Is the bottom in? Institutional crypto funds record second week of inflows

The news wasn’t all positive, as Ether (ETH) continued to suffer from negative sentiment with outflows totaling $27 million.…

boss

The past couple of months have not been kind to cryptocurrencies. The sector’s aggregate market capitalization plunged 50% from a Nov. 10 peak at $2.87 trillion to the current $1.44 trillion.

Pinning the underperformance exclusively to the recent network outages seems too simplistic, and it doesn’t explain the accelerated decoupling over the past week, so let’s take a look at what might be going on. Solana/USDT at FTX (blue) vs.…

The shades.” The affectless, openly promotional nature of the clip drew plenty of ire from media commentators over the course of the week. Vice called it…
