Since the election, inflation data has become a key market catalyst. As a result, investors now closely watch for any signs of a shift in risk appetite based on these readings. U.S. inflation has experienced a sharp deceleration, with the rate dropping from 3% at the start of 2025 to a mere 1.45%, significantly below the Federal Reserve’s 2% target In essence, cooling demand month-on-month paves the way for liquidity injections, which could prime risk assets for capital inflows. In line with this sentiment shift, institutional whales are positioning long. Notably, a large player entered a $136 million Bitcoin position with 40x leverage. this sizable leveraged bet signals strategic positioning in anticipation of a risk-on rally $BTC

Grayscale GBTC generated more annual revenues than all other U.S. spot BTC ETFs combined However, GBTC’s $BTC has dropped about 70% since its ETF conversion in January 2024. Before the debut, GBTC held about 619,000 BTC. Sixteen months later, the GBTC’s holdings dropped to 191,000 BTC, a nearly 70% decline in assets under management (AUM). As shown by Geraci’s data, GBTC charged the highest fees of 1.5% while the rest of the products had an average cost of 0.15%-0.94%. Yet GBTC dominated the overall annual revenue. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, GBTC’s 1.5% fee was considered average in the traditional ETF market. However, other analysts pointed out that most investors were captured in GBTC due to the heavy tax implications of switching to a cheaper alternative. Daniel Sempere, a business coach, stated, “Paying the capital gains to switch out of GBTC is more painful than paying the extra fees, I guess.” Simply put, the high fees and captive tax implications boosted GBTC earnings. However, can the expected approval of in-kind redemption for ETFs affect GBTC’s moat? According to experts, in-kind redemption, using BTC instead of cash, would lower the tax burden, especially for large investors. Despite in-kind redemption being tax-efficient, individual investors sitting on massive unrealized gains will still face capital gains tax. That said, GBTC ranked third on the AUM front with $17.8 billion. The BlackRock iShares BTC ETF topped the AUM list with $54.8 billion, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC at $18 billion. After the slump in Q1 2025, the spot BTC ETFs saw renewed demand in April, with a whopping $3 billion in inflows. This boosted BTC’s recovery to $94k, up 26% from the year’s low of $74.5k. In the short term, the $92K range low support and $100K overhead mid-range resistance were key levels to watch.

Whales are accumulating On-chain data reveals a significant $ETH Ethereum whale transaction, involving the OTC purchase of 30,000 ETH ($54 million) through Wintermute. The deal was executed via two USDC transfers totaling over $110 million, routed to Wintermute’s OTC wallet. Shortly after, the whale wallet received the full crypto assets. While the broader market remains cautious, this move underscores growing conviction among high-net-worth investors. Such quiet accumulation, though not always headline-worthy, often precedes major price action. What insight might this whale have that the rest of the market lacks? Whale holdings remain steady Supporting this narrative, broader Ethereum whale activity has remained relatively stable over the past week. Data from Santiment shows that the number of wallets holding between 1,000 and 100,000 ETH has largely held its ground, even as ETH prices climbed from the $1.5K range to around $1.7K. Meanwhile, whale transaction counts have risen sharply since April 21st, coinciding with ETH’s breakout. This steady base of whale holders, combined with a recent uptick in large transactions, hints at growing institutional confidence rather than speculation.
