🚀 Crypto News: BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Hits $10B Volume Record as Heavy Selling Signals Institutional Capitulation
#BlackRock #BitcoinETF #Bitcoin #cryptocurrency #institutionalselling #IBIT #ETFrecord #marketdownturn #capitulation #optionsmarket #derivatives #ETFoutflows #cryptonews #BTC
BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund recorded its highest trading volume on record on Thursday, underscoring signs of intensified institutional selling as Bitcoin slid toward the $60,000 level.According to Nasdaq data, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw more than 284 million shares traded, representing over $10 billion in notional value. The figure surpassed its previous volume record of 169.2 million shares set in November by roughly 69%.The surge in activity coincided with a sharp price decline. IBIT fell 13% on the day to below $35, its lowest level since October 2024, extending its year-to-date loss to 27%. The fund peaked near $71.82 in early October.Redemptions accelerate amid market stressIBIT also accounted for a significant share of ETF outflows. The fund saw $175.3 million in redemptions on Thursday, representing about 40% of the $434.1 million in net outflows across spot Bitcoin ETFs, according to data from SoSoValue.As the world’s largest publicly listed Bitcoin fund, IBIT holds physical Bitcoin and is designed to closely track spot prices. The product has served as a primary access point for institutions seeking regulated exposure to Bitcoin, which fell sharply during the session.Options market reflects peak fearDerivatives activity reinforced the bearish signal. IBIT options saw a pronounced skew toward downside protection, with longer-dated put options trading at a premium of more than 25 volatility points above call options, according to MarketChameleon.Such an extreme put bias is often associated with capitulation, a phase in which investors exit positions aggressively amid heightened fear and deteriorating sentiment.Market implicationsThe combination of record trading volume, accelerating redemptions, and defensive positioning in options markets suggests institutional investors may be entering the most intense selling phase of the current downturn. While capitulation can sometimes precede market stabilization, analysts caution that bear markets can persist longer than expected, even after peak fear emerges.#BlackRock #BitcoinETF #Bitcoin #cryptocurrency #institutionalselling #IBIT #ETFrecord #marketdownturn #capitulation #optionsmarket #derivatives #ETFoutflows #cryptonews #BTC
🚀 India's Central Bank Likely Ends Easing Cycle Amid Improved Economic Outlook
#India #CentralBank #EasingCycle #EconomicOutlook #Inflation #BilateralTrade #Tariffs #PreciousMetals #RateCuts #PolicyEasing
India's central bank may have concluded its easing cycle, according to a report by Capital Economics' Asia economist Shivaan Tandon. According to Jin10, Tandon noted that the recent bilateral trade agreements, which significantly reduced tariffs on Indian exports to the U.S., have moderately improved India's economic growth prospects. This development is likely a key reason for the central bank's decision to halt further policy easing. Additionally, the recent rise in precious metal prices has led the central bank to raise its inflation expectations. Tandon believes that given the improved economic outlook and inflation trending towards the 4% medium-term target, the threshold for resuming rate cuts is now considerably high.#India #CentralBank #EasingCycle #EconomicOutlook #Inflation #BilateralTrade #Tariffs #PreciousMetals #RateCuts #PolicyEasing

Volkswagen has announced that the success of its plan to produce a new pickup model in South Africa depends on the government's ability to provide better tax incentives and other industrial support measures. According to Jin10, Martina Biene, Chairperson of Volkswagen Group South Africa, emphasized the need for urgent policy actions from the South African government to make the investment economically viable. She wrote to President Cyril Ramaphosa in December, urging swift reforms.

Currently, only one-third of cars sold in South Africa are locally manufactured, a significant drop from 56% two decades ago. Biene mentioned that if all goes well, the company might start producing the first models at the Kariega plant by 2029 or 2030.#Volkswagen #SouthAfrica #PickupProduction #GovernmentIncentives #TaxIncentives #IndustrialSupport #PolicyReforms #Automakers #Imports #OperationalCosts #LocalManufacturing #CyrilRamaphosa #KariegaPlant #EconomicViability #AutomotiveIndustry

🚀 Carmignac Advises Caution Before Selling Emerging Market Bonds
#Carmignac #EmergingMarketBonds #EmergingEconomies #InterestRateCuts #HigherYields #DebtBurden #BondPerformance #MonetaryPolicies #Investment #AssetManagement
Traders should reconsider selling emerging market bonds, according to Paris-based asset management firm Carmignac. According to Jin10, Carmignac's fund manager Alessandra Alecci highlights that emerging economies are growing faster than developed ones, with some leaders demonstrating more responsible behavior and prudent monetary policies. Additionally, these economies have relatively lighter debt burdens. Expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts are driving investors to seek higher yields elsewhere, making funds tracking emerging market assets among the biggest beneficiaries. This week, while sell-offs in tech stocks and commodities impacted emerging market equities and some currencies, emerging market bonds remained relatively stable. Last year, emerging market bonds denominated in major currencies delivered a 12.2% return, marking the best performance since 2012. Alecci notes that although replicating last year's performance may be challenging, the upward momentum for bonds is not yet over.#Carmignac #EmergingMarketBonds #EmergingEconomies #InterestRateCuts #HigherYields #DebtBurden #BondPerformance #MonetaryPolicies #Investment #AssetManagement

🚀 Bitwise CEO Discusses Bitcoin's Bear Market Amid Broader Economic Trends
#Bitcoin #BearMarket #Crypto #Macroeconomy #InvestorSentiment #LiquidityAssets #InstitutionalInvestors #LongTermOutlook #Volatility #MarketTrends #Bitwise #BTC
Bitcoin has experienced a significant decline, entering a bear market with a year-to-date drop of nearly 30%, according to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley in an interview with CNBC. According to ChainCatcher, Horsley attributed the downturn to the broader macroeconomic environment, where investors are selling off liquid assets, including gold, the Nasdaq 100, and Amazon.
Horsley noted that while the crypto sector has faced its own challenges, such as operational disruptions at some offshore exchanges, the current trend is more aligned with the movement of other high-liquidity assets. Long-term holders are feeling uncertain, whereas new institutional investors see this as a 'second chance' to buy at prices they thought they had missed.
He emphasized that the crypto market is still a relatively small asset class, with most investors yet to fully allocate to it. Despite the current volatility, Horsley believes the long-term outlook remains solid, viewing the present situation as a transitional phase.#Bitcoin #BearMarket #Crypto #Macroeconomy #InvestorSentiment #LiquidityAssets #InstitutionalInvestors #LongTermOutlook #Volatility #MarketTrends #Bitwise #BTC

Canada has established a new consulate in Greenland, sharing facilities with the Icelandic government and operated by a small team.
