According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin surged to a high of $81,300, resulting in weekly and 30-day cumulative increases of 5% and 21%, respectively. CryptoQuant data shows that, based on 30-day rolling data, long-term holders have net added 331,000 BTC, valued at approximately $2.67 billion at Tuesday's current market price. This accounts for nearly 1.6% of the total supply, indicating that accumulation has strengthened as prices rebound.Accompanying the rise in Bitcoin is a strong inflow of funds into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, with a total net inflow of $1.18 billion over the past three days. On Monday, the net inflow was $532 million, indicating increased institutional interest in BTC. MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe stated on X on Tuesday, "ETF inflows have returned to the market, and the market is turning upward towards Bitcoin." He added, "I expect more funds to flow in over the next few weeks, as there is currently high demand for ETFs."As previously reported, institutions are absorbing more than five times the daily newly mined BTC supply. The $84,000 region is a focal point for many traders, as this position coincides with the CME gap formed in early February. From a technical perspective, after the price broke above the upper boundary of $77,500, it has validated a bullish flag pattern on the daily chart. A daily closing price above the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $82,000 will confirm the continuation of the upward trend, with a target of the bullish flag's measured target of $94,800, at which point the overall increase will reach 18%.A chart shared by crypto investor Cryptocupra shows that after the weekly MACD produced a golden cross, the macro bottom for Bitcoin may have formed, paving the way for further upward movement.

According to The Crypto Times, the High Court of Himachal Pradesh, India, rejected Abhishek Sharma's bail application. Sharma is one of the key promoters of a large-scale cryptocurrency MLM scam, which is suspected of defrauding over 80,000 investors across India, with estimated losses reaching 500 million rupees and a total investment pool of about 2 billion rupees.The report states that the scam involved several fraudulent crypto platforms such as Korvio, Voscrow, DGT, Hypenext, and A-Global, with investors promised double returns. In the early stages of the project, small returns were paid to attract more participants, but all payments suddenly stopped on December 25, 2021. Subsequently, the promoters directed users to other platforms, ultimately failing to pay any returns.The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had previously conducted searches at eight locations in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, freezing approximately 12 million rupees in lockers and bank deposits. Investigators stated that the funds in the case were laundered through real estate developers, shell companies, and family bank accounts, with some senior individuals involved having fled to Dubai.

According to Cryptopolitan, a court in Barcelona is investigating six former Sevilla FC players for their alleged involvement in a fraud case related to the Shirtum crypto project.Newly submitted criminal complaints indicate that the project is accused of selling fake NFTs and manipulated tokens to investors, resulting in losses of over 24 million euros, approximately 28 million dollars. The players named in the complaint include Papu Gómez, Lucas Ocampos, Ivan Rakitić, Nico Pareja, Alberto Moreno, and Javier Saviola. Additionally, El Correo de Andalucía reports that Diego Perotti and Marcelo Guedes were also involved in promoting the project. Thirteen Spanish investors have filed a lawsuit with the Barcelona Investigative Court No. 5, claiming they lost all their funds.It is reported that Shirtum was promoted as a digital collectibles trading platform for football and sold "cinematic NFTs" containing player photos and recordings, priced at around 450 euros each. However, the complainants claim that these NFTs were never minted on any blockchain and cannot be transferred or resold. Furthermore, Shirtum's promoters previously obtained about 3 million euros in BNB from investors for the development of iOS and Android mobile applications, but the app was never launched, and the related funds were neither refunded nor accounted for.

Dragonfly partner Haseeb Qureshi stated that retail investors have significantly exited the current crypto market, and institutions are becoming the market bottom and supporting Bitcoin prices. He pointed out that Bitcoin is being viewed as a mature asset with sustained growth potential over the next 15 to 20 years, while altcoins need to have a clear narrative to attract retail attention again.He also mentioned that the core of the crypto industry still revolves around money and financial scenarios, with areas such as DeFi, stablecoins, exchanges, and RWA having strong user stickiness. With the involvement of AI technology, future agents may take on intermediary roles in trading, thereby enhancing overall adoption, and low-risk preference users may become the main source of incremental growth.

