BlackRock has officially submitted a filing for a Staked Ethereum ETF, named the iShares Ethereum Staking Trust — a major step toward bringing on-chain yield directly to traditional markets.
This move shows a clear shift in the SEC’s attitude under new leadership, signaling growing acceptance of staking-based products. If approved, it could unlock massive institutional demand for ETH and reshape yield generation across the crypto ecosystem.
🇺🇸 **BREAKING NEWS:** Fed Chair Jerome Powell just sent shockwaves through global markets.
In a calm but heavy statement, Powell revealed that a **new digital asset is rapidly rising as a legitimate competitor to gold** — though he emphasized it poses *no threat* to the US dollar… *yet.*
The reaction was instant: Silence. Charts paused. Traders froze — trying to decode what Powell really meant and what’s unfolding behind the scenes.
This wasn’t a normal comment. It felt like the quiet announcement of a **new financial era**, delivered with almost surgical timing.
And now, all eyes have shifted to President Trump. Because everyone knows one thing for sure: **Trump won’t stay quiet.** His response could be explosive, confident, and possibly the start of a new financial strategy for America.
The world is watching. The crypto market is watching. And everyone is waiting for what comes next.
I’m watching $GLMR , and that surge has been wild! 🚀
It’s up nearly 49% today, currently trading around $0.0375.
Price tapped the 24h high at $0.0421, where it met strong resistance, but the consolidation since then looks healthy. If momentum holds, I’m watching closely to see whether it attempts another breakout toward that high.

Cooler YOY inflation without a MoM surprise is exactly the balanced print traders wanted — not too hot, not too cold. This keeps the Fed pivot narrative alive, boosts risk-on sentiment, and gives bulls fresh momentum going into the next session.
🔥 Now all eyes are on how aggressively markets will price in earlier rate cuts.
The softening inflation trend continues — and that means volatility is about to ramp up fast.
MARA Trades at a Premium — Not a Discount — When You Factor In Its Debt, Says VanEck’s Matthew Sigel.
According to Sigel, Marathon Digital’s valuation looks expensive once you account for its leverage and capital structure, challenging the idea that MARA is undervalued compared to other mining stocks.
🔥 Market Shock: Heavy Red Across Multiple Altcoins Today
Today’s charts are filled with deep pullbacks as several altcoins face strong selling pressure. Tokens like #LIGHT , #RLS , #PTB , AIA, $BOB , $LYN , $MAVIA , and OBOL have all dropped between 15% to 19%, showing a clear wave of panic selling and liquidity washouts across the board.
But here’s the interesting part — such sharp declines often create fresh opportunities for disciplined traders. When volatility spikes and weak hands exit, strong entries usually appear for those who wait for confirmation instead of fear.
The market is red, sentiment is shaky, but moments like these often shape the next big rebound.
According to Paul Howard of Wincent, Bitcoin is likely to trade sideways between $85,000 and $95,000 through December, as reported by CoinDesk.
The reason? Low December liquidity may suppress major $BTC moves. However, this sets up a strong rotation environment for altcoins, as traders often shift capital when Bitcoin consolidates.
🌏 A key macro trigger to watch: the upcoming interest rate decision by the Bank of Japan — which could reignite global risk appetite if rates stay unchanged.
💡 Bottom Line:
Sideways BTC doesn’t mean a dead market — it often marks the start of altcoin momentum.
🚨 Market Outlook: Bitcoin May Stay Range-Bound Into Year-End
An analyst from Wincent says Bitcoin could continue chopping below $95K through December due to thin year-end liquidity.
According to Paul Howard, low trading volume may cap BTC’s recovery, but this environment often favors altcoins, as traders rotate into smaller-cap assets seeking higher volatility and returns.
💡 Key Takeaway:
While $BTC may stay stuck in a range, altcoins could quietly outperform as liquidity shifts across the market.
