Crypto flashes red as ETF flows reverse

Crypto flashes red as ETF flows reverse

The post Crypto flashes red as ETF flows reverse appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Markets turned sharply risk-off as crypto sectors sold off across the board, while traditional assets held relatively firm. BTC (-4.5%) led the broader pullback, with the Nasdaq 100 (-2.1%) and S&P 500 (-1.1%) also slipping modestly. Gold (-1.5%) also retraced, losing the bid from a mild safe-haven bid amid rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar. Crypto sector performance was deeply bifurcated. Miners (+2.5%) and L2s (+2.0%) were the only bright spots, supported by renewed optimism around scaling and upcoming fee structure upgrades. In stark contrast, AI (-13.4%) and DePIN (-13.6%) were the biggest laggards, unwinding recent speculative gains. Ethereum (-5.3%) and Solana (-8.2%) ecosystems also underperformed as liquidity rotated out of higher-beta names. Launchpads (-4.4%) and DeFi (-3.9%) continued their grind lower, reflecting weakening onchain activity and profit-taking from the prior week’s rally. The selloff came as traders reassessed risk exposure ahead of key macro catalysts, notably Friday’s US payrolls report and ongoing Fed commentary hinting at “higher-for-longer” rates. As seen below, the probability of a 25bps cut has dropped from over 80% to 70%. A sharp drop in small-cap crypto names suggested thinning liquidity and tighter positioning across majors. Volatility ticked higher as market breadth narrowed, with BTC dominance inching up while alt sectors bled. Attention now turns to whether this is a short-term flush or the start of a broader de-risking phase heading into year-end. All eyes now turn to upcoming ISM Services PMI, US unemployment and payrolls and CPI over the coming days and weeks, with these releases likely to set crypto’s next leg — whether it’s a deeper pullback or a push higher. Market Update A rapid retracement in BTC and sliding ETF flows this week signals a shift from accumulation to…

Ozak AI Phase 6 at $0.012 Delivers 8,233% vs BTC 87%, ETH 164%, SOL 170% Combined 421% Before Phase 7

Ozak AI Phase 6 at $0.012 Delivers 8,233% vs BTC 87%, ETH 164%, SOL 170% Combined 421% Before Phase 7

The post Ozak AI Phase 6 at $0.012 Delivers 8,233% vs BTC 87%, ETH 164%, SOL 170% Combined 421% Before Phase 7 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As the broader crypto market cools down after a volatile month, one project is quietly rewriting performance expectations—Ozak AI ($OZ). With its Phase 6 presale price at $0.012 and a target price of $1.00, Ozak AI’s projected 8,233% return eclipses the combined growth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, which together have managed just 421% this year. While the big names of crypto wrestle with stagnation and declining volatility, Ozak AI is turning heads by offering something far more exciting—AI utility paired with exponential growth potential. With $4.06 million already raised and 971 million tokens sold, it’s clear investors are recognising the shift: 2025’s biggest winners may not be old giants, but intelligent, next-generation ecosystems like Ozak AI. The Numbers Speak for Themselves Here’s the contrast that has analysts paying attention: Asset 2025 Growth Bitcoin (BTC) 87% Ethereum (ETH) 164% Solana (SOL) 170% Combined Total 421% Ozak AI ($OZ) 8,233% (Projected) This isn’t speculative hype—it’s math grounded in a structured presale model. Ozak AI’s tokenomics ensure consistent phase-by-phase appreciation, rewarding early investors with steep percentage gains—like the impressive 1100% jump from the phase 1 price of $0.001 to the current $0.012.  With the next presale phase set to rise from $0.012 to $0.014 and an ambitious launch target of $1 (which represents an over 8300% increase from the current price), the potential upside remains staggering. Why Ozak AI Is Beating the Market Unlike traditional tokens driven by sentiment, Ozak AI is anchored in real utility and scalable AI frameworks. Its ecosystem merges artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and decentralised infrastructure—a combination that’s reshaping how investors view blockchain projects. The platform’s innovation stack includes: Prediction Agents (PAs): Autonomous AI models that forecast market behaviour and optimise trading strategies in real time. Ozak Stream Network (OSN): A decentralised data streaming layer allowing AI systems…

While the global market is rising, cryptocurrencies are falling. What exactly is the problem?

While the global market is rising, cryptocurrencies are falling. What exactly is the problem?

