Kraken Subsidiary Is Major A Beneficiary Of Bitcoin ETFs In US & HK: Bloomberg
Crypto exchange Kraken’s subsidiary is a major beneficiary of the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) in the United States and Hong Kong, as per a latest report by Bloomberg. The company predicts $1 billion of assets under management (AUM) in spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in Hong Kong, as well as other markets to see the listing of spot crypto ETFs.
Kraken’s CF Benchmarks Gains 50% of Crypto Benchmarking Market
CF Benchmarks, a subsidiary of crypto exchange Kraken, saw a massive increase in demand for its indices amid a boon in spot Bitcoin ETFs. The United States and Hong Kong are major financial hubs bringing exposure of already established institutional investors base to Bitcoin.
The company said it represents almost 50% market share in the crypto benchmarking market as a result of launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. in January and in Hong Kong last year. It provides data for about $24 billion in crypto ETFs, primarily BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF with $16.2 billion AUM.
CF Benchmarks expects its revenue to almost double this year, as per the rising demand for spot Bitcoin ETF. The last available revenue data indicates it reached £6 million ($7.5 million) in 2022. In addition, the firm plans to expand headcount by around a third to more than 40. Kraken acquired CF Benchmarks in 2019.
South Korea and Israel Are Next in Crypto ETFs Race
CF Benchmarks chief executive officer Sui Chung sees them working with crypto ETFs issuers in South Korea and Israel next. South Korea has one of the largest crypto users, with high trading volumes impacting crypto prices.
“South Korea is a market where ETFs have become the wrapper of choice for long-term savings. It is also a market where digital assets have gained a high degree of adoption,” said Sui Chung.
The company expects Hong Kong-based spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs to witness $1 billion in funds under management by year-end.
CoinShares head of research James Butterfill revealed Hong while other markets suffer outflows from digital asset products, Hong Kong saw $300 million in inflows so far this week.

Solana is now home to the largest yield-bearing tokenized treasury following the launch of a new share class on the network. According to a press release, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) has extended support to Solana, pushing the frontier for traditional money market funds.
BUIDL Expands To Solana As It Eyes Expansion
One year after BlackRock and Securitize teamed up to roll out BUIDL, the blockchain-based money market fund has made its Solana debut. Securitize announced the development in a press release, noting the rollout of a new share class on Solana.
Following the expansion, BUIDL investors can now use the tokenized fund across Solana’s ecosystem. Securitize and BlackRock are eyeing lower transaction costs and instant settlements associated with the Solana network.
“As the market for RWAs and tokenized treasuries gains momentum, expanding BUIDL to Solana – a blockchain known for its speed, scalability, and cost efficiency – is a natural step,” said Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo.
Solana Foundation President Lily Liu stated in a press release that Solana will offer BUIDL a balance between innovation and operational efficiency. Liu cited Solana’s rising network metrics and active developer ecosystem as key reasons for the network to power the next wave of real-world assets (RWA).
BUIDL, with $1.7 billion AUM, has to stave off competition from Fidelity’s Treasury Digital Fund currently eyeing an OnChain share class on Ethereum.
Solana’s Institutional Adoption Surges To New Levels
Several institutions are tapping Solana for integrations to improve the scope of their offerings. Polymarket joined the fray with an announcement enabling SOL deposits of the prediction markets platform. Before Polymarket’s announcement, users could only fund their accounts via Circle’s stablecoin offering, USDC.
A wave of Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are angling to flood the markets, a clear indicator of rising institutional appetite.
Following the BUIDL announcement, SOL currently trades at $144, sparking enthusiasm for a potential Ethereum flippening. However, daily trading volume has waned to settle down at $3.35 billion following the frantic exchange following Polymarket’s integration.

