Active vs. Passive ETFs: Which is Right for Canadian Investors

Active vs. Passive ETFs: Which is Right for Canadian Investors

The post Active vs. Passive ETFs: Which is Right for Canadian Investors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become one of the most popular investment methods in Canada. Many feel that in the past couple of years, these funds have replaced the practice of opening a TFSA for retirees managing RRIF withdrawals. The ETFs combine the diversification options and liquidity, which is what the investors are after. The main dilemma for Canadian investors is now whether to invest in active or passive ETFs. In this article, we’ll explain the difference between the two and provide guidance for investors on how to choose the one that suits them, based on their circumstances. The Canadian Context Before diving into the difference between passive and active ETFs, we should explain the Canadian investment context and how it differs from similar countries. Being pooled investment funds, ETFs trade on stock exchanges like individual stocks. When investors buy an ETF, they buy a bundle of securities, including stocks, bonds, commodities, and even other funds, without buying any of the assets directly. The Canadian financial sector is heavily concentrated in the domestic market, and this allows for diversification. Canada is a pioneer in the ETF markets. The world’s first ETF was created in Canada in 1990. At this point, Canada has about $400 billion in ETF assets. Their value also grows at a double-digit rate. The major players in the Canadian market include BlackRock’s iShares, Vanguard, BMO Global Asset Management, and new companies such as Purpose Investments and Horizons ETFs. Crypto ETFs Crypto ETFS are a recent introduction in the world of tradable assets. These funds allow the owners to trade with cryptos without buying any of the coins themselves. Instead, the value of the ETF remains tied to the market value of the cryptos it contains. For a while now, crypto experts such as Cryptomaniaks have been writing about…

Bitcoin Risks Liquidation Cascade Amid Ethereum Rotation

Bitcoin Risks Liquidation Cascade Amid Ethereum Rotation

The post Bitcoin Risks Liquidation Cascade Amid Ethereum Rotation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BitcoinEthereum Bitcoin’s recent weakness could extend further, with leverage piling up and capital rotating into Ethereum, according to a new report from K33 Research. Vetle Lunde, K33’s Head of Research, highlighted that notional open interest in BTC perpetual futures has surged to a two-year high of over 310,000 BTC ($34 billion), with 41,600 BTC added in the past two months. A sharp weekend jump of 13,472 BTC pushed funding rates from 3% to nearly 11%, signaling aggressive long positioning despite stagnant price action. “These conditions resemble leverage build-ups in 2023 and 2024 that ended in brutal liquidation cascades,” Lunde wrote, warning that long squeezes could be imminent. He advised traders to remain cautious until excess leverage is flushed out. Ethereum Steals the Spotlight Adding pressure to Bitcoin is a “huge” rotation into Ethereum. A whale recently swapped 22,400 BTC for ETH on decentralized exchange Hyperunit, driving ETH to a record $4,956 and lifting the ETH/BTC ratio above 0.04 for the first time this year. The surge ended Ethereum’s 1,380-day drawdown and shifted momentum toward ETH, bolstered by ETF inflows and corporate treasury demand. Historically, Ethereum all-time highs have coincided with broader crypto cycle peaks — as in 2017 and 2021, when ETH breakouts were followed by altcoin rallies and Bitcoin stagnation. However, BTC dominance remains relatively high at 58.6%, compared to sub-40% levels during prior cycle tops, suggesting the market has yet to enter full “altcoin froth” mode. Market Signals Split Institutional flows show a cautious stance. CME traders have trimmed BTC exposure, and options markets have turned defensive, with longer-dated skews entering positive territory for the first time since 2023. ETH futures, by contrast, are trading at steep premiums and outperforming BTC as demand consolidates around Ethereum. The question now is whether this cycle repeats history — with ETH…

Top Crypto Presale 2025 | MAGACOIN FINANCE Poised to Outperform Ethereum & Dogecoin

Top Crypto Presale 2025 | MAGACOIN FINANCE Poised to Outperform Ethereum & Dogecoin

