2h ago7:27

7:27

Bitcoin’s stagnation might be partly due to a sharp decline in demand since April, according to data from CryptoQuant. A large part of this comes from the US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, which were gobbling up sats at an absurd pace after they launched on Jan. 11 but have since slowed their BTC purchases — and that might be a good thing. Elsewhere, Bin…

7:38

Bitcoin’s price behavior is “unusual,” according to recent data on open interest, which is rising despite the price falling.

Bitcoin’s strong recovery last week led some to believe it may have established itself above the $60,000 psychological level, but the weekend’s action put that to bed.
