This week, the #CryptoMarket remains under close watch as U.S. regulatory progress, significant institutional ETF outflows, and price movements in major assets shape investor sentiment.
Bitcoin $BTC : Trading between $87,500 and $88,000, #bitcoin experienced fluctuations and a slight decline over the week amid broader market uncertainty.
Ethereum $ETH : Hovering near $3,000, #Ethereum faces selling pressure despite brief rallies above key support levels.
Regulatory Focus: The U.S. is advancing towards a comprehensive digital asset regulatory framework with recent appointments to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission #CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission #SEC . However, the anticipated market structure bill has been delayed until January 2026, prolonging regulatory uncertainty.
ETF Outflows: Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded nearly $1 billion in net outflows last week. Ethereum ETFs led the exits with $555 million withdrawn, reflecting institutional caution in the current environment.
Institutional Activity: Despite outflows, long-term institutional interest persists. Companies such as Trump Media and Bitmine have increased their Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings. Additionally, JPMorgan Chase is reportedly exploring crypto trading services for institutional clients, signaling growing mainstream adoption.
Trending Altcoins: Beyond BTC and ETH, altcoins like Bitlight (LIGHT), Hyperliquid ($HYPE), and Bittensor $TAO have shown notable weekly performance and transfer activity, attracting investor attention.
