On Sunday, Bitcoin briefly fell below $100,000. However, it quickly rebounded following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $107,970. 

Macroeconomist Lyn Alden noted on Wednesday, “The dollar index is currently hovering at new cyclical lows.” Alden added, “There has been almost no safe haven bid in the past few weeks.” These comments have increased speculation that the dollar’s weakness might be structural rather than temporary. 

According to TradingView data, the dollar’s decline has driven investors toward riskier assets. Bitcoin (BTC), after brief dips, was trading at $107,930. During the same period, partial recovery in markets was observed following Trump’s fragile ceasefire announcement. 

Jamie Coutts: Cryptocurrencies are the New Emerging Markets 

Real Vision crypto analyst Jamie Coutts compared the current macro environment to the 2002-2008 period. Coutts said, “That period saw a major dollar devaluation, igniting a fire under emerging market equities and commodities.” He added, “EMs outperformed developed markets by 3x due to capital flows toward high-growth, youthful economies.” According to Coutts, a similar trend is now occurring in the crypto markets. 

“Crypto is today’s EM. Capital moves where the energy is,” Coutts summarized, highlighting capital flow toward Bitcoin and altcoins. With the dollar weakening, Bitcoin gaining strength positions crypto as the next-generation safe haven. 

Analysts suggest the weakening DXY presents a positive macro signal for crypto assets. While this hints at a possible altcoin season, it is clear that Bitcoin is currently the biggest winner.

Ethereum ETFs Continue Their Steady Rise 

BlackRock’s IBIT product alone received $217 million in investments during yesterday’s trading session. Fidelity’s FBTC ETF recorded $105 million, while Bitwise saw a net inflow of $15 million. Overall, spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted a total of $350 million. 

BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF, ETHA, stood out with a $102 million inflow, signaling rapidly growing institutional confidence in Ethereum. Additionally, Ethereum ETFs have seen positive inflows for six consecutive weeks, marking their strongest period since their September 2024 launch. 

Total assets under management (AUM) for Ethereum ETFs have reached $3.9 billion. Ethereum’s staking feature and smart contract infrastructure continue to strengthen its position among financial instruments. 

Strong Two-Month Trend for Bitcoin ETFs 

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced daily positive inflows since April 17, 2025. During this period, total inflows have exceeded $11.2 billion. Institutional investors are shifting from short-term trading to long-term strategies. 

These investments demonstrate that Bitcoin is accepted not only as digital currency but also as a secure investment vehicle. The inflow volume supports the belief that Bitcoin’s price will remain above $105,000. 

Spot ETFs Change Crypto Market Psychology 

As institutional investors move towards spot ETF products, trust in the crypto market grows. This confidence encourages retail investors to take bolder actions. Moreover, these products facilitate easier integration of cryptocurrencies into the traditional financial system. 

This transition not only shifts market perception but also enables broader acceptance of technologically advanced cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. Furthermore, mechanisms like staking provide passive income to investors, accelerating demand for Ethereum ETFs. 

In the last 24 hours, $450 million flowed into BTC and Ethereum ETFs, demonstrating how pivotal institutional capital will be for the future of crypto assets.
