💰 Bitcoin ETFs break trend recording modest inflows as GBTC continues outflow
According to data from BitMEX, the Bitcoin (BTC) ETF market experienced its first day of net inflows since March 15, collecting a modest $15.7 million, or 221.2 Bitcoin. This event paused five consecutive days of net outflows and represented the second-smallest day of inflows recorded. Despite this positive shift, the larger narrative remained overshadowed by the substantial outflows from GBTC, which amounted to $350.1 million or 4,933.7 BTC. Consequently, GBTC’s cumulative outflows have reached $14,150.6 billion, equivalent to 275,059 BTC.

💰 Bitcoin (BTC) Price Recovers But Danger Still Looms: QCP Capital
Bitcoin’s setback below $61,000 triggered a market-wide correction. Despite the inflow of fresh capital, the leading crypto asset registered 15% in weekly losses at one point after hitting new all-time highs earlier this month. QCP Capital’s analysis suggests that the Bitcoin bull market is far from over while simultaneously highlighting a continued liquidity rotation, which is likely to propel the asset to new highs post-halving. Having said that, a “violent” near-term correction due to lingering leverage might transpire.
