According to Josh Stevens, Engineering Vice President at Polymarket, $164,000 of the $573,200 stolen due to a compromised private key has been frozen through collaboration among ZachXBT, Bitcoin Vietnam, and ChangeNOW. Josh previously stated that this incident did not involve an exploit of Polymarket or the UMA contract, user funds remain secure, and Polymarket.com remains fully operational. The issue originated from a six-year-old private key that was leaked; this key existed within an internal supplementary funding configuration, resulting in the unauthorized transfer of funds to the associated address.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), BlackRock deposited 1,587 BTC—worth approximately $122.55 million—and 17,815 ETH—worth approximately $37.79 million—into Coinbase, for a total value of approximately $160.34 million.
According to GreeksLive, today 21,000 BTC options expire, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.66, maximum pain at $78,500, and notional value of $1.6 billion; 129,000 ETH options expire, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.92, maximum pain at $2,200, and notional value of $280 million. This week, BTC concluded a one-and-a-half-month rally amid muted market conditions; expiring BTC and ETH options each account for only ~5% of total open interest. BTC’s maximum pain level lies close to the current spot price, implying relatively strong gamma/pin risk; ETH’s expiry volume is half that of last week, and its current spot price sits below maximum pain—short-term implied volatility (IV) is highly likely to decline post-expiry. IV across all major maturities declined broadly: BTC IV fell below 35%, ETH IV fell below 50%, and the Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) rose slightly. On the large-trade front, whales concentrated positions in bearish put spreads (5,000-lot 75K/71K puts expiring end-May), totaling nearly $200 million in notional value. Overall, volatility expectations remain low, and market activity falls short of expectations.

According to data from Trader T (@thepfund), yesterday’s Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of $100.81 million. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for an outflow of $103.64 million—the largest outflow among all ETFs that day. Ark’s ARKB saw a net inflow of $2.83 million. Fidelity’s FBTC, Bitwise’s BITB, Morgan Stanley’s MSBT, Invesco’s BTCO, Franklin’s EZBC, Valkyrie’s BRRR, VanEck’s HODL, WisdomTree’s BTCW, Grayscale’s GBTC, and Grayscale’s Mini BTC all registered zero net flows for the day.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), two newly created wallets received a total of 1,309 BTC (approximately $101.6 million) from Galaxy Digital and FalconX. One of these wallets currently holds 1,583.6 BTC across two addresses—valued at approximately $124.4 million—indicating clear whale accumulation behavior.
analysts from CryptoQuant have pointed out that, based on a comprehensive review of multiple miner indicators, Bitcoin miners have not yet exhibited behavioral characteristics that "confirm a market bottom," and are currently in a phase of waiting and cautious adjustment. Meanwhile, the Miner Position Index (MPI) remains in negative territory, indicating that current selling intensity is below historical averages. Miners are not in a panic-selling phase but are engaging in "passive selling" primarily to maintain cash flow, suggesting that the probability of an extreme short-term decline is relatively limited. Additionally, the Puell Multiple remains below 1, further indicating that miner revenues are at historically weak levels, and overall profitability is under pressure. However, the strong accumulation behavior typically seen at cycle bottoms has not yet appeared.The analysis suggests that miners are currently in a "waiting phase," having neither triggered a capitulation-style sell-off nor entered an active accumulation cycle. This resembles a typical transitional state before a market bottom forms. Overall, while selling pressure from miners has eased, on-chain structures still show short-term supply pressure exists. Bitcoin is expected to continue its range-bound consolidation pattern, and market sentiment is likely to remain cautious in the near term.
Odaily reports, according to Lookonchain monitoring, "1011 Insider Whale" representative Garrett Jin has just deposited 30 million USDC into Hyperliquid.
According to Lookonchain monitoring, US Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of 942 BTC today, valued at $72.66 million, with a 7-day net outflow of 15,915 BTC, valued at $1.23 billion; Ethereum ETFs saw a single-day net outflow of 15,222 ETH, valued at $32.44 million, with a 7-day net outflow of 114,871 ETH, valued at $244.79 million; Solana ETFs recorded a single-day net inflow of 8,312 SOL, valued at $723,000, with a 7-day net inflow of 203,326 SOL, valued at $17.69 million.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ai Yi, the 1011 whale, which experienced $230 million in liquidations, has deposited another 9 million USDC into Hyperliquid. Since yesterday, cumulative deposits have reached $19.01 million:1. Placed a buy order for HYPE: Plans to purchase $1.15 million worth of HYPE within the [$49.725 - $52.36] range (currently holds $2.48 million in spot).2.

