  • Do ETFs risk centralizing Solana, and who actually gets the yield?
    CryptoSlate - 21:00 Oct 30, 2025
    Solana spent years building a staking culture in which over two-thirds of the circulating supply is delegated to validators, earning roughly 6% annually from inflation and fees. Non-staking Solana ETFs might just change this dynamic. Now that reflexive on-chain participation faces a new competitor: exchange-traded funds that either cannot or will not stake. Hong Kong’s […] The post Do ETFs risk centralizing Solana, and who actually gets the yield? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 19:00 Oct 30, 2025
    The next major Ethereum upgrade, called Fusaka, a hybrid of “Fulu” (consensus) and “Osaka” (execution), will modify how the network handles data and fees without altering the primary user experience. Beneath the surface, it’s a statement of direction: Ethereum’s main chain is staying the final settlement and data-availability hub, while everyday activity continues to flow […] The post Will Fusaka keep users on L2?

  • Whales awaken as old SOL hits exchanges but $117M ETF inflows soak up supply
    CryptoSlate - 17:00 Oct 30, 2025
    Solana exhibits an on-chain pattern that appears bearish at first glance but becomes constructive when considered alongside capital flows into regulated investment products. Over the past month, early Solana holders, investors who accumulated during quieter market phases, have begun moving older coins back into circulation. For context, Arkham Intelligence analyst Emmett Gallic reported on Oct. […] The post Whales awaken as old SOL hits exchanges but $117M ETF inflows soak up supply appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 15:13 Oct 30, 2025
    Every few months, headlines warn of a looming multi-billion-dollar options expiry poised to shake Bitcoin price. This quarter’s figure, roughly $13 billion in notional contracts, sounds dramatic, yet it’s part of a well-worn pattern on Deribit, the exchange that clears nearly 90% of Bitcoin’s options open interest.

  • Fed cuts 25 bps, but there is another hidden macro challenge looming

    The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points today and hinted that its balance-sheet runoff may soon end, arguably the bigger story for Bitcoin. With the overnight reverse repo facility nearly empty at roughly $14 billion, any further quantitative tightening now drains bank reserves directly. That shift means even small tweaks to QT have […] The post Fed cuts 25 bps, but there is another hidden macro challenge looming appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    For years, Solana was seen as crypto’s fast but fragile alternative to Ethereum, which was admired for its speed but dismissed as untested.

    Bitcoin fell over 4 percent to near $111,000 on Wednesday as U.S. equities set new highs ahead of the Federal Reserve decision, a divergence driven more by crypto’s positioning and flows than a broad macro risk-off.

  • Are Ethereum ETFs a price headwind?
    CryptoSlate - 16:30 Oct 29, 2025
    US-traded spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded persistent outflows during late September and mid-October, periods that coincided with relative weakness in the ETH/BTC ratio. Yet, non-US inflows and continued staking growth blunted the price impact, suggesting the headwind is episodic rather than structural. The question of whether ETF redemptions drive Ether’s underperformance against Bitcoin requires […] The post Are Ethereum ETFs a price headwind? appeared first on CryptoSlate.
