Bitcoin Nears $75,000 Amid Record ETF Inflows

Bitcoin's price is approaching $75,000, bolstered by a surge in ETF inflows and easing geopolitical tensions. Since February 28, Bitcoin has climbed approximately 13%, outperforming the S&P 500 and gold. The options market reflects reduced demand for downside protection, with the 25-Delta Skew improving from -10% to -4.5%. CoinShares reported $1.1 billion in net inflows into crypto investment products last week, marking the strongest weekly inflow this year. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs contributed $786 million to these inflows, highlighting growing institutional interest. Analysts emphasize that continued ETF inflows and institutional demand are pivotal to Bitcoin's price trajectory, though inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and geopolitical factors remain influential.

Bitget's TradFi Trading Volume Reaches One-Third of Total in Q1

Bitget's first-quarter transparency report reveals that non-crypto trading now accounts for one-third of the platform's total trading volume, peaking at 40%. This significant growth comes just one quarter after Bitget launched its TradFi services in January. Despite Bitget's strong presence in the crypto market, where it holds a 9.5% share according to CoinGlass, its new TradFi business has quickly reached half the volume of its crypto operations. The rapid expansion of TradFi trading highlights a broader trend among centralized exchanges (CEXs) to diversify into traditional financial services. Bitget's success is attributed to its UEX strategy, introduced in the fourth quarter of last year, which capitalizes on the growing market preference for cross-market asset trading. This strategic move has allowed Bitget to capture a significant portion of the market's incremental growth.
