ETF

A crypto ETF is a regulated investment fund that tracks the price of one or more digital assets and trades on traditional stock exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq.Following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the 2026 market now includes Solana ETFs and diversified Altcoin Baskets. ETFs serve as the primary vehicle for institutional capital and retirement funds (401k/IRA) to enter the Web3 space. This tag tracks regulatory approvals, AUM (Assets Under Management) inflows, and the impact of Wall Street on crypto liquidity.

Macro Meets Crypto: Predicting Prices with CPI, Fed Rates & BTC Dominance

Macro Meets Crypto: Predicting Prices with CPI, Fed Rates & BTC Dominance

Institutional money has changed how crypto trades. Bitcoin and Ethereum now respond to economic news in ways that mirror traditional assets. Reports on the CPI, inflation, and interest rates move prices. This shift means macroeconomic indicators are no longer optional for crypto traders. They are part of the core playbook. This article explains how official data on inflation, central bank rates, and crypto-specific indicators like Bitcoin dominance can help anticipate market trends. The analysis draws on macro releases, crypto charts, and research from large trading desks. The goal is not to predict exact moves but to offer a practical guide to understanding how broader economic trends shape crypto performance. Inflation and Bitcoin: CPI’s Growing Grip on Crypto Inflation started rising sharply in early 2022. The Consumer Price Index , reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, reached nine percent year-over-year in June. Bitcoin fell six percent within three days of that release. Investors moved out of risk assets, expecting tighter financial conditions. This pattern continued through 2023 and 2024. When CPI came in lower than forecasts, Bitcoin often rebounded. For example, in November 2022, the month-over-month print was 0.1 percent against a forecast of 0.3 percent. Bitcoin gained nearly four percent within two days. CPI for all items rises 0.1% in May; shelter up #BLSData https://t.co/dJyJeKmvth — BLS-Labor Statistics (@BLS_gov) June 11, 2025 This repeated reaction suggests Bitcoin now trades more like tech stocks. It does not act like a hedge against inflation in the short term. Instead, it follows interest rate expectations. If inflation readings push the Federal Reserve toward cuts, traders often rotate into crypto. If inflation jumps, traders exit fast. CPI for May 2025 showed price growth slowing toward the Federal Reserve’s target. If that trend continues, investors may add risk again. However, if energy costs or wages lift inflation above forecasts, expectations may shift back toward tightening. Traders will likely adjust positions in Bitcoin and Ethereum based on these releases. CPI releases now act as drivers of short-term price direction. Fed Rates and Ethereum: Liquidity Cycles in Action The Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in March 2022. That cycle lasted until mid-2023, with the target range reaching 5.25 to 5.5 percent. Each increase indicated tighter liquidity. Ethereum often fell in the days following these announcements, mirroring declines in growth-focused equities. Ethereum Price 2022 (Source: CoinMarketCap) Ethereum’s sensitivity to rate decisions became clear in several key moments. After the June 2022 hike of 75 basis points, ETH dropped by over eight percent within 48 hours. The same pattern repeated in September. By contrast, when the Fed paused in July 2023, ETH rebounded by nearly five percent over the next three trading sessions. However, one exception came in March 2023. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank triggered panic in financial markets. