U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs ended a five-day inflow streak on Thursday, logging $277.5 million in net outflows as Bitcoin dropped below the $80,000 level amid sharp intraday volatility. The reversal marks the first day of outflows in May and snaps a run that had accumulated nearly $1.7 billion in net inflows since late April. What you need to know Bitcoin ETFs recorded $277.5 million in outflows on Thursday — the first negative flow day in May — ending a five-consecutive-day inflow streak totaling $1.7 billion. Fidelity's FBTC led outflows at $129 million, followed by BlackRock's IBIT at $98 million. Morgan Stanley's MSBT has now gone its entire existence without a single day of outflows since launching on April 8. Bitcoin fell from above $82,000 on Wednesday to below $80,000 on Thursday, pushing the Crypto Fear and Greed Index back into "Fear" territory at 38. Bitcoin ETF flows: who sold and who held According to SoSoValue data, Thursday's $277.5 million in outflows were concentrated at the two largest funds. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) led the retreat with $129 million in outflows, while BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) followed with $98 million leaving the fund. Together, the two market leaders accounted for the vast majority of the day's negative flows. Two funds bucked the trend. The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) recorded modest inflows, as did the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT) with $7.3 million — continuing what has become a remarkable unbroken inflow streak for the newest major entrant in the space. Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF: no outflows since launch The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF has not recorded a single day of outflows since its debut on April 8, 2026 — making it the standout performer during Thursday's broader retreat. MSBT has accumulated 2,920 BTC since launch, worth approximately $232.6 million at current prices, representing a 557% increase in assets under management since its first trading day. The fund's resilience is notable given that Morgan Stanley's MSBT was the first spot Bitcoin ETF launched by a U.S. bank — a milestone that appeared to attract a loyal and sticky investor base from the institutional and wealth management channels the bank serves. What triggered the outflow reversal: BTC's sharp drop The catalyst for the ETF flow reversal was a steep intraday correction in Bitcoin itself. BTC climbed above $82,000 on Wednesday — its highest level since late January — before retreating sharply and falling below the psychologically significant $80,000 level on Thursday. The move caught leveraged and short-term traders off-guard and appears to have prompted profit-taking among some ETF holders who had been riding the week's earlier gains. Canton Network ETF debuts on Nasdaq Thursday also saw the Nasdaq debut of the 21Shares Canton Network ETF (TCAN), the first U.S.-listed ETF designed to offer direct exposure to Canton Coin, the native utility token of the Canton Network. TCAN closed its opening session at $24.66, slightly below its initial price of $24.76, according to Nasdaq data. Canton Coin itself slipped 1.7% on the day to $0.145, reflecting the broader cautious tone across crypto markets. Fear and Greed Index slips back into fear The day's negative price action pushed the Crypto Fear and Greed Index to 38 on Friday, returning the sentiment gauge to "Fear" territory after it had briefly recovered to "Neutral" the previous session. Despite the pullback, the index remains substantially above its April average of 17 — a period when Bitcoin was trading roughly 11% lower than current levels. The reading suggests that while short-term sentiment has softened, the medium-term shift in market mood since April's lows remains largely intact. What to watch next The key question for Bitcoin ETF flows in the coming days is whether Thursday's outflows represent a one-day correction or the start of a more sustained reversal. The five-day inflow streak that preceded it — totaling $1.7 billion — reflected genuine institutional demand. But with Bitcoin now back below $80,000 and the Fear and Greed Index retreating, the near-term trajectory of both price and flows will depend heavily on whether BTC can reclaim and hold the $80,000 level as support.

The MegaETH Foundation has announced the official launch of its MEGA token buyback program. According to ChainCatcher, the foundation has completed its first buyback using the total net profits generated by the USDm issuer as of the end of April. The foundation clarified that USDm is not issued or operated by MegaETH Foundation or MegaLabs. The current supply of USDm is approximately $480 million. Future MEGA buybacks will aim to be executed through a programmatic mechanism, operating automatically based on preset rules rather than being manually timed by the foundation. The funds available for each buyback will vary, influenced by changes in the USDm supply and the yield of underlying reserve assets.

The U.S. labor market delivered a stronger-than-expected performance in April, adding 115,000 jobs and nearly doubling economist forecasts of 62,000 — a result that steadied markets and kept Bitcoin above the $80,000 level as traders assessed the implications for Federal Reserve policy. What you need to know The April jobs report beat expectations by a wide margin, with 115,000 nonfarm payrolls added versus the 62,000 forecast. Bitcoin traded at $80,200 in the minutes following the release, roughly flat over 24 hours. The report arrives as the Senate prepares to confirm Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chairman, replacing Jerome Powell later this month. Jobs report breakdown: stronger than expected, but cooling from March The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the April employment data on Friday, showing the economy added 115,000 jobs during the month — well above the consensus forecast of 62,000. However, the figure marks a step down from March's revised total of 185,000 (originally reported as 178,000), suggesting the labor market remains resilient but is gradually moderating. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, in line with analyst expectations. How markets reacted: Bitcoin steady, stocks and bonds move Bitcoin was trading at $80,200 in the immediate aftermath of the release, holding roughly flat over the prior 24 hours. Risk appetite was visible across other asset classes: U.S. stock index futures extended earlier gains, with the Nasdaq 100 rising 0.9%. The 10-year Treasury yield slipped 2 basis points to 4.37%, reflecting modest demand for safe-haven bonds even as the jobs data came in strong. Why the jobs report matters for Fed policy right now The April employment data lands at an unusually sensitive moment for U.S. monetary policy. Last week, the Federal Reserve held its benchmark fed funds rate unchanged at 3.50%–3.75% — a decision that extended the Fed's holding pattern as policymakers balance slowing economic growth against inflation that has proven stubborn. The central bank is also in the middle of a leadership transition. Kevin Warsh is expected to be confirmed by the Senate as the new Federal Reserve chairman later this month, taking over from Jerome Powell. Markets will be watching closely for any early signals about how Warsh intends to approach the rate path, particularly if incoming data — like today's jobs report — continues to complicate the inflation versus growth trade-off. Oil prices and inflation remain a wildcard Adding to the complexity, energy markets remain unsettled. Oil prices have pulled back from recent highs but remain elevated, with ongoing uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz keeping traders on edge. Persistently high crude prices carry a dual risk for the economy: they can feed directly into headline inflation while simultaneously weighing on consumer spending and broader economic activity — two dynamics that make the Fed's job harder regardless of who is chairing the institution. What it means for Bitcoin For Bitcoin, a stronger-than-expected jobs market is broadly positive in the near term. A resilient labor market reduces immediate recession fears, supports risk appetite, and keeps the broader macro environment constructive for speculative assets. The flat price reaction — BTC holding above $80,000 rather than selling off — suggests the market digested the report as a neutral-to-positive development. The bigger variable for crypto in the weeks ahead will be how Warsh's Fed signals its intentions on rates. A more hawkish tilt at the central bank could strengthen the dollar and weigh on risk assets including Bitcoin, while a dovish or data-dependent stance could provide further tailwinds for the current rally.
