Odaily Planet Daily News Since March, Bitcoin has been fluctuating between $76,000 and $95,000. The lack of a clear catalyst to break through the range makes it difficult for the market to gain sustained upward momentum. One of the signals reflecting the lack of market confidence comes from the decentralized lending platform Aave. Data shows that the borrowing cost of stablecoins such as USDT and USDC on Aave has dropped to around 4%, indicating that risk aversion is spreading to the crypto field. Strahinja Savic, head of data and analysis at FRNT Financial, explained: "Aave's loan interest rate is affected by the utilization rate of deposit assets. As leverage demand and other trading strategies that require borrowing cool down, its interest rate will naturally go down." (Bloomberg)

According to PANews, Kain Warwick, the founder of Synthetix, has expressed concerns about the practices of certain market makers. He highlighted that some market makers manipulate prices in low-liquidity markets, engage in arbitrage through loans and options, and sell discounted tokens before token generation events (TGE), only to quickly offload them after inflating prices. Warwick noted that Synthetix had previously been manipulated by DWF Labs, which, while providing short-term liquidity, was detrimental to the long-term development of the token. He urged investors to be cautious of market makers distributing large quantities of tokens and called for greater transparency in such activities.

According to BlockBeats, BlackRock, the world's largest asset management firm, has introduced its Bitcoin Exchange Traded Product (ETP) in Europe following its success in the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF market. The iShares Bitcoin ETP is now listed on Germany's Xetra exchange and France's Euronext Paris under the trading code IB1T, with another version, BTCN, available on Amsterdam's Euronext. To attract early investors, BlackRock is offering a limited-time zero-fee promotion, reducing the ETP fee to 0.15%, compared to the 0.25% fee for similar U.S. products. This makes it one of the most cost-effective Bitcoin ETPs in the European market, likely appealing to both retail and institutional investors seeking low-cost digital asset investments. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that while Europe has been a pioneer in cryptocurrency ETPs, with over 160 digital asset tracking products, its overall market size remains smaller compared to the U.S. Despite this, BlackRock's entry into the European market could significantly boost growth, especially if it replicates the success seen in the U.S., including improved cost efficiency and trading volume. However, not everyone is optimistic about this development. Finbold's editor, Vini Barbosa, expressed concerns about the current demand for Bitcoin, which is largely driven by centralized derivatives like futures contracts and ETFs/ETPs, with BlackRock playing a key role. Barbosa highlighted that on-chain transaction volumes are notably low, while speculative derivative trading volumes continue to rise, which he views as unfavorable for Bitcoin. The introduction of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETP in Europe aligns with the regulatory requirements of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, a comprehensive regulatory structure for the cryptocurrency market in Europe. Experts believe that the proactive stance of European financial regulators will create favorable conditions for future cryptocurrency product issuance and trading, aiding long-term market development. BlackRock's ETP could mark a new beginning for the European market. The increasing involvement of institutional investors and the gradual improvement of Europe's crypto asset regulatory environment are expected to be significant drivers for Bitcoin's future growth.