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points but indicated it might stop soon. That shift helped ETH recover as it climbed from under $1,400 to over $1,800 within three weeks. These events show Ethereum’s link to monetary policy. Rate hikes tighten conditions and push ETH down. Pauses or signs of easing often lead to sharp rebounds. Ethereum trades like a proxy for risk appetite in a liquidity-driven market. Bitcoin Dominance: Crypto’s Own Macro Gauge Bitcoin dominance tracks the percentage of total crypto market value held in Bitcoin. When dominance rises, it often reflects a retreat to safety. During periods of macro tightening, investors reduce exposure to smaller tokens and move capital into Bitcoin. This behavior mirrors broader risk-off patterns. U.S. Interest Rate 2015-2025 (Federal Reserve Bank) From late 2021 through 2022, Bitcoin dominance climbed from under 40 percent to nearly 48 percent. That move came during sharp inflation spikes, and a series of Fed rate increases as the market pulled back from speculative assets. Dominance rose again in mid-2023, just before the Fed indicated a pause, and fell shortly after. This pattern supports a familiar cycle. In early risk-on phases, Bitcoin leads. Once it stabilizes, capital rotates into Ethereum, then into altcoins with lower market value. Drops in dominance often mark the beginning of these rotations. The index can act as a sign of changing sentiment within the market. Bitcoin dominance reflects how crypto investors respond to broader economic shifts. It can function like a barometer—trending upward when uncertainty grows and falling when conditions favor higher risk exposure. Institutional Macro Forecasts and the Next 90 Days Institutional research over the past year has increasingly tied macro indicators to digital asset performance. In an October 2024 report, Crypto.com Research stated: “Economic growth may generally indicate a more favourable environment for cryptocurrencies, but the impact will vary depending on other market conditions.” They noted that “increasing correlation between traditional markets and cryptocurrencies means that stock market performance may potentially provide valuable insights into potential crypto trends.” Looking ahead, the next 90 days include several macro events that could affect crypto direction. The July CPI data is due on August 12, with consensus forecasting a YoY increase of 2.8 percent. The next FOMC meeting is on September 17, where markets currently price a 25 basis point cut. The August nonfarm payroll report (due September 6) and Q2 GDP revision (August 29) also stand out as volatility triggers. These dates offer key decision points. A lower CPI print could reinforce Fed easing expectations and push capital into risk assets. On the other hand, a stronger-than-expected payroll may reduce those expectations. ETF-related flows and crypto-native reactions will likely hinge on these cues, reinforcing the case that macro indicators now drive the broader crypto narrative. Conclusion: A Macro-Informed Strategy Macroeconomic indicators now play a measurable role in shaping the crypto market direction. Inflation data, central bank policy , and internal metrics like Bitcoin dominance have shown clear relationships with past price shifts in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. These signs, when aligned, can offer a grounded framework for interpreting future moves. While no model captures every turn, tracking CPI releases, FOMC decisions, and market reactions allows for more informed positioning. Macro data will not replace crypto-native analysis, but it adds a broader context that is becoming harder to ignore. Keeping an economic calendar in view may prove as useful as any technical chart.

