Market Under Pressure but Hopes Remain

🔘The Fear & Greed Index dropped to 33, reflecting rising caution amid $1.6 billion in ETF outflows. Bitcoin corrected to $109,000, Ethereum slipped to $3,900, and BTC dominance climbed to 58.52%, reaffirming its leadership. Yet long-term confidence in the sector remains supported: Tether plans to raise up to $20 billion, while Citi projects the stablecoin market could grow to $4 trillion by 2030.

🔘Corporate and institutional players continue to expand exposure. Metaplanet has raised its Bitcoin holdings to 25,555 BTC, while BlackRock and Vanguard are scaling up crypto initiatives. At the same time, decentralized exchanges are reporting record volumes, and tokens XPL and ASTER are leading gains—evidence that investor interest in alternatives persists despite the correction.
