[Redator]

On August 11, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs saw a huge surge in demand, with total net inflows hitting $1.019 billion. BlackRock’s ETHA led the charge, pulling in $640 million on its own. Spot Bitcoin ETFs also posted strong numbers, with $178 million in net inflows, of which BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for $138 million. Despite the ETF strength, the broader crypto market eased back yesterday as Bitcoin’s price retraced to around $118K, leaving several sectors in the red. Investors are now asking what’s the best altcoin to buy in this environment.

Best Altcoin To Buy? PUMP Is Finally Reversing After Weeks Of Downside

(PUMPUSDT)

One surprising candidate making headlines is PUMP. Yes, it’s finally living up to its name. After weeks of underperformance, the token is staging a comeback. While the price remains below its presale level, it’s up more than 60% from its all-time low of $0.0022, now trading around $0.0036. The move has caught traders’ attention, especially as fundamentals are improving.

The platform has hit a $500 million annual revenue run rate this week, with 100% of that revenue being used to buy back PUMP from the market. That aggressive buyback strategy, combined with the current $3.5 billion fully diluted valuation, is adding fuel to the recovery narrative.

With Ethereum ETF inflows signaling renewed institutional appetite for crypto, and Bitcoin ETFs also attracting steady capital, some traders see room for high-beta plays like PUMP to outperform if the market turns back up.

Atkins posted on X, endorsing Peirce’s view, saying the conclusion of this case allows the SEC to redirect its efforts from litigation to policy-making. The shift marks a potential turning point in the agency’s approach to crypto regulation, signaling a move toward clearer rules for the digital asset industry.
