: Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, posted on X that Bitcoin ETF flows have turned positive across the board, stating “all rolling periods we track are now positive,” a first in several months. Among them, BlackRock’s IBIT has seen cumulative inflows of approximately $3 billion, placing it in the top 1% of all ETF flow performance.However, Eric Balchunas noted that returning to the all-time high cumulative net flows of $62.8 billion would still require tens of billions of dollars in additional inflows. Nonetheless, this at least indicates a clear rebound in sentiment towards Bitcoin ETFs and a recovery in market demand.
According to Cointelegraph, Flying Tulip—a decentralized finance platform founded by Andre Cronje—has implemented a withdrawal circuit breaker mechanism. This mechanism delays or queues withdrawals during abnormal capital outflows, thereby limiting potential losses and buying time for the team to investigate. The mechanism operates differently across products: for the Perpetual PUT product, withdrawals may be reverted, requiring users to retry later; for ftUSD, withdrawals are queued and can be claimed after a delay. Flying Tulip states that this mechanism follows a “fail-open” design—meaning transactions continue to execute even if the safety mechanism fails.
Garrett Jin, agent of “1011 Insider Whale,” published an analysis pointing out that the current market is pricing in “peace expectations,” driving sustained gains in risk assets—but this is markedly diverging from the actual supply-demand dynamics in the energy market. Data shows the S&P 500 has hit a new all-time high, while Brent crude oil has rebounded to approximately $103 per barrel. Earlier in March, hedge funds aggressively shorted the market; Goldman Sachs data indicated a short-to-long ratio peaking at 7.6:1—the fastest net selling pace in 13 years. Yet the core assumptions underpinning the market rally—resumption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, falling oil prices, declining inflation, and Federal Reserve rate cuts—remain unfulfilled. The gap between forward earnings expectations and actual earnings has surged to levels last seen at the 2021 peak; historically, similar gaps have preceded bear markets, such as the 2022 downturn.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), a whale address that had been inactive for 1.6 years has purchased 3,000 ETH at a price of $2,333 per ETH, totaling approximately $7 million. The wallet currently still holds 3 million USDC and may continue accumulating ETH.
According to a Reuters report, Nobitex—the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Iran—has processed at least approximately $2.3 billion in funds via the Tron and BNB Smart Chain networks since 2023. Some of these funds originated from the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), which is under U.S. sanctions, and are linked to other sanctioned entities, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hamas, and Hezbollah. Data from blockchain analytics firms Arkham and Elliptic, along with insights from multiple analysts, indicate that related transactions on Tron alone exceeded $2 billion, while those on BNB Smart Chain totaled approximately $317 million; tens of millions of dollars continued flowing even after hostilities erupted. The report notes that Tron was founded by Justin Sun, and BNB Smart Chain was launched by Binance; both blockchains intersect financially and governance-wise with World Liberty Financial—a crypto project led by Donald Trump. Since its founding in 2018, Nobitex’s sanctioned-related transactions have cumulatively amounted to at least approximately $366 million.
According to DL News, CoinMarketCap data shows that the meme coin sector rose nearly 20% over the past month, with its total market capitalization climbing to $34 billion—still down approximately 75% from its peak of nearly $140 billion in December 2024. Analysts say this rally is primarily driven by improved risk appetite, heightened on-chain speculation, and sharp gains among a few top-tier tokens—factors that may not fully reflect the sector’s overall health. Dogecoin remains the highest-market-cap and highest-trading-volume meme coin, yet it is down 87% from its 2021 all-time high. Additionally, the SEC and CFTC recently proposed a five-category token classification framework that classifies meme coins as collectibles; Canary Capital has also filed an application with the SEC for a Pepe ETF.

According to other sources familiar with the matter, these shareholders have also demanded a change in management; currently, Satsuma’s CEO Henry Elder and CFO Andrew Smith have resigned.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai_9684xtpa), the address 0x65B…5Ce93 has purchased a total of 7,447.7 ETH on-chain over the past six hours, spending approximately $17.52 million, with an average cost of about $2,353 per ETH. The position currently shows an unrealized profit of approximately $24,000.
According to on-chain analyst Murphy (@Murphychen888), BTC’s price has risen to around $79,000. The open interest (OI) in the futures market has rebounded to its recent high of 472,000 BTC, indicating continued leverage accumulation. During yesterday’s peak period, short positions paid funding fees to longs at an average rate of $604,000 per hour—lower than the April 17 peak ($790,000) but still significantly above the 7-day average ($197,000). Murphy notes that elevated OI combined with deepening negative basis creates conditions where a price rebound could trigger forced liquidations or margin calls among shorts, generating strong buying pressure and sparking a short squeeze. Historically, similar conditions preceded rebounds on March 9 and April 13; currently, opening new short positions offers unattractive risk-reward odds.
According to on-chain analytics platform Nansen (@nansen_ai), whales and public figures’ wallets have continued accumulating $HYPE over the past 24 hours, while exchange supply dropped by 22.86% during the same period.
