US spot Bitcoin ETFs have logged six consecutive weeks of net inflows, reaching a cumulative $59.34 billion as of May 8. The latest week added $622.75 million, with daily moves ranging from a $532.21 million inflow on Monday to a $277.5 million outflow on Thursday.

Capital B said in a Monday press release that it raised €15.2 million ($17.9 million), with Blockstream CEO Adam Back among the strategic investors. The company plans to use about €14.4 million in net proceeds to purchase an additional 182 BTC, which would lift its holdings to 3,125 BTC if completed. Capital B also disclosed it issued ABSAs at €0.66 and expects the issuance to occur no earlier than May 13, 2026.

A CryptoQuant analyst says Bitcoin has not confirmed a bottom and needs to reclaim and hold $88,880 rather than briefly tagging it. The analysis highlights resistance from three groups of underwater holders at 88,880, $93,450, and $111,850. BTC traded at $80,207 at 11:30 UTC on Friday, after moving between $79,286 and $81,158 over the prior 24 hours.

As of Tuesday morning, March 31 (UTC), the crypto market remained cautious, with total market cap near $2.38 trillion and 24-hour trading volume at $95.5 billion. Bitcoin hovered around $67,235 while Ethereum edged up to about $2,050, as traders weighed mixed ETF flows, options-expiry aftereffects, and several event risks including NFP on April 3 and an FTX payout dated March 31.

At 14:00 UTC, Bitcoin traded at $69,313, down 7.9% on the day, as commentators described a capitulation phase and a transition from distribution to a multi‑month reset. Analysts highlighted key levels near $70,000, the mid‑$70,000s, and $78,000–$80,000, with downside risk toward $55,700–$58,200 amid thin liquidity and risk‑off flows.

On February 5, 2026, the global crypto market value declined 6.4% to $2.49 trillion, with trading volume climbing to $216 billion. Bitcoin slid about 7% to $70,884 and Ethereum fell 1.7% to $2,281, while 92 of the top 100 coins traded lower and sentiment hit its weakest level in two months. Analysts describe the move as a capitulation phase marked by heavy selling from long‑time holders and sizable outflows from US spot BTC and ETH ETFs.

Sygnum Bank has completed the seed phase of its Starboard Sygnum BTC Alpha Fund, raising over 750 BTC from professional and institutional investors in the first four months. The market-neutral arbitrage strategy targets yield in Bitcoin while preserving long-term BTC price exposure and delivered an annualised 8.9% net return in BTC in Q4 2025. The fund, launched in October 2025, offers monthly liquidity, institutional-grade infrastructure, and access to collateralised USD Lombard Loans for select clients.

Bitcoin briefly dropped under $90,000 before recovering toward $89,582 in Thursday afternoon UTC trading, after touching an intraday low near $87,300 and a short-lived high around $90,295. Analysts argue that the delayed US CLARITY Act, shifting institutional use of BTC and a sharp liquidity shock in Japanese government bonds, which pushed long-dated JGB and US Treasury yields higher, are now key forces shaping Bitcoin's price and its role as a non-sovereign asset.
