The long-awaited spot BTC ETFs initially boosted prices, but gains soon fizzled out in a "sell the news" event. While our crystal ball stays fuzzy on short-term moves, one thing stays clear - accelerating institutional adoption buoys Bitcoin's long-term thesis. And with that, let's dive into the top stories in crypto: - $1.4 billion floods into new spot BTC funds ð¥
- CoinShares acquires Valkyrie funds in a consolidation move ð°
- GameStop nixes NFT marketplace due to regulatory uncertainty â
- Hong Kong index boots XRP, boosts Solana ð
- Hedera unlocks $389 million to boost 2024 growth ð° Now, let's dive deeper into each of those stories and decode the implications! â $1.4 Billion Floods Into New Spot BTC Funds The drums of institutional FOMO beat loudly after spot Bitcoin ETFs unlocked money vaults this week! According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, nearly $1.4 billion in inflows blasted into various funds in just two trading days! Adding 500,000 new traders along the way as volumes exploded to $3.6 billion! An impressive start by any metric. Yet early winners and losers emerged from the chaos with Grayscale experiencing significant outflows. After adjusting for a $579 million drainage, the net measured $819 million. The drainage highlighted some whales upgrading to newer offerings after being locked into pricey Grayscale products. Why stick with a 1.5% fee ratio when BlackRock charges just 0.25%? But these inflows clearly didnât help the price of Bitcoin⦠Maybe we will see the impact in the long run.

It's consolidation in the air! The European asset manager struck a deal to acquire Valkyrie Funds fully. This comes right as Valkyrie's spot BTC fund won regulatory approval alongside 10 other hopefuls. CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie raved the move accelerates their trajectory to become "a global leader in the digital asset spaceâ. But why would CoinShare acquire a fund that didnât perform that well in comparison to its peers?

(Press F to pay respects) Users now have under a fortnight left to wrap up things before the GameStop NFT powers down for good. Of course, collectibles will remain retrievable on other market venues. But the abandoned effort adds another tombstone to the gaming giant's graveyard of aborted crypto adventures over recent years. This rally-killing decision shows that while Bitcoin basks in the ETF glow, barriers persist for next-gen blockchain applications in the American market. Will this move have a domino effect on the NFT sector?

So what is a zkApp? In simple terms, a zkapp is a new kind of decentralized app (dApp) that uses advanced math to keep data private and make transactions faster and cheaper. Normal dApps put all the data and transactions on the blockchain for everyone to see. zkApps are different - they only put a mathematical proof on the blockchain, not the actual data. This proof shows the transaction is valid, without revealing what the data is. This allows zkApps to keep sensitive user data completely private. It also makes the app faster and cheaper to use, because less data needs to be stored on the blockchain. But how does this exactly work? Are there projects already using this technology?

And now back to our daily stories! â Hedera Unlocks $389 Million This week Hederaâs governing council approved a hefty treasury release to boost ecosystem growth in 2024! 4.248 billion HBAR now enter circulation - worth over $389 million at current prices! Most of the chunky liquidity heads to established pillars like the HBAR Foundation and Hashgraph Association. These organizations channel funds into developer grants, community initiatives and other critical adoption drivers. Of course, the council kept some sweetener for itself and early backers too. But the clear focus lands on fostering an explosive growth phase for Hedera this year. Is this move really going to help the project progress, and in turn, boost HBARâs prices?