Author: Jasper De Maere , OTC Strategist at Wintertermute Compiled by: Tim, PANews The macroeconomic environment remains supportive, with positive events such as interest rate cuts, the end of quantitative tightening, and stock indices nearing high levels occurring one after another. However, the crypto market continues to lag behind as post-Federal Reserve policy meeting liquidity is waning. Global liquidity continues to expand, but funds are not flowing into the crypto market. ETF inflows have stagnated, decentralized AI activity has dried up, and only stablecoins are maintaining growth. Leverage has been cleared, and the market structure appears healthy, but a rebound in ETF or DAT funds would be the key signal for a liquidity recovery and the start of a potential catch-up rally. Macroeconomic Status Quo Last week, the market experienced volatility due to the Federal Reserve's rate cut, the FOMC meeting minutes, and earnings reports from several US technology companies. We saw the expected 25 basis point rate cut, officially concluding quantitative tightening, and the earnings of the "Big Seven" US stocks were generally positive. However, market volatility occurred after Powell downplayed the near certainty of another rate cut in December. The probability of a rate cut, which had been priced in by the market before the meeting (95%), has now fallen to 68%, prompting traders to reassess their strategies and triggering a rapid shift towards risk aversion. This sell-off didn't seem driven by panic, but rather resembled position adjustments. Some investors had over-bet on a rise before the event, creating a classic "sell the news" situation, as the market had already fully priced in the 25 basis point rate cut. The stock market subsequently stabilized quickly, but the cryptocurrency market did not see a synchronized rebound. Since then, BTC and ETH have been trading sideways, hovering around $107,000 and $3,700 respectively as of this writing. Altcoins have also exhibited a volatile pattern, with their excess gains primarily driven by short-term narratives. Compared to other asset classes, cryptocurrencies are the worst-performing asset class. From an index perspective, crypto assets in a broad sense experienced a significant sell-off last week, with the GMCI-30 index falling 12%. Most sectors closed lower. The gaming sector plummeted 21%. Layer 2 network sector plunges 19% The meme coin sector declined by 18%. Mid-cap and small-cap tokens fell by approximately 15%-16%. Only the AI (-3%) and DePIN (-4%) sectors showed relative resilience, mainly due to the strong performance of TAO tokens and AI proxy concept coins in the early part of last week. Overall, this volatility seems more like a money-driven phenomenon, consistent with the tightening liquidity following the Fed's decision, rather than caused by fundamental factors. So why are cryptocurrencies lagging behind while global risk assets are rising? In short: liquidity. But it's not a lack of liquidity, but rather a problem of where it flows. Global liquidity is clearly expanding. Central banks are intervening in relatively strong rather than weak markets, a situation that has only occurred a few times in the past, usually followed by a strong surge in risk appetite. The problem is that this new liquidity is not flowing into the crypto market as it has in the past. Stablecoin supply continues to climb steadily (up 50% year-to-date, adding $100 billion), but Bitcoin ETF inflows have stagnated since the summer, with assets under management hovering around $150 billion. The once-booming crypto treasury DAT has fallen silent, and related concept stocks listed on exchanges like Nasdaq have seen a significant drop in trading volume. Of the three major funding engines driving the market in the first half of this year, only stablecoins are still playing a role. ETF funding has peaked, DAT activity has dried up, and although overall liquidity remains ample, the share flowing into the crypto market has shrunk significantly. In other words, the tap for funds hasn't been turned off; it's just that the funds have flowed elsewhere. The novelty of ETFs has worn off, allocation ratios have become more normalized, and retail investors' funds have flowed elsewhere, turning to chase the trends in stocks, artificial intelligence, and prediction markets. Our Viewpoint The stock market performance proves that the market environment remains strong; liquidity has simply not yet been transmitted to the crypto market. Although the market is still digesting the 10/11 liquidation, the overall structure remains robust—leverage has been cleared, volatility is under control, and the macroeconomic environment is supportive. Bitcoin continues to act as a market anchor thanks to stable ETF inflows and tight exchange supply, while Ethereum and some L1 and L2 tokens have begun to show signs of relative strength. While a growing number of voices on crypto social media are attributing the price weakness to the four-year cycle theory, this concept is no longer truly applicable. In mature markets, the miner supply and halving mechanisms that once drove cycles have long since failed; the core factor truly determining price performance is now liquidity. The macroeconomic environment continues to provide strong support—the interest rate cut cycle has begun, quantitative tightening has ended, and the stock market is frequently hitting new highs—but the crypto market has lagged behind, primarily due to the lack of effective liquidity inflows. Compared to the three major drivers of capital inflows last year and in the first half of this year (ETFs, stablecoins, and DeFi yield assets), only stablecoins are currently showing a healthy trend. Close monitoring of ETF inflows and DAT activity will be key indicators, as these are likely to be the earliest signals of liquidity returning to the crypto market.

