Switzerland's financial regulator, FINMA, has approved the country's first Bitcoin ETF for retail investors. It pointed to growing demand for crypto investments, and several fund providers have already applied to offer similar products. For traders, this could widen access to Bitcoin for Swiss retail investors and signal rising institutional interest.
Sam Callahan argues that Bitcoin does not need interest rate cuts to succeed. He points to the U.S. dollar losing 20% of its purchasing power over five years, along with core PCE inflation spikes and a historic drawdown in the U.S. bond market. For traders, the view links Bitcoin's outlook to inflation and monetary conditions rather than rate cuts alone.
CrossBorder Capital's Michael Howell argues that global liquidity is a main driver of markets. He also says Bitcoin is emerging as the top asset in a debasement environment. For traders, this frames Bitcoin as a liquidity-sensitive asset worth tracking alongside macro conditions.
JPMorgan's research now gives a return range for bitcoin, with a headline view of about 10% a year over the next decade. That would put bitcoin ahead of its outlook for stocks, bonds and gold over the same period. The bank still urges caution about how much bitcoin belongs in a portfolio.
The defunct exchange Mt. Gox has pushed its repayment deadline to 2027, with $2.8 billion in Bitcoin still to be handed out. Its trustee said many creditors have not yet finished the steps needed to claim their Bitcoin. Traders may watch this large pending supply, since future distributions could affect Bitcoin's market.
Bitcoin fell about 0.5% to roughly $81,400, even after its biggest daily spot ETF inflow in almost a month. The drop came as South Korea's Kospi index lost 3.7% on worries about artificial intelligence, and options traders are reportedly seeking downside protection.
Bitcoin pulled back from its earlier losses while stocks edged higher. Oil dropped sharply before bouncing back, after conflicting reports about the war in Iran. For traders, the swings show how fast geopolitical news can move markets.
Bitcoin ETFs had their strongest day in a month, and BlackRock was the main reason. Meanwhile, Fidelity's FBTC and Grayscale's GBTC both saw money leave, with outflows of $83.6 million and $54.9 million. Traders may read this as a sign that big fund providers are seeing different demand for bitcoin exposure.
AnchorWatch has launched its AnchorWatch Trust Company in Nevada and opened its custody service. The headline also says bitcoin custody fees are capped at $10,000 a month. The news is mainly about bitcoin infrastructure, so it may matter more to institutions than to short-term price moves.
