Bitcoin-ETFs lose $242 million, while Ethereum funds followed with losses of $48 million
Fidelity and Grayscale topped the list for outflows of funds on Tuesday
After a series of positive inflows, 12 U.S. bitcoin spot ETFs faced an obstacle on Tuesday.

ARKB followed with a loss of $84.35 million, BITB recorded an exit of $32.7 million, HODL lost $15.75 million, and the Grayscale GBTC fund registered a loss of $5.9 million.
The bright spot was the Blackrock IBIT fund, which was able to raise $40.84 million, which helped offset some of the overall losses. The remaining six funds were not particularly active, ending the day with no gains or losses. Despite Tuesday's setbacks, the 12 funds still have a combined net inflow of $18.62 billion and together hold $57.36 billion in bitcoin reserves, representing 4.77% of bitcoin's market capitalization. 1 reply

Phantom Wallet joins Dydx, simplifying access for 7 million users
Dydx announced its integration with Phantom Wallet, the leading Solana-based non-custodial wallet, into its decentralized finance (defi) platform. This integration aims to simplify access for Phantom's more than 7 million users, in line with Dydx's goal of increasing participation in decentralized commerce.
Phantom Wallet is now on Dydx, improving user access
The new integration allows Phantom Wallet users to easily connect their wallets and start trading on Dydx's decentralized exchange (dex). The move is part of Dydx's broader strategy to improve user experience by supporting several non-costodial wallets, including Metamask and Coinbase Wallet.
“After integrating the Solana-based Raydium marketplaces into Dydx, integrating Solana's flagship wallet, Phantom, was a logical next step,” said Charles D'Haussy, CEO of the Dydx Foundation. “This gives Phantom's 7 million users direct access to Dydx's professional defi trading protocol.” 0 reply