Coinbase and Glassnode's latest global investor survey shows that over 70% of cryptocurrency investors believe Bitcoin is currently undervalued, with 82% of institutional investors and 70% of non-institutional investors thinking the market is in the "late bear market" or "value retracement phase." The survey covered a total of 91 global investors, including 29 institutions and 62 non-institutional investors.The data indicates that about 75% of institutional investors and 61% of non-institutional investors believe BTC is undervalued, with only a few respondents thinking the price is overvalued. On-chain data also signals a tendency towards the bottom area. CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu's Bitcoin Combined Market Index (BCMI) recently rose from 0.26 to 0.37; this index combines MVRV, NUPL, SOPR, and market sentiment, and historically corresponds to a phase of deep undervaluation for Bitcoin. Additionally, the realized market cap ratio of short-term holders from 1 week to 1 month has dropped to 3.91%, close to the level when Bitcoin was around $27,000 in October 2023. Analysts believe this indicates a significant decline in market speculation activity, suggesting that Bitcoin may be entering a "value accumulation range."

This large donation has once again brought attention to the influence of crypto capital on UK politics.

Forbes published an article criticizing Eric Trump's Bitcoin business as a disaster, pointing out that Eric Trump promotes his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin (ABTC) as a money printer, but in reality, it is just an arbitrage tool designed to exploit investors who support MAGA (Make America Great Again). American Bitcoin was established in 2025 and quickly went public on NASDAQ, leveraging the Trump family brand and the Bitcoin craze to push its valuation to $13.2 billion.Eric Trump vigorously promoted the company as the "leader in the Bitcoin world" during the earnings call, but the actual company has only a few full-time employees and mainly relies on story marketing rather than solid operations. The company continuously sells overvalued stock to buy Bitcoin, while Eric has almost no investment, yet has increased his personal wealth from about $190 million to $280 million, with other insiders also profiting significantly.Meanwhile, ordinary investors, especially MAGA supporters, have suffered heavy losses. Over the past eight months, American Bitcoin's stock has dropped about 92% from its peak, resulting in cumulative losses of about $500 million for investors. Forbes questions the actual profitability of American Bitcoin's Bitcoin mining business, believing that its advertised "half-price mining" is difficult to achieve and is more about using the Trump brand for high-priced stock dumping.

According to Jinshi reports, Goldman Sachs analysts pointed out that investors' risk appetite has rebounded to pre-Iran war levels. With bets that the worst-case scenario of a U.S.-Iran war will not occur, stock market volatility has significantly decreased.

In the four weeks ending last Wednesday, investors withdrew nearly $125 billion from safe-haven money market funds, marking one of the largest outflows on record.

The newly appointed chief economist of New Fire Group, Fu Peng, stated on Twitter that the underlying business model of Bitcoin perpetual contracts is essentially the same as the "rollover fee/overnight fee" in traditional finance's gold and industrial commodity spot exchanges.Fu Peng pointed out that back in the day, gold exchanges settled through daily forced liquidation, with longs and shorts paying each other rollover fees. When retail investors held a large number of high-leverage long positions, the rollover fee became the most stable and hidden source of income for the platform. Nowadays, Bitcoin spot platforms mainly rely on perpetual contracts, with both sides settling the funding rate every 8 hours. When longs dominate, retail investors holding long positions continuously pay funding rates to shorts.Although the platform does not directly collect this fee, it significantly enhances trading activity, open interest, and liquidity, indirectly generating a large amount of fee income and forming a stable and substantial cash flow. Essentially, it is a business model where large players/institutions "collect rent" from long-term holdings, retail investors pay for leverage to go long, and the platform indirectly takes a cut.

According to Jin Shi reports, the U.S. stock market fell on Thursday amid volatile trading, as hopes for a quick resolution to the Iran conflict gradually faded. Analyst Jay Hatfield stated that investors are struggling to digest mixed earnings reports, and concerns about the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence on the software industry have resurfaced. He pointed out that the market had previously risen significantly, and some investors are looking to reduce their positions, using the war as an excuse is not necessarily a bad thing.
