Bitcoin and Ethereum Roles Have Reversed! Whales Are Frantically Selling BTC and Buying ETH! What Does It Mean for ETH?

Bitcoin and Ethereum Roles Have Reversed! Whales Are Frantically Selling BTC and Buying ETH! What Does It Mean for ETH?

The post Bitcoin and Ethereum Roles Have Reversed! Whales Are Frantically Selling BTC and Buying ETH! What Does It Mean for ETH? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) failed to capitalize on the rally it experienced on Friday following Fed Chair Jermoe Powell’s subdued speech in Jackson Hole. That rally reversed over the weekend, with the price falling to $112,000. While the upward trend in BTC weakened, Ethereum (ETH) reached a new ATH over the weekend, and it is stated that giant whales are behind this rise in ETH. At this point, analysts said that Bitcoin OG whales are selling BTC and buying ETH, which is shifting capital to Ethereum and creating volatility in the market. WhaleWire CEO Jacob King said Bitcoin’s price crashed due to whale selling. According to Jacob King, the drop Bitcoin (BTC) experienced earlier today was triggered by a single whale selling over 24,000 BTC to buy Ethereum (ETH). The analyst stated in his post that he sold more than 24,000 BTC, including BTC that he had not moved for more than five years, and sent more than 12,000 BTC to the Hyperunite platform today alone. The analyst noted that this was part of a broader sell-off that has already seen 18,000 BTC ($2 billion) sold, with most of the money moving into Ethereum. According to the analyst, $2 billion was bought and $1.3 billion was staked. According to Lookonchain’s post, the Bitcoin OG whale, who bought 100,784 BTC (worth $642 million at the time, now $11.4 billion) 7 years ago, is frantically swapping his BTCs for Ethereum. Accordingly, over the last five days, the giant whale deposited 22,769 BTC ($2.59 billion) into Hyperliquid for sale. With this money, he purchased 472,920 ETH ($2.22 billion) from the spot market and opened a 135,265 ETH ($577 million) long position. No Single Whale Can Be Responsible for Bitcoin’s Decline! However, speaking to The Block, Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu said that it is difficult…

Metaplanet joins FTSE Japan Index after mid-cap upgrade

Metaplanet joins FTSE Japan Index after mid-cap upgrade

The post Metaplanet joins FTSE Japan Index after mid-cap upgrade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet, the Tokyo-based Bitcoin treasury firm, has been bumped into mid-cap territory and listed on the FTSE Japan Index, according to FTSE Russell’s September 2025 Semi-Annual Review. The upgrade followed the company’s financial performance in Q2 and its explosive rise on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The FTSE Japan Index is a collection of mid- and large-cap stocks traded in Japan, and entry into it automatically feeds companies like Metaplanet into the FTSE All-World Index, which is tracked by funds across international markets. The listing means passive investment capital from traditional finance now flows straight into a company holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet. Metaplanet’s treasury currently holds 18,888 BTC, ranking it as the seventh-largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder. That stash is larger than the holdings of Tesla, Coinbase, and Canadian miner Hut 8. Metaplanet is now also the largest BTC-holding company in Japan. The firm started life as a hotel operator but completely rebranded in 2024 to become a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company. Metaplanet’s market value climbs past traditional giants The company’s stock has soared over 700% in the past year, despite losing nearly half its value after peaking in mid-June. Even with that drop, the firm still trounced most benchmarks. In August, Metaplanet reported year-to-date gains of 187%, while the TOPIX Core 30, which tracks Japan’s largest blue-chip firms like Sony, Toyota, and Nintendo, only managed a 7.2% rise. Metaplanet’s breakout on the Tokyo market is now pulling in political interest. Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, plans to travel to Tokyo next month to attend Metaplanet’s shareholder meeting scheduled for September 1. Eric will also be in Hong Kong from August 28–29 for the Bitcoin Asia conference, further signaling his family’s deepening involvement in crypto markets. During the September 1 meeting, Metaplanet shareholders will vote on…

