Bitcoin prices oscillated between $76,000 and $81,000, supported by a historic nine-day, $3 billion institutional inflow streak into United States spot ETFs. This demand acted as a counterweight to stagflationary pressures—defined by a 1.5% GDP growth rate and 3.3% Core PCE inflation—and the United States national debt surpassing the $40 trillion milestone. Key structural shifts include the United States Treasury’s intervention in the bond market via $4 billion per-session buybacks and a significant regulatory divergence as the European Union banned 14 offshore exchanges. On the infrastructure front, mining companies are increasingly pivoting to artificial intelligence (AI) to combat margin compression. Meanwhile, technological milestones were achieved with the first quantum-resistant transaction on the Bitcoin mainnet and the activation of native Bitcoin staking via the Stacks network.
