💰 Hong Kong’s spot ETFs experience decline in bitcoin inflows on second trading day
The three spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in Hong Kong saw inflows of 174.73 BTC ($10.3 million) on the second trading day yesterday, compared to an inflow of 3,910 BTC ($240 million) on the first trading day. The trading volume stood at over $9.7 million on both days, according to SoSoValue data. The caveat with the inflow data is that ETF shares bought via in-kind subscriptions of physical Bitcoin do not generate cash inflows denominated in dollar terms, so they are not included in daily net inflow statistics, SoSoValue clarified.

💰 URPD metric indicates a lack of liquidity for Bitcoin below $60,000
Bitcoin experienced a 4% rally on April 18, bouncing back from just below $60,000 on April 17. CryptoSlate has identified $58.8k as a major support level — which is the short-term holder realized price (STH RP) that has previously acted as support during bull runs. If Bitcoin drops below the support level, it could signal a bearish trend, similar to the breach of STH RP in May 2021 that kicked off the bear market.
