Bitcoin ETFs see 3rd-largest daily inflow amidst rate cut anticipation
Trading volume in crypto exchange-traded products increased 55% to $12.8 billion for the week. Bitcoin led with over $1.97 billion in inflows, and Ether saw nearly $70 million, its highest since March.
Interest rate cuts are bullish for Bitcoin because they typically increase liquidity and boost risk appetite, leading to increased investor appetite for higher-yielding assets like crypto. The recent crypto inflows can also be tied to factors like the SEC approving spot Ethereum ETFs in May. [cryptobriefing]

Ethereum’s leadership struggles with contradictory economic ideologies
Gaevoy, in a recent post on X, asserted that Ethereum must choose between supporting either a capitalist or socialist economic system, arguing that attempting to do both is untenable.
Gaevoy contends that many within the Ethereum community, especially its “elite,” are trying to “solve capitalism” by claiming that products built on the platform should only be respected if they serve worthy ends, such as healthcare or art. However, he believes this stance contradicts the inherently capitalist nature of blockchain technology. [cryptobriefing]
