AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBitcoin ETF Pressure: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a record 13 straight days of outflows, bleeding about $4.37B since May 15 and dragging total assets down to ~$82.8B, with BlackRock’s IBIT taking roughly $3.3B of the hit. Macro Shock: A hotter-than-expected May jobs report (172K jobs; unemployment 4.3%) pushed traders to reprice Fed cuts, sending BTC back toward ~$61K and triggering broader risk-off selling. Liquidations: The selloff cascaded into major derivatives deleveraging, with about $1.28B wiped from crypto positions in a day, mostly from longs. Asia Demand Twist: South Korea saw BTC trade at its deepest discount since 2021, with local pricing running ~3% below global levels even as volumes stayed active. Corporate Crypto Angle: Strategy’s first BTC sale since 2022 and the ongoing “never-sell” debate kept corporate headlines tied to market moves, while SpaceX IPO chatter failed to show clear stablecoin outflow signs. Ethereum Weakness: ETH slid toward ~$1,500 as ETF outflows and liquidation pressure intensified, and Tether briefly flipped ahead of ETH by market cap.
