Bitcoin has fallen from a record high of roughly $126,080 in October to trade recently in the low-$60,000s — a decline of nearly 50% that has rattled sentiment. But it may just be business as usual.  According to a Thursday report from asset manager VanEck, Bitcoin’s current slump tracks the asset’s historical four-year halving cycle, in which mining rewards are periodically cut in half, tightening new supply and often preceding a bear phase. The firm framed this downturn as a recurring feature of Bitcoin’s market structure rather than a break from it. VanEck’s GEO framework — which tracks Global Liquidity,…

FD Funds Management LLC, sponsor of the Fidelity Crypto Ethereum Fund (FETH), filed a pre-effective amendment to its Form S-3 registration statement with the U.S. SEC on July 24, 2026, adding disclosure that would let the fund stake up to 100% of its ether (ETH) holdings.

Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman Robert Kaplan has backed the Federal Reserve’s 9–3 decision to keep interest rates at 3.50%–3.75% in July, arguing that policymakers needed more time to assess inflation before acting. Summary The Fed held rates at 3.50%–3.75% in July despite three votes for an increase. Kaplan said incoming data should determine whether policymakers raise rates in September.

Why Kaplan supports the Fed rate pause Bloomberg Television reported on Aug. 13 that Kaplan, a…
