The post Solana ETF Inflows Hint at Growing Institutional Demand appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Solana ETFs recorded $8.4 million in net inflows last week, signaling rising institutional interest in the asset despite broader market uncertainty. Net inflows indicate more capital entered the funds than exited, suggesting steady accumulation from regulated investors rather than speculative retail trading. Analysts note the timing is significant, with SOL still trading near key support levels around $98 — a pattern similar to the early stages of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF adoption cycles. The growing inflows could strengthen the long-term bullish case for Solana.

The post U.S CPI Report Day Could Change Everything for Markets appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

U.S. inflation data drops at 8:30 AM ET today, and markets are preparing for a potentially major shock. March CPI came in at 3.3%, but forecasts for April are now climbing toward 3.7% year-over-year — the highest inflation reading in nearly two years. Rising energy prices tied to Middle East tensions are already pushing costs higher, while tariff impacts have yet to fully hit the data. Core CPI is also expected to rise, strengthening fears that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated for much longer than investors hoped.

The post CPI Report Today: Inflation Heat Could Shake Markets Again appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Markets are bracing for a hot April CPI report, with economists expecting headline inflation to rise 3.7% year-over-year after March’s sharp 0.9% monthly jump. Surging gasoline prices — fueled by escalating Iran-related oil tensions — were responsible for nearly three-quarters of March’s inflation spike. A stronger-than-expected reading would reinforce the Federal Reserve’s “higher for longer” interest rate stance, potentially pressuring stocks, crypto, and risk assets. Investors now see energy prices and inflation data as the key drivers for the next major market move.

Bhutan has reportedly moved another 100 BTC — worth around $8.1 million — from government-linked wallets, fueling speculation the country may be accelerating its Bitcoin selloff. According to Arkham data, Bhutan has already sold over $230 million in BTC during 2025 while still holding roughly $252 million. If sales continue near the current pace of $50 million monthly, the kingdom could fully exit its Bitcoin position before September. Even after the selloff, Bhutan would still secure an estimated $767 million profit from its long-term crypto strategy.

The post Australia Plans Major Crypto Tax Shake-Up appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Australia is reportedly preparing its biggest capital gains tax overhaul in decades, with plans to remove the 50% tax discount for crypto investors holding assets over 12 months. The proposal, expected in the 2027 budget, would replace the current system with a full inflation-indexed tax model on real gains.