The Chainlink (LINK) price has seen a significant surge after partnering with Abu Dhabi’s ADGM. This sparks a bullish sentiment signaling a major rally ahead. Experts remain optimistic about LINK’s future trends and predict that Chainlink will soon ascend to new highs.
Let’s unveil Chainlink’s recent Abu Dhabi partnership and its potential implications on the LINK price.
Chainlink (LINK) Price Sees Major Rally: Is $44 the Next Target?
Driven by recent developments, the Chainlink (LINK) price has seen a significant uptrend. With its price increasing by more than 8% in a week, Chainlink is expected to continue its bullish path.
Recently, an analyst, known on X as CW, spotted a bull flag pattern on Chainlink’s one-day chart. While $12 serves as a crucial support level for the Chainlink price, the rally past the mark indicates the token’s potential upward trend. CW also pinpointed $18 as a resistance level, predicting that if Chainlink surpasses this point, it could soar to $44.
What Moves LINK Price Up?
In the latest development within the Chainlink ecosystem, the platform entered into a strategic partnership with the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to promote tokenization in the UAE. As part of the collaboration, Chainlink and ADGM have signed an MoU to create a secure and legally sound environment for asset tokenization in financial markets.
Significantly, ADGM will provide regulatory guidance, frameworks for secure tokenization, and expertise in asset tokenization. At the same time, Chainlink will contribute its technical expertise, blockchain-based solutions, and tokenization infrastructure.
Acknowledging ADGM’s resilient infrastructure, Angie Walker, Senior Executive Officer at Chainlink Labs Abu Dhabi, stated,
Our alliance will elevate the blockchain ecosystem in the UAE, driving greater innovation and adoption. We are excited to see projects under the purview of ADGM Registration Authority adopt the Chainlink standard, enabling seamless compliance, enhanced connectivity across markets, and highly secure on-chain services.”
Chainlink Future Trends: Analyst Insights
LINK price today traded at $15.31, up 0.31% over the past day. The Chainlink price has experienced an 8.3% surge over the past week despite a monthly decline of 14%. The 24-hour trading volume, currently at $339.14 million, has seen a slight increase of 1.59%. As per a LINK price prediction, the crypto may not witness massive gains ahead based on the current trends.
Reflecting on this positive sentiment, analysts like CW foresee a major bullish upswing. Analyst Marzell provided a detailed analysis of Chainlink presenting a weekly chart. According to him, LINK is currently trading within a clear rising wedge structure, having just bounced off the 0.786 Fibonacci level at $13.55. This level is historically a strong retracement zone.
As this surge aligns with the lower trendline support, it hints at a potential continuation of the upward momentum. If this trend is sustained, the Chainlink price could hit $25.80, $32.66, and $40.70.

Pi coin, the native cryptocurrency of Pi Network, is once again facing strong selling pressure following the rejection at $1. The Pi Coin price has tanked 5% in the last 24 hours, now trading at $0.923, with daily trading volumes crashing 30.56%, slipping under $200 million. The PI token unlocks and movement to centralized exchanges (CEXs) have led to the current selling pressure.
Pi Network Native Crypto Supply on Exchange Increases
Over the last seven days, the Pi Network native crypto Pi Coin has corrected 22% after it failed to breach past $.120 levels multiple times. This has also resulted in the cryptocurrency slipping from 11th position to now at 23rd position, while losing over $13 billion in market cap over the past month.
Pi Fails To Hold $1 Mark
Pi Coin price is failing to regain $1 as PI exchange deposits have shot up in recent days. This selling pressure comes with nearly 8 million PI tokens moving to centralized exchanges (CEXs). According to market analysts, the PiCore Team (PCT) must take urgent action to stabilize the token’s value. A proposed solution involves burning 60 to 100 million coins from the circulating supply in the coming days to prevent further price depreciation.
On the other hand, the total number of PiCoins held on CEXs has surged to over 338 million. This has further led to concerns about increased sell-offs and price volatility in Pi Network.
Where’s Pi Coin Heading Next?
A recent TradingView chart by Coinvo reveals a sophisticated trading pattern for the PI/USDT trading pair on Bitget, highlighting a potential “Triple ZigZag” formation that suggests a possible market trend reversal.
This 8-hour chart shows an Elliot wave analysis. This coupled with the “Triple ZigZag” chart specifically shows a series of corrective waves (labeled A, B, C) with the most recent waves suggesting a potential upward momentum.
Coinvo noted that as Pi Network’s Pi Coin price flirts around $0.9512, there’s a potential price appreciation happening in the coming weeks. Another market analyst TraderFy has shared a bold prediction for $PI eyeing a major breakout. “$PI is about to explode! A massive falling wedge breakout is inevitable,” he wrote sharing that the immediate price targets are $2.00529 and $2.38466.
