Bitcoin Steadies as ETF Flows Reverse and Altcoins Reprice

Bitcoin stabilized around $90,937 after briefly hitting a weekly high of $94,458, following sharp reversals in US spot Bitcoin ETF demand which saw $398 million in outflows after initial strong inflows. In the broader market, analysts suggest the past year's decline in altcoins represents a 'repricing' phase as institutional capital begins its multi-year entry, favoring fundamentally sound protocols like Solana and Tron, which led in fee generation. Separately, the Electric Coin Company (ECC) split from the Zcash nonprofit Bootstrap due to governance disputes over privatizing the Zashi wallet. Furthermore, Aave's founder proposed expanding the DeFi lending giant into real-world assets (RWAs) and consumer products, promising to distribute non-protocol revenue to tokenholders. Finally, perpetual decentralized exchanges (DEXs) nearly tripled their cumulative trading volume in 2025, hitting $12.09 trillion.
