Bitcoin is traded at $63,970 with the rise it has skilled in current hours.
Some perspective on the “it is so over” ETF flows these days:
1. Completely regular for ETF class to chill off after breathtaking tempo like this, esp w/ value down 12% in previous 5 days (extra on that in a minute)
2. It is microscopic. Over previous 5 days the ten’s internet flows are -$223m,… https://t.co/Yd56QxYWMs— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) April 18, 2024
