4shpool (gelato.sh) there’s about 21m [units] of Solana remaining to unlock until 2028, or ~$4b notional at current pricing … ‘Estate SOL’ is ~1/4 of all remaining SOL to be unlocked.” The thread’s central mechanism is flow versus float. Nom argues that issuance plus unlocks create persistent sell pressure unless matched by price-insensitive buyers. “This matters for one specific number that we need to focus on, which is the amount of SOL hitting the market on a daily basis,” he wrote. “If you give someone tokens for free (staking inflation/unlocks) or at a discount (FTX SOL) — you can expect some % of people to sell. I assume 100% of this inflation of 37.5m SOL in the next year to be sold.” That sets a high bar for demand: “In order to offset 37.5m SOL a year at $200 SOL … you need ~$7.5b/year in inflows, or ~$20.5m per day.” The Differences Between SOL And ETH Crucially, he argues, DATs can meet that bar more efficiently if they accumulate outside the open market. “If the DATs can more efficiently buy SOL at a discount from either the estate SOL, or other locked SOL areas, that improves the efficiency of the inflows,” he wrote. “Raising $400m to buy SOL at a 5% discount is equivalent to $420m in inflows, which is better than $400m in inflows—the only question is how do you equate the time value of buying SOL off the market today, vs removing future sales tomorrow.” He adds that, on his numbers, issuance dominates the supply picture: “Our inflation over the next 3 years is greater than the unlocks (EOY 2028 as end of lock schedules) … and the FTX SOL is only a quarter of the remaining unlocks—so the DATs buying the estate SOL rather than the market is not a realistic concern.” Related Reading: Solana Boost – Medical Firm’s $400M Stock Sale Powers New SOL Treasury Nom insists the difference between “trading supply” and headline “circulating supply” is what makes SOL especially sensitive to steady buyers. “Circulating supply is NOT equivalent to amount available on the market, especially for staked assets. You cannot buy staked SOL, but you can buy LSTs,” he wrote. Citing current snapshots, he notes, “Solana has 384m of its 608m SOL staked currently, or 63.1% off the market. LSTs account for 33.5m SOL, so let’s put that back as supply available to buy and round it to 350m/508m off the market, or 57.5% off the market and unavailable for purchase (at least with a 2 day lag).” By his math, that thinner immediate float means each new dollar has more price impact than on chains with lower staking penetration. Valuation magnifies the effect, he says. “Solana is at a much lower valuation than ETH or BTC … a dollar spent on a SOL DAT is like $5 on an ETH DAT or $22 on a BTC DAT when looking at relative valuations.” Adjusting for staked versus readily tradable supply, he pushes the comparison further: “When you factor in the circulating supply amounts with staking, that’s closer to 11x for ETH efficiency or 36x for BTC efficiency.” He also weaves in the role of ETFs and corporate vehicles alongside treasuries. “SSK is doing some of the work at roughly $2m/day in inflows since launch, however the inflation schedule needs 10x inflows — and this will likely come with further ETF approvals,” he wrote, arguing that DATs have a flywheel effect: “These DATs take supply off the market, they earn tokens based on staking yield … and they make subsequent buys by vehicles like ETFs more effective at moving the market.” On sector leadership, he’s blunt about the need for a standard-bearer: “SOL DATs need a Michael Saylor or a Tom Lee, narrative is the name of the game.” His summary distills the thesis to a few lines: “Right now less than 1% of supply is under SOL DAT management, this will likely shift to 3% with the 3 newly announced vehicles, and 5% with planned future vehicles.” “Current ETF inflows are not sufficient,” he added, “however larger vehicles should be approved by start of Q4 and SOL remains a contender for institutional bid.” Solana Treasury Boom In The Making Notably, Nom’s framing arrives amid a cascade of new vehicles. On Aug. 25–26, Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital and Jump Crypto are in talks to raise roughly $1 billion to build a publicly traded Solana treasury company, with Cantor Fitzgerald as lead banker. Separately, Pantera Capital is weighing a plan to raise up to $1.25 billion to convert a Nasdaq-listed firm into “Solana Co.,” a dedicated SOL treasury vehicle. Meanwhile, Nasdaq-listed Sharps Technology announced a $400 million private placement explicitly to establish what it calls the largest corporate Solana treasury to date. Together, these deals sketch out at least $2.5–$3.0 billion of potential new institutional demand pointed squarely at SOL. At press time, SOL traded at $204.

