ALL STORIES →Crypto market recap: a flat, slightly red day — but the ETF buying keeps climbing
Bitcoin dipped a hair to around $64,800 and the market went sideways. Underneath, big funds bought for a sixth day running. Here is why price and flows can point different ways.
Crypto market recap: a third quiet green day, and the fear gauge is slowly thawing
Bitcoin sits just under $65K after three calm, slightly-up days. The Fear and Greed Index has crept from extreme fear to plain fear. Here is what that actually means for a beginner.
Crypto market recap: Ethereum leads a green day — while ETF money quietly walks the other way
A quiet, green Wednesday: Ethereum is the day's standout, up over 2%, while Bitcoin ticks up a fraction. Two things are worth a beginner's minute. First, the Bitcoin-fund turn we have tracked all week has now officially held a full week — the big Bitcoin ETFs have not had a single day of net selling in August. Second, and more instructive: Ethereum's price rose today even as money left its ETFs, a clean little lesson in why fund flows are one signal, not the whole story.
Crypto market recap: prices barely move — and Bitcoin is trading like a tech stock again
Another quiet, pale-green day: Bitcoin sits near $64,300, the whole board is up a fraction, and the mood is still cautious. Two things are worth a beginner's time. First, the big Bitcoin funds keep pulling money in — over $170 million on Tuesday alone — which extends the ETF turn we flagged yesterday. Second, Bitcoin is once again moving in near-lockstep with the stock market and gold, and understanding why is one of the most useful things a new investor can learn.
Crypto market recap: your regular brokerage now sells Bitcoin — and the ETF tide just turned
Two things worth your attention today. First, prices barely moved: Bitcoin holds near $64,000, and the whole board is a quiet, pale green. Second, the plumbing shifted underneath. Morgan Stanley's E*TRADE has finished rolling out spot Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana trading to roughly 8.6 million everyday clients — and after a summer of Ethereum out-gathering Bitcoin, the big Bitcoin funds have suddenly flipped back to strong inflows. Here is what both actually mean for a beginner.
Crypto market recap: Wall Street is back — and the market's quiet answer is one word, dominance
On Sunday we said the real verdict would arrive Monday, when the big trading desks return to work. Monday is here, and the answer is a shrug: prices are barely changed, fear still edges the mood, and Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP are all within a hair of Friday's levels. So today we use the calm to explain the one number that quietly frames this whole summer's story — Bitcoin dominance — and why Ethereum keeps chipping away at it.
