Key takeaways Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $3 billion across eight consecutive sessions of positive inflows. Upcoming US inflation and growth data could influence interest-rate expectations and short-term market direction. Holding support between $80,000 and $82,000 could support another attempt at $85,000, with $90,000 a potential subsequent target. Bitcoin has dipped 1% over the past 24 hours, but its recovery remains within a broader consolidation following the recent advance toward $85,000. The retreat from that level has been interpreted as profit-taking after a strong rally. Continued institutional inflows support the bullish case, although the shorter-term chart suggests the correction has not…

A Sept. 9 Glassnode report placed a differently…

The Federal Reserve’s stablecoin proposal would put a general two-business-day limit on redemption by issuers it supervises.For a customer holding stablecoins at an exchange, the first step is getting that venue to release or convert the balance. In a July 28 snapshot, researchers located $76 billion of stablecoins at centralized exchanges, where a customer may have to deal with the venue before reaching an issuer.Researchers at the Andersen Institute for Finance and Economics located that amount across 12 reserve-backed dollar stablecoins.