Leaked Document Fuels Talk of Ripple’s Hidden Agenda in Global Finance

Leaked Document Fuels Talk of Ripple’s Hidden Agenda in Global Finance

The post Leaked Document Fuels Talk of Ripple’s Hidden Agenda in Global Finance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fintech Ripple may be plotting a much bigger role in the future of money than previously thought. That’s the buzz circulating after a supposed leak from a former Swiss banker, who claims to have seen a confidential cooperation agreement involving Ripple, a major Swiss bank, and a U.S. blockchain infrastructure firm. Beyond Payments: Identity at the Core What raised eyebrows in the leak wasn’t just the mention of settlement rails, but references to biometric identity systems tied to financial transactions. The document allegedly outlines plans to merge compliance, digital ID, and tokenized assets into a single network that could use XRP as the neutral bridge. Analysts say this lines up with broader industry themes. JPMorgan recently called digital identity “the foundation of Web3,” arguing that a secure, verifiable identity layer will be as important as the payment rails themselves. Healthcare and Real-World Integration Hints of this shift can already be seen in Ripple’s partnerships. Earlier this year, Wellgistics Health revealed it was processing transactions across 6,500 U.S. pharmacies on the XRP Ledger, reducing fees and eliminating credit card middlemen. The development coincided with BlackRock’s launch of its XDNA ETF and President Donald Trump’s push for digital healthcare reforms — a timing some see as more than coincidence. Global Strategy With Political Ties Ripple has also been expanding aggressively in Africa and the Middle East through collaborations with firms like Chipper Cash and Onafriq, regions where experiments with identity-linked finance could scale quickly. Supporters view this as Ripple quietly laying the groundwork for a global settlement layer, while critics warn it could entrench corporate control over sensitive identity data. The political angle adds fuel to the fire. Trump’s administration has been promoting digital finance reform, and some speculate that Ripple’s infrastructure could align with these goals, especially in healthcare payments. Market…

XRP Flips BlackRock as Price Holds $3 – Analysts Eye $5 to $8 Next

XRP Flips BlackRock as Price Holds $3 – Analysts Eye $5 to $8 Next

The post XRP Flips BlackRock as Price Holds $3 – Analysts Eye $5 to $8 Next appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The post XRP Flips BlackRock as Price Holds $3 – Analysts Eye $5 to $8 Next appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News XRP is holding strong momentum after briefly touching $3.09 on August 23 before consolidating near $3.02. The move, backed by unusually high institutional trading volumes, has analysts watching the $3.30 resistance level as the key to unlock ambitious $5–$8 targets. XRP Flips BlackRock The standout moment came as XRP’s market cap hit $179 billion, overtaking BlackRock’s $177 billion. While BlackRock manages $10 trillion in assets, XRP at just $3 a coin managed to “flip” the Wall Street giant, sparking debate across financial circles. This wasn’t a meme rally; it was a showcase of how digital assets with real-world utility can challenge traditional finance. Why XRP Price  is Surging? Several factors have converged to fuel XRP’s rise. Ripple recently closed its long battle with the SEC, giving the token rare regulatory clarity. On top of that, ETFs tied to XRP are lining up for approval in October, Ripple is progressing toward a banking license, and its stablecoin RLUSD is in the pipeline. Together, these developments give institutions stronger reasons to bet on XRP as a long-term payments solution. Moreover, XRP price move also came after dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole. His remarks sparked hopes of September rate cuts, triggering a fresh wave of risk-on sentiment in global markets. Digital assets were big winners, and XRP, with its combination of utility and legal clarity, stood out as one of the top beneficiaries. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none;…

Cryptocurrency market wipes out $130 billion in 24 hours

Cryptocurrency market wipes out $130 billion in 24 hours

The post Cryptocurrency market wipes out $130 billion in 24 hours appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency market faced heavy selling pressure in recent hours as traders reacted to large whale movements and rising outflows from spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). As of press time, the global crypto market capitalization stood at $3.88 trillion, down from $4.01 trillion just 24 hours earlier, a $130 billion loss. Total global crypto market cap. Source: CoinMarketCap The sharp decline was led by Bitcoin (BTC), which slipped 2.61% in the past day to trade at $111,891 as of press time. On the weekly chart, the leading cryptocurrency has fallen 1.6%. Bitcoin seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold Bitcoin whale transaction shed $4,000 from BTC  The sell-off, which fueled broader investor skepticism, was sparked by a notable whale transaction. In this case, an unidentified whale sold 24,000 BTC worth more than $2.7 billion on Sunday. Consequently, this massive sale triggered an immediate $4,000 drop in Bitcoin’s price within minutes. Despite this move, the whale still holds 152,874 BTC valued at over $17 billion. If the wallet initiates additional sales, investors should brace for further market losses.

