Ethereum ETF Inflows & Market Pulse — Top Crypto Headlines (Aug 12)

Top of the day (Tuesday, August 12). I track a strong inflow of capital into Ethereum ETFs and watch how that impacts ETH liquidity and price action.

I note comments from the SEC chair about Ripple, and I keep an eye on CYBER’s current moves and Monero’s recent attack — these developments matter for token security and market sentiment.

I’m monitoring the number of short positions in ETH/USD and observing that BTC sellers are currently outpacing buyers, which could pressure the broader crypto market.

I’m also following Circle’s blockchain initiative, whale activity, U.S. inflation data, and market expectations around the Fed rate decision, since these macro factors influence crypto flows and volatility.

I pay attention to several exchange and product updates: a national crypto exchange in Vietnam, SUI listing on Robinhood, and TON’s solid week. Traders are actively positioning for ETH upside, and open interest in ETH futures is notable.

I track legal and regulatory headlines: Do Kwon’s admission of guilt and possible prison time, Russia’s potential ban on calls via WhatsApp and Telegram, as well as broader U.S. stock market trends, Visa’s moves into stablecoins, and political developments affecting markets.

Additional points I watch include profits tied to Donald Trump, the top trader positions on Hyperliquid, and a range of market chatter that could translate into short-term volatility.