XRP Joins the $1 Billion Club — SOL and XRP Dominate ETF Race

XRP Joins the $1 Billion Club — SOL and XRP Dominate ETF Race

XRP Futures Surpass $1B Open Interest on CME, Joining Elite Crypto AssetsXRP has officially entered the ranks of top-tier digital assets on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), with futures open interest surpassing $1 billion in just three months since launch. This milestone places XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in the so-called $1B club, underscoring its rapid rise in institutional demand and market relevance.The CME, a leading global derivatives exchange, has long been a barometer for institutional appetite in cryptocurrency markets. Historically, only Bitcoin and Ethereum held the spotlight, later joined by Solana following surging market interest. XRP’s inclusion in this group highlights a growing recognition of its utility and investment appeal, particularly after years of uncertainty stemming from regulatory scrutiny in the United States.Market analysts note that the speed at which XRP futures crossed the $1B open interest threshold is especially significant. While Bitcoin and Ethereum required years to build consistent institutional participation, XRP has managed to achieve the feat in a matter of months. The CME Group acknowledged, “Our SOL and XRP futures, along with ETH options, each crossed $1B in OI, with XRP being the fastest-ever contract to do so, hitting the mark in just over 3 months.”Therefore, this suggests that the groundwork laid during the asset’s long-standing presence in global remittances and payments is translating into heightened investor confidence.Rising open interest signals stronger speculation, hedging, and liquidity, key drivers of market depth. For XRP, it highlights growing institutional confidence, not just in short-term price moves but in its long-term role in global finance. With futures offering regulated exposure, XRP is becoming a gateway for traditional finance players who might otherwise avoid direct spot trading.Institutional Demand for XRP ETFs Stronger Than Market AnticipatesAccording to Crypto Observer SMQKE, the market is significantly underestimating the institutional appetite for XRP-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Recent insights from Kaiko Research reveal that XRP, alongside Solana (SOL), has emerged as one of the most sought-after assets in the wave of ETF applications, a trend that underscores a potentially pivotal shift in market dynamics.Kaiko’s analysis highlights that both XRP and SOL are not only among the most liquid cryptocurrencies but also stand out in terms of institutional interest. Notably, XRP products lead the pack, attracting the most ETF-related applications. This suggests that beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, which already dominate the ETF landscape, investors and financial institutions are preparing for broader diversification into alternative digital assets with strong liquidity profiles and established use cases.ETFs are widely regarded as a gateway for institutional and traditional investors to gain exposure to digital assets without direct custody risks. By bridging traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem, these products often boost liquidity, enhance regulatory legitimacy, and draw long-term capital into the market. Therefore, the heavy tilt toward XRP applications indicates that fund issuers anticipate robust demand once regulatory approvals materialize.SMQKE also emphasizes that this trend is not merely speculative but rooted in XRP’s unique positioning within the financial sector.Unlike many cryptocurrencies, XRP has built-in utility for cross-border payments and settlement solutions, making it an attractive candidate for institutions seeking both exposure and practical relevance. With regulatory clarity around XRP improving in several jurisdictions, the pathway for ETFs tied to the token appears increasingly viable.ConclusionThe growing wave of ETF applications signals that XRP is no longer just a speculative asset but a contender for institutional portfolios. With Kaiko’s data pointing to unmatched demand and liquidity, and with observers like SMQKE underscoring the market’s blind spot, the stage is set for XRP to capture unprecedented institutional inflows once approvals come through. Furthermore, industry observers believe that XRP’s entry into the $1B club strengthens its position as more than just a speculative digital asset. It now stands as one of the few cryptocurrencies with proven demand in both retail and institutional markets.

