Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced net outflows of $195 million yesterday, with none of the 12 funds recording net inflows.

Meanwhile, the IMF warns that stablecoins could weaken monetary sovereignty, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies.
Elsewhere, the Aster team announced the burning of $80 million worth of buyback funds, while Base launched a cross-chain bridge to Solana, enabling bidirectional asset transfer. In other developments, a UK hacker was reportedly arrested in Dubai in connection with the theft of $243 million from Genesis creditors in 2024.

In China, police announced the discovery of $1.9 million in unclaimed USDT, while the CEO of BlackRock warned that Bitcoin is a "flight to quality" asset favored by investors in times of uncertainty.
