AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoRegulation & Markets: The CFTC cleared a major step for crypto perps, approving Kalshi’s bitcoin perpetual futures and issuing no-action relief that lets Coinbase route U.S. institutions to global perpetuals (starting with Deribit options), while CME also flipped crypto futures to near-24/7 trading, ending weekend closures. ETF Flows: U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs extended a record 9-day outflow streak, pulling about $2.8B total, while ether ETFs logged a 13th straight day of withdrawals (around $121M), keeping pressure on BTC and ETH sentiment. Corporate Crypto: Strive raised about $194M and used it to buy roughly 2,624 BTC, pushing its treasury to ~16,500 BTC; meanwhile Strategy transferred 411 BTC (~$30M) to Coinbase Prime, reigniting sell-off chatter. Macro & Geopolitics: Bitcoin whipsawed with Iran ceasefire hopes, but U.S. Treasury said it has seized nearly $1B in Iran-linked crypto, underscoring ongoing enforcement risk. On-Chain/Trading: Dip buyers stacked bids near $70K (~$443M), but liquidations surged as BTC slid and traders rotated. DeFi & Infrastructure: Aave asked governance to deploy V4 on Circle’s Arc, aiming for stablecoin-heavy institutional DeFi rails.
