Ault Blockchain Debuts Public Testnet, Rejects Traditional Token Sale Model

Bitcoin volatility spiked on the back of surprisingly strong US nonfarm 
payrolls numbers, but traders retained $50,000 BTC price targets. Will a 
Federal Reserve interest rate decision lead to a bullish outcome?

Bitcoin Leads Broad ETF Rally With $167 Million Inflow

Ethereum ETF investors are sitting on a far uglier entry point than their 
bitcoin counterparts, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James 
Seyffart, with spot ETH funds now absorbing a drawdown that has left many 
buyers deep underwater. “Ethereum ETF holders are sitting in a worse position 
than their Bitcoin ETF brethren,” Seyffart wrote on X late Tuesday. “The 
current ETH price of $2,000 is way below their average cost basis of ETF 
holders at about ~$3,500. It’s a painful proposition. But it&#8217;s one that Eth 
ETF holders have experienced already.” Seyffart added that the most recent ETH 
ETF trough pushed the drawdown “beyond 60%,” roughly matching the percentage 
decline ETH saw at its April 2025 low, framing the move as severe but not 
unprecedented for ether’s investor base. Related Reading: Ethereum Holders 
Shift To Self-Custody As Market Consolidates Near $2K Even so, he argued the 
investor response has been more stoic than the price action implies. “Still, 
the vast majority of buyers have stayed put,” he wrote, pointing to net 
inflows across the ETH ETF complex falling from roughly $15 billion to below 
$12 billion — a materially larger deterioration than bitcoin ETFs “on a 
relative basis,” but, in his words, “still fairly decent diamond hands in 
grand scheme (for now).” Fresh flow data suggests the bleeding has slowed, but 
not flipped decisively. SoSoValue data shows US spot ether ETFs took in about 
$13.82 million in net inflows on Feb. 10. That followed a week of net 
redemptions totaling roughly $166 million, extending a multi-week outflow 
streak. On a monthly basis, SoSoValue figures peg last month’s net flow at 
about $350 million in outflows. Cumulatively, total net assets are at $11.76 
billion as of Feb.10. Goldman Sachs Is Bullish On Ethereum Against that 
backdrop, Goldman Sachs’ latest 13F disclosure added a different kind of 
signal: traditional finance’s exposure is increasingly visible, and not 
confined to bitcoin. On Tuesday, Goldman disclosed about $2.36 billion in 
crypto-related positions, including roughly $1.06 billion tied to spot bitcoin 
ETFs and about $1.0 billion to spot ether ETFs, alongside smaller exposures of 
about $153 million in XRP and $108 million in Solana — a roughly 0.33% 
allocation in the context of its broader holdings. Related Reading: Can 
Ethereum Price Still Hit $7,600 In 2026? Here Are The Odds The reactions on X 
leaned into the optics. Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao framed the filing 
as a positioning gap between crypto natives and banks: “Crypto is probably the 
only place you had an earlier start than the banks. But if you sold your 
crypto last quarter, while the banks are buying, then…” MoonRock Capital 
founder Simon Dedic focused on the ETH sizing itself: “Very interesting to see 
them holding almost as much ETH as Bitcoin. For a conservative investment bank 
that typically sticks to standard portfolio structures like market cap 
weighting, this speaks volumes on how they’re significantly more bullish on 
Ethereum than Bitcoin, which would normally be 4–6x larger in such portfolios. 
This is the institutional supercycle, and ETH is clearly the institutional 
darling.” At press time, ETH traded at $1,949. Featured image created with
