Bitcoin risk index accelerates with increasing ETF outflows. Source: Swissblock Related: $1.26B Bitcoin ETF outflows spark ‘contrarian’ buy signal: Santiment On-chain analytics provider Glassnode reported on Monday that US Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net outflows on nearly every trading day since May 7, showing “a persistent institutional sell signal now running for more than two weeks.” “This steady drip of outflow continues to add to the supply side without a visible demand offset,” it said. Jeff Ko, chief analyst at CoinEx, told Cointelegraph on Tuesday that the broader crypto market “remains in a holding pattern.” “Spot ETF flows have posted more than $2 billion in outflows over the past two weeks, highlighting that institutional risk appetite is still sensitive at the margin,” he added. Risk was accelerated even further on Tuesday morning amid multiple reports that the US had launched fresh strikes on Iran despite the two countries recently making progress on a peace deal. US Central Command said the strikes targeting Iranian missile sites and boats attempting to place mines were in “self-defense” and were to protect US troops from threats posed by Iranian forces. Bitcoin reacted with a 1% decline, falling from over $77,000 to just below $76,500 on Coinbase, according to TradingView, but it has remained range-bound for almost four months. Ko said that “despite Washington’s latest ‘self-defence’ operation, the very short-term market reaction may still lean risk-on, particularly as investors appear to be looking through the geopolitical noise and focusing on the possibility of a US-Iran peace deal.” Magazine: Polymarket seeks Japan entry, Harvard dumps entire ETH position: Hodler’s Digest More on the subject