The post Top Crypto Presale 2025 | MAGACOIN FINANCE Poised to Outperform Ethereum & Dogecoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As 2025 unfolds, crypto investors are aggressively searching for the best crypto presale opportunities—projects with high upside, strong communities, and tokenomics that outperform the market’s heavyweights. While Ethereum, Cardano, and even Dogecoin are making headlines for institutional growth and protocol upgrades, one lesser-known project is quietly dominating early-stage investor interest. MAGACOIN FINANCE has emerged as the best crypto presale of 2025, with analysts forecasting a potential 8,500% ROI from its current presale price. MAGACOIN FINANCE is shaping up to be the next viral success—and potentially a serious competitor to long-standing giants like ETH, ADA, and DOGE. Ethereum: Strong Institutional Growth, But Slower Gains Ahead Ethereum remains the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and its position is secure thanks to massive institutional adoption. As of August 2025, Ethereum is trading near $4,200, reflecting a strong 41% surge over the past month. Despite recent price volatility and profit-taking, analysts from Standard Chartered expect ETH to reach $7,500 by year-end, while Fundstrat’s Tom Lee projects $15,000 by December. However, ETH’s large market cap and slower-moving price action mean it’s less likely to deliver exponential short-term gains. Cardano: ADA’s Institutional Entry Is Accelerating Cardano is entering a pivotal moment in its history, and many are considering it among the best crypto investment options for 2025. Now classified as a commodity under the U.S.Clarity Act, ADA is no longer held back by regulatory ambiguity. Grayscale’s pending ADA ETF is expected to be approved this year, and institutional custodians already manage over $1.2 billion worth of ADA. Whales have moved over 200 million ADA into private wallets in August alone, and daily on-chain activity remains robust at 2.6 million transactions. Cardano’s ecosystem is growing, with DeFi TVL nearing $349 million. Still, despite its strong fundamentals, ADA’s price remains tethered to $0.55–$0.80 levels, far below its previous…

Trump Family-Linked Crypto Miner American Bitcoin Eyes September Trading Debut: Report

Trump Family-Linked Crypto Miner American Bitcoin Eyes September Trading Debut: Report

American Bitcoin, the Bitcoin mining company backed by US President Donald Trump’s two sons, is preparing to begin trading on the Nasdaq in early September after finalizing a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. The company has secured both crypto-focused and traditional institutional investors for the all-stock deal, Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, which owns 80% cent of American Bitcoin, told Reuters in an interview. Anchor shareholders have already been lined up to support the debut. Once the merger is completed, American Bitcoin will retain its name and trade under the ticker ABTC. Trump Brothers and Hut 8 Retain Near-Total Control of American Bitcoin After Merger Co-founders Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr, together with Hut 8, will hold a combined 98% of the entity. Genoot told Reuters that the team opted for a merger rather than a direct listing. He said the route gave the company better access to financing by leveraging an existing business already connected to capital markets. American Bitcoin has been exploring acquisitions in Hong Kong and Japan to expand its footprint, the Financial Times reported earlier this month. Genoot confirmed that the company is actively assessing opportunities in Asia, with the aim of giving investors broader access to bitcoin-linked assets beyond the US. He said that while discussions are under way, no firm commitments have been made. The focus, he added, is to create options for investors who cannot directly buy Nasdaq-listed crypto stocks due to local restrictions. American Bitcoin Born From Hut 8’s Strategic Shift Into Infrastructure Founded earlier this year, American Bitcoin emerged from Hut 8’s pivot away from pure crypto mining into energy infrastructure and data centres. The new venture, created in partnership with the Trump brothers, is now positioning itself as a global bitcoin miner with ambitions to expand through acquisitions and partnerships. The strategy has been described as mirroring the approach of large US-listed bitcoin firms that use equity financing and mergers to accelerate growth. Genoot said the goal is to build a vehicle that can appeal to both institutional investors and retail traders looking for exposure to bitcoin through regulated exchanges

New Hedge Fund Falconedge To Devote Nearly 100% Of IPO Funds For A Bitcoin Treasury

New Hedge Fund Falconedge To Devote Nearly 100% Of IPO Funds For A Bitcoin Treasury

