Fed Rate Cut Sees Bitcoin Above $117K as ETF Flows Cool and Exchanges See Spot Selling

2025/09/18 16:53

Key Takeaways

  • The Federal Reserve cut 25 basis points to 4.25%; FOMC guidance is dovish, and markets now price a 94% chance of an October cut.
  • Bitcoin moved back above $117,000 intraday; $118,000 remains the dominant liquidation/resistance zone.
  • Spot ETF flows flipped: Bitcoin ETFs recorded $51.28 million net outflow on Sept 17 (first outflow after seven days of inflows). Ethereum ETFs were roughly flat with $1.89 million outflow.
  • Exchange deposits: three distinct waves of inflows exceeding $25 million per block in the past 48 hours. This is indicative of partial spot selling into the bounce.
  • Derivatives split: BTC and SOL perp open interest declined (less speculative long exposure); ETH, XRP, and BNB OI rose, highlighting reallocations within leverage pools.

Zero Knowledge Proof Crypto Opens Whitelist Before Global Launch

The post Zero Knowledge Proof Crypto Opens Whitelist Before Global Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Join the Zero Knowledge Proof crypto revolution. Vitalik Buterin’s zk vision becomes reality as ZKP opens whitelist access before full presale activation. When Vitalik Buterin began emphasizing the importance of zero-knowledge systems for Ethereum’s future, it was more than a technical update; it was a turning point for blockchain itself. His pivot toward zk cryptography signaled that scalability and privacy needed deeper solutions, not small gas fixes. Through EIP-4844, proto-danksharding, and zk-rollups, Ethereum has moved to adopt these principles across 2024–2025. But even now, these upgrades remain layered, never fully integrated. Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) steps in as the next phase not built on legacy frameworks, but created from the ground up as a unified zk-native ecosystem. For those exploring zero knowledge proof crypto, this is where the concept finally becomes real. Ethereum’s ZK Roadmap: Strong Ideas, Slower Integration Ethereum’s zk development has been ambitious but slow. EIP-4844 and proto-danksharding were designed to cut rollup costs and expand throughput. Vitalik Buterin has repeatedly called zk-rollups the foundation of Ethereum’s long-term scalability and privacy goals. Projects like zkSync, Scroll, and Polygon zkEVM have brought real progress by bridging Layer 2 systems to Ethereum’s main chain, boosting efficiency and cutting costs. Yet, Ethereum’s zero knowledge proof crypto roadmap remains gradual. Each zk-rollup runs independently, anchored to Layer 1 for data and finality. The result is a fragmented ecosystem where zk technology enhances Ethereum but doesn’t define it. While valuable, this modular approach leaves an open question: what if zero knowledge were the base layer instead of a side feature? Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP): The Full Realization of Vitalik’s Blueprint Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) answers that question by doing what Ethereum has been building toward, launching a fully zk-native blockchain from Day One. The project isn’t live yet, but every system,…
