TOP STORY

Bitcoin ETFs See $616M Inflows — So Why Is BTC Stuck Below $70,000?

Bitcoin ETFs just posted back-to-back inflows totaling $616 million — the first consecutive buying in a month — yet total holdings dropped only 6% despite a 50% crash from $126,000 highs.

That's institutional conviction: ETF holders maintained 94% of their Bitcoin through a brutal drawdown.

But the technical picture is precarious.

BTC is testing the 200 EMA at $68,000 — the last major moving average support. A weekly close below opens the trapdoor to $60,000.

Polymarket, Kaito AI Launch ‘Attention Markets’ That Let Traders Bet On Social Hype

Polymarket is betting on attention itself.

The prediction market just launched "Attention Markets" in partnership with Kaito AI, letting traders speculate on social media mindshare rather than binary outcomes.

Instead of betting if something happens, traders can now price how much the internet cares about it — using real-time data from X, TikTok, and YouTube.

The first contracts are already live, with dozens more planned for March spanning AI, entertainment, and world events.
