1. Market Overview
This past week has been a mix of renewed investor confidence and lingering macro uncertainty. After weeks of outflows, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant rebound, recording their largest daily net inflows in six weeks. BlackRock’s IBIT led the surge, adding 2,660 BTC, a clear sign that institutional demand remains strong💪
Bitcoin’s price reflected this shifting sentiment, briefly spiking to a two-week high of $87,500 before stabilizing around $83,000-$84,000. To end the week, we again spiked toward $87,000 and printed a bullish weekly close👌
Despite some volatility, long-term holders have been accumulating aggressively—167,000 BTC added over the past month—pointing to growing conviction in the market’s next move.
On the regulatory front, the SEC clarified that Proof-of-Work mining rewards are not securities, a decision that removes uncertainty for Bitcoin miners and reinforces the legitimacy of PoW-based cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, President Trump doubled down on his pro-crypto stance, calling for the U.S. to become the “crypto capital of the world” during a speech at Blockwork's digital asset summit. Speculation over upcoming U.S. policy changes briefly fueled Bitcoin’s rally, but broader macro concerns—geopolitical tensions, tariff worries, and the Fed’s steady stance on rates—kept the market in check.
