Markets

Bitcoin spot ETFs posted ~$553M in net inflows on Sept. 11—the strongest daily haul in weeks—as flows rotated back to BTC while ETH products also saw fresh buys. Desk chatter frames it as classic pre-Fed positioning with risk appetite returning after cooler CPI prints, pushing BTC toward the $115K handle. (According to The Block’s flow tally.)

Dogecoin rallied into its anticipated U.S. ETF launch window, with intraday volume and a pennant breakout drawing in momentum traders. Expect wider spreads around the opening prints and headline-driven swings typical of first-day products; liquidity should normalize as market makers calibrate baskets. (As reported by CoinDesk.)

Regulation

India is signaling a pause on comprehensive crypto legislation, per a government document reviewed by Reuters. Authorities worry that formal integration could elevate systemic risk and potentially undermine domestic rails like UPI—meaning global platforms may operate under registration and tax rules, but deep banked integration remains limited for now. (Reuters reporting.)

In the U.S., regulatory politics are in the spotlight as the CFTC chair-nominee alleged that a prominent crypto founder lobbied to delay his nomination, underscoring the increasingly public tug-of-war around market structure and enforcement priorities. It’s noise—but the kind that can shape timelines for derivatives and market-access rules. (According to Reuters.)

Adoption

BlackRock is exploring ways to tokenize ETFs after its success with a spot bitcoin fund—another clear signal that tokenization is graduating from pilots to product design inside the world’s largest asset manager. If realized, it could compress settlement, broaden programmability, and nudge more TradFi allocators into on-chain rails. (Bloomberg coverage.)

The U.K. just got a new lightning rod for listed “bitcoin buyers”: a web-design-turned-BTC-accumulator now holding ~2,470 BTC is eyeing acquisitions and even a future FTSE berth despite share-price volatility. For investors seeking regulated proxies for crypto treasuries in jurisdictions without spot ETFs, this kind of equity wrapper fills a growing niche. (Financial Times.)

Tech & Innovation

Security heads-up: researchers flagged a cross-platform malware strain (“ModStealer”) that targets 50+ browser wallet extensions, aiming to lift keys, credentials and certificates while evading AV engines. Operators should harden endpoints, enforce hardware-signing where possible, and review extension policies across dev fleets. (CoinDesk, citing security researchers.)

NFTs remain in deep freeze: Christie’s closed its digital art department after volumes slumped, indicating the category’s absorption into broader contemporary sales rather than a standalone growth engine—for now. For builders, the message is clear: utility and curation > hype cycles. (As reported by CoinDesk.)
