BTC Outperforms Broad Market, AAVE Rises

Bitcoin (BTC), which showed a good performance according to the crypto market, increased by 4.4 percent and tested $ 67,000, while the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) gained 3.3 percent.

According to CoinGecko data, Solana’s SOL led the gains among major tokens by volume, jumping more than 5%. Ether (ETH), BNB Chain’s BNB, and Cardano’s ADA rose 3%. Dogecoin (DOGE) gained 4%, while Solana-based memecoin popcat (POPCAT) led the gainers in this category, rising more than 8%.

Ether products led the liquidations in crypto futures, with over $70 million worth of long positions liquidated compared to $55 million in BTC futures.

The value of open positions has fallen by $1 billion in the last 24 hours, indicating an outflow of money from the market.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted another net $31.16 million, bringing their cumulative net inflow to $17.5 billion since their launch in January, according to data from SoSoValue. The ETFs have a combined net assets of $59.14 billion, or about 4.6% of the leading cryptocurrency’s entire market cap.

According to CoinDesk Indices data, the second-largest cryptocurrency, ether, rose 2.8 percent to above $3,200. According to SoSoValue data, ether ETFs experienced a net daily outflow of $152 million. The current cumulative flow since the ETFs began trading this week is negative $178.68 million. This is mainly due to withdrawals from the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), which was converted into an ETF.

Grayscale Ethereum Trust is following a similar path to GBTC but is seeing faster flows, turning dips into a “significant buying opportunity,” said Mads Eberhardt, a crypto analyst at Steno Research.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Aave’s native token AAVE has gained 15 percent, outpacing BTC and ETH, as the market welcomes its token buyback offer.

The proposal, currently in a “provisional review” phase where feedback is being solicited, will contribute to protocol revenue by buying back AAVE tokens from the secondary market and redistributing them to stakers.