The second-largest cryptocurrency was trading at $4,659 at press time, reflecting a weekly loss of 2.89%. The sell-off has also been driven by waning institutional interest, as highlighted by rising ETF outflows. To this end, between August 18 and August 22, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net outflows of $1.17 billion, led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which saw $615 million in redemptions.

Matrixport: Funds are flowing out of Bitcoin ETFs, while Ethereum ETFs are leading the way

Matrixport: Funds are flowing out of Bitcoin ETFs, while Ethereum ETFs are leading the way

PANews reported on August 25th that a new report from Matrixport indicates a shift in funds from Bitcoin ETFs to Ethereum ETFs in the crypto market. Over the past six weeks, Ethereum products have consistently dominated capital flows, while Bitcoin ETFs have experienced a period of weakness, with net outflows occurring for six consecutive days last week. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs have seen continued net inflows, further solidifying their market leadership. Ethereum treasury institutions and their prominent investors continue to attract new capital and media attention, injecting new momentum into the market. Despite dovish signals from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell last week, Bitcoin's performance remains flat, with a significant impact from capital rotation. Beyond crypto market participants, some Wall Street investors are also showing increased interest in Ethereum.

Japan plans major crypto overhaul with flat 20% tax, pathway to ETFs

Japan plans major crypto overhaul with flat 20% tax, pathway to ETFs

The post Japan plans major crypto overhaul with flat 20% tax, pathway to ETFs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Japan and the United States are advancing crypto regulations, with Japan overhauling taxes and ETFs while the U.S sees key IRS leadership changes amid stablecoin legislation. Japan is now taking a major step towards embracing mainstream cryptocurrencies. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) is preparing a sweeping reform package that will combine tax revisions with regulatory upgrades, potentially opening the door to crypto-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Under the proposed changes, authorities will tax digital assets like equities and classify them as financial products. This will enable the FSA to enforce insider-trading rules, disclosure requirements, and investor protections under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. Japan’s crypto reforms Right now, crypto gains are taxed as “miscellaneous income,” with progressive rates that can exceed 50% including local levies, while equities and bonds face a flat 20% tax. The FSA plans to review the tax treatment for the 2026 fiscal year, proposing a separate 20% flat tax for crypto gains and a three-year loss carry-forward. Additionally, the FSA aims to reclassify digital assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, rather than the Payment Services Act. This would allow it to enforce investor protections, disclosure standards, and insider-trading rules, while also opening the door for domestic cryptocurrency ETFs. All this is evidence that Japan is pushing to integrate cryptocurrencies into mainstream finance through proposed tax reforms and regulatory updates. Although regulators have delayed the launch of the country’s first crypto ETF, they are carefully weighing risks such as price divergence, market manipulation, tax complexities, limited retail participation, and custodial security. Leadership changes Across the Pacific, Trish Turner, Head of the IRS’s Digital Assets Unit, announced that she is leaving to become tax director at Crypto Tax Girl, a firm specializing in cryptocurrency tax services. She joined the IRS after her predecessors, Sulolit…

Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: BTC Correction Amid Over $1 Billion ETF Outflows

Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: BTC Correction Amid Over $1 Billion ETF Outflows

The post Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: BTC Correction Amid Over $1 Billion ETF Outflows  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) price remains under pressure, consolidating above $111,980 support after dropping more than 3%. BTC pullback continued as weakening demand and profit-taking keep weighing in, as spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) saw over $1.15 billion in outflows. Bitcoin Spot ETFs Record the Highest Weekly Outflow in Five Months  Bitcoin price continued its correction over the weekend, having declined nearly 8% from its all-time high of $124,747 on August 14. The falling institutional demand fueled this price pullback. SoSoValue data shows that Bitcoin Spot ETFs have recorded a total of $1.15 billion in outflows until Thursday, the highest outflow since early March. If this outflow continues and intensifies, BTC could see further correction ahead. Total Bitcoin Spot ETF Net Inflow weekly chart. Source: SoSoValue On-chain Data Shows Profit-taking Activity Fuels BTC Correction  CryptoQuant’s weekly report on Wednesday highlighted that slowing demand and profit-taking are key drivers of the BTC correction.  The graph below shows that the BTC demand is continuing to weaken. Bitcoin Apparent Demand has dropped from its July peak of 174,000 BTC to 59,000 BTC on Wednesday. During the same period, the demand from major institutional buyers has also slowed, with 30-day ETF net purchases (red) standing at 11,000 BTC, their lowest level since April 25, and Strategy’s accumulation (grey) falling sharply from 171,000 BTC in November 2024 highs to 27,000 in the last 30 days, suggests fading momentum, which likely contributed to the recent price correction. If demand continues to soften, Bitcoin could remain in a consolidation phase or see further correction. Bitcoin Apparent Demand 30-day Sum (Left) Chart. Bitcoin Demand Growth 30-day (Right) Chart.

