This steady drip of ETF outflow continues to add to the supply side without a visible demand offset, said Glassnode. Bitcoin is sliding into a high-risk environment due to continued institutional selling, primarily from US spot exchange-traded funds, according to crypto analytics platform Swissblock. Swissblock said on Tuesday that its Bitcoin risk index was at a high risk score of 33 out of 100, adding that “every time the Risk Index signals that selling pressure is structurally overwhelming the market, what sits underneath is institutional distribution.” The platform’s proprietary risk index was developed to gauge the overall risk level in the Bitcoin market by measuring the relative balance between selling pressure and buying pressure, helping to assess how “risky” it currently is to buy or hold Bitcoin.

Bitcoin reclaimed $77,000 despite rising exchange supply and spot BTC ETF outflows. Will bulls push BTC to $80,000 this week? Bitcoin (BTC) needs fresh spot demand to absorb the rising BTC supply across exchanges and exchange-traded funds. Recent exchange inflows and ETF outflows created nearly 34,000 BTC in local selling pressure, while derivatives data showed the latest recovery was driven mostly by short covering. Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. said BTC exchange and exchange-traded fund (ETF) activity continue to show a local supply imbalance despite the latest recovery. The weekly exchange netflows climbed by roughly 18,000 BTC, indicating more coins were added to exchanges than were withdrawn. Higher BTC inflows increase the near-term selling supply. Read more -

Bitcoin’s weekend bounce shows strong demand at lower levels, but holding $78,000 may remain a challenge for the bulls. Key points: Bitcoin (BTC) bounced on Saturday following US President Donald Trump’s announcement in a post on his Truth Social platform that negotiations between the US and Iran were “proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner.” Buyers extended the recovery on Monday and are attempting to sustain above $77,500. The uncertainty of the past few days has resulted in $1.55 billion in net outflows from the US BTC exchange-traded funds. Crypto sentiment platform Santiment said in a report on Friday that sharp outflows from BTC ETFs indicate retail capitulation, which has “historically correlated with conditions favorable for patient accumulation” for long-term holders rather than panic.

The crypto-aligned Protect Progress PAC reported spending another $750,000 on media for a Democratic candidate over Representative Al Green, whom it described as “actively hostile” to digital assets.

A third-party module drained about $3 million from Safe wallets, with Squid attributing the incident to an external Safe module, saying its core systems were unaffected. A suspected third-party Safe module exploit has drained about $3.2 million from wallets across Ethereum and Base, with multiple teams pointing to an external module as the cause. Blockchain security platform Blockaid reported the incident on Monday, saying it involved a contract labeled “SquidRouterModule,” which initially led to confusion over a possible link to the cross-chain protocol Squid. Squid later said on X that the issue was unrelated to its core protocol and instead involved a third-party module integrated into Safe wallets. Read more -

Digital asset treasuries (DATs) and the broader practice of building corporate Bitcoin reserves became hugely popular in 2024 and 2025, thanks in large part to the success of Strategy, whose "flywheel" many tried to replicate. However, this model cuts both ways. On one hand, it lets companies raise capital on a wave of market optimism. On the other, it forces them to absorb the volatility of the underlying asset when prices fall. For a public company, the situation is even more complicated. Accounting obligations mean financial losses quickly become public, and any asset movements against that backdrop attract intense scrutiny. The recent discussion around Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) shows exactly that. Amid paper losses on its crypto strategy, the company moved 2,650 BTC to Crypto.com, having previously withdrawn applications to launch its own cryptocurrency ETFs. Read more -
