Yesterday, on July 23rd, nine Ethereum spot ETFs commenced trading in the United States, following the SEC's unexpected change in stance in May. In this blog, we weigh up the impact of the ETH ETFs, examining day one inflows and our expectations going forward.

In this blog, we explore the unexpected rise of Ethereum ETFs following the SEC's request for stakeholders to update their 19b-4 filings, indicating a possible approval of these ETFs. This move, which contrasts with prior expectations of denial, has led analysts to revise their predictions, causing significant market activity and a sharp rise in Ethereum's price.

The Bitcoin halving is a pivotal event for the digital asset markets that occurs roughly once ever four years. In this blog, we explore how Bitcoin halving's have historically shaped the asset's trajectory, what future events might mean for investors and if this time is different.
In this week's COTW, we examine Bitcoin's yearly returns from 2011 to 2024, highlighting its extreme volatility and rapid adoption. To date, BTC has achieved a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 165% since 2011, underscoring its resilience as one of the best-performing assets during this period.2013 remains Bitcoin's standout year, with a staggering 5,960% return, as its price soared from roughly $13 to $806. Similarly, 2011 (+1,474%) and 2017 (+1,291%) also posted annual returns exceeding 10x.
Only three years—2014 (-61%), 2018 (-72%), and 2022 (-65%)—recorded negative yearly returns, each spaced four years apart, with all declines exceeding 60%.If the historical 4-year cycle pattern persists, where three consecutive positive years are followed by one year of decline, 2025 is expected to end on a positive note. While Bitcoin reaching an all-time high before the next halving could influence the historical applicability of these trends, with numerous catalysts anticipated in 2025, another positive year is likely.
