Bitcoin and XRP Dominate Crypto Headlines as Liquidity and Institutional Demand Surge

Bitcoin faces a key 100-day volatility window, XRP expands beyond price into finance and loyalty use, and BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF hits record inflows while Arthur Hayes calls for a permanent bull cycle.

What we will talk about today...

Bitcoin Has 100 Days to Go Parabolic or End Its Bull Market

Why XRP Matters Beyond Price

BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF Pulls $2.8 Billion in Six Days

Arthur Hayes Declares Bitcoin’s 4-Year Cycle Dead

Bitcoin Has 100 Days to Go Parabolic or End Its Bull Market

Analysts say Bitcoin must break out soon as volatility compresses to record levels.

  • [Bollinger Bands tighten]: Bitcoin’s weekly Bollinger Bands are at their narrowest in years, signaling a big move ahead.

  • [Breakout window]: Past cycles show breakouts occur within about 100 days.

  • [Potential outcomes]: Either a parabolic rise or a full end to the bull market.

Crash Expert: “This Looks Like 1929” → 70,000 Hedging Here

Mark Spitznagel, who made $1B in a single day during the 2015 flash crash, warns markets are mimicking 1929. Yeah, just another oracle spouting gloom and doom, right?

Vanguard and Goldman Sachs forecast just 5% and 3% annual S&P returns respectively for the next decade (2024-2034).

Bonds? Not much better.

Enough warning signals—what’s something investors can actually do to diversify this week?

Almost no one knows this, but postwar and contemporary art appreciated 11.2% annually with near-zero correlation to equities from 1995–2024, according to Masterworks Data.

And sure… billionaires like Bezos and Gates can make headlines at auction, but what about the rest of us?

Masterworks makes it possible to invest in legendary artworks by Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more – without spending millions.

23 exits. Net annualized returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%. $1.2 billion invested.

Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but…

“This setup can send Bitcoin parabolic or end its three-year bull rally,” said trader Tony “The Bull” Severino.

Why XRP Matters Beyond Price

XRP’s utility is growing across payments, loyalty, and institutional finance after legal clarity in 2025.

  • [Cross-border speed]: XRP eliminates pre-funding and settles payments in seconds, serving migrant and emerging-market remittances.

  • [Loyalty integration]: Travel and reward programs use XRP for real-world payments, expanding daily use.

  • [Institutional trust]: Banks like SBI and Santander hold XRP reserves for liquidity management.

“With the SEC case closed and adoption spreading, XRP now stands as regulated infrastructure,” analysts noted.

BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF Pulls $2.8 Billion in Six Days

Institutional investors rush into Bitcoin through BlackRock’s ETF.

  • [Massive inflows]: IBIT attracted $2.83 billion in six trading days, far outpacing rivals.

  • [Low fees]: A 0.25 percent management fee draws assets away from older funds like GBTC.

  • [Rapid growth]: IBIT manages $98 billion and earns $244 million yearly, the fastest ETF growth in BlackRock history.

“IBIT’s growth beats every record in ETF history,” said Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas.

Arthur Hayes Declares Bitcoin’s 4-Year Cycle Dead

The BitMEX founder says macro liquidity, not halving cycles, drives Bitcoin now.

  • [Monetary policy shift]: Liquidity from U.S. Treasury bills and Fed rate cuts is fueling demand for risk assets.

  • [Cycle myth]: Hayes says traders misuse the four-year template without understanding money supply dynamics.

  • [New regime]: Loose credit in the U.S. and China could sustain a longer bull market.

“Traders apply patterns without knowing why they worked. Liquid money rules the market,” Hayes wrote.
