Coinbase says the 'second wave' of institutional money for crypto is here and it is all about yield

Institutional investors aren't just betting on 'number go up' strategy for crypto anymore, they are shifting to hunting for steady sources of income.

Many institutions already hold bitcoin BTC$71,021.58 and ether ($ETH) on their balance sheets. While they are holding these assets for the long-term price appreciation, investors are increasingly seeking to put them to work to earn income while waiting, said Brett Tejpaul, Coinbase’s (COIN) head of institutional, in an interview with CoinDesk, noting that this is how the next phase of institutional money entering the digital asset sector will look.

“The second wave of institutions… is underway. It’s happening.”

That shift is shaping a new wave of products, he said. Coinbase last week launched a tokenized share class of its Bitcoin Yield Fund on Base in partnership with Apex Group, a $3.5 trillion fund services provider. The fund aims to generate yield through strategies such as selling call options or lending bitcoin, with target returns in the mid-single digits, depending on market conditions.

The push for yield is not limited to just crypto-native firms.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has also moved in this direction. The firm recently launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB), giving investors exposure to rewards generated by helping secure the network. The product signals that demand for yield-bearing crypto strategies is spreading across traditional finance.

This is a similar strategy to what traditional investors call 'structured products.' These financial instruments include assets with options that are designed to deliver certain returns or yields. With many options and yield-generating strategies now available in the digital assets sector, traditional investors

What 'extreme fear' across Bitcoin and S&P means for markets

Bitcoin maintains a prolonged negative correlation with the S&P 500, marking its longest decoupling phase since 2020. Earlier, in October, BTC reversed sharply, dropping from around $30,000 while equities continued climbing toward 5,000.

In fact, this divergence followed a major liquidation event, where roughly 70,000 BTC in Open Interest was wiped out in a single session, resetting positioning back to April 2025 levels.

"Buy gold in times of chaos"—this has been a deeply ingrained logic in the minds of every investor for decades. However, in the past few weeks, this logic has completely failed.

Spot gold has fallen for nine consecutive trading days, recording its largest weekly drop since 1981 last week, and has now wiped out all of its gains this year.

Meanwhile, global stock markets have fallen, the cryptocurrency market is still in a state of panic, and industrial metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc have not been spared.

Almost all assets are being sold off indiscriminately, except for crude oil, which is rising.

When the valuation logic of various assets collapses simultaneously, the boundary between safe-haven assets and risky assets also disappears.

I. From Inflation to Recession: What is the Market Pricing?

The Iraq War has been raging for nearly four weeks, and the market's pricing logic for this conflict is undergoing a fundamental shift.

In the early stages of the conflict, the mainstream prediction was: oil prices would rise, inflation would be under pressure, but the war would end quickly, and the economic fundamentals would not be fundamentally shaken.  Following this logic, some assets remained resilient in the early stages of the conflict.

However, the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz has shaken this prediction.

Normally, about 20 million barrels of oil pass through the strait daily; since the closure, actual traffic has plummeted by over 97%. International oil prices have risen nearly 50% in just over a month, with Brent crude returning above $110 per barrel.

Investment bank Macquarie stated that if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed until the end of April, Brent crude prices could still reach $150 per barrel.

XRP Reclaims Key Level as Bulls Capitalize: Market Momentum Builds
XRP ($XRP) has reclaimed a significant technical level, signaling renewed strength as bullish momentum takes hold. Following a period of consolidation, the cryptocurrency surged, indicating that buyers are stepping in and capitalizing on market opportunities.
Key Highlights:
Price Action: XRP broke above a critical support/resistance level (often referred to as a “monument” in trading terms), suggesting that the bulls have regained control. This move could open the door for further upward momentum if buying pressure persists.
Market Sentiment: Traders are increasingly optimistic as XRP demonstrates resilience amid recent volatility. The reclaiming of key levels often serves as a psychological boost, attracting both short-term traders and longer-term investors.
Technical Implications: Analysts note that holding above this level may provide a foundation for sustained growth. Key indicators such as volume spikes, moving averages, and RSI momentum support the bullish narrative, hinting at the potential for a stronger rally in the near term.
Why This Matters:
The reclaiming of major technical levels is crucial for investor confidence. For XRP, this move shows that despite previous pullbacks or market uncertainty, demand remains strong. It also highlights the importance of monitoring on-chain activity, whale movements, and broader market trends to gauge the sustainability of this rally.
Conclusion:
As XRP reclaims a pivotal trading level, bullish momentum is building. Investors and traders should watch for continued confirmation of upward movement, as maintaining key support levels could catalyze a broader rally. This development underscores XRP’s resilience and its capacity to capitalize on favorable market conditions, potentially setting the stage for further gains in the near te

Zama taps Apex-backed T‑REX to bring bank‑grade privacy to public blockchains



French cryptography startup Zama is integrating its protocol with Apex-backed T-REX Ledger to become what it calls the “default confidentiality layer” for ERC-3643 tokenized assets, a standard that lets issuers embed identity checks and transfer restrictions into tokenized securities.

According to a Tuesday release shared with Cointelegraph, Zama, which raised $73 million in Series A funding in 2024 to commercialize fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), and T-REX Network aim to establish privacy as a core infrastructure for institutional tokenization, “rather than a standalone feature.”

The integration, they say, will enable regulated institutions to use public blockchain ecosystems “without compromising operational security or market integrity,” a sticking point that has prevented many institutions from putting sensitive positions and trading strategies on public rails.

Zama founder Rand Hindi told Cointelegraph that institutions using T-REX would be able to “shield” existing positions by wrapping ERC-3643 tokens into confidential equivalents, preserving balances 1:1 while encrypting future transfers and resulting balances end-to-end.

Zama says T-REX Ledger functions as a neutral layer-2 built around ERC-3643, where identity and rules-based compliance sit in smart contracts, and underlying Know Your Customer (KYC) data stays off-chain, enabling issuers to keep parameters such as interest rates, withholding taxes, or liquidation thresholds confidential on public rails.

Hindi argued that this removed the traditional “trade off” between regulatory compliance and confidentiality by pushing both into shared, programmable infrastructure rather than sep
