Alternative investment vehicles such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), led by BlackRock's IBIT, hold sway over bitcoin's price. That is well known by now.

But another ETF from the betting world has been moving in lockstep with bitcoin’s cycles since 2020, with an interesting pattern that, to the naked eye, appears to show leading signals for $BTC trend changes.

That ETF is the NYSE-listed Roundhill Sports Betting & iGaming ETF (BETZ). The fund debuted in June 2020 and has since attracted only $98 million in net inflows. As of Tuesday, it had roughly $50 million in assets under management, which is paltry compared to the billions of dollars in the IBIT fund.

The 90-day correlation coefficient between the two assets was 0.73 at press time, according to data from TradingView. Meanwhile, the 365-day coefficient stood at 0.91. That translates into an R² of approximately 0.83, implying that over 80% of the variation in the two assets’ movements is statistically linked. Talk about moving in lockstep!

But here’s where it gets interesting. If you overlay the ETF price on $BTC’s price chart, a clear pattern emerges, in that the fund tends to hit major peaks and bottoms a couple of weeks ahead of bitcoin market turnarounds.

The blue line represents bitcoin, and the white line, the BETZ ETF.

The betting ETF peaked in September 2021, and by the time $BTC followed in November, it was already declining. The ETF’s eventual bottom in September 2022 also preceded bitcoin’s by three months.

A similar pattern played out last year, when the ETF peaked in August, two months before $BTC.

While the correlation between the two asset is far from definitive causation, the consistency of these timing offsets across multiple cycles is difficult to ignore. It strengthens the broader argument made by several leading observers, including Ray Dalio, that bitcoin

Stablecoin yield ban emerges as flashpoint in new U.S. crypto bill
A new U.S. crypto market structure draft has sparked a fight between banks and crypto firms over proposed restrictions on stablecoin yield payments.newly released draft of the U.S. crypto market structure has intensified the fight between banks and the digital asset industry. Lawmakers proposed restrictions on stablecoin yield payments while expanding legal protections for broader crypto activity.

The bill attempts to create clearer rules for digital assets, exchanges, stablecoins, decentralized finance, and self-custody wallets.

However, one section has quickly become the central battleground: a proposed ban on interest or yield payments tied to payment stablecoins.The provision would prohibit issuers and digital asset service providers from offering interest-like returns to U.S. users simply for holding payment stablecoins.

The debate has already sparked public clashes between banking groups, crypto executives, and lawmakers.

(ETH)-based layer-2 network, has announced the launch of its new Bitcoin-based product.

Accordingly, Starknet launched strkBTC, a new Bitcoin-based asset designed to enable protected balances and private transfers.

Starknet described this asset as a privacy infrastructure built with regulatory compliance in mind.

strkBTC is not traded directly on the Bitcoin main chain. Instead, it is a Bitcoin wrapper asset mined on Starknet.

strkBTC allows users to move their assets to new Bitcoin addresses that are not linked to their existing transaction history. Built with zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography, strkBTC also provides auditability and asset screening features for regulatory compliance.

Damien Chen, Starknet Foundation’s vice president of growth, said the following:

“In an environment where criminals are monitoring public records, using AI to track wallets, and attacking people’s cryptocurrencies, privacy is no longer just an ideal.”

Privacy is both a need and a right. We urgently need privacy solutions that close the curtains, preventing criminals from peering through the window to plot against their targets.

Bitcoin is the most sovereign currency ever created, and also the least private currency used by most people. That’s why we’re launching strkBTC, because the world has changed since 2008.”

Starknet also added that they plan to expand strkBTC’s use cases to include private lending, anonymous trading, and yield-generating decentralized finance servic

Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Maintains Key Support Levels, Will the Rebound Continue?

Bitcoin is trading at $80.8k, consolidating just above the $80k psychologcial threshold that defined the ceiling of this cycle’s correction for months. While the ascending channel’s higher boundary is still holding, the 100-day MA has been left well behind, and the price’s reaction to the current area where the 200-day MA is also converging will likely shape the crypto market trend in the upcoming weeks.

Будут ли ЭТИ зоны ликвидации определять дальнейшие действия Ethereum? На тепловой карте ликвидаций отмечены плотные скопления между $4300 и $4400 — уровнями, которые могут стать ценовыми магнитами в ближайшей перспективе. Решительный прорыв этих скоплений может спровоцировать цепную реакцию коротких ликвидаций, ускоряя ралли к более высоким целевым уровням Фибоначчи. И наоборот, провал в этом направлении может спровоцировать активные продажи и откат к уровню поддержки $4000. Поведение ETH вокруг этих зон ликвидности может определить дальнейшую тенденцию.
