Ethereum ETFs, still lagging behind Bitcoin, are awaiting the blessing of staking to rise. The SEC could seal their fate by the end of 2025, but uncertainty remains.
The halving, once the war drum of the bull market, has fallen silent. In the silence, Bitcoin seeks a new rhythm in a crypto market that dances differently.
2025 could mark a point of no return for crypto. As traditional markets navigate between uncertainties and capricious interest rates, financial institutions seem to have found their new compass: digital assets. According to a recent study by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon, 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their allocations to crypto starting next year. A shocking figure that conceals a more complex reality, but above all, a profound transformation of investment strategies. Far from clichés about volatility, crypto is becoming a pillar of institutional portfolios.

The crypto market is going through a period of tension, and the numbers speak for themselves. While Bitcoin is moving in a zone of uncertainty, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on the first cryptocurrency are experiencing a concerning wave of withdrawals. In just three days, $494 million has left these investment vehicles, indicating a weakening of buying momentum and a growing climate of caution among investors. The ETFs, which were supposed to bring new stability to the Bitcoin market, are now struggling in the face of an increased downward trend. Between institutional caution and declining investor enthusiasm, the situation highlights tensions that could weigh on Bitcoin's evolution in the coming weeks.
Ethereum is at the center of unprecedented selling pressure. While Bitcoin continues to deliver strong performances, the second-largest cryptocurrency is struggling to regain its shine. A critical signal for investors? Since November 2024, short positions on Ethereum have skyrocketed by 500%, a level never reached before. Hedge funds, these seasoned institutional investors, are heavily betting on a collapse in ETH prices, further intensifying market volatility. If the extreme pessimism in the markets were to reverse, a brutal short squeeze could trigger a rapid price surge.

Financial markets sometimes hold paradoxes. While Bitcoin is experiencing a new surge, surpassing the symbolic threshold of 100,000 dollars, one surprising element stands out: the absence of individual investors. After the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the Bitcoin futures market witnessed a rapid rise, with an increase of 1.2 billion dollars in just 24 hours. However, instead of widespread enthusiasm, the data reveals a significant retreat of small investors, whose activity has dropped by 50% since November 2024. This phenomenon highlights a profound transformation in the market, where financial institutions are taking over from individuals. Should we see this as a mere cyclical adjustment or a lasting change in the evolution of Bitcoin?

Ethereum is establishing itself as a major focal point in a booming crypto market. Indeed, the open interest in its futures has reached a record high of 9 million ETH, revealing a growing appetite among institutional players.

In this context, a question arises: Is ETH poised to break the symbolic barrier of $4000, despite the challenges posed by volatility and global uncertainties?

The crypto market, characterized by sustained volatility, continues to surprise with the failure of predictions. While massive sell-offs have dominated trading in recent days, a report published by CoinShares highlights a singular phenomenon: institutional investors have significantly increased their positions in crypto products. Indeed, with net inflows reaching $308 million in a week, these investments sharply contrast with the general downward trend. This institutional support, although counterintuitive in an environment of strong economic pressure, reflects a strategic confidence in the potential of cryptos. Concurrently, the data reveals marked divergences among products, reflecting a reconfiguration of investment priorities. This dynamic paves the way for an in-depth analysis of the motivations of institutions and their implications for the future of crypto markets.
