Bitcoin spot ETFs have now recorded net outflows in 17 of the last 19 days, with investors pulling a combined $5.6 billion from the products during that stretch. Taking Stock Of The Damage The numbers have pushed year-to-date flows for US-traded Bitcoin ETFs into negative territory, landing at negative $2.17 billion. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart put the 13-day outflow streak in sharper relief, reporting that roughly $4.4 billion worth of Bitcoin was sold through those products over the past month alone.

The slide accelerated after Strategy, the business intelligence firm led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, disclosed it had sold 32 BTC for approximately $2.5 million — a small fraction of its total holdings, but enough to rattle sentiment across the broader market.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. - the world's biggest semiconductor-maker - is struggling to meet demands from American customers even with its factory buildout in the US, according to reports from Reuters and Bloomberg. "Customer demand is so high, and we can only support so much," TSMC CEO C.C. Wei said after a shareholder meeting on Thursday, Reuters reports. "We are doing our best to ensure TSMC does not become a bottleneck." The surge in AI use has already put constraints on the memory industry, with the widespread shortage of RAM and NAND Flash memory expected to last for years.

The market’s leading crypto, Bitcoin (BTC), is coming under fresh pressure as multiple warning signs converge—from heavy selling in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) complex to renewed doubt around Strategy’s long-held “never sell” narrative.  The result has been a weak session: on Wednesday, the cryptocurrency slipped below the key $66,000 level, extending a selloff that has already erased about $160 billion in overall market value this week, according to Bloomberg. $2.5M Bitcoin Sale Spooks Market Earlier in the week, Michael Saylor’s Strategy sold roughly $2.5 million worth of Bitcoin from a large holding currently valued at around $56 billion. Strategy reportedly reduced its hoard by only 32 tokens out of 843,706 coins.  Even so, analysts say the size of the sale matters less than the message it sends—especially at a time when Bitcoin has been underperforming over the past few weeks.

Anthropic's strategic IPO move with top underwriters signals strong market confidence, potentially reshaping AI industry valuations and dynamics. The post Anthropic taps Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs for IPO lead: Bloomberg appeared first on Crypto Briefing.

Bloomberg’s Joe Weisenthal has revived and expanded his argument that crypto is stuck in what he calls the “coldest crypto winter ever,” pointing to a 12-part case that goes beyond price action and into market psychology, capital rotation, regulation, AI and quantum computing. Writing in his Odd Lots newsletter and sharing the piece on X, Weisenthal said he had previously laid out 10 reasons in February for why the current downturn felt unusually punishing. “Well everything I cited then still holds,” he wrote, adding that two more factors have since made the backdrop look even worse. Crypto’s Problem Is No Longer Just Crypto The core of Weisenthal’s argument is that crypto’s weakness is taking place at a time when other speculative corners of the market are doing exceptionally well. That contrast matters. A bear market is one thing when risk assets are broadly under pressure; it is another when investors are watching adjacent trades explode higher.