July Expert Predictions: Where Are BTC, ETH, and SOL Headed This Month?

July Expert Predictions: Where Are BTC, ETH, and SOL Headed This Month?

Key Takeaways : Bitcoin holds above $100,000 with strong ETF inflows, ending Q2 with gains over 30%. Ethereum remains below $3,000 but saw its revenue jump 133.7% over three months, outpacing Solana. Solana enters a critical July with key support at $130 and resistance near $160, as experts see potential for $175 or a drop to $115. Solana’s active addresses grew by 31.9%, driven by meme coin trading on Pump.Fun, while Ethereum’s user numbers stayed largely unchanged. Bitcoin (BTC) held its ground in June, but traders are wondering if it still has fuel left for a summer rally. Ethereum (ETH), meanwhile, continues to hover below key resistance levels, with the market waiting for a decisive move. And Solana (SOL) remains the hot topic of the season, pushing new projects and narratives despite market uncertainties. What’s next for these top three? From ETF flows and on-chain activity to price targets and upcoming catalysts, here’s what experts are watching in July. Table of Contents In This Article Bitcoin Holds Strong as Altseason Hopes Build Solana’s Path to $300: Breakout or Breakdown Ahead? Ethereum Stalls – Calm Before a Jump? Conclusion Key Crypto Events to Watch in July 2025 In This Article Bitcoin Holds Strong as Altseason Hopes Build Solana’s Path to $300: Breakout or Breakdown Ahead? Ethereum Stalls – Calm Before a Jump? Show Full Guide Conclusion Key Crypto Events to Watch in July 2025 Bitcoin Holds Strong as Altseason Hopes Build Some analysts believe July could finally bring the start of altseason, but for that to happen, Bitcoin’s dominance may need to soften first. So far, the leading cryptocurrency isn’t backing down. Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and public disagreements between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, Bitcoin remains resilient. Abbass Abdul Sater , Head of Sales at Capital.com , told Cryptonews that institutional interest continues to support Bitcoin’s position after its recent weekly gains: Bitcoin is currently trading near the $110,000 mark at the start of Monday’s session, after rising more than 7% over the past week. He added that strong buying activity has kept BTC above $100,000 since May, with price movements staying within a clear range: Since breaking above the $100,000 level for the second time this year in early May, Bitcoin has been trading within a relatively tight range between $102,000 and $110,000, with brief swings in both directions. 24h 7d 30d 1y All time Spot Bitcoin ETFs also continue to reflect overall market sentiment. Abdul Sater noted that June 24 saw net inflows reach $588.06 million – the highest daily inflow since May’s peak of $934.80 million on May 22. According to CoinGlass , there were only three days of outflows in June: $267.5 million on June 1, $47.80 million on June 6, and another smaller outflow later in the month. This pattern suggests investor confidence remains strong despite occasional pullbacks. Abdul Sater added: Despite this relative consolidation, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded strong inflows last week, with June 24 marking their highest single-day inflow since May. At the same time, the number of publicly listed companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets continues to grow. This steady performance underlines why BTC continues to dominate the market, even as traders keep their eyes on altcoins for bigger short-term moves this summer. Solana’s Path to $300: Breakout or Breakdown Ahead? One trend emerging this summer is Solana’s continued growth in active addresses, likely driven by strong meme coin trading activity. Pump.Fun, the main meme coin launchpad, operates on Solana, bringing in high daily user numbers. Over the past three months, Solana’s active addresses grew by 31.9%, while Ethereum, one of its main competitors, remained stable with a modest increase of 6.1%. Eneko Knörr , CEO and co-founder of Stabolut , told Cryptonews that July will be crucial for SOL’s next move. He noted that Solana is approaching a key technical zone that could determine whether its price breaks out or turns lower: Solana faces a critical July with its $153–$160 resistance and $141–$130 support, potentially resolving via a breakout to $175 or breakdown to $115. Key catalysts include the July 2 launch of the $SSK ETF (featuring 5–8% staking yield) and blockchain upgrades. Looking ahead, Knörr outlined two long-term scenarios for Solana depending on market conditions and ETF momentum: Long-term, SOL could reach $300 by 2025, with $1,000 possible under broad ETF approvals, fueled by institutional demand and network scalability. According to expert, if ETF momentum picks up in the second half of the year, Solana could continue closing the revenue gap with Ethereum and position itself as a real challenger in the next bull cycle. 24h 7d 30d 1y All time Ethereum Stalls – Calm Before a Jump? After its strong rally in May, Ethereum hasn’t yet delivered the long-awaited $3,000 mark. However, in June, ETH reached its local high for the past three months, trading above $2,800. While the monthly performance closed slightly negative at -1.3%, this period of price stagnation may not be a bad sign. 24h 7d 30d 1y All time Some analysts argue that when Ethereum pauses like this, it can signal an upcoming altseason . The fact that ETH held its ground without sharp drops shows underlying market stability, even as Bitcoin continues to dominate headlines. $ETH has respected every support zone since 2022. If you have this chart, you'll know exactly when to buy it. Now, it's showing a target of $4K in Q3 and a new ATH by October. Do you think it's possible? pic.twitter.com/nTzu6E7mzo — Cipher X (@Cipher2X) July 3, 2025 While Ethereum’s number of active addresses has remained largely unchanged, its revenue grew by 133.7% over the past three months, surpassing Solana’s growth of just 8.3% during the same period. This means Ethereum has overtaken its main competitor in terms of revenue growth for now. Whether ETH breaks above $3,000 this summer remains uncertain, but its stable price and rising on-chain revenue suggest it’s far from losing its place as the leading altcoin. Conclusion Bitcoin continues to hold its ground above $100,000, showing resilience despite geopolitical tensions. Solana enters a critical month with potential catalysts that could push its price higher or send it lower, while Ethereum stays stable below $3,000 but shows strong growth in on-chain revenue. Whether these signals point to a true altseason remains to be seen, but analysts agree that July will set the tone for the rest of the summer.
