Bitcoin and ether ETF inflows soared on one of the biggest days in the BTC's history.

Investors poured money into U.S. spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Monday as bitcoin
Flows into ether
Bitcoin ETFs netted a whopping $1.1 billion, the second-highest amount on record according to SoSoValue data, as the token's market cap climbed to a record $1.78 trillion, overtaking silver as the eighth-largest asset by market cap on the planet. The lion's share, $765.5 million, was funneled into the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with Fidelity's FBTC gaining $135.1 million.
"Assets in the US spot bitcoin ETFs are now up to $84b, which is 2/3 of the way to what gold ETFs have, all the sudden there's a decent shot they surpass gold before their first birthday (we predicted it would take 3-4yrs)," Eric Balchunas, a senior analyst at Bloomberg, said in a post on X.
The records didn't just stop at pure crypto investments. Shares of Microstrategy (MSTR), the publicly traded company with the largest stash of BTC, hit a record high. Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) topped $320 for the first time since November 2021.
"The Bitcoin Industrial Complex (ETFs + MSTR, COIN) saw $38b in trading volume today, with lifetime records being set all over the place, including IBIT, which did $4.5b. This points to a robust week of inflows. It was just an insane day; it really deserves a name a la Volmageddon," Balchunas said in a separate post.
As of press time, bitcoin is trading at $88,000 and ether around $3,400.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Cosa sapere:
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.