China set its strongest yuan fix since January after the U.S. dollar dropped

China set its strongest yuan fix since January after the U.S. dollar dropped

The post China set its strongest yuan fix since January after the U.S. dollar dropped appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China’s central bank pushed the yuan’s daily reference rate stronger on Monday than it has since January, reacting fast after Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech sent the dollar sliding. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the fix at 7.1161 per dollar, down from 7.1321 on Friday, the firmest level since November. According to Bloomberg, the dollar weakened after Powell left the door open for rate cuts, saying the labor market is showing signs of strain even though inflation still hasn’t cooled completely. The Dollar Spot Index fell 0.8% following his remarks. The onshore yuan gained slightly, trading at 7.1605 per dollar, after hitting 7.1593, its highest level since late July. But while the reference rate got stronger, the yuan lost ground against a broader set of currencies. Bloomberg’s gauge tracking China’s currency versus major peers showed a decline early in the session, even with Monday’s firmer fix. The fixing dropped below 7.12 for the first time since last November, a sign officials may be responding more aggressively to the greenback’s retreat and trying to keep the yuan stable amid renewed global pressure. Beijing pumps liquidity into market to calm bond stress The PBOC also moved aggressively to pump cash into the system this month. Beijing added 600 billion yuan ($84 billion) through a mix of one-year Medium-Term Lending Facility loans and three- and six-month outright reverse repos. Bloomberg’s tally showed this was the largest monthly liquidity injection since January. The injection came as yields surged in the latest 30-year government bond auction, with investors demanding the highest payouts since December. As the central bank added cash, China’s overnight repo rate fell to 1.35%, dropping seven basis points. Futures tied to 30-year government bonds also jumped as much as 0.7%, their strongest one-day rise since April. The goal is to…

Metaplanet Joins FTSE Japan Index: Upgraded to Mid-Cap

Metaplanet Joins FTSE Japan Index: Upgraded to Mid-Cap

The post Metaplanet Joins FTSE Japan Index: Upgraded to Mid-Cap appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FTSE Russell, a London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) subsidiary, announced on August 22 that Metaplanet has moved from the small-cap category to mid-cap. The company will join the FTSE Japan Index from September 22, a step that may raise its profile and attract institutional investment. FTSE Japan Entry Expands Global Reach The FTSE Japan Index measures the performance of large- and mid-cap Japanese companies through a market capitalization-weighted system. Global asset managers, including Vanguard, use the index as a benchmark for ETFs. Inclusion strengthens Metaplanet’s presence, as companies in the FTSE Japan Index are automatically added to the FTSE All-World Index. This step could boost liquidity and visibility while increasing passive capital inflows from funds tied to these indices. On August 13, Metaplanet reported consolidated financial results for Q2 2025. Revenue rose 41% year-on-year to about $8.15 million, while operating profit climbed 38% to $5.43 million. Bitcoin income dominated results. Through a put option selling strategy, the company earned $12.9 million, or 91% of total revenue. Metaplanet’s shareholder count surged past 128,000, representing a tenfold increase since it adopted a Bitcoin treasury approach. The company also expanded holdings. It purchased 775 BTC on August 18 and another 103 BTC on August 25, lifting total reserves to 18,991 BTC. Management aims to own 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. Rising NAV Premium and Institutional Demand Metaplanet raised $1.65 billion year-to-date through stock options to finance Bitcoin acquisitions. Executives said shares trade at a premium to net asset value (NAV) due to the rapid growth in Bitcoin yield per share, which surged 468% in 2025. Other factors include inflows from ETFs and systematic profits from Bitcoin volatility via put option strategies. These elements, combined with index inclusion, could drive sustained institutional demand. Metaplanet now stands out in Japan’s mid-cap segment, leveraging…
