🔥 Last week, the total net inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs surpassed $3 billion — massive numbers comparable to the Bitcoin ETF buying frenzy after Trump's election victory! 🇺🇸📈
Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $157 million over the same period. ETH interest is growing, but BTC remains the clear favorite among institutional investors! 🚀

👟 Nike Faces $5M Lawsuit Over RTFKT NFT Shutdown 💥
Nike is in hot water! A class action lawsuit has been filed after the company shut down its NFT platform, RTFKT, causing its Nike-themed NFTs to lose significant value. 😱
Buyers of these NFTs are accusing Nike of a "rug pull" and selling unregistered securities. The lawsuit claims Nike hyped the NFTs using its brand and marketing power, only for the platform to close, leaving investors with worthless assets. 📉
RTFKT, which Nike acquired in 2021, announced in December that it would wind down by January. The plaintiffs argue they never would’ve bought the NFTs had they known the platform was shutting down.
The lawsuit is seeking over $5 million in damages, citing violations of consumer protection laws. ⚖️
Looks like Nike's NFT game just kicked a penalty! 🏟

📈 Standard Chartered: Bitcoin's Headed to the Moon 🌕 in Q2!
Big banks are bullish! Standard Chartered says Bitcoin could hit $120,000 this quarter and skyrocket to $200,000 by end of 2025. 🚀
Why? 👀
▪️ Smart money fleeing U.S. assets
▪️ Whales stacking sats 🐋
▪️ Massive inflows into Bitcoin ETFs 💰
With U.S. markets wobbling, inflation heating up, and ETF capital shifting from gold to BTC, investors are saying: "In Bitcoin We Trust." 🔥
Geoffrey Kendrick from the bank says the breakout is “imminent,” and past patterns suggest when BTC moves—it moves fast. ⚡️
Hold onto your wallets. The bull might be back in town. 🐂

👀 Bitcoin Nearing the “Danger Zone”?
Historically, when over 90% of BTC holders are in profit, market euphoria kicks in — often right before major corrections.
Right now, 86.8% of coins are in profit — creeping closer to that emotional peak. 📈
Reminder: the last ATH at $109K came when FOMO buyers rushed in... even after ignoring BTC at $90K.
Caution: Euphoria may be closer than it looks. 😬

▪️BTC/ETH ratio dropped to mid-2020 levels (0.13)
▪️Record 13.6M active ETH addresses (+74% in a week)

📉 Over Half of Tokens Launched Since 2021 Are Dead — CoinGecko
According to CoinGecko, out of nearly 7 million tokens listed on GeckoTerminal since 2021, more than 3.6 million are now inactive — that's 52.7% of all tokens with at least one trade.
🪦 The peak of “token deaths” came in 2024 and Q1 2025, with 1.8M dead tokens in just 3 months — nearly half of all failed projects over the past 5 years.
💥 The surge is linked to market instability post-Trump’s inauguration and tools like pump(.)fun, which made launching memecoins almost effortless.
🔍 Many of these were low-effort projects that never saw serious trading. In short: the easier it became to launch tokens, the easier they died.

🚀 Arthur Hayes: “Bitcoin to Hit $1M by 2028”
At Token2049 in Dubai, Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes repeated his ultra-bullish call — $1,000,000 BTC by 2028.
💬 “It’s time to go long everything,” said Hayes, citing expected U.S. money printing and rising liquidity as key drivers.
He compared today’s market fears (Trump tariffs, Fed inaction) to Q3 2022 — just before a massive $2.5T liquidity injection. Hayes believes a similar wave is coming, this time fueled by hedge funds buying U.S. debt. 💵
Bottom line: More dollars = more demand for hard assets like Bitcoin.

⚡️ How much does it cost to mine 1 BTC around the world?
🌍 Big gap in electricity costs! In Ethiopia, mining 1 BTC would cost just $2,000 — but only if they had enough hashpower. Cuba and Sudan follow closely with costs under $4,000.
🇺🇸 Meanwhile, the U.S. — home to the largest share of global mining — sees costs skyrocket to $107,000 per BTC.
📉 That’s why the Bitcoin price likely won’t stay below current levels for long: unprofitable miners will simply shut down their rigs.🧐
