Hashdex \'DEFI\' heads for liquidation as smaller bitcoin ETFs struggle to gain ground
Asset manager Hashdex has started liquidation procedures for its bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund, DEFI. The fund ended trading on NYSE Arca on Aug. 17 and stopped accepting new trade orders the same day. Hashdex plans to sell remaining bitcoin, wind down operations and return residual assets to investors in cash based on net asset value. The move comes as overall bitcoin spot ETF inflows continue, led by BlackRock’s IBIT.

Charles Hoskinson said the cryptocurrency market downturn is temporary and that another bull market will follow. Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, he said the next rally will not be driven only by speculative money, and that developers should deliver easier and safer products rather than expecting users to understand complex infrastructure. He said real-world use would be the key driver of the next upswing, while remaining optimistic on Cardano and ADA.

Crypto deleveraging continues; Galaxy Research says not a 2022-style collapse
Crypto market deleveraging is continuing for a third straight quarter, but it differs from the sharp collapses seen in the 2022 bear market, an analysis said.
