CEX Inflows and ETF Outflows

  • Bitcoin struggles due to reduced institutional interest and increased inflows into centralized crypto exchanges.
  • Centralized exchanges saw a net inflow of 5,026 BTC in the last 24 hours and 9,891 BTC over the past week.
  • US-based spot BTC ETFs recorded a net outflow of $1.22 billion over three days.
  • Negative momentum is partly due to US macroeconomic uncertainties, including tariff threats from President Donald Trump towards EU countries.
