Crypto asset manager known for its publicly traded trusts and funds tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash and other digital assets, including GBTC and ETHE.
U.S. bitcoin ETFs took in $5.06 million on Thursday while ether ETFs lost $60.22 million, according to Bitcoin News. BlackRock's IBIT alone added $16.79 million, and four sessions of flipping flows leave bitcoin funds about $146 million down.
Reality
Grayscale is putting three crypto funds on Republic's platform from $2,500, open in the US only to verified accredited investors. That ticket is 0.25% of the $1 million net worth that is one route to qualifying.
Reality
US bitcoin and ether ETFs shed about $965 million in two sessions as ether funds logged an eighth straight day of redemptions. Most of Thursday's selling sat in Fidelity's FBTC and BlackRock's ETHA, consistent with a few large holders trimming positions.
Reality
CoinShares says Treasury yields at two-decade highs, 5.3% on the 10-year and 5.7% on the 30-year, could matter more for bitcoin than Fed rate decisions. The firm concedes its fund-flow data has not yet shown that debt fear is what drew money into bitcoin products.
Reality
Glassnode's Rafael Schultze-Kraft counts 31.2% of circulating Bitcoin behind exposed public keys, up 222,000 BTC since May while supply grew 64,000 BTC. Exchanges supplied most of that rise, and a venue can cut its share by moving reserves to fresh addresses.

Grayscale's Zcash fund passed $1 billion in assets within a month of listing, though only about $200 million of that is cash from outside investors. Most of the rest is coins carried over from its 2017 trust and a ZEC price that roughly doubled after trading began.
Reality
Winklevoss Asset Services filed for a spot Zcash ETF with a 0.25% sponsor fee, a tenth of the 2.50% Grayscale charges on its $751 million fund. Grayscale's recent withdrawals came before the filing and tracked a 21% fall in ZEC, so the fee gap has not yet been tested.

Grayscale's XRP ETF now lets Virtu and Macquarie swap XRP directly for fund shares, according to an Oct. 5 SEC filing reported by Bitcoin.com News. Grayscale itself warns that limited dealer participation can widen spreads, so for now the fund's tracking of XRP rests on those two firms.
Reality
BlackRock's ETHA lost $201.89 million on Tuesday, the entire ether ETF outflow in a sixth straight losing session, as its IBIT drew $122 million. So far the gap between bitcoin and ether money sits inside one issuer's two funds, and no other ether ETF had net flows.
Reality
Grayscale says removing bitcoin's 15 best days turns its 225% three-year gain into an 11% loss, while the Nasdaq-100's 109% return falls only to 21%. That makes waiting in cash far costlier in bitcoin, though the test as reported only prices missed good days.
Reality
Grayscale's Oct. 5 research shows bitcoin's 225% three-year return turns into an 11% loss once its 15 best trading days are removed. The study drops only the rallies, so it puts a hard price on sitting out but leaves untested the timer who also skips the worst sessions.
Reality
Zcash rose 3% and Monero 2.14% over 24 hours to lead the largest coins, while Bitcoin gained 0.59%. The $30.25 million that left Grayscale's Zcash ETF on Sept. 30 equals about 0.13% of Zcash's $23.18 billion market value.
Reality
Grayscale research head Zach Pandl says AI-linked tokens rose 54% in September against 24% for crypto overall, with NEAR up 183%. Broken out token by token, the figures show one strong name in a small sector more than a market pricing blockchains as infrastructure for agents.
Reality
BlackRock's IBIT took in $450 million last week while all US spot bitcoin ETFs together netted $241 million, about 90% less than the week before. That keeps a three-week inflow streak alive on one fund's buyers heading into October.
Reality
Grayscale's ZCSH, the first US spot Zcash ETF, lost $93.56 million to outflows in one week, leaving $212.56 million of net inflows since its August launch. Its assets fell further, to about $751 million from a September peak as high as $979 million, with ZEC's price accounting for much of the drop.

Grayscale's Zcash ETF recorded a $30.25 million net outflow on Sept. 30, leaving cumulative net inflows near $268 million. With ZEC 21% below its late-September peak, the next flow prints will show whether the fund's buyers stay with the coin after its run.
Reality
Bitcoin rose 0.9% to $84,376 after August core PCE came in at 3.0%, below the 3.3% economists expected. Lower odds of an October Fed hike did little for a market whose September rally ran on ETF inflows that have since faded.

Wallets tied to the $387.5 million Bitget hack moved 2,746 ZEC, about $3.9 million, into Zcash's Ironwood shielded pool on September 30. The deposit is about 1% of the theft, and across every route tracked so far roughly 13 dollars have gone dark for each dollar frozen.
Reality
Bitcoin's CMBI benchmark closed near $83,113, just under the $84,000-$85,000 band where Glassnode counts more long-term holder coins than at any other price. With futures leverage at its lowest since March, spot buyers and sellers will decide whether the band holds.
Reality
Bitwise's NRR, the first US spot NEAR ETF, stakes its tokens and keeps about 67% of a roughly 5% reward rate for shareholders. After the 0.75% fee, that comes to roughly 2.6% a year in extra tokens, just above NEAR's 2.5% inflation.
