Have you ever opened a fridge, found nothing you wanted, closed the fridge... then opened it again five minutes lates?
Yes, brain, thanks for checking - maybe a snack magically appeared 😃👍
That’s kind of how crypto has felt lately. Except this time, a snack did show up.
After almost a whole week of money leaving Bitcoin ETFs, the outflow streak finally broke. Instead, the ETFs had $239.9M in inflows in a single day.
When investors buy spot ETFs, the issuers have to purchase actual Bitcoin, which tightens supply and can lift prices.
For much of the past week, traders had been groaning about steady outflows and weak sentiment. Now, with fresh money coming in, the tone across crypto Twitter has shifted - suddenly people are wondering if this is the start of another run.
And here's something else: one survey shows that traditional investors are increasingly open to crypto exposure through ETFs. In other words, ordinary portfolio managers see it as a new asset class worth holding alongside stocks and bonds.

So, what now? If the ETF inflows keep coming, we might break out of this leftovers phase and see some real action.
If not, well… keep that microwave handy.

Ever tried sending money across different blockchains?
It's like trying to split the bill when half the table wants to pay cash, someone's counting change, another's scanning a random QR code, and that one friend swears they'll "get you next time."
Just a headache... but for blockchains, that headache might finally have a cure.
A crew of crypto heavyweights - Fireblocks, Solana Foundation, Polygon Labs, Stellar, TON Foundation, Mysten Labs (Sui), and Monad Foundation - joined forces to form something called the Blockchain Payments Consortium.

The idea is to make stablecoins work across blockchains as seamlessly as tapping your card at the store.
And here's why it matters:
Stablecoins are already massive. They've handled over $27.6T in transactions this year - that's more than Visa and Mastercard combined.
But right now, every blockchain is its own little kingdom with its own rules. Sending USDC from Ethereum to Solana feels like switching airlines mid-flight: new terminals, new baggage rules, new fees. ✈️
The Consortium wants to fix that by setting open standards for payments that actually talk to each other.

If they pull it off, sending stablecoins could finally be as simple as sending a meme. Just tap, send, done.
And maybe next time you split the bill, it won't turn into a blockchain nightmare.

Now you're in the know. But think about your friends - they probably have no idea. I wonder who could fix that... 😃🫵
Spread the word and be the hero you know you are!
