Bitcoin ETF Inflows

Bitcoin ETFs in the United States have experienced their most significant inflows in over a month, totaling $295 million on July 8. The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF saw the largest inflow with $187.5 million, followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund with $61.5 million, and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust with $25.1 million, despite concerns over large Bitcoin sales by the German government and upcoming repayments by the defunct Japanese crypto exchange Mt. Gox, which could introduce $8.5 billion worth of Bitcoin into the market. However, some analysts believe the fears surrounding these sales may be exaggerated.

Altcoin Performance

StarkNet and Manta Network, two Layer 2 assets, have shown significant gains. StarkNet’s price increased by 9% in the past 24 hours, accompanied by a 30% rise in daily trading volume to $75 million. Manta Network’s token rose by nearly 7%, with a similar increase in trading volume. The positive funding rate for Manta indicates a strong demand for long positions, suggesting that traders anticipate further price increases.

Solana ETF Prospects

There is speculation about the potential approval of a spot ETF for Solana. The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) filed applications on July 8th for the VanEck Solana Trust and 21Shares Solana ETF. The SEC has 240 days to decide on these applications, with a final decision expected by mid-March 2025. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas suggests that the approval chances could be influenced by the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, with higher chances if Donald Trump wins.

LandRocker Game Token Listing

The play-to-earn game LandRocker has listed its token, LRT. This follows a successful pre-sale that raised $2.8 million and previous listings on other exchanges like Mexi and Uniswap. LandRocker’s new roadmap promises transparency and engagement with daily video updates and a live interactive map to strengthen community trust.

Telegram Games

Telegram has been actively enhancing its platform with new games. Hamster Kombat recently got listed on Bit’s pre-market platform. The game has attracted around 23 million users. Another Telegram game, NCoin, saw a 500% price increase last year and continues to lead to price recovery among altcoins. NCoin has integrated with the Telegram app and the open network blockchain, hosting over 200 projects with 22.5 million participants.
