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.

Japan Prepares Large Scale Amend of Crypto Policies

Japan Prepares Large Scale Amend of Crypto Policies

The post Japan Prepares Large Scale Amend of Crypto Policies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is preparing sweeping changes to its digital asset framework. The changes, which combine tax reforms and regulatory upgrades, could introduce exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to cryptocurrencies. The initiative signals Japan’s intent to integrate crypto into mainstream finance and attract broader investment. Tax Burden Under Review The reform package, reported domestically, includes two key parts. First, it consists of revising the tax code that would move crypto from comprehensive taxation to the same category as equities. Second, it includes a legal amendment reclassifying crypto as a financial product, enabling the FSA to apply insider-trading rules, disclosure standards, and investor protections under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Currently, Japan taxes crypto gains as “miscellaneous income,” with progressive rates that can exceed 50 percent once local levies are included. Alternatively, equities and bonds are subject to a 20 percent flat tax. According to Nikkei, the FSA has proposed moving crypto into that 20 percent system in fiscal 2026. Investors would also be able to carry forward losses for three years. Officials believe parity with stocks will reduce investor burden and increase market activity. Regulatory Shift to Enable ETFs The FSA’s second pillar involves amending securities law to classify crypto as a financial product. This would clear the path for crypto ETFs, including spot Bitcoin funds, which remain unavailable in Japan. Observers argue ETFs could provide accessible, regulated options for investors while boosting market transparency. According to BeInCrypto, the agency also plans an internal restructuring, creating a bureau dedicated to digital finance and insurance. That reflects how crypto has become intertwined with broader financial systems, requiring consistent oversight. Japan’s history with crypto illustrates both risk and resilience. In 2014, Tokyo-based Mt. Gox once processed over 70 percent of global Bitcoin trades before collapsing. Regulators embedded lessons from that…

Ethereum hits a new high after 1,384 days. Where is the next milestone?

Ethereum hits a new high after 1,384 days. Where is the next milestone?

