FAQ: Market Dynamics Explained
Q: Why did Bitcoin ETFs see reduced inflows?
A: While maintaining positive flows, the smaller scale suggests institutional investors may be awaiting clearer macroeconomic signals from Fed policy and inflation data.
Q: What's impacting Ethereum's performance?
A: Combination of ETF outflow pressure, failed technical breakouts, and relative weakness against BTC indicates shifting capital allocation strategies.
Q: How significant are upcoming token unlocks?
A: Large supply injections (particularly SOON's 22% and Blast's 35% unlocks) often create sell pressure, though market impact depends on absorption capacity.
Q: What drove Circle's stock surge?
A: Regulatory clarity via the GENIUS Act reduces systemic uncertainty for stablecoin issuers, boosting confidence in USDC's compliance position.
