Bloomberg Crypto explores surging institutional crypto flows favoring major tokens, optimism around the stalled Clarity Act, a $100M cold wallet hack, the emergence of compute futures as a new asset class, tokenization's slow path to scale, and Visa's booming stablecoin card business.
- Wintermute OTC data shows institutions now 72% of flows, laser-focused on Bitcoin, Solana, and Hyperliquid.
- Clarity Act negotiations hinge on ethics; industry expects a Senate vote soon.
- Over $100M Bitcoin stolen from cold wallets, shaking confidence in self-custody and boosting ETF appeal.
- CME to launch compute power futures, signaling a new investable asset class akin to oil.
- Bitcoin miners like Core Scientific and Iren pivot to AI compute, gaining higher valuations.
- Tokenization remains in test phase; full-scale deployment needs middleware and may take 5-10 years.
- Visa's stablecoin platform launches with card volumes growing triple digits, positioning Visa as a key beneficiary.
- Stablecoin volumes hit record $1.79 trillion in June.
Идеи
Institutions drive Bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid higher.
Wintermute's OTC data shows institutional flows surging to 72% of total, with institutions focusing their investable universe on a narrow set of major tokens like Bitcoin, Solana, and Hyperliquid. Their selective buying is driving price action in these tokens, causing decoupling from the broader market and creating resilient demand. Institutional adoption trend remains strong and is expanding.
Visa wins from stablecoin card boom.
Visa's stablecoin card business is seeing triple-digit year-over-year growth, with stablecoin volumes hitting record $1.79 trillion in June. New stablecoin card programs launch almost weekly. Visa's global merchant acceptance network of 200 million provides unmatched distribution, making Visa a key beneficiary of stablecoin adoption.
