The crypto washout extended to ETFs on Monday, with Bitcoin ETFs seeing a $363 million outflow while Ethereum ETFs saw an exit of $76 million.
On the intraday price action, Bitcoin tested a 13-day low of $112.2k with short-term holder cost basis now at $111.4k.
Exchange BTC balances down ~31,265 BTC over four weeks; wallets holding 10–10k BTC have added 56,372 BTC since Aug. 27. This shows that whales continue to accumulate the dip.
If $112k holds over the next day, buying in tranches to lower cost basis remains a constructive path; sustained trade below $111.4k risks a structural shift.
Two insider-linked incidents dating back to February 2025 exposed support data from roughly 2,000 accounts. The exchange says no breach occurred and funds were never at risk.
Crypto markets recovered Monday as Iran nuclear talks progress and the Strait of Hormuz blockade remains without escalation. BTC approaches $74,000, but elevated equity correlation and fragile technicals keep the risk-reward unclear.
The HKMA handed its first approvals to the banks that already print the Hong Kong dollar. That tells you everything about what these tokens are meant to be.
Geopolitical pressure from the Strait of Hormuz standoff continues to weigh on BTC, which has failed to sustain gains above $72,500 even as whale selling dries up and leveraged shorts accumulate.
