đ¸ $1.2B in outflows. Who is winning?

SACHI is a free-to-play, immersive gaming universe that combines next-gen gameplay with real social connection and rewarding experiences. Step into living worlds where players compete, create, and connect - shaping a new era of entertainment built around community, play, and real rewards.
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw $1.2 billion in outflowsâlast week, their worst stretch since summer, yet Wall Street just keeps doubling down on crypto exposure.
So whatâs happening?
đ The breakdown:
Fidelity (FBTC): â$256M
ARKâ& 21Shares (ARKB): â$144.2M
BlackRock (IBIT): â$131.4M
Grayscale (GBTC): â$15.4M
Bitwise (BITB): â$10.7M
And Ethereum ETFs were not exempt either, losing $500M+âover the same week.
But the real surprise? Solana ETFs: theyâre the only bit of sunshineâas they book a combined $136.5M inflows since its launch on Oct 28.
These arenât retail panics, institutions are rotating out exposure, not leaving crypto.
Prices show the same sentiment
â BTC +4%â( $106,371 ) in 24h
â ETH +4.9% ( $3,607 )
â SOL +5% ( $167 )
The market is gainingâconfidence even if ETF flows are weak post U.S. shutdown. At that moment we are in the accumulation area ofâ106K â 110K BTC, analysts believe.
Wall Streetâs footprint keeps growing
BlackRockâs IBIT still leads with $82.3B AUM, followed by Fidelityâs $20.7B and Grayscaleâs $17.7B, a combined $138B under management. Meanwhile, XRP ETFs from Canary Capital, CoinShares, and Franklin Templeton just appeared on DTCCâs pre-launch list, signaling an imminent debut.
With the government back in session, expect a surge in ETF approvals, the first spot XRP ETF could go live any day.
The U.S. government shutdown is almost over after 40 days. Senate leaders reached a bipartisan agreement (60â40 procedural vote) that has the potential to pass the House andâget federal operations back up by the weekend.
Why it matters for crypto:
â Reg freeze lifts: SEC & CFTC back to work, ETF filings start to getâcleared and so do token project reviews.
â Macro relief: Less uncertainty,âmore liquidity flowing into Treasuries and risk assets follow.
â Historical rhyme: $BTC rallied >250% 5 months afterâthe last shutdown ended in 2019.
Prediction markets onâPolymarket now estimate a 54% chance that the pipeline will reopen before Friday. What traders are watching for is reignited confidence if Washington can break the gridlock, with dormant ETFâand policy moves coming back to life.

1ď¸âŁ James Wynn shorts it all out
High-stakes trader James Wynn is bet his whole portfolio against the crypto market â liquidating all of it except for long-term BTC and converting 30% ofâhis holdings to stablecoins in order to open 40Ă leveraged shorts on Hyperliquid.
He says itâs âgoing to be hundredsâof millions or bust,â even vowing to delete his X account if the trade goes south.
2ď¸âŁ Bitcoinâs âCoiled Springâ Setup
Analyst Adam Livingston claims Bitcoinâs long-term power-law signal suggests spectacular upside forâthe leading cryptocurrency which he dubs a âcoiled spring.â
He estimatesâthe fair value for BTC to be $142K, with the potential of reaching $512K by Dec 2025 given that this pattern is replicated.
3ď¸âŁ XRP ETF countdown begins
21Shares submitted an 8(a) to the SEC for its spot XRP ETF and a 20-dayâcountdown to automatic approval began unless regulators raised an objection.

UNI awakens, revenue sharing hype fuels rally
Uniswapâs UNI token jumped 15% to $6.81, recovering from near $5 lows as traders price in the long-awaited âfee switchââwhich could redirect part of DEX revenue to holders.
đŁ Key snapshot:
â October fees: $275M:âUniswap all-time high, surpassing 2021 bull levels
â DEX volume: 6.1% ofâtotal volume
â Polymarket odds: 33 percent by Dec 2025, 73 percent by summer 2026
UNI rally rides renewed faith in token holder reward, but open interest stands light at $229M,âjust under the yearâs peak of $391M.
For now, itâs a tale of fundamentals meeting price, if governance finally votes âyes.â
