Questions readers ask

Why are Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs seeing outflows?

Investors are shifting to safety amid a risk‑off regime, pulling money from the largest crypto‑linked funds.

Higher on‑chain activity suggests traders are moving into Ethereum‑based DeFi despite broader market weakness.

Are micro‑cap rallies like Mantra and Oasys sustainable?

They reflect speculative bursts on low liquidity; without deeper fundamentals, upside may be limited.

How significant is Bitmine’s ETH accumulation?

Holding ~5% of total supply signals confidence from a major whale, but it contrasts with overall ETF outflows.
