Crypto & Digital AssetsMarket Technicals & FlowsInvestor Sentiment & PositioningFintech

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accelerated Bitcoin selling on May 18 after ending six straight weeks of cash inflows. The reversal points to weaker near-term demand and softer investor positioning in the largest U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF. The update is negative for crypto sentiment, but the impact is likely limited to the digital asset complex rather than broader markets.
