As the cryptocurrency market came under heavy selling pressure, with Bitcoin (BTC) at risk of losing the $110,000 support level, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, took a cautious step. Data shows that the company recorded no transactions for its Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).  Specifically, on September 22, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) reported zero net inflows or outflows. On a day when most issuers faced significant redemptions, the absence of activity from such a major player stood out. Total Bitcoin spot ETF net inflow.

XRP breached the $3 mark for the first time in seven years earlier this year. XRP then went on to hit a new all-time high of $3.65 in July.

Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) price has fallen by more than 85% from its all-time high of $0.00008616. The asset has struggled to gain much momentum over the last few years. Despite being one of the most popular crypto projects in the market, SHIB’s price has faced substantial challenges. Shiba Inu (SHIB) was once among the top 15 biggest crypto projects by market cap. According to CoinGecko data, the project is currently the 31st largest cryptocurrency. Let’s look at two developments that could help SHIB reclaim its all-time high price levels.

Despite thousands of years of history and an 11X larger market capitalization, gold has returned double the performance of bitcoin (BTC) to its investors this year. Since January 1, gold has rallied 32% versus BTC’s far more modest 16%. Today’s gold price is also historic for another reason, namely that its price rally has reached exactly 100X since the US dollar abandoned the gold standard at $35 per ounce in 1971. One ounce of gold now costs $3,500. These numbers are somewhat disappointing for BTC promoters who advertised the asset as “digital gold.” For more than 4 years, Gold has been a far better asset to hold than Bitcoin. While the returns have been similar since 1Q21, Gold has had 1/4 the monthly vol and drawdowns, and a mere 14% correlation to stocks vs. Bitcoin's near 60%. pic.twitter.com/DKcV3BGcm3 — Bob Elliott (@BobEUnlimited) June 13, 2025 In fact, depending on the exact time frame you choose, gold has outperformed BTC fo...

Michael Saylor has taken immediate advantage of his modified promise about diluting common shareholders with today’s massive increase in the supply of Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy (MSTR). This morning, he announced 875,301 more shares sold of MSTR under his at-the-market (ATM) offering. Those sales would have been prohibited under slide 96 of the company’s original Q2 2025 earnings presentation. For a few weeks, the company stated unequivocally, “We will not issue MSTR below 2.5x mNAV except to pay interest and dividends.” As of publication time, the Enterprise Value mNAV of MSTR is 1.59x. Fortunately for Saylor, that sentence was erased from the revised, August 18 version. The new promise allows Strategy the freedom to dilute shareholders in order to “provide greater flexibility in executing our capital markets strategy.” What that vague revision means, in practice, is that the company was able to issue more MSTR below 2.5x mNAV today. MSTR dilution t...
