Tether adviser cites speculative industry structure as key reason bitcoin lags
A Tether adviser said bitcoin’s failure to return to record highs reflects speculative noise and a weak product structure inside the crypto industry, not technical limits. He said value is leaking from bitcoin as markets prioritise click-driven, short-term derivatives over infrastructure and distribution. While U.S. stocks and gold hit records, bitcoin remains below its peak. He also pointed to supply pressure, citing a model showing net inflows worsening and a cumulative balance falling to -154,169 BTC after an October 2025 high.

Shinhan Investment Securities says minor accounts up 272 percent as ETF long-term investing spreads
Shinhan Investment Securities said on Tuesday that investing by minors often begins with mobile-based, non-face-to-face account openings and develops into long-term, diversified investing centred on exchange-traded funds. It said the number of minor accounts opened in the first quarter of 2026 rose 272 percent from a year earlier, with 58.4 percent opened non-face-to-face. Average balances were about 10 million won per account, and trading favoured large-cap stocks and index-tracking ETFs.

It proposed the ticker IQQ, with an analyst estimating fees around 0.12 percent, below Invesco’s QQQ and QQQM. BlackRock’s scale, distribution and product structure could help, though Invesco’s liquidity and entrenched use in derivatives may limit switching.
