Executive scan
The early desk has Bitcoin steady above $78,000 after August’s 24% run, with majors softer as hawkish Fed bets weigh on risk. Flow attention is back on ETFs: BlackRock helped drive a $217 million Bitcoin ETF rebound, Ether funds extended inflows to 11 sessions, and XRP and Solana products each logged a 10th positive session.
XRP stays prominent across futures and ETF coverage, with CME’s share of XRP futures rising as the token reportedly gained 40% in a week, and Q2 filings showing Goldman Sachs, Jane Street and Millennium among XRP ETF holders. Policy risk is active too: Singapore’s MAS opened stablecoin-rule consultation until October 2026, Russia’s crypto regulation took effect, Vietnam advanced a tokenization pilot, and Thailand is weighing retail access to regulated overseas crypto derivatives.
