Odaily Planet Daily News: Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, said at the Token2049 event in Dubai that Bitcoin ETF funds are flowing in on a large scale, and the investor structure is shifting from retail to institutional. Mitchnick pointed out that in the early days of the ETF launch, it was mainly participated by retail customers, including high-net-worth individuals with holdings of more than $100 million. However, the proportion of retail customers has gradually decreased every quarter, while the proportion of institutional and wealth management customers has continued to increase. As for altcoin ETFs, he said that the current market interest is still mainly focused on Bitcoin, because Bitcoin's properties as a portfolio hedging tool are different from other cryptocurrencies.

Canada has officially nominated Mark Carney as their next Prime Minister, as he takes on a key role in an uncertain economic context, and his monetary policy and cryptocurrencies could very well redefine the contours of the Canadian economy in the years to come.

According to PANews, during a discussion at Token2049 in Dubai, Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, highlighted a significant shift in Bitcoin ETF investments from retail to institutional clients. Initially dominated by retail investors, including high-net-worth individuals with over $100 million, the ETF landscape is now seeing a quarterly decline in retail holdings and a rise in institutional and wealth advisor participation. Mitchnick emphasized that this transition requires a longer adaptation period. He also noted that while viewing Bitcoin as a leveraged beta of tech stocks is unreasonable, it could be considered a safe haven or a hedge against non-monetary risks, prompting investors to include it in their portfolios. Regarding other cryptocurrency ETFs, Mitchnick pointed out that their investment positioning differs from Bitcoin, with current market interest still heavily focused on Bitcoin. Mitchnick expressed caution about potential new ETF policies under the new SEC Chairman, Paul Atkins, suggesting that the regulatory framework might complicate certain matters.

According to CoinMarketCap (CMC) data, the CMC Altcoin Season Index currently stands at 16. The index measures market performance by analyzing the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization to determine whether the market is shifting towards altcoins or Bitcoin dominance.

Odaily Planet Daily News Matrixport released today's chart, saying that from the daily chart since March 19, Bitcoin ETF funds continued to flow out, and the futures market's holdings also fell simultaneously. From January to April, the cumulative net outflow of ETFs was close to US$5 billion. But recently we have observed a large-scale inflow of nearly US$3 billion, and futures open contracts have also increased simultaneously. Interestingly, the funding rate remains at a low level. It can be seen that the current new capital inflow mainly comes from real long-term holding demand. Compared with the ETF buying driven by arbitrage funds at the beginning of the year, the overall bullish signal is more positive.
