Bitwise Plants Its Flag In ETF Staking With Chorus One Buyout

Crypto asset manager Bitwise has acquired staking infrastructure firm Chorus One, which manages over $2.2 billion in assets across dozens of blockchain networks. The deal brings 50 employees into Bitwise's onchain division and expands its staking services to more than 30 proof-of-stake networks, including Solana, Avalanche, and Sui. While financial terms were undisclosed, the acquisition positions Bitwise to capitalize on staking as a key growth opportunity, especially as the SEC warms to crypto investment products like ETFs that may offer staking rewards. Bitwise, which already manages $15 billion in assets and runs over 40 investment products, including its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, continues to expand beyond its core ETF offerings.

Polymarket vs Kalshi: Who is the King of Prediction Markets?

Polymarket and Kalshi are the two dominant players in the prediction market industry, collectively holding 79% market share. Polymarket, crypto-native and globally focused, leads in notional volume ($56.07B) and excels in political and macro markets. Kalshi, CFTC-licensed and US-centric, follows closely ($44.71B) and dominates sports betting, which drives 89% of its revenue. Their competition spans capital raises, marketing, user acquisition, and regulatory strategy. Kalshi leverages traditional channels like Robinhood and TV ads, while Polymarket builds a developer ecosystem and uses crypto-style referral programs. Key challenges remain: Kalshi faces potential competition from its own partners (e.g., Robinhood building its own exchange) and state-level lawsuits. Polymarket, after operating fee-free, has begun charging fees—a critical test for its revenue model. The battle reflects a broader conflict: whether the future of information markets belongs to crypto or traditional finance. Both are expanding into each other’s strengths—Polymarket into US sports, Kalshi into political media integration. The industry is still young, and the ultimate winner is yet to be determined.

Solana Price Prediction: ETF Inflows Fuel SOL Push Toward $90 Barrier

Solana (SOL) is stabilizing after recent selling pressure, with its price rebounding from the $75–$76 support level and climbing back above $80. A key catalyst for this recovery is renewed institutional interest, as U.S. spot Solana ETFs recorded $3.78 million in net inflows on February 24, bringing cumulative inflows to over $900 million. Derivatives markets also show improving sentiment, with rising open interest and long positions outweighing shorts. Despite this positive momentum, SOL faces significant resistance between $85 and $88. A break above this zone could push the price toward $90–$94. However, risks remain due to declining on-chain activity, reduced network engagement, and recent ecosystem concerns, including a major hack. The outlook depends on whether institutional inflows and technical stability can offset these weaknesses. Holding the $80–$83 support level is crucial for further gains.

Here’s what fueled Ethereum’s latest price hike above $2000

Ethereum surged past the $2,000 mark, trading at $2,047 after a 7% gain in 24 hours, breaking a prolonged period of stagnation. Key factors include a shift to $9.23 million in net ETF inflows, with Grayscale contributing $11.1 million in purchases, indicating institutional accumulation during fragile sentiment. Additionally, $893 million in ETH options are set to expire with a max pain point of $2,200, potentially causing short-term price distortions. While momentum indicators like MACD show positive signs, it remains uncertain if bulls can maintain control long-term.
