Following this 70% nosedive from July 2025 to February 2026, the token now boasts what Santiment, that paragon of analytical wit, calls its “largest on-chain realized loss spike since 2022.” A veritable feast for the pessimists, one might think, though perhaps it’s merely a prelude to a grand masquerade of comebacks.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded solid inflows on Feb. 20, while Ethereum products drew little new capital. Data shows most demand remains concentrated in a few major issuers. At the same time, monthly trends indicate momentum has slowed since mid-2025. Flow patterns continue to favor Bitcoin over Ethereum in both scale and stability.
It appears the traders, bless their hearts, are undergoing a rather sharp reset in the derivatives markets, responding to macro and geopolitical pressures that are about as welcome as a cold cup of tea. Our dear analyst, Darkfost, had the audacity to point this out on X-how positively scandalous! Futures positioning is now showing a charming shift away from risk, particularly on Binance, as if they’ve all suddenly developed a fear of heights.
The CME Group, that venerable titan of derivatives, declared its intent to offer 24/7 crypto futures and options on May 29-a milestone as grand as a poet’s ode to the stars.

Michael Saylor, gentleman of mystic conviction, argues that Bitcoin is a soul stripped to two poles: either it dissolves into oblivion, or-like a phoenix reborn-it soars to a million dollars per coin.

He lifts a glass of institutional greed, swirling in a cocktail of fresh banks, shimmering ETFs, and corporate sums, and declares, with the pliant gravity of a professor: “As the markets find delivery systems, the future gathers weight.” He plays the future like a deck of cards, forcing centers to face a pile of anticipation.
Patrick Witt, the White House’s chief alchemist of digital assets, declared the meeting a “big step forward” on his enchanted scroll of social media. “We’re close,” he scribbled, “and if we keep this up, we’ll meet the deadline like a well-timed sneeze!”
Imagine, if you will, a confluence of bearish omens: a chart structure as foreboding as a storm cloud, supply clusters lurking like wolves below the price, and leverage risks rising like a crescendo in a tragic opera. Together, they paint a picture of a correction deeper than the musings of a brooding philosopher.
Standard and Poor’s gave the senior notes a BBB- investment-grade rating. This marks the first time a major global rating agency has looked at a digital asset lending portfolio and said, “Sure, why not?” Besides, the deal was 2x oversubscribed; it’s like a Black Friday sale, but for institutional investors!
The former chief executive, evidently undeterred by his circumstances, has boldly entered the fray to contest not only the assertions of the prosecutors but also the integrity of the bankruptcy process, the often sensationalist media coverage, and even the conduct of his own trial – a veritable trifecta of audacity!
