⚫BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF saw record outflows of $333 million on January 2, 2025, driven by profit-taking and year-end tax-loss harvesting. U.S.-based BTC spot ETFs lost $248 million overall, with Grayscale Bitcoin Trust reporting $23 million in withdrawals. Despite the sell-off, analysts remain optimistic about BlackRock’s ETF, highlighting its potential to boost Bitcoin adoption and legitimacy.
🟢Stuart Hoegner, Tether's long-time general counsel, has retired, with Michael Hilliard stepping in as legal head amid heightened EU regulatory scrutiny. The EU’s new MiCA regulations, effective December 30, require stablecoin issuers like Tether to meet strict compliance standards, sparking uncertainty around USDT’s adherence. This has led to a $1.6 billion drop in USDT’s market cap and its fall to fourth place in crypto rankings, overtaken by Ripple (XRP). Ripple’s market surge is fueled by bullish momentum and plans to launch a US dollar-backed stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD).
