Injective just ran about 10% to roughly $8.40 while Bitcoin spent the morning giving back its $80K reclaim — and the reason is a headline, not the market.
Nasdaq approved the listing of Canary Capital's staked INJ ETF (ticker INJC), the first US staked product for INJ. The fund plans to stake at least 90% of its holdings, with BitGo as custodian. That's a real door opening for institutional money that could never touch INJ directly.
But here's the part the pump posts skip: listing approval is not trading approval. The S-1 still has to go effective with the SEC before a single share trades, so today you're buying the headline, not the flow. And the chart knows it — INJ is up roughly 22% from its $6.82 low on Nov 3 and is now pressing the 0.618 Fib at $8.43, with the 4-hour RSI at 74.6. That's stretched. On the other hand, futures open interest climbed to 18.38M INJ from 17.34M on Tuesday with funding positive, which tells me fresh longs are actually being built, not just shorts getting squeezed.
My read: the ETF story is legitimate, but $8.43 is the test. A daily close above it and $9 comes into play fast. Rejection there, with BTC fading toward $77,100 ahead of tomorrow's jobs report, and this whole leg retraces just as quickly.
