According to the Central Bank of Russia’s “Financial Stability Review,” Russian private investors currently hold approximately 3.8 billion rubles in cryptocurrency-linked financial instruments—a figure nearly unchanged from 3.7 billion rubles six months earlier—indicating stagnation in market interest growth. Of this amount, 1.7 billion rubles flowed into crypto-linked corporate bonds; 5,600 investors collectively held cryptocurrency futures positions worth 1.7 billion rubles; and roughly 3,800 investors allocated 354 million rubles to digital financial assets pegged to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Major issuers include large banks such as Sber and VTB. Meanwhile, the Moscow Exchange has progressively launched Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, along with related ETFs, and will introduce Solana, Ripple, and TRON futures in May 2026.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), BTC spot ETFs have recorded net outflows for 11 consecutive trading days, totaling $3.452 billion; during this period, the BTC price fell from $81,710 to $70,111—a decline of 14.2%. Meanwhile, ETH spot ETFs have seen net outflows for 15 consecutive trading days, totaling $757 million; during this period, the ETH price dropped from $2,412 to $1,956—a decline of 18.9%.
According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, Bitcoin is down 16% year-to-date and is entering its historically seasonally weak June window—over the past decade, June’s average return has been just +0.7%. However, this year’s May rally significantly underperformed the historical average, raising the probability of a seasonal reversal. Meanwhile, several catalysts are set to materialize soon, including U.S.-regulated crypto perpetual futures products and Nasdaq CME Crypto Index Futures (scheduled for launch on June 8). If these bring new buying support, Bitcoin could stage a short-term rebound.
Odaily Odaily News According to Onchain Lens monitoring, HYPE has hit a new all-time high and broken above $72. Loracle (@loraclexyz) has closed over 50% of their HYPE short position, still holding 843,232 HYPE short positions, worth $60.7 million, with floating losses exceeding $22 million. Meanwhile, a whale holds a 5x leveraged long position on HYPE, with floating profits currently exceeding $46 million.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net capital outflows for nine consecutive trading days, totaling approximately $2.84 billion. This marks the longest consecutive losing streak since the product's launch in 2024, surpassing the previous record set on February 8, 2025. BlackRock's IBIT was the primary source of these outflows.Analysts indicate that this round of capital outflows reflects a notable cooling in institutional demand for Bitcoin ETF exposure. Meanwhile, the market is showing signs of divergence: Hyperliquid-related ETFs and certain XRP spot ETFs continue to record capital inflows. In contrast, spot Ethereum ETFs have also faced capital outflows for 13 consecutive days, with cumulative outflows reaching approximately $694 million. This suggests that capital within crypto asset ETFs is undergoing a reallocation. (Cointelegraph)
Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant, stated that the accumulation of Bitcoin holdings by whales and dolphins has stalled, reflecting persistently weak new demand and indicating that the current market structure resembles the bearish phase of 2022. According to the report, the year-on-year contraction rate of balances held by whales (those holding 1,000–10,000 BTC) is the fastest this year; while balances held by dolphins (those holding 100–1,000 BTC) remain year-on-year positive, they have fallen significantly below trend. Meanwhile, long-term holder supply has risen to 15.8 million BTC, whereas short-term holder supply has declined from 6.4 million BTC in December 2025 to approximately 4.2 million BTC.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the whale Evaded (@ICanPlug) has opened a new 25x-leveraged short position on 12,600 ETH and continues holding a 30x-leveraged short position on BTC; its current unrealized profit exceeds $1.6 million. Meanwhile, Machi’s (@machibigbrother) 25x-leveraged long position on ETH has again suffered partial liquidation; it remains open but is now down over $33.39 million, nearing its next liquidation threshold.
Wintermute stated that, as of May 25, BTC was trading at approximately $76,600 (down 1.5% weekly), while ETH traded at around $2,140 (down 1.7% weekly). Meanwhile, the U.S. equity market’s S&P 500 Index hit a new all-time high during the same period—highlighting a pronounced divergence between crypto and equities. BTC spot ETFs saw outflows of roughly $1.26 billion for the week, bringing cumulative outflows over two weeks to over $2 billion. Institutional buying—previously instrumental in driving BTC from $70,000 to $80,000—has clearly receded. The ETH/BTC ratio hit a fresh 10-month low, down 35% cumulatively from its August peak. On the macro front, the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index plunged to a historic low of 44.8, while the one-year inflation expectation rose to 4.8%. NVIDIA reported Q1 revenue growth of 85% year-on-year and issued a Q2 revenue guidance of $91 billion—but saw virtually no after-hours reaction, suggesting AI-related trades are already fully priced in. Wintermute noted that BTC’s key support currently lies between $75,000 and $76,000; holding this range could enable a retest of $80,000, whereas a break below would rapidly open the $70,000–$72,000 zone. The near-term direction hinges on whether institutional capital returns to the market.

