Bitcoin is trading near $73,130, down 1.07%, as U.S. spot BTC ETFs log $2.97 billion in outflows across the last 10 trading sessions — the longest outflow streak ever recorded. Ethereum slipped to $1,987, off 2.01%, with total crypto market cap sitting at $2.56 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 29, firmly in Fear territory.
Macro headwinds are compounding the pressure. Rising oil prices and stalled ceasefire negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are weighing on broader risk sentiment, pulling institutional appetite further from crypto. A single massive $1.26 billion sale of BlackRock's IBIT was flagged as a likely rapid exit by a large investor — a move that likely contributed to the outflow figures.
BTC dominance holds at 57.3%, suggesting altcoins are absorbing proportionally heavier losses, with the Altcoin Index at 38/100. On the macro-regulatory front, the U.S. Treasury confirmed it has seized nearly $1 billion in Iranian crypto assets, adding a geopolitical dimension to an already risk-off environment.
