Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Ninth Straight Day of Inflows, $403M Added

U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Ninth Straight Day of Inflows, $403M Added

U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) extended their winning streak to nine consecutive days on Tuesday, attracting a total of $403 million in net inflows, according to data from SoSoValue . Key Takeaways: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their inflow streak to nine days, adding $403 million on Tuesday. Despite gains, outflows hit Grayscale’s GBTC, Fidelity’s FBTC, and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB. Ethereum spot ETFs also recorded eight straight days of inflows, adding $192 million. Leading the charge was BlackRock’s IBIT, which alone saw $416.35 million in new money, followed by VanEck’s HODL with $19 million. Other funds such as Grayscale’s Mini Bitcoin Trust and Bitwise’s BITB also reported positive inflows for the day. Notable Outflows Hit Grayscale, Fidelity, and Ark Bitcoin Funds However, the gains were partially offset by outflows from three funds: Grayscale’s GBTC lost $41.22 million, Fidelity’s FBTC saw $23 million exit, and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB dropped by $6.21 million. Spot bitcoin ETFs have now amassed a cumulative total of $53.07 billion in net inflows, with $4.4 billion added over the past nine trading days alone. The surge builds on a strong run that began in April, during which these funds have drawn nearly $17 billion. Ethereum spot ETFs have followed suit, marking their eighth straight day of net inflows, with $192.33 million added on Tuesday. Bitcoin currently trades at $117,373, holding steady near a key support level despite pulling back from a recent all-time high of $123,000 set earlier this week. “Bitcoin has been able to maintain a solid position at around $118K after core CPI data was lower than expected, prompting speculation that the Fed will be more likely to cut interest rates in September, potentially leading to a surge of demand for bitcoin,” said Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research. #BTC we’re back at $116K as planned. CPI drops in an hour. IMO we’ll either see a quick liquidity grab below or hold this level and push higher. pic.twitter.com/lSkgGcB2au — Mind Over Market | by Llamito🎩 (@LlamitoCharts) July 15, 2025 Last week, US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded over $1 billion in inflows for two straight days. On Friday, 11 spot Bitcoin ETF products reported combined inflows totaling $1.03 billion, following $1.17 billion the previous day. Recently, BlackRock reported earning more revenue from IBIT than from its flagship iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. 95% Approval Chance for Spot Solana, XRP ETFS As reported, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analysts have assigned a 95% chance that the SEC will approve spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin this year, raising their previous odds from 90% amid growing optimism for institutional crypto products. They also expect a crypto index ETF tracking multiple assets could gain approval as early as this week, signaling broader access to altcoins for traditional investors. Beyond ETFs, institutional Bitcoin demand is spreading into corporate treasuries. Japan’s Metaplanet recently bought $93 million worth of BTC , becoming the fifth-largest corporate holder with a stack exceeding 16,300 BTC. France’s The Blockchain Group and the UK’s Smarter Web Company also made new BTC treasury allocations this week, purchasing $12.5 million and $24.3 million worth of Bitcoin respectively.

Wall Street Giant ProShares Launches 2x Leveraged Solana and XRP ETFs – Institutions Coming?

Wall Street Giant ProShares Launches 2x Leveraged Solana and XRP ETFs – Institutions Coming?

Wall Street investment firm ProShares has announced the launch of two new leveraged exchange-traded funds: the ProShares Ultra Solana ETF (SLON) and the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF (UXRP) . Both products offer 2x leveraged exposure to the performance of Solana and XRP, respectively, two of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. #Solana News: @ProShares Ultra @solana ETF officially filed with #SEC . (Not a Spot ETF, another $SOL price index tracking ETF) ProShares Ultra Solana ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily… pic.twitter.com/6o8YRF85Zl — MartyParty (@martypartymusic) July 15, 2025 The newly launched SLON and UXRP expand ProShares’ existing portfolio of leveraged crypto-linked ETFs, which collectively manage more than $1.5 billion in assets. ProShares Granted NYSE Arca Approval—Could XRP And SOL Trading Begin This Week? In an official announcement dated July 15, ProShares CEO Michael L. Sapir stated, “As cryptocurrencies become more widely adopted, investors are turning to platforms like Solana and XRP for exposure to next-generation blockchain technologies.” However, these ETFs do not hold cryptocurrencies directly. Instead, ProShares employs financial derivatives and debt instruments to amplify returns from the underlying assets. This structure means the SOL and XRP ETFs are designed to deliver daily returns that are double (2x) the benchmark’s price performance, magnifying both gains and losses. The launch follows ProShares’ receipt of approval for listing from the New York Stock Exchange Arca (NYSE Arca), as stated in a letter submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14. NYSE Arca, one of the largest exchanges in the United States, has validated the product’s regulatory compliance and market readiness. 🔔 The SEC has cleared ProShares to debut three XRP futures ETFs this week, though spot ETF applications are still pending. #ProShares #XRPETF https://t.co/B3UoTew2Ir — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) April 28, 2025 This development creates new opportunities for institutional investors to gain exposure to XRP and SOL through traditional stock market channels, offering a more accessible and regulated pathway compared to direct cryptocurrency trading. Additionally, futures-based crypto ETFs have historically secured regulatory approvals and commenced trading more rapidly than their spot counterparts. While the exact trading commencement date for SLON and UXRP remains unconfirmed, market observers have speculated that trading could begin as early as this week. This launch occurs within the context of a maturing cryptocurrency market, demonstrating the continued integration of digital assets into traditional financial infrastructure. Double Returns, Double Risk: What 2x Leverage Really Means For both Solana and Ripple, these ETFs could potentially enhance market liquidity and attract additional institutional capital from financial companies that have previously remained cautious due to volatility concerns and regulatory uncertainty. However, these investment vehicles carry inherent risks that cannot be overlooked. Given their objective of achieving double daily returns, the ETFs may experience heightened volatility amplification from underlying asset price fluctuations, particularly during periods of market instability. If we were able to document euphoria in a single chart, this could be one of them. Leveraged ETF exposure is at all-time highs, and the vast majority of that exposure is within leveraged long exposure. This amplifies tail risks if we see a meaningful drawdown as many would sell pic.twitter.com/DdYWWxkj4C — Markets & Mayhem (@Mayhem4Markets) November 30, 2024 Following the announcement, both XRP and SOL experienced price declines , with the Ripple-backed token falling 3.11% and Solana declining 3.96% over the same trading period. ProShares’ entry into leveraged XRP and Solana ETFs follows similar moves by other firms. In April, Teucrium launched the first XRP futures ETF , which recorded more than $5 million in trading volume on its debut day, marking the firm’s most successful product launch to date. Similarly, in March, Volatility Shares LLC introduced the first Solana ETFs : the Volatility Shares Solana ETF (SOLZ), which tracks Solana futures, and the Volatility Shares 2X Solana ETF (SOLT), offering leveraged exposure. ProShares’ Billion-Dollar Crypto ETF Empire ProShares has maintained a leadership position in the ETF space since 2006, currently managing over $85 billion in assets and offering one of the industry’s most comprehensive ETF lineups. The firm introduced cryptocurrency ETF offerings with the launch of the first U.S. bitcoin-linked ETF (BITO) in October 2021. ProShares data shows first #BTC futures-backed #ETF is still trading at a modest premium despite initial worries.

In January, ProShares submitted proposals for three XRP-based funds, including UXRP, a Short XRP ETF, and an Ultra Short XRP ETF. Multiple financial firms have submitted proposals for ETFs tracking cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, with Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin emerging as the most prominent alternatives under consideration.
