US Releases Draft Crypto Framework—‘Golden Age of Digital Assets Is Here’

On-chain data shows the cryptocurrency market as a whole has witnessed capital 
inflows of nearly $19 billion while Bitcoin and others have gone through their 
recovery. Crypto Market Has Enjoyed Net Capital Inflows Over The Past Month In 
a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the latest trend in the 
capital inflows for cryptocurrencies. In the digital asset sector, capital 
mainly flows in and out through three asset classes: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 
the stablecoins. The altcoins usually only see a secondary rotation of capital 
from these coins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sandwiched Between Major Support &amp; 
Resistance Levels—Can Bulls Win Out? As such, the netflows related to the 
three of BTC, ETH and the stables can provide a sufficient-enough estimation 
for the situation of the entire cryptocurrency market. For calculating the 
capital inflows/outflows related to Bitcoin and Ethereum, the &#8220;Realized Cap&#8221; 
indicator can be used. The Realized Cap is an on-chain capitalization model 
that finds the total value of any asset&#8217;s supply by assuming the value of each 
individual token as the same as its last transaction price. This is different 
from the usual Market Cap, which just sums up the supply at the current spot 
price. In short, what the Realized Cap reflects is the amount of capital that 
the investors of the cryptocurrency as a whole have put into it. Changes 
related to the metric, therefore, reflect the inflow or outflow of capital. In 
the case of the stablecoins, the change in the Market Cap is enough to gauge 
the capital netflow. This is down to the fact that the Realized Cap is no 
different from the Market Cap for them, as a result of their price never 
varying from the fiat currency that they are pegged to. Now, here is the chart 
shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the 30-day aggregate 
cryptocurrency market netflow based on these indicators over the past month: 
As displayed in the above graph, the combined 30-day Bitcoin and Ethereum 
Realized Cap change is currently at a positive $12.58 billion. This means that 
these two cryptocurrencies have enjoyed a notable net capital inflow during 
the past month. Similarly, the stablecoins have seen a net inflow of $6.19 
billion in the same period. Thus, it seems the digital asset sector as a whole 
has witnessed the incoming of $18.77 billion in capital. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin HODLer Selling Expected Around This Level, Report Says While this 
trend has occurred, Bitcoin and the other assets have gone through their price 
recovery runs, so it&#8217;s possible that as long as these inflows keep up, the 
rallies could be sustainable. It only remains to be seen how the investors 
will behave in the coming days, however, as it often doesn&#8217;t take much for 
sentiment to shift in the cryptocurrency sector. Bitcoin Price At the time of 
writing, Bitcoin is trading around $94,200, down 1% in the last seven days.

SEC Calls Wall Street Titans to DC for High-Stakes Crypto Roundtable

Ethereum’s price action may have struggled to gain traction in recent weeks, 
but an interesting long-term macro indicator is showing signs of early 
recovery beneath the surface. Particularly, a macro trend oscillator created 
by a crypto analyst known as Decode on social media platform X has begun to 
exhibit signs of a turnaround after an unusually prolonged stretch of bearish 
run. If confirmed, this would mark the beginning of a new phase of strength 
for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Shallow Red Bars Begin 
Turning On Ethereum’s Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis The oscillator’s monthly 
chart, overlaid with Ethereum’s price data on the monthly candlestick 
timeframe, clearly shows how deep and sustained the recent bearish momentum 
has been. The red histogram bars reflecting macro weakness persisted well 
beyond typical durations, highlighting the broader economic drag that has 
weighed on the crypto market. Related Reading: Ethereum CrossX Indicators

Interestingly, January of this year briefly hinted at a return to bullish 
territory, but the green print turned out to be a false start and quickly 
faded as the cryptocurrency kicked off another downturn. However, the 
magnitude of recent red bars is notably shallower compared to downturns in 
2023 and 2024. This subtle shift is more apparent on the lower timeframes, 
particularly the 3-day chart, which shows a clean rejection from the negative 
territory and the formation of a small green bar before the current pullback. 
The analyst, Decode, interprets this as a possible early-stage turnaround. 
Once the oscillator turns green in a sustained fashion, a rapid upward move in 
Ethereum and broader crypto prices is likely to follow, following similar 
transitions in the past. Green Phase Will Dominate Soon Looking beyond crypto, 
Decode’s oscillator also tracks the S&amp;P 500 and broader macro trends, where 
the same pattern holds: green phases are not only more prolonged but also 
steeper and more robust. This asymmetric distribution of momentum across time 
reflects the true bias of assets toward expansion over contraction. Decode 
noted that this is not merely an indicator with arbitrary thresholds but a 
fully integrated macroeconomic index built from 17 metrics. These include 
equities, bonds, commodities, currency flows, central bank liquidity (M2), and 
even sentiment data. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Eyes $2,700 As Wyckoff 
Accumulation Nears Completion Translating this into Ethereum, this gradual 
shift toward the green zone is seen as a signal of incoming price strength. 
Although Ethereum has yet to fully recover from its recent correction to 
$1,400, the subtle but consistent improvement in Decode’s macro trend 
oscillator hints that the cryptocurrency may be entering into a fresh uptrend. 
Right now, the focus is on green bars printing consistently again, especially 
across multiple timeframes. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at 
$1,830. The last 24 hours have been marked by a brief break below $1,800 
before bouncing at $1,785. This move caused liquidations of approximately 
$35.92 million in ETH positions, with long positions accounting for $28.38 
million of that amount. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from