Odaily Bitcoin fell below $78,000 on Thursday, with growing concerns over the sustainability of any rebound. Data shows that Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net outflows for four consecutive trading days, while approximately $584 million in long liquidations earlier this week continues to suppress market risk appetite. Analysts suggest that until on-chain spot demand recovers, BTC will still struggle to firmly hold above $80,000 in the short term.The pressure on the Ethereum market is even more pronounced. The ETH spot ETF saw net outflows of $28.1 million on the day, marking eight consecutive trading days of withdrawals. Since May 7, ETH ETFs have seen cumulative outflows of approximately $504 million over nine trading days, the most severe sustained capital exodus since February this year.In the derivatives market, total crypto futures liquidation volume reached approximately $657 million this Monday, with long liquidations accounting for $584 million, the largest single-day long squeeze event since early February. The current Bitcoin open interest has fallen about 14% from its May 6 peak, but the overall leverage structure has not yet been fully reset.On-chain data also leans bearish. Glassnode indicates that Bitcoin's previous rebound to $82,000 briefly reclaimed the key level of $78,300, the "realized market average," but has since fallen back below it. Historical cycles suggest that BTC typically needs to consolidate in this range for weeks to months to confirm a structural shift between bull and bear markets.Additionally, Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin's spot CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) has been negative for nine consecutive trading days, marking the longest net selling cycle since 2026. Meanwhile, BTC's hourly spot trading volume has declined about 40% compared to the same period in 2025. Analysis indicates that U.S. investors have been consistently distributing their holdings since Q4 2025, while Asian capital has shifted to accumulation.The options market is also signaling caution. The BTC short-term 25-delta skew has risen from 2.7% to 6.2%, indicating a significant increase in market demand for downside protection. A large gamma short position of approximately $2.5 billion is concentrated around the $75,000 strike price. Should BTC fall back to this area, hedging by market makers could further amplify volatility.In the altcoin market, the sector is largely following BTC, with Bitcoin's dominance remaining around 60%. However, Hyperliquid and Zcash have bucked the trend with double-digit gains, suggesting selective rotation by some capital. (The Block)

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has declined approximately 40% from its all-time high in October 2025, yet long-term valuation models indicate substantial upside potential remains. Based on the “Bitcoin Decay Channel” measurement of long-term trends, Bitcoin’s conservative year-end price range has been revised upward to $90,000–$255,000, with the high-end scenario reaching as high as $255,000. This model fits a logarithmic decay trend to historical cycle highs and lows, showing that BTC prices at the peaks of the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles all approached the upper channel boundary, while bear market bottoms fell near the lower boundary. Analyst Sminston stated that Bitcoin remains within a historic, long-term upward channel and noted that the price range for 2027 could further expand to $128,000–$308,000.
crypto research firm K33 stated that although Bitcoin has retested its 200-day moving average around $82,000 this month and subsequently fallen by about 6%, the low near $60,000 in February this year may still represent the maximum drawdown of this cycle. K33 Research Head Vetle Lunde pointed out that unlike the bear market rallies in 2014, 2018, and 2022, this market experienced a slow recovery lasting 189 days after breaking below the 200-day moving average. Furthermore, market leverage and risk appetite have not been quickly rebuilt. Therefore, the current trend resembles a moderate correction rather than a precursor to another sharp decline.K33 also noted that institutional fund flows still reflect a defensive sentiment. The latest 13F filings show that institutional investors reduced their holdings by a total of approximately 26,733 BTC in the first quarter, while retail investors increased their holdings by about 19,395 BTC. Neutral strategy institutions like Jane Street and Millennium accounted for most of this reduction. Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs recently recorded the ninth-largest five-day capital outflow since the launch of U.S. spot ETFs. K33 believes this typically occurs when BTC is near the cost basis of ETF holdings, reflecting investors' tendency to cut losses or reduce risk exposure after experiencing significant drawdowns.
