          Bitcoin ETF inflows fuel bets on a Q4 rally<\/h4>\n

          Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US have seen a staggering US$2.3 billion in inflows over the past week, a sign that institutional demand is surging just ahead of a critical Federal Reserve decision. <\/p>\n

          Traders widely expect the Fed to cut rates on September 17, a move that could boost risk assets across the board. <\/p>\n

          Analysts say Bitcoin, which has slipped nearly 8 percent since peaking at US$124,128 in August, may be poised for another leg higher if liquidity conditions ease. <\/p>\n

          \u201cWe\u2019re only halfway through what could be a very powerful Q4 rally,\u201d said Sean Dawson, head of research at Derive, who projects prices could reach US$140,000 by year-end. <\/p>\n

          Options data shows heavy positioning at US$140,000 to US$200,000 December calls, with some putting cycle tops as high as US$250,000 if flows persist.<\/p>\n

          France threatens to block EU crypto license \u201cpassporting\u201d<\/h4>\n

          France\u2019s financial regulator is raising the stakes in Europe\u2019s battle over crypto oversight, warning it could block firms licensed in other EU countries from operating domestically. <\/p>\n

          According to a Reuters exclusive, the Autorit\u00e9 des March\u00e9s Financiers (AMF) says some companies are \u201cshopping around\u201d for jurisdictions with looser standards under the bloc\u2019s new MiCA framework, then using those approvals to \u201cpassport\u201d their services across the EU. <\/p>\n

          Alongside Italy and Austria, France is pressing for the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to take charge of supervising major crypto players. <\/p>\n

          AMF chief Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani described the potential rejection of EU licences as an \u201catomic weapon\u201d that Paris could wield if it sees regulatory gaps. <\/p>\n

          Analysts are concerned that fragmented national approaches could undermine investor protection and financial stability. <\/p>\n

          Notably, exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini have already secured MiCA licences in Luxembourg and Malta, raising questions about uneven enforcement across the bloc.<\/p>\n

          Ethereum Foundation pivots to privacy-first roadmap<\/h4>\n

          The Ethereum Foundation has unveiled a new initiative to make privacy a default feature across the blockchain\u2019s ecosystem. <\/p>\n

          Rebranding its Privacy & Scaling Explorations team as the \u201cPrivacy Stewards of Ethereum,\u201d the foundation laid out plans for private transfers, confidential DeFi, and protected governance mechanisms within the next six months. <\/p>\n

          \u201cOur vision is to make privacy on Ethereum the norm rather than the exception,\u201d the group said in a statement, arguing that users and institutions would otherwise drift to centralized alternatives. <\/p>\n

          The roadmap also extends beyond transactions, with proposals to embed privacy in wallets, identity tools, and data portability. <\/p>\n

          Co-founder Vitalik Buterin has long championed stronger safeguards. His recent comments about risks from AI-driven data leakage have reinforced the urgency of integrating privacy at the protocol level.<\/p>\n
