The most prominent developments in the cryptocurrency market today:
Bitcoin and Institutional Interest:
* JPMorgan Gives Green Light to Bitcoin Purchases: Jamie Dimon, CEO of leading US bank JPMorgan, announced that the bank will allow its customers to purchase Bitcoin. This is seen as an important step in terms of institutional adoption.
* Large Inflows in Bitcoin ETFs: Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) traded in the US recorded a net inflow of $667.4 million yesterday, the largest inflow since May 2. This shows that institutional interest in Bitcoin continues.
* Bitcoin and Ethereum Purchases from BTCS and MicroStrategy: BTCS, which focuses on blockchain technology, purchased 3,450 Ethereum (ETH) for approximately $8.42 million. MicroStrategy (MSTR), the largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies, purchased another 7,390 Bitcoins worth approximately $765 million last week.
Altcoin Developments:
* Critical Signals in Ethereum: It is stated that there are critical signals such as $ 2,500 pressure and "Death Cross" danger in Ethereum. However, there are also news that more than 1 million ETH has been withdrawn from exchanges and cryptocurrency inflows have reached $ 785 million with the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, increasing expectations that the price may reach $ 3,000.
* Altcoin Season Claims: ETH's 34% increase against BTC has led some analysts to ask the question "is the altcoin season near?" The increase in Solana accumulation also shows that institutions are playing big before the altcoin season.
* SEC Postpones Solana ETF Decision: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed the regulatory review process for five Solana (SOL)-related investment products.
* Volume Increase in Memecoins: The memecoin market has experienced a volume increase of over 160% in the last month.
Other Important News:
* CMB Proof of Reserve Regulation: The Capital Markets Board (CMB) has introduced a "proof of reserve" regulation for crypto asset platforms.
* Trump and the Crypto Market: It is stated that Bitcoin fell after Trump's tax statement, but the White House hosting the first Crypto Summit has sparked interest in the market.
* Bitcoin Price Movements: While Bitcoin has exceeded the $100,000 level again, some analysts are expressing targets of $110,000 or even $120,000. However, it is also stated that it has maintained $105,000, unaffected by Moody's decision.
The increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin in the market and the continued net inflows to ETFs are noteworthy. In altcoins, Ethereum's rising potential and the increase in volume in memecoins stand out. Regulatory developments and macroeconomic factors also continue to affect the market.