Falconedge, a newly established hedge fund advisory firm that emerged from Falcon Investment Management, has revealed a new strategy among publicly traded companies: to allocate nearly all of the proceeds from its upcoming initial public offering (IPO) to building a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury. Bitcoin-Focused IPO Strategy On Wednesday, the firm’s announcement disclosed that Falconedge’s leadership views Bitcoin not merely as a hedge against inflation but as a cornerstone asset for institutional treasury management. By emphasizing Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset, the firm aims to scale its cryptocurrency holdings significantly, thereby enhancing its balance sheet with BTC’s potential and institutional credibility.  Related Reading: Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Suffers Crash In Major Metric, Is SHIB Price At Risk? Roy Kashi, CEO of Falconedge, expressed enthusiasm about the firm’s launch in a press release statement. The executive said:  We’re proud to launch Falconedge as a next-generation platform that puts Bitcoin at the heart of institutional treasury strategy. This pre-IPO raise positions us to accelerate growth and deepen our impact in digital asset finance. Flaconedge would join a growing trend of public traded companies adopting similar investment options, mulling Strategy’s (MicroStrategy) approach with years accumulating Bitcoin and so far enjoying billionaire returns. Falconedge Completes Pre-IPO Fundraising The firm disclosed it has completed its pre-IPO fundraising and is gearing up for a public offering in September. Falconedge has indicated that the majority of the IPO proceeds will be allocated to Bitcoin accumulation, further solidifying Falconedge’s vision. Falconedge’s IPO is set to be one of the first to dedicate proceeds primarily to Bitcoin reserves, effectively positioning the firm as a hybrid entity that straddles the line between an advisory firm and a digital asset holding company.  USDT stablecoin issuer Circle has also been in the spotlight with its debut on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Its shares, traded under the ticker symbol CRCL, surged over 150% in the first days of its debut, highlighting the interest by investors in crypto-focused IPOs. Related Reading: Ethereum To $5,500 In Weeks, $12,000 By Year-End, Tom Lee Predicts Despite being newly formed, Falconedge benefits from the significant credibility and expertise inherited from Falcon Investment Management, a top player in United Kingdom-regulated crypto investing. The firm’s legacy includes launching one of the earliest regulated crypto funds in the UK in 2018, managing over $850 million in crypto assets at its peak, and successfully establishing a decentralized finance-focused fund that has performed well.  As of this writing, Bitcoin, the market’s leading cryptocurrency, is trading at $112,100 — nearly 10% below its record high of $124,000 earlier this month. This is in line with the broader correction in the market, which has seen digital asset prices retrace to key support levels. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Enterprise AI’s Breakthrough: Maisa AI Secures $25M to Conquer the 95% Failure Rate with Agentic Solutions

Enterprise AI’s Breakthrough: Maisa AI Secures $25M to Conquer the 95% Failure Rate with Agentic Solutions

