šŸ„‡Blackrock

IBIT was the only net buyer yesterday, with 293 BTC inflows ($18m). Blackrock also released an education series of four videos about bitcoin.

šŸ¦Ø Grayscale

GBTC outflows continued as usual, with 2179 BTC ($133m) leaving the Grayscale coffers. That makes total GBTC outflows of 312,106 BTC since launch.

šŸ§® Total

It was a solid net outflow day yesterday, with 2700 BTC out ($165M). That brings the total held by ETFs down a touch, to 838,746 BTC.

Where The Coins At

The helpful chart below, from Bitwise's Q1 Market Review, shows the estimated distribution of bitcoin across the major holder groups.

The ā€˜inactiveā€™ segment refers to coins not moved for over five years. Some of those are no doubt owned by very patient hodlers, though itā€™s estimated that more than 3 million coins have been lost for good.

ā° IMF Alarm

The IMF is warning that the USā€™s massive fiscal deficits mounting debts pose a ā€œsignificant riskā€ for the global economy.

IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas says that the current path is unsustainable: ā€œSomething will have to give.ā€

But is it really that bad? Actually itā€™s even worse! The US is on track for a $2.2T deficit in 2024, which is 47% more than the Congressional Budget Office forecast one just month ago, and more than their projected deficit for 2031! Alarming indeed.
