Bitcoin and Ether ETFs saw another day of heavy withdrawals, while Solana ETFs maintained an uninterrupted inflow streak since launch. Bitcoin’s rapid pullback has pushed the average US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) investor into the red for the first time since the products launched. The flow-weighted cost basis across all US Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs sits near $89,600, a level Bitcoin fell below on Tuesday, leaving the cohort underwater, Glassnode analyst Sean Rose told Bloomberg on Tuesday. Some early buyers, particularly those who entered when Bitcoin was between $40,000 and $70,000, still remain in profit. “Even with the average ETF cost basis above spot, most ETF holders are long-term allocators, so being underwater doesn’t trigger quick exits,” Vincent Liu, the chief investment officer at quantitative trading firm Kronos Research, told Cointelegraph.

The White House is reviewing a proposal to join an international crypto tax standard that could deter Americans from moving their digital assets to offshore exchanges. The White House is reviewing the Internal Revenue Service’s proposal to join the global Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, which would provide the tax department with access to Americans’ foreign crypto account data. Adoption of the “Broker Digital Transaction Reporting” proposal — submitted to the White House last Friday — would put the US crypto tax system in line with 72 other countries that have committed to implementing CARF by 2028. While the proposal wasn’t categorized as “economically significant” by the IRS, the rule would force Americans to be far more stringent in reporting capital gains tax from foreign crypto platforms.
