New Huo Resea2026-09-15 10:26:25New Huo Research says traditional trusts are pushing away the next generation of crypto wealth clientsNew Huo Research argues that traditional trust companies are turning away a group of clients that increasingly needs professional wealth-structuring services: high-net-worth crypto holders. Citing a recent Financial Times report, the institute said some conventional trust providers have refused to establish offshore trust structures for crypto-rich clients, pointing to asset volatility, the difficulty of reviewing on-chain transactions, and custody challenges. In some cases, clients were reportedly told to liquidate their digital assets first and enter the trust structure only with fiat. The article says that gap reflects a broader mismatch between legacy trust services and digital-asset wealth. In its view, the debate has shifted. With spot ETFs now in place, on-chain analytics more widely available, and institutional-grade custody infrastructure maturing, the key issue is no longer whether crypto can sit inside a trust. The real test is whether trustees can handle due diligence, custody, asset segregation, and inheritance planning without lowering compliance standards. New Huo Research also argues that licensed digital-asset trust providers are beginning to capture demand that traditional firms are declining, as younger family successors and first-generation crypto entrepreneurs look for structures that combine legal protection, compliance, and continued control over investment strategy.440
Policy Regula2026-08-11 10:25:10New Huo Research: ETF inflows surge while Bitcoin sentiment stays in fear territoryNew Huo Research said the crypto market showed an unusual split over the past week: capital kept flowing in, but sentiment remained weak. U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds took in $853 million, the biggest weekly net inflow since mid-April, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for more than 80% of that total. Spot Ether ETFs added another $245 million, pushing combined weekly crypto ETF inflows above $1.1 billion. Even so, the Fear and Greed Index stayed at 31 to 32, and Coinbase’s Bitcoin discount extended to 82 days, the longest run on record for that indicator. The report also pointed to several catalysts shaping the market. U.S. July nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly showed a decline of 23,000 jobs versus expectations for an increase of 80,000, while the unemployment rate edged down to 4.2% because of labor force exits. On Polymarket, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike in September was put at 36%. New Huo Research said traders are now focused on the July CPI report due on Aug. 12, the last key macro print before the Sept. 16 FOMC meeting. It also flagged the delayed Senate vote on the CLARITY Act, a Coldcard firmware exploit tied to the theft of 1,500 to 2,000 BTC, and Strategy’s sale of 1,638 BTC as factors influencing the current market setup.1810
New Huo Resea2026-07-21 07:06:46New Huo Research says sticky inflation may keep crypto from breaking into a standalone bull runNew Huo Research said the latest U.S. inflation data does not justify an early shift toward optimism, even after June CPI slowed to 3.5% year over year and core CPI was nearly flat on a monthly basis. In its view, the headline cooling was driven largely by energy, while core goods prices kept rising and parts of core services, including financial services and inpatient medical care, continued to move higher. The institute also pointed to comments from Federal Reserve Chair Walsh, who said the latest inflation print did not fully capture underlying price pressure and has repeatedly stressed the Fed’s independence and “zero tolerance” for inflation. The report paired that macro view with stress in traditional markets, especially storage semiconductors. Micron fell 13.3% last week, SK Hynix dropped 18.24%, and South Korea’s KOSPI slid 9.48% and triggered a circuit breaker, as investors reassessed AI spending, rising geopolitical risk, and deleveraging pressure in Korea. Against that backdrop, crypto held up better: BTC gained 1.3%, ETH rose 3.4%, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shifted from large net outflows to continued net inflows, Coinbase’s negative premium narrowed, and Robinhood Chain’s ecosystem posted strong early activity. Even so, New Huo Research said crypto is unlikely to enter an independent bull market in the near term, though market fundamentals are showing signs of improvement.1740
