Bitcoin ETF Inflows vs DeFi Token Rallies: AVNT, MYX, and IP

[Dhray]

Markets are moving in two directions at once. Bitcoin ETFs pulled in more than $1.1B in the first week of September as institutions rotated into BTC, with Fidelity and Ark Invest leading inflows. At the same time, DeFi tokens have been surging: AVNT jumped nearly 94% in 4 hours on BingX, MYX gained over 100% in 24h at $17.5, and IP rallied 30% near its ATH at $11.5.

AVNT is particularly notable as it powers Avantis, a Base-layer derivatives exchange offering synthetic leverage up to 500× across multiple asset classes. While BTC gains stability through institutional adoption, DeFi continues to capture speculative interest.

Where do you think the stronger upside lies in institutional-backed Bitcoin or fast-moving DeFi tokens?
