At the end of the trading day, bitcoin ETF net assets stood at $95.45 billion, with total trading volume surging to $2.09 billion. Ether ETFs, after two brief days of inflows, fell back into negative territory with a $3.58 million outflow. Grayscale’s ETH led the decline, losing $2.7 million, while Bitwise’s ETHW shed $2.6 million. Source: Sosovalue A modest $1.72 million inflow from 21shares’ CETH wasn’t enough to change the tide, as total net assets for ether ETFs settled at $6.54 billion, with daily trading volume reaching $194.11 million. With crypto markets facing macroeconomic uncertainty and renewed investor caution, the ETF space continues to see capital flight. Bitcoin ETFs are now navigating a renewed sell-off, while ether ETFs struggle to break out of their long-term downtrend. The question remains: How long will the sell-off last? 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Grayscale is expanding its exchange-traded funds offering with two new products targeted at investors seeking exposure via covered call writing strategies. Grayscale, one of the leading crypto asset managers in the ecosystem, announced the launch of the new Bitcoin ( BTC ) exchange-traded funds on April 2, 2025. The Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF and Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income ETF will trade under the ticker symbols BTCC and BPI, respectively. The new Bitcoin ETF products will offer investors access to options-based income generation via covered call strategies. In this case, Grayscale aims to provide investors an opportunity to benefit from Bitcoin’s market volatility through income-focused products. BTCC and BPI come on the heels of renewed demand for exchange-traded products. Grayscale’s push to gain further traction in the space also includes a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund into an ETF . BTCC is an “income-first strategy” that will leverage Bitcoin’s volatility and likely a great opportunity for investors eyeing regular cash flows and high yield. Investors can also use the option premiums they receive to hedge against market downturns. “Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF may complement an investors existing Bitcoin exposure by adding income, while Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Income ETF offers an alternative to Bitcoin ownership, aiming to balance upside participation and income generation for investors,” David LaValle, global head of ETFs at Grayscale, said. The Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF seeks to generate current income, with a secondary objective of providing access to BTC returns through options on spot Bitcoin ETFs. Grayscale plans to include its spot ETF products, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF and the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, in the BTCC fund. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Premium Income ETF will target calls on BTC strike prices “well out of the money,” allowing investors to benefit from potential dividend-like income from BTC appreciation. Grayscale says both funds are actively managed, fully options-based, and aim to offer income distribution on a monthly basis.

Elon Musk, via his platform X, has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the IRS’s practices regarding access to Coinbase user data. This initiative is part of a broader debate on privacy protection in the crypto space. X Corp, Elon Musk’s company that manages the X platform, filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, contesting the IRS’s methods. The company specifically denounces the use of so-called “no-suspicion” subpoenas allowing the tax authorities to access, without a judicial warrant, the financial data of users on platforms like Coinbase. The case highlights how the tax authorities obtained, through simple administrative subpoena, three years of transaction statements concerning over 14,000 Coinbase customers, including James Harper, the main plaintiff. Alongside seven advocacy groups and researchers, X Corp denounces these “no-suspicion subpoenas” as a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects Americans against unreasonable searches. Following this request, the Supreme Court asked the federal government on Monday to formulate an official response, highlighting the importance of this case. The dispute dates back to 2020 when James Harper sued the IRS to contest the seizure of his personal information related to cryptos. In 2023, a federal court ruled in favor of the IRS, determining that the tax agency was acting within the scope of its legal prerogatives. The current appeal before the Supreme Court thus marks a new stage in this legal battle, with potentially significant implications for the protection of digital financial data. This initiative perfectly aligns with Elon Musk’s vision regarding digital governance. The billionaire, who recently sold his platform X to his own company xAI for 33 billion dollars, has always positioned himself as an advocate for privacy and freedom of speech. By taking a stand for the protection of cryptocurrency users’ data, Musk strengthens his credibility among the tech and crypto communities, particularly sensitive to privacy issues. The Supreme Court’s verdict could redefine the limits of state power in relation to digital privacy. This case resonates with the recent case of Tornado Cash , a crypto mixing protocol ultimately removed from the OFAC blacklist after a court ruled that the agency had overstepped its authority. This case resonates with the recent case of Tornado Cash , a crypto mixing protocol ultimately removed from the OFAC blacklist after a court ruled that the agency had overstepped its authority, illustrating the growing tensions between state regulation and digital freedoms.