XRP futures breken record: snelste ooit op $1 miljard aan open interest

Connect met Like-minded Crypto Enthusiasts! Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord XRP heeft een nieuwe mijlpaal bereikt op de grootste derivatenbeurs van de Verenigde Staten. Op de Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) stegen de futures op het token van Ripple in slechts drie maanden tijd naar meer dan 1 miljard dollar open interest. Daarmee is het het snelste contract ooit dat dit niveau wist te bereiken. Speculatie over spot ETF De CME bevestigde de prestatie in een verklaring van 26 augustus. Volgens de beurs is het een teken dat de markt voor cryptoderivaten volwassen wordt. “Onze crypto futures hebben voor het eerst 30 miljard dollar aan open interest overschreden. Zowel SOL als XRP futures en de Ethereum opties gingen elk voorbij de grens van 1 miljard dollar. XRP deed dat in een recordtijd van net iets meer dan drie maanden,” aldus CME. Our Crypto futures suite just surpassed $30B in notional open interest for the first time ever.

Nate Geraci, voorzitter van de ETF Store, vindt dat de markt de vraag naar een spot product onderschat. “Mensen zien de omvang van deze futures en denken dat een spot ETF misschien niet nodig is. Ik denk dat de vraag veel groter zal blijken,” zegt Geraci. XRP Futures Volume en Open Interest.

Met een marktwaarde van ongeveer 178 miljard dollar is het de derde grootste munt ter wereld. Dat is groter dan de beurswaarde van vermogensbeheerder BlackRock, die rond de 176 miljard dollar ligt. Toch blijft de munt volgens kenners zeer omstreden. Advocaat John E. Deaton, een bekende voorstander van Ripple, omschrijft XRP als “de meest gehate munt onder institutionele beleggers en de meest geliefde munt onder retail beleggers.” Dat spanningsveld typeert het verloop van XRP al jaren. Retail ziet de munt als bruikbaar betaalmiddel, terwijl institutionele partijen zich terughoudend opstellen, mede door de lange juridische strijd tussen Ripple en Amerikaanse toezichthouders. XRP is the single most hated Crypto by institutional and professional traders/holders. XRP is the most loved Crypto by retail investors/holders. https://t.co/h4zI3dgHwQ — John E Deaton (@JohnEDeaton1) August 27, 2025 Kritiek blijft Ondanks de records en de stijgende handelsactiviteit blijven er kritische geluiden. Analisten wijzen erop dat de oorspronkelijke rol van XRP als brugvaluta inmiddels grotendeels is ingehaald door stablecoins en netwerken die slimme contracten of orakels aanbieden. Bij brugtokens ontstaat geen blijvende vraagdruk, omdat elke aankoop voor een transactie direct gevolgd wordt door een verkoop. Daarnaast kampt het XRP netwerk met het imago dat de functionaliteit beperkter is dan bij concurrerende blockchains als Ethereum of Solana. Dat zorgt ervoor dat veel institutionele beleggers afwachtend blijven, ook nu de derivatenhandel records breekt. Beweging in de koers De prijs van XRP reageerde positief op het nieuws. Op woensdag noteerde de munt rond de 3 dollar, een stijging van meer dan 3 procent in 24 uur. Voor veel beleggers is de futures mijlpaal een teken dat er opnieuw kapitaal richting XRP stroomt, zowel voor speculatie als voor het afdekken van posities. De goedkeuring van een spot ETF zou de ultieme test vormen. Het zou moeten uitwijzen of de loyaliteit van de retail belegger en de opmars in de futures markt voldoende zijn om institutionele partijen definitief aan boord te krijgen.