Written by: Rhythm BlockBeats After 1,384 days, Ethereum finally reached its new high in this cycle. On August 23, after the Federal Reserve's Powell's heavy "dovish" speech the night before, expectations for a September interest rate cut increased significantly, and US dollar assets rose across the board. A few hours later, Ethereum rose 14% to $4,887, setting a record high in its 11-year history. Its market value exceeded $586 billion, ranking 25th in the world's technology companies by total market value, higher than world-renowned companies such as Mastercard and Netflix. ETH historical price chart; Source: TradingView If Bitcoin completed its transition from a retail asset to an institutional asset in the last cycle, then Ethereum's current breakthrough to a new high may mark the beginning of its own "sovereignty narrative moment." Tom Lee, Wall Street's Ethereum "call guru," likens this strategic layout to a "sovereignty call option"—when Ethereum is widely adopted in global financial and AI infrastructure, companies holding significant stakes will be in a unique position. Sean McNulty, head of derivatives trading for Asia Pacific at digital asset prime brokerage FalconX Ltd, said the flow of funds from Bitcoin to Ethereum constituted a "massive positive sentiment shift driven by strong spot ETF inflows, growing corporate treasury adoption and broader stablecoin tailwinds." This statement perfectly summarizes why Ethereum is reaching new highs at this moment. Its late arrival isn't an absence, but rather a process of waiting—waiting for sentiment and funding, policy and technology to converge at the right time. Now, that moment has finally arrived. For Ethereum, this isn't just a price leap; it's a shift in narrative. Expectations of interest rate cuts increase The shift in the macro environment has become the key driving force behind Ethereum's breakthrough to a new high. As the U.S. job market continues to weaken and core inflation gradually declines, market bets on the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates this year have significantly increased. Behind this trend lie the signals released by Federal Reserve officials in their recent flurry of statements. At the Jackson Hole symposium, Powell made a rare admission that the balance of risks is shifting—inflation risks remain, but pressure from deteriorating employment is rapidly increasing. Under these dual pressures, the focus of monetary policy has begun to shift from "maintaining high interest rates" to "moderate easing." The market reacted swiftly. CME's "FedWatch" tool indicates a near-90% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in September. For risky assets, this not only signals lower funding costs and improved liquidity, but also signals a policy turning point. Combined with institutional buying and Ethereum's shifting narrative, many traders view ETH's new highs as a cyclical turning point, rather than simply a technical breakthrough. Listed companies are buying, buying, buying! If there are any changes in the fundamentals of Ethereum this time, the biggest difference is that it has the same US stock company as Bitcoin MicroStrategy entering the market. On May 27, 2025, Nasdaq-listed SharpLink Gaming announced a major strategic move, securing $425 million in financing through a private investment in equity (PIPE). The company plans to use the net proceeds to purchase Ethereum, making ETH its primary reserve asset. Notably, the lead investor in this transaction was Consensys Software Inc., the Ethereum infrastructure development company. Since then, businesses and small public companies have increased their Ethereum allocations, with a growing number of Ethereum treasuries riding this upward trend. As of August 2025, according to Coingecko data, 17 companies/institutions currently hold 1,749,490 ETH, valued at approximately $7.5 billion. Bitmine, in a single month, acquired 833,000 ETH, representing nearly 1% of the global supply, solidifying its position as the world's largest publicly listed ETH treasury. The underlying logic is that holding ETH not only benefits from potential appreciation but also offers a native yield of over 3% through PoS staking, generating long-term, sustainable financial returns. This differs from the simple price bets of Bitcoin's treasury strategy and is more akin to operating an infrastructure asset, offering both capital appreciation and cash flow. On August 10th, Ethereum co-founder and ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin stated, "Treasury companies could potentially push ETH's market capitalization past BTC within a year." Geoffrey Kendrick, global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, said Ethereum Treasury is "very worthy of investment" today and is more attractive to investors than US spot Ethereum ETFs. Ethereum Treasury's net asset value (NAV) multiple—its market capitalization divided by the value of its ETH holdings—has "begun to normalize" and is expected to remain above 1, making it a better investment than US spot ETH ETFs. Kendrick noted that since June, Ethereum fund managers have purchased 1.6% of all circulating ETH, a pace comparable to that of ETH ETFs during the same period. By August 15th, according to data from StrategyEthReserve, the combined holdings of Ethereum treasuries and ETFs exceeded 10 million ETH, representing approximately 8.3% of the current total supply. Ethereum ETF inflows surpass Bitcoin After a year, the Ethereum ETF has finally seen its peak in net inflows. According to Farside data, it has accumulated over $2 billion since July 4th, and quietly attracted $8.7 billion in inflows in its first full year of operation, reaching $15.6 billion in AUM. This sustained institutional buying has created a stable buying wall in the market. A more important signal recently is that the amount of ETH bought by ETFs exceeds that of Bitcoin. On August 8, the total inflow of funds into ETH ETFs was $461 million, while BTC only had $404 million. BlackRock bought $250 million in ETH, Fidelity bought $130 million in ETH, and Grayscale bought $60 million in ETH. Unprecedented favorable policies At the narrative level, Ethereum’s policy tailwinds do not just remain verbal promises, but are gradually transformed into institutional support. The most direct change comes from the increasingly clear compliance path for ETH staking - some state regulators in the United States have begun to recognize the accounting treatment of staking income under a licensing framework, which means that institutions can disclose staking-related income more transparently in their financial reports. At the same time, the successful advancement of a series of stablecoin bills has also provided growth expectations for large-scale stablecoins issued based on ETH (such as USDC and USDT). Their core provisions require reserve transparency, on-chain verifiability, and cross-state payment interoperability, which will directly strengthen Ethereum's central position in the stablecoin issuance and settlement network. Of greater strategic significance is the "Project Crypto" initiative, jointly led by the SEC and the Treasury Department, which is shifting the regulatory framework from a defensive stance to one that encourages innovation in DeFi and blockchain-based financial products. Under this policy shift, Ethereum, with its dominant position in DeFi TVL (approximately 59.5% of the total network value) and stablecoin trading volume (approximately 50%), is naturally the first to benefit. The moderate policy shift not only reduces the concerns of institutional investors, but also opens the door for long-term funds such as pensions and insurance funds to enter the market. On August 7, 2025, a milestone destined to etch a lasting mark in American financial history was quietly passed. Trump signed an executive order officially allowing American 401(k) retirement savings accounts to invest in "alternative assets" including cryptocurrencies, private equity, and real estate. From then on, a fringe asset class once excluded from the mainstream financial system was officially included in the nation's nearly $9 trillion retirement plan.

Ethereum Price Outlook for 2025 During Altcoin Season

Ethereum Price Outlook for 2025 During Altcoin Season

The post Ethereum Price Outlook for 2025 During Altcoin Season appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Ethereum’s next move in the 2025 bull market could shock even optimists – where and when it could reach new heights. The crypto market is entering a feverish new stage. Bitcoin has already blasted through previous records, ETF flows are surging, and whispers of altcoin season are echoing across trading desks. In every cycle, Ethereum stands at the center of the storm, and 2025 looks no different. The question is no longer whether ETH will rally, but how high it could go, and some analysts admit even their boldest predictions may not be daring enough. Ethereum’s dominance of decentralized finance, NFTs, and tokenized real-world assets gives it an unmatched foundation. With upgrades like Pectra set to reduce network bottlenecks and boost efficiency, ETH could become more scalable than ever. A couple of models suggest Ethereum could reasonably price between $30,000 and $40,000 in next years, depending on altseason dynamics and whether ETH regains its historical market share ratio. But the real electricity in this market is not just about ETH’s next move, it’s about what happens when capital rotates into the smaller, faster-rising tokens that define altcoin season mania. Ethereum’s Strategic Role in Altseason Ethereum often acts as the spark for altcoin rallies. When ETH runs, liquidity typically floods into Layer 2 networks, DeFi tokens, and speculative plays built on Ethereum’s foundation. We’ve already seen wallet activity climb to year-to-date highs, with staking rates surging as institutional money joins the retail wave. As ETFs onboard more exposure, Ethereum’s supply on exchanges keeps shrinking, adding upward pressure on price. This mix of technical strength, institutional adoption, and cultural dominance puts Ethereum in the driver’s seat for altcoin season. And yet, history shows the biggest multipliers usually come not from ETH itself, but from the tokens riding in its slipstream.…
