Crypto Events To Note

BlockBeats recently reported that Trader T's data showed a significant $1.91 million net inflow into the US Ethereum spot ETF market. 

This surge was driven entirely by inflows into Bitwise's ETHW fund, with no notable activity recorded by other ETFs.

Furthermore, BlackRock, a global leader in asset management, is said to be stepping up its efforts in the crypto derivatives space. Reports suggest the firm is pushing for its BUIDL token to be utilised as collateral in trades, signalling Wall Street's growing engagement with digital currencies.

Partnering with brokerage firm Securitize, BlackRock is reportedly in discussions with top cryptocurrency platforms such as Binance, Okx, and Deribit. These talks aim to enable the use of the BUIDL token as collateral in crypto derivative transactions, as reported by Bloomberg, which cited unnamed sources.

Lastly, the accessibility of cryptocurrency is expanding across the US as Yesway, a rapidly growing convenience store chain, partners with Coinflip to install digital currency kiosks in 45 new locations. 

These kiosks allow customers to easily buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in five states, including Texas and Iowa. This move brings more secure and convenient access to digital currency transactions in the Southwest and Midwest.

What Crypto Traders Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, "Bitcoin has surged over 10% in the past week, hitting a three-month high, as broader market activity picks up. The recent approval of Bitcoin ETF options is expected to bring even more liquidity into the market, further boosting BTC's price. With the US elections just two weeks away, Bitcoin is on track to hit the $70,000 mark, driven by growing optimism and increased investor participation.”
