Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced net outflows of $195 million yesterday, with none of the 12 funds recording net inflows. This comes as sources indicate the Bank of Japan is leaning towards raising interest rates at its December meeting, a move that could push interest rates to their highest levels since 1995. 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. Following a service disruption, Cloudflare announced that repairs have been completed and results are being monitored. 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.
Finally, Morgan Stanley analysts believe that MicroStrategy's ability to hold out and avoid forced Bitcoin sales is key to Bitcoin's short-term trajectory.
