Bitcoin ETFs just bled $265M in a brutal 24 hours, and Ethereum’s supposed rescue is another BlackRock illusion
U.S. spot Bitcoin funds posted net outflows of $265.4 million on July 31, reversing a $233.1 million inflow the previous session. Ethereum showed a $9 million net inflow, but only because BlackRock’s staked Ethereum fund drew more than the group gained overall.Every Bitcoin product displayed in Farside’s July 31 table was flat or negative. BlackRock’s IBIT lost $122.7 million, Fidelity’s FBTC lost $54.8 million, and Grayscale’s GBTC lost $52.6 million. BITB and ARKB lost another $17.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively.

How thin weekend Bitcoin liquidity turns minor geopolitical news into massive Monday price gaps for ETF holders
An investor who owns Bitcoin through a brokerage account can finish work on Friday, check the closing price of a spot ETF, and assume the position is done moving for the week.Bitcoin, however, has other plans.Between Friday’s close and Monday’s opening bell, Donald Trump can announce a tariff, a war can escalate, oil can jump, a bank can fail, or a government can change the outlook for inflation and interest rates. Bitcoin processes each development across global exchanges while US-listed ETF shares remain outside their normal session.So when Wall Street finally reopens, the fund doesn’t resume where it finished: its…

One public crypto firm just staked its way to breaking even, but a $50M paper loss and 66% dilution threat tell a darker story
Stablecoin Development Corporation, a public company built around holding and staking Sky Protocol’s SKY governance token, reported that $2.2 million of second-quarter staking revenue roughly matched its company-defined cash operating expenses.The comparison used reported dollar values: SDEV received the rewards in SKY and sold none during the quarter, meaning SDEV would need to sell tokens before using the rewards to pay operating costs.SDEV calculated cash operating expenses, a non-GAAP measure, by subtracting about $3.2 million of noncash stock compensation from $5.4 million of general and administrative expense. The result was approximately $2.2 million. The company earned 31.7 million SKY during…

A major Japanese Bitcoin mining pool just pulled the plug on its Bitcoin service just as 3 mega-miners claimed 60% of the network
By the time SBI Crypto pulled the plug on its Bitcoin pool in Japan on July 31, its seven-day average hashrate had fallen 64% in a month. Later that day, a Hashrate Index reading put Foundry USA, AntPool and F2Pool at 60% of recent blocks. The timing makes them look connected. Weekly data tell a messier story.

Louisiana just armed crypto ATM users with a legal cheat code to demand full refunds from unlicensed operators
Starting Aug. 1, Louisiana users may cancel a virtual-currency-kiosk transaction made on or after that date and demand a full refund at any time if the machine’s owner or operator was unlicensed when the transaction occurred.Act 482 puts the cost of an eligible refund on the operator. Eligibility depends on the operator’s license status when the transaction occurred, so the provision does not cover every kiosk payment. The act separately preserves Louisiana’s general rule requiring an operator to hold a transaction for 72 hours or allow the user to cancel within 72 hours for a full refund. The measure takes…
If the Fed trusts this single 2.2% metric, Bitcoin could break $65.3k and ignite a path to $68k
Bitcoin is trading near $63,000, with rate markets assigning roughly 66% odds to a September Federal Reserve hike, under a policy framework Kevin Warsh has left partly hidden.The Fed chair has defined his reaction function around “underlying inflation,” then declined to disclose how he weighs the indicators that produce that judgment.The official dashboard spans 1.5 percentage points: headline PCE runs at 3.7%, core PCE at 3.3%, the Atlanta Fed’s sticky-price CPI at 2.8%, Cleveland Fed 10-year expected inflation at 2.43%, and the Dallas Fed’s trimmed-mean PCE at 2.2%.One economy supplies readings from nearly twice the Fed’s 2% goal to barely…
Tether claims $1.5B profit, but hidden math reveals a $4.2B hit that halved its safety cushion in 90 days
Tether’s second-quarter materials report $1.5 billion in net operating profit, earned mainly from Treasuries and repo activity. However, the attached reserve report shows a negative $3.17 billion first-half financial result, and the company’s materials do not reconcile the two figures.Subtracting the first quarter’s positive $1.04 billion financial result from that first-half figure implies a negative $4.211 billion result for the second quarter alone.After an $89 million net capital offset, the implied hit reduced the cushion above roughly $184 billion of liabilities from $8.23 billion to $4.11 billion in three months.Reconstructing the missing numberTether’s implied financial result is negative $4.211 billion…