BitcoinWorld Enterprise AI’s Breakthrough: Maisa AI Secures $25M to Conquer the 95% Failure Rate with Agentic Solutions In a world where digital innovation often promises boundless potential, from decentralized finance to cutting-edge artificial intelligence, the reality can sometimes fall short of expectations. Just as navigating the crypto markets requires a keen eye for reliability and verifiable outcomes, enterprises venturing into AI are encountering a stark challenge: a staggering 95% enterprise AI failure rate for generative AI pilots. This alarming statistic, revealed by MIT’s NANDA initiative, highlights a critical need for solutions that can deliver on AI’s promise without the pervasive issues of unreliability and opacity. Enter Maisa AI, a year-old startup that has just secured a significant $25 million seed round to revolutionize how businesses adopt and trust AI. Why is Enterprise AI Struggling with a 95% Failure Rate? The promise of generative AI to transform business operations has led to widespread experimentation, yet most companies find their pilot projects falling flat. The core issue lies in the nature of current AI systems, which often operate as ‘opaque black boxes.’ This lack of transparency makes it incredibly difficult for organizations to trust AI with critical tasks, leading to high rates of hallucinations and unpredictable outputs. As Maisa AI CEO David Villalón notes, the challenge isn’t just about generating responses, but about ensuring those responses are reliable and auditable. Imagine reviewing ‘three months of work done in five minutes’ and needing to verify its accuracy; the human effort required becomes unfeasible. This fundamental flaw in current enterprise AI deployments is what Maisa AI aims to address head-on, focusing on building systems that are not only intelligent but also accountable. Maisa AI’s Vision: Pioneering Accountable Agentic AI Rather than abandoning AI, the most forward-thinking organizations are now exploring agentic AI systems. These systems are designed to learn, adapt, and be supervised, moving beyond simple response generation to building robust, verifiable processes. Maisa AI’s approach, centered on ‘chain-of-work,’ uses AI to construct the execution process itself, ensuring a structured and auditable pathway to results. This is a significant departure from ‘vibe coding’ platforms, which primarily focus on using AI to build the responses directly. With its new $25 million seed round, Maisa AI has launched Maisa Studio, a model-agnostic, self-serve platform that empowers users to deploy digital workers trainable with natural language. This platform is built on the premise that true enterprise automation demands accountable AI agents, a critical differentiator in a market flooded with less reliable solutions. Beyond Rules: Unlocking Advanced AI Automation with Trust Maisa AI is redefining AI automation by focusing on trustworthiness and accountability. Its proprietary systems, HALP (Human-Augmented LLM Processing) and KPU (Knowledge Processing Unit), are at the heart of this innovation. HALP works like a student at a blackboard, engaging users to understand their needs while the digital workers meticulously outline each step of the process. This interactive method ensures human oversight and clarifies the AI’s intended actions. The KPU is a deterministic system specifically engineered to limit hallucinations, a common pitfall in generative AI. By prioritizing these technical challenges, Maisa AI has developed a solution that resonates deeply with companies needing to apply AI to critical, high-stakes tasks. Clients in sectors like banking, car manufacturing, and energy are already leveraging Maisa AI in production, showcasing its ability to unlock productivity gains without the rigid, predefined rules or extensive manual programming typically associated with traditional Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Furthermore, Maisa AI offers flexible deployment options, including secure cloud or on-premise solutions, catering to diverse enterprise needs. Fueling Growth: Maisa AI’s Strategic Funding and Expansion The $25 million seed round, led by European VC firm Creandum, underscores the market’s confidence in Maisa AI’s unique vision. This substantial investment follows a $5 million pre-seed round last December, which saw participation from San Francisco-based venture firms NFX and Village Global. Notably, U.S. firm Forgepoint Capital International also joined this new round via its European joint venture with Spanish bank Banco Santander, highlighting Maisa AI’s appeal for regulated sectors demanding high levels of security and compliance. With dual headquarters in Valencia and San Francisco, Maisa AI is strategically positioned for global expansion. The company plans to significantly grow its team from 35 to 65 people by the first quarter of 2026 to meet escalating demand. As CEO David Villalón observed regarding the ‘AI framework gold rush,’ a ‘quick start’ can quickly turn into a ‘long nightmare’ without reliability and auditability. Maisa AI aims to differentiate itself from competitors like CrewAI and other workflow automation products by focusing on complex use cases that demand accountability from non-technical users. The startup anticipates rapid growth as it begins serving its waiting list later this year, with Villalón confidently stating, ‘We are going to show the market that there is a company that is delivering what has been promised, and that it’s working.’ The Future of Enterprise AI: Trust and Accountability Maisa AI’s successful funding round and innovative approach mark a pivotal moment in the evolution of enterprise AI. By tackling the critical issue of the 95% AI failure rate with a commitment to accountable, agentic systems, Maisa AI is paving the way for a new era of trust and reliability in artificial intelligence. Their focus on ‘chain-of-work,’ human-augmented processing, and deterministic knowledge units ensures that digital workers can be deployed with confidence, even in the most sensitive and regulated environments. As businesses continue to seek transformative productivity gains, Maisa AI stands ready to deliver on the true promise of AI, ensuring that innovation is matched with verifiable results and unwavering accountability.
