Analyst: Approximately 2-3% of BlackRock IBIT capital inflows come from self-custody users.

Citing Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, The Wolf of All Streets (@scottmelker) notes that approximately 2%-3% of the inflows into BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) have come from users who previously self-custodied Bitcoin, with Balchunas believing this proportion still has room to grow. He also points out that for Bitcoin users seeking censorship resistance, ETFs cannot replace on-chain self-custody; however, for those merely looking to hedge against currency debasement, ETFs represent a highly attractive store of value. Additionally, other analysis indicates that Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF has seen zero outflows since its launch five months ago, which is viewed as a reflection of the current market's strong confidence in Bitcoin as an asset class.

BonkGuy: Current conviction in USELESS is even stronger than BONK previously, last year's $4 million to $450 million rise was just a "test run"

Odaily News Crypto trader BonkGuy says USELESS is currently his top pick, and his conviction in USELESS now exceeds even his conviction when trading BONK at low levels in 2023.BonkGuy noted that he previously generated substantial returns through Meme coins such as BONK, WIF, Fartcoin, POPCAT, and PNUT — including turning $16,000 into over $20 million through a 6x leveraged BONK position, and growing a $6,000 WIF position to roughly $1.4 million. However, he also stated that these gains were largely wiped out during the "10/10" market conditions.Regarding USELESS, BonkGuy believes its market cap rising from approximately $4 million to $450 million last year was only a "test run," especially given it was not a bull market environment at the time. He anticipates that if USELESS experiences its first full bull market cycle, the price could see a much more significant surge.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent reportedly urges Japan to raise interest rates, Bitcoin's fixed monetary policy draws attention

Odaily News, according to reports, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent recently urged Japan to raise interest rates to curb the continued depreciation of the yen. Analysts believe this highlights that traditional monetary policy is susceptible to government and external influences. In contrast, Bitcoin's monetary policy is preset by code, with new coin issuance following a fixed schedule and halving approximately every four years, offering greater predictability. In the short term, Bitcoin still finds it difficult to shake off shocks from traditional financial markets. If Japan's rate hike drives a rapid appreciation of the yen, low-interest yen financing trades accumulated over the long term could be unwound, potentially triggering sell-offs in stocks, bonds, and crypto assets. In August 2024, the Bank of Japan's rate hike strengthened the yen and put pressure on risk assets, including Bitcoin. On the technical front, BTC's 50-day moving average has been rising steadily and is close to crossing above the 200-day moving average, potentially forming a "golden cross." Analysts note that moving averages are lagging indicators, and the historical predictive performance of the golden cross as a standalone indicator has been unstable.
