Bitcoin ETF Buyers Return as $80,000 Level Tests Market Rally

The investors who helped propel Bitcoin into its Wall Street era are showing signs of coming back, offering a crucial test of whether its latest rally can turn into something bigger.

About $3.5 billion poured into US-listed Bitcoin ETFs in August, the biggest monthly inflow in more than a year, even as the token struggles to hold around $80,000.

Kraken parent Payward delays IPO to second quarter of 2027 at earliest

Payward, the parent company of American crypto exchange Kraken, has delayed its widely anticipated initial public offering until next year, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The Wyoming-based company is not planning to go public until the second quarter of 2027 at the earliest, one of the people said, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the matter is private.

The delay extends an already lengthy wait for one of the crypto industry's most closely watched public-market debuts.

CoinDesk reported in March that Payward had put its multibillion-dollar IPO plans on hold as difficult market conditions weighed on crypto prices, trading volumes and valuations. At the time, sources said the company remained interested in going public but was unlikely to proceed until conditions improved.