Hyperliquid has recently significantly outperformed the broader market. Its token, HYPE, hit an all-time high following the launch of two related ETFs in the United States. Meanwhile, European traders are accelerating their migration to the platform due to restricted access to perpetual contracts on regulated exchanges. Market analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that with Hyperliquid's continued rally and renewed interest in AI-related crypto projects, signs of improving risk appetite are emerging in the altcoin market. Hyperliquid’s expansion into tokenized stocks, commodities, and pre-IPO assets is strengthening the on-chain asset tokenization trend. He suggested that if market sentiment continues to improve, HYPE’s price could target $100 or even higher.However, Michael van de Poppe also stressed that while Hyperliquid holds a short-term advantage, Solana offers greater long-term investment certainty, transitioning from a "speculative ecosystem" to institutional-grade infrastructure. In the AI track, he noted that NEAR Protocol and Bittensor remain significantly undervalued, citing a disconnect between their fundamental growth and valuations. He pointed out that NEAR’s revenue growth potential and Bittensor’s subnet expansion could support higher valuation ranges. Additionally, he indicated that the privacy sector retains long-term demand, but fully anonymous systems face regulatory pressure. The future is more likely to be dominated by zero-knowledge proofs and compliant privacy solutions.On the macro level, Michael van de Poppe highlighted that bond yields and central bank policies remain the core drivers of the crypto market, with changes in Japanese government bond yields potentially serving as a key barometer.

analysts suggest the rising yields on U.S. Treasury bonds and other major global economies' sovereign bonds are weakening the market's willingness to allocate to high-risk, non-yielding assets like Bitcoin. Meanwhile, amid tensions related to Iran, concerns over potential supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are growing, prompting some speculative capital to flow into commodity markets such as crude oil, copper, and sulfur.Market数据显示，Bitcoin has dropped over 3% in the past 24 hours, falling approximately 10% from its recent high of around $82,500 on May 6. During this market downturn, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to experience capital outflows. U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of approximately $1.26 billion this week, marking the largest single-week capital outflow since January. The previous week also saw outflows close to $1 billion, with cumulative net outflows over the two weeks exceeding $2.26 billion.Additionally, there are emerging views that capital might be shifting towards trades related to SpaceX's potential IPO. Currently, trading volume for some blockchain-based derivatives in the pre-IPO market for SpaceX has reached millions of dollars. (CoinDesk)
Santiment released its weekly market summary, noting that Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows on 9 of the past 10 trading days, with Bitcoin’s current price around $77,500; it interprets this as a sign of weakening retail investor confidence. Meanwhile, Ethereum market sentiment has fallen to its lowest level since 2023, though its number of non-zero addresses stands at 192.92 million—more than three times Bitcoin’s approximately 59 million. Santiment also pointed out that the current Bitcoin bullish-to-bearish commentary ratio has risen to 2.23, the highest level within 2026; historically, such elevated sentiment often precedes short-term pullbacks.
According to Hyperinsight monitoring data, Hyperliquid’s cross-chain bridge has seen a significant increase in capital inflows. As of yesterday (approximately 10 hours ago) UTC time, USDC bridged into Hyperliquid over the past 24 hours exceeded $268 million—its highest level since February 7. Net inflows surpassed $173 million, reaching the highest level in nearly 10 months (since August 22 last year). On the same day, the total value locked (TVL) across Hyperliquid’s cross-chain bridges reached $4.02 billion. At press time, Hyperliquid’s trading volume over the past 24 hours stood at $7.84 billion, with open interest totaling $9.6 billion. Meanwhile, trade.xyz recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $2.59 billion and open interest of $2.49 billion during the same period.
According to monitoring by crypto analyst Ai Yi @ai_9684xtpa, the "1011 whale who once suffered a $230 million liquidation" currently holds $2.49 million worth of HYPE spot, with an additional approximately $407,000 HYPE buy order pending.Furthermore, this address also holds $39.21 million worth of BTC long positions, and has opened a $1.26 million 3x leveraged ZEC short position. Meanwhile, it has placed approximately $1.22 million in ZEC limit sell orders in the price range of $653.58 to $661.4.
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 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)
