Odaily News, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas stated on the X platform that the pure memory chip exchange-traded fund DRAM (Roundhill Memory ETF, launched by Roundhill) has seen its assets under management (AUM) surpass $6.5 billion just 36 days after its launch, setting a new all-time record for ETFs and exceeding the previous record of 43 days held by BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT.Eric Balchunas noted that DRAM surged 13% in a single day last Friday while attracting approximately $1 billion in inflows, a key driver behind its rapid asset expansion.

the latest Bitfinex Alpha report indicates that as May began, BTC successfully navigated through the dense sell-off zone between $78,000 and $79,000, briefly approaching $83,000. This rally is primarily driven by spot demand, rather than leveraged funds. Since May 8, the spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) has risen significantly, showing that buyers are continuously taking the initiative to absorb market supply. ETF inflows and public market accumulation are the main drivers, while long-term holders have now accumulated close to 4 million BTC, the largest increase since the pandemic crash in 2020, suggesting that circulating market supply is being further locked up. The market currently estimates the probability of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged in June at approximately 94%. Against the backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty, institutional capital continues to deploy into the crypto market.

He noted that such products are groundbreaking and, once approved, will set an important regulatory precedent for prediction market ETFs, so it is understandable that the SEC wants to dedicate more time to review them.

Marex analysts point out that if Bitcoin manages a daily close above $82,000 accompanied by stable spot buying, it could initiate a new upward trend.In the altcoin space, SUI rose 12% in 24 hours to $1.26.

According to QCP analysis, this week features a dense schedule of macroeconomic events, with market attention focused on three key themes: First, President Trump and President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet in Beijing this week, with discussions expected to cover tariffs, the rare-earth supply chain, and the Middle East situation; markets are watching closely to see whether substantive progress can be achieved on trade. Second, April’s CPI, PPI, and retail sales data will be released sequentially; if inflation stabilizes, real yields may decline—historically providing support for the crypto market—whereas the opposite would reinforce expectations of monetary tightening. Third, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold hearings on the CLARITY Act; legislative progress could further catalyze institutional capital inflows. Currently, despite ETF outflows last week, BTC has held the $80,000 level, while crypto volatility remains near its lowest point of the year, with the VIX at approximately 18. In the short term, BTC is highly likely to remain range-bound, with $84,000 serving as a key resistance level.

According to 10x Research analysis, Bitcoin’s total gamma exposure has remained negative since mid-January and currently stands at -$3.2 billion at the $82,000 strike price. In a negative gamma environment, market makers are forced to trade in the direction of price movement—buying aggressively on rallies and selling aggressively on declines—thereby amplifying price volatility. As options expire en masse on May 29 and June 26, the negative gamma drag is expected to gradually dissipate, easing Bitcoin’s downward bias. Currently, demand for call options has clearly outstripped that for put options, and institutions anticipate market sentiment will shift from bearish to bullish around those expiration dates.
