Introduzione

Bitwise Asset Management has filed with the U.S. SEC for approval of 11 new altcoin ETFs, marking a significant milestone in the crypto ETF space. The proposed funds would include exposure to tokens such as Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), Tron (TRX), Sui (SUI), Zcash (ZEC), and NEAR. The structure allocates 60% of assets to direct cryptocurrency holdings and 40% to ETFs or derivatives tracking similar assets, aiming to comply with regulations while ensuring liquidity and cost efficiency. This filing coincides with a period of mixed market performance: Bitcoin remains above $91k and Ethereum above $3,100 despite a recent 0.74% market dip. Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs also saw positive net inflows after days of outflows.

Last month, Bitwise Asset Management filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States to look for the approval of 11 new exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These ETFs will focus on the prominent altcoins, which will mark a prominent milestone in the history of cryptocurrency ETFs in the U.S. regulatory area.

The crypto market plunged by 0.74% in the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin holding over $91k and Ethereum being above $3,100. Regardless of this fall, the market is looking for a potential recovery.

Yesterday, the net inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs increased by $117 million in four days of continuous outflows. Ethereum spot ETFs also witnessed a positive net inflow of about $5.03 million after a continuous three-day outflow.

The inflow of Solana spot ETFs was listed to be at 10.67 million, and XRP spot ETFs was at 15.04 million. Some of the tokens which were listed in the Bitwise 11 Altcoin ETFs are Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), Tron (TRX), Sui (SUI), Zcash (ZEC) and NEAR.

The Bifurcation of Funds

The company has shown these funds in a way that institutional investors will be able to explore both old and new cryptocurrencies. These ETFs include direct token holdings, having exchange-traded products (ETPs) and derivatives to offer exposure to every cryptocurrency.

The funds will put around 60% of their assets straight into cryptocurrencies, and the remaining 40% will be invested in ETFs or derivatives tracking the similar assets. The structure is designed in a way to check that the products have cleared the SEC regulations but is still flexible to meet the liquidity needs and economical operations.

Having this hybrid approach, Bitwise is looking to roll out an easier method for investors to get into the altcoin market. Bitwise filing came at the time of the issuance of new listing standards of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products by the SEC.

Bitwise: Bullish on Bitcoin's Performance in the Second Half of the Year, AI and Regulation Will Spark a New Altcoin Season

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and Research Lead Ryan Rasmussen express strong bullish sentiment on Bitcoin's long-term prospects, suggesting that its $1 million price target may be too conservative. They argue Bitcoin serves a dual role: as digital gold and a potential global settlement asset, especially amid declining trust in traditional monetary systems. Despite a weak Q1 2026 where nearly all crypto assets and prices saw double-digit declines, the analysts remain optimistic due to strong forward-looking catalysts, including institutional adoption via Bitcoin ETFs from major firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Geopolitical instability, such as Iran’s mention of using Bitcoin for international payments, increases the value of Bitcoin’s “out-of-the-money call option” as a non-political, global settlement currency. This enhances its appeal beyond a mere store of value. . Additionally, Hougan highlights that a clearer regulatory token framework under current SEC leadership, combined with AI efficiency gains and high-performance blockchains, could fuel a new “altseason” by late 2026. This may lead to a wave of legitimate, value-capturing token projects, unlike the earlier ICO boom. . Bitwise also announced an Avalanche ETF, citing its unique architecture and rapid growth in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which has surged 10x to nearly $30 billion in two years. The firm believes Layer 1 blockchains are still early in their growth cycle, with significant potential ahead.

Bitcoin Rally To Near $80K Fuels Sharp Sentiment Rebound Across Crypto Markets

Bitcoin's recent rally towards $80,000 has driven a significant rebound in crypto market sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index jumping 14 points to 46—its highest level since January. Analysts note that over 300,000 BTC have shifted from short-term to long-term holders in the past month, signaling stronger investor conviction. However, the rally appears largely driven by perpetual futures speculation rather than spot market demand, raising concerns about sustainability. Retail participation also remains subdued, limiting further sentiment gains. While entities like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) continue accumulating BTC, weak spot interest could lead to a price correction if profit-taking occurs.

Intel Soars 20%, CPUs Return to Center Stage in the Agent Era

Intel's stock surged 20% after reporting exceptional Q1 2026 results, with revenue of $13.6 billion (up 7% YoY) and non-GAAP EPS of $0.29, beating expectations by 29x. The rebound is driven by the resurgence of CPUs in the AI era, particularly as workloads shift from training to inference and agent-based applications. Intel’s Data Center and AI (DCAI) division hit a record $5.1 billion in revenue, up 22% YoY, marking a U-shaped recovery since mid-2025. The growth is attributed to strong demand for Xeon 6 "Granite Rapids" processors and increased AI infrastructure refresh cycles. While NVIDIA and AMD dominated the AI training phase, Intel is benefiting from the focus on AI agents, where CPU performance becomes critical—accounting for 50-90% of workflow latency in agent orchestration. This shift, coupled with management changes and strategic refocus on CPUs (including canceling the Falcon Shores GPU project), has repositioned Intel. New CEO Lip-Bu Tan emphasized that CPUs are re-establishing themselves as essential infrastructure in the AI era.

DeepSeek V4 Finally Released, Breaking the Strongest Closed-Source Monopoly, Explicitly Partnering with Huawei Chips

DeepSeek AI has officially released DeepSeek-V4, available in two versions: the high-performance **DeepSeek-V4-Pro** (49B activated parameters, 1.6T total) and the more efficient **DeepSeek-V4-Flash** (13B activated parameters, 284B total). Both support a 1M context length, making long-context capability a baseline feature rather than a premium offering. The Pro version rivals top closed-source models in agent capabilities, world knowledge, and reasoning performance. It outperforms Claude Sonnet 4.5 in agentic coding and approaches Claude Opus 4.6 (non-thinking mode) in quality. The Flash version offers competitive performance at a lower cost, though it lags in highly complex tasks. A key technical innovation is a new attention mechanism that reduces computational and memory demands for long contexts. The models are optimized for agent frameworks like Claude Code and OpenClaw. API services are available with support for both OpenAI and Anthropic-style interfaces. DeepSeek also announced upcoming support for Huawei’s computing hardware in the second half of the year. The models are open-sourced on Hugging Face and ModelScope.

Tether Cooperates with U.S. Sanctions to Freeze $344 Million in USDT, Reigniting Debate Over Stablecoin 'One-Click Freeze Authority'

Tether, the issuer of USDT, has frozen over $344 million worth of USDT across two Tron blockchain addresses in its largest-ever single compliance action. The freeze was carried out on April 23 in coordination with the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and other law enforcement agencies. The funds are suspected to be linked to sanctions evasion, criminal networks, or other illicit activities, though specific details were not disclosed. This action comes amid increased U.S. regulatory scrutiny, including sanctions against entities tied to Iran and Mexican drug cartels. Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized the company’s commitment to preventing illegal use of USDT, contrasting it with slower responses from competitors like Circle. To date, Tether has frozen over $4.4 billion in assets and collaborates with more than 340 law enforcement agencies across 65 countries. The move has reignited debate within the crypto community over the centralized "freeze authority" held by stablecoin issuers, challenging the notion that "your stablecoins are your own." Critics point to the built-in blacklist function in USDT’s smart contracts, which allows Tether to immobilize funds in targeted wallets, while proponents argue it enhances regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering efforts.
