The Purpose Exchange-Traded Fund, one of the first approved bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs), has seen a slowdown in net inflows this week after experiencing a period of relatively strong demand in May and June, according to a report by Glassnode.

“The week closed with the largest net outflow of -90.76 BTC since mid-May,” said the report.
The slowdown suggests institutional demand for the largest currency by market cap remains weak across these regulated products, according to Glassnode.
The bitcoin price fell early Tuesday below the crucial support level of $30,000 for the first time in four weeks. As of press time, bitcoin was trading around $29,960.
While data tracked by Glassnode shows weak institutional demand, the situation is somewhat encouraging in Europe.
“This is only $3 million of outflows," said Laurent Kssis, managing director of ETPs at 21Shares AG. "In Europe, some ETP bitcoin have seen larger outflows in one day.”
Also contributing to the bearish case for bitcoin is the performance of the Grayscale (GBTC) bitcoin trust share price. The GBTC shares continued to trade last week at a notable discount to the fund's net asset value, ranging between 11% and down to 15.3%, demonstrating lackluster demand for the cryptocurrency, according to Glassnode.
Grayscale is owned by CoinDesk parent Digital Currency Group.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
알아야 할 것:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Circle’s biggest bear just threw in the towel, but warns the stock is still a crypto roller coaster
Circle’s rising correlation with ether and DeFi exposure drives the re-rating, despite valuation and competition concerns.
알아야 할 것:
- Compass Point’s Ed Engel upgraded Circle (CRCL) to Neutral from Sell and cut his price target to $60, arguing the stock now trades more as a proxy for crypto markets than as a standalone fintech.
- Engel notes that CRCL’s performance is increasingly tied to the ether and broader crypto cycles, with more than 75% of USDC supply used in DeFi or on exchanges, and the stock is still trading at a rich premium.
- Potential catalysts such as the CLARITY Act and tokenization of U.S. assets could support USDC growth, but Circle faces mounting competition from new stablecoins and bank-issued “deposit coins,” and its revenue may remain closely linked to speculative crypto activity for years.
