Both BTC and ETH showed modest gains last week with the Federal Reserve rate cut already priced in. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) signaled a shift, viewing crypto as an "economic growth engine" and planning warnings before enforcement actions—moving away from "regulation by ambush." U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs experienced mixed but predominantly positive net inflows, totaling approximately $886.5 million for BTC and $557 million for ETH, which reflects renewed institutional interest amid the rate cut.

The FOMC meeting's outcome was widely anticipated, with the market fully pricing in a 25 basis point rate cut. Realized volatility for both majors remained subdued, with 7-day realized volatility holding steady at approximately 22% for BTC and 36% for ETH. Implied volatility trended downward with a neutral-to-bearish skew in the volatility smile across the term structure. Funding rate from perpetuals also declined, reinforcing this sentiment. ETH/BTC spot consolidation continues with low volatility, holding above 0.038—a key level.
The major benchmarks rose to new all-time high levels for the week: the DJIA added +1.0%, the S&P 500 +1.2%, and the Nasdaq +2.2%. The Chinese stocks declined for the week: the Shanghai Composite Index lost 1.30%, the CSI 300 lost 0.44% while the Hang Seng index added +0.59%.
