BlackRock records $500 million in outflows from these two cryptos

2 min read

U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw another wave of withdrawals yesterday, August 20, the fourth consecutive day of consistent net outflows.

Bitcoin ETFs shed $311.57 million during the session, with BlackRock (IBIT) leading the sell-off with $220 million, according to data from SoSoValue on August 21.

Ark (ARKB) had the same idea, dropping $76 million, while Fidelity (FBTC) and Grayscale (GBTC) posted smaller outflows of $7 million and $8 million, respectively.

Ethereum ETFs also recorded substantial redemptions, with $240 million withdrawn on the day and BlackRock (ETHA) again taking the brunt of it, seeing $257 million in withdrawals. 

Trading volumes still high

Despite the net losses, trading volumes remained fairly high, suggesting investors are more likely to be repositioning rather than exiting the market altogether.

Shifting strategies could be the result of both Bitcoin and Ethereum struggling to hold key resistance levels. Indeed, both cryptocurrencies have slipped over the past week, with Bitcoin being down 6% yesterday on the weekly chart.

The asset has managed to bounce back a little by Thursday, August 21, however, briefly trading above $114,600 before plunging back to around $113,4710 at the time of writing.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
