Spot Bitcoin ETFs Experience Diverse Movements
Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. continue to attract strong interest from investors. According to initial data compiled by Farside Investors, Grayscale’s spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a $35.8 million influx on March 4, 2025. This turnaround was interpreted as a notable recovery signal following recent outflows.

However, outflows were observed from some ETFs. On the same day, ARKB recorded an outflow of $43.9 million, while BITB saw a $24 million outflow. Initial figures for March 4, 2025, indicate that investors are reshaping their strategies towards Bitcoin.

Limited Inflows Seen in Ethereum ETFs
On the Ethereum (ETH) side, Grayscale’s funds attracted attention with some inflows. For the last trading day of March 4, 2025, Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) saw a $10.7 million influx, while Grayscale’s Ethereum ETF (ETH) experienced an $8.5 million inflow.

Based on the initial figures, it appears that outflows dominate in Bitcoin ETFs, while inflows are more pronounced in Ethereum ETFs. This suggests a growing investor interest shifting towards the leading altcoin, ETH. However, inflows into Ethereum ETFs remain limited compared to those in Bitcoin ETFs.

Major US asset management firm Grayscale Investments has filed a 19b-4 application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list and trade the Hedera ETF.

On behalf of Grayscale, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange filed a 19b-4 filing for the Hedera ETF product.

If approved, the Hedera ETF would trade on the Nasdaq exchange, like Grayscale’s other funds. Key details about the fund, such as the custodian chosen for the Hedera ETF, have not been disclosed. However, it has been reported that Coinbase, which is Grayscale’s choice for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs GBTC and ETHE, could be chosen as the custodian.

Canary Capital led the HBAR filings last week by filing for an HBAR ETF.

This is not Grayscale's first ETF application for altcoins, as it has previously applied for ETFs for Cardano (ADA), Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), and XRP.

Apart from popular altcoins, ETF applications have also been made for popular memecoins such as TRUMP, MELANIA, and BONK. According to Bloomberg analysts, while approval rates for XRP, Solana, and Litecoin ETFs remain high, the likelihood of memecoin ETFs receiving approval still remains uncertain.

MetaMask is expanding its reach. The popular Ethereum wallet will soon support Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL), making it easier for users to manage different cryptocurrencies in one place. Announced at ETHDenver, this update aims to create a smoother and more connected crypto experience.

By mid-2025, MetaMask users will be able to store, send, and trade Bitcoin (BTC) directly, without needing a separate wallet or using wrapped versions of the coin. Even earlier, in May, MetaMask will add support for Solana, making it the first non-Ethereum-based blockchain on the platform. This will make it easier for users to manage different types of cryptocurrencies in one place.

MetaMask is also improving how transactions work. A new feature, ERC-5792, will let users bundle multiple steps like approving and swapping tokens into a single action. This means users will need to click less, complete transactions faster, and pay lower gas fees. Co-founder Dan Finlay pointed out that this update will make using DeFi much smoother and more efficient.

MetaMask is also improving security. Right now, if you lose your private key, you lose access to your funds permanently because MetaMask works like a regular wallet with a single key. To fix this, MetaMask is shifting toward smart contract-based accounts, which include built-in recovery options and enhanced security. Finlay calls this shift “Self-Custody 2.0,” giving users more control over their assets while reducing risks.

In another big move, MetaMask’s debit card is expanding. Already available in the UK and EU, it will roll out in select U.S. states by mid-March. This card links directly to a MetaMask wallet, letting users spend their crypto anywhere Mastercard is accepted. The idea is simple: let users earn staking rewards while keeping funds available for daily expenses.

MetaMask has been a favorite among crypto users, but with other wallets catching up, it’s stepping up its game.

By adding support for Bitcoin and Solana, improving security, and making transactions easier, MetaMask is making crypto more user-friendly for everyone.

Chip-making giant Nvidia has beaten Wall Street expectations with its latest earnings, with a nearly 80% jump in revenue year-on-year due to sales of its artificial intelligence-centered microchips.

In a Feb. 26 earnings report for its 2025 fiscal year and fourth quarter ended Jan. 26, Nvidia announced revenues of $39.3 billion for the quarter — up 12% from its previous quarter and up 78% from the same quarter a year ago.
Zacks Investment Research said Wall Street revenue estimates pegged revenue at only $37.72 billion, while earnings per share of 89 cents beat expectations of 84 cents.

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said on an earnings call that the earnings uptick was thanks to “amazing” demand for its microchip Blackwell — designed for AI, machine learning and high-performance computing.

“AI is advancing at light speed as agentic AI and physical AI set the stage for the next wave of AI to revolutionize the largest industries.”
Nvidia’s data center revenue accounted for over 90% of the firm’s total revenues, hitting $35.6 billion, up 93% from a year ago.

Shares in Nvidia Corp (NVDA) closed trading on Feb. 26 up 3.67% to $131.28, according to Google Finance.

It’s still down from its all-time high set In November when the stock closed at over $147.

Late last month, on Jan. 27, Nvidia saw the largest one-day value drop in US stock market history when its shares closed down nearly 17% — wiping out almost $600 billion in value amid investor panic after Chinese AI firm DeepSeek released a model that reportedly rivaled OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Huang has previously said his firm is focused on being at the forefront of agentic AI as the race around the tech heats up.
Other US firms have also begun ramping up AI expansion. Microsoft said in September that it was establishing two AI centers in Abu Dhabi, which was among the significant AI investments throughout 2024.

At the same time, Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies have been diversifying their income streams to include AI, converting some of their crypto mining operations over to help run compute-intensive large language models.

In August, asset manager VanEck estimated that if publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies shifted 20% of their energy capacity to AI and high-performance computing by 2027, they could increase additional yearly profits by $13.9 billion over 13 years.
The decline in Nvidia's valuation is considered a “bullish development” for Bitcoin, according to a Jan. 27 report by research firm 10x Research.

The firm suggested that reduced spending on AI could help ease inflation, which could lead to more favorable monetary policy from the US Federal Reserve.
