Digital asset investment products saw a net inflow of $1.1 billion last week, marking the second consecutive week of inflows and the largest weekly total since January, CoinShares reported in its weekly fund flow report. Bitcoin attracted $870 million in net inflows, while Ethereum saw $190 million. CoinShares attributed the trend to a recovery in risk-on sentiment, driven by a ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran and a lower-than-expected U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading. However, the firm noted that demand for downside hedging also persists, as short Bitcoin products saw inflows of $20.2 million, the largest amount since November 2024.

Every time Bitcoin surpasses the $70,000 mark, it is met with over $20 million in hourly profit-taking, which has stifled its upward momentum, CoinDesk reported, citing data from Glassnode. Glassnode explained that the $70,000 to $80,000 range has functioned as a distribution zone since February, where existing holders have been using price rallies as an opportunity to exit rather than new buyers entering the market. This has created a market dynamic where any attempt to push past $70,000 is immediately met with excessive selling pressure. CoinDesk added that Bitcoin's upward trend will likely be dictated more by investor psychology than technical indicators until this hourly selling pressure of around $20 million subsides.

According to data from CoinGlass, short positions worth $159.87 million will be liquidated across major centralized exchanges if BTC breaks above $72,034. Conversely, a drop below $70,000 would trigger the liquidation of $160.25 million in long positions.

Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun has again criticized the centralized structure of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project linked to the Trump family, amid threats of legal action from the project. In a post on X, Sun called on WLFI to disclose the identities of the entity operating its 3/5 multisig wallet and the single guardian Externally Owned Account (EOA) that controls its smart contract. He stated that on-chain records show the single guardian EOA, which is part of the multisig, was responsible for blacklisting his wallet. Sun explained that this single address has the unilateral authority to freeze assets, whereas seizing assets requires a multisig vote. He argued that this structure renders the project's decentralized governance a mere formality, concentrating real power in a single anonymous account. Sun concluded that such a concentration of authority is unjustifiable for a project that claims to advocate for decentralization and financial freedom.