Dit onbekende crypto project wordt ineens super belangrijk: waarom?

Dit onbekende crypto project wordt ineens super belangrijk: waarom?

Deze week kijkt iedereen naar Bitcoin. Kunnen we boven de $100K blijven, of dalen we eronder? Maar op de achtergrond gebeuren een heleboel andere interessante dingen. Een daarvan is GEODNET. In het derde kwartaal van 2025 verstevigde het zijn positie als het grootste gedecentraliseerde RTK netwerk ter wereld, een infrastructuur die belangrijk is voor drones, zelfrijdende auto’s en precisielandbouw. En hoewel het project weinig aandacht krijgt buiten de techwereld, zet het cijfers neer waar zelfs grote DePIN spelers jaloers op zijn: +27,9% omzetgroei, $1,2 miljoen kwartaal inkomsten, en een stijgende koers ondanks een zwakke cryptomarkt. Check onze Discord Connect met "like-minded" crypto enthousiastelingen Leer gratis de basis van Bitcoin & trading - stap voor stap, zonder voorkennis. Krijg duidelijke uitleg & charts van ervaren analisten. Sluit je aan bij een community die samen groeit. Nu naar Discord Wat GEODNET doet GEODNET staat voor Global Earth Observation Decentralized Network. Het project bouwt een wereldwijd netwerk van RTK-stations (Real-Time Kinematics), dat zijn apparaten die satellietsignalen opvangen en omzetten in extreem nauwkeurige locatiegegevens (tot op 1 centimeter nauwkeurig). Dat is cruciaal voor sectoren zoals: Landmeetkunde (precisie-mapping en bouwprojecten) Landbouw (autonome tractoren en irrigatie) Drones (vliegen zonder menselijke besturing) Zelfrijdende voertuigen (navigatie en veiligheid) Het netwerk bestaat uit bijna 20.000 zogeheten “Satellite Miners” in meer dan 5.000 steden verspreid over 148 landen. Iedereen kan zo’n station op zijn terrein plaatsen en in ruil daarvoor GEOD tokens verdienen, vergelijkbaar met hoe Bitcoin miners werken, maar dan met bruikbare data in plaats van alleen rekenkracht. Groei in cijfers GEODNET kende in Q3 2025 een van zijn sterkste kwartalen ooit: Omzet: $1,2 miljoen (+27,9% kwartaal op kwartaal) Tokenprijs: +7,3% naar $0,16 Market cap: +7,3% naar $50,2 miljoen Nieuwe miners: +1.778 actieve stations Token burn: 6 miljoen GEOD geburnt (ter waarde van $975.000) Dat laatste is belangrijk: hoe meer GEOD wordt geburnt, hoe schaarser de token wordt. De stijgende burn activiteit wijst op groeiende vraag naar GEODNET data. Volgens Messari behoort GEODNET inmiddels tot de meest winstgevende DePIN projecten ter wereld. Slechts 25 van de 80 onderzochte projecten genereren überhaupt omzet, en GEODNET zit ver boven het gemiddelde.

Door deze overgang werd de liquiditeit geconsolideerd en sluit GEODNET zich aan bij het snelgroeiende DePIN ecosysteem van Solana. De overstap maakt snellere transacties en beter staking beheer mogelijk, terwijl Solana’s infrastructuur beter past bij toepassingen met veel dataverkeer. Daarnaast ontving GEODNET officiële RTK-certificering van Natural Resources Canada. Dat betekent dat de service nu officieel wordt erkend in Noord-Amerika, een belangrijke stap richting gebruik door overheden en grote bedrijven. Waarom dit ertoe doet GEODNET is meer dan gewoon een simpele cryptomunt. Ze bouwen een echte infrastructuur. Waar Bitcoin energie omzet in digitale waarde, zet GEODNET energie en hardware om in echte, nuttige data. De toepassingen zijn meetbaar en kunnen grote gevolgen hebben: Drones die preciezer vliegen Autonome landbouwmachines die minder verspillen Zelfrijdende auto’s die veiliger navigeren Bedrijven die niet meer afhankelijk zijn van dure GPS-abonnementen Dat maakt het project interessant voor zowel technologie liefhebbers en investeerders, als beleidsmakers. Het combineert decentralisatie met praktische toepassingen, en bewijst dat blockchain ook economische waarde kan creëren buiten speculatie.
