Bloomberg's senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on platform X that Bitcoin ETF inflows have surpassed $1 billion this year, successfully reversing the previous trend of net outflows and achieving positive growth. The next key indicator to watch is the cumulative historical net inflow size (the most important and challenging metric), which previously peaked at $62.8 billion and is currently around $58 billion, leaving a gap of about $5 billion to reach a new all-time high. In the development of asset classes, it is crucial to control the scale of outflows during market downturns to reduce subsequent repair pressure; in this regard, the performance of spot Bitcoin ETFs has outperformed other popular asset classes.

On April 20, cryptocurrency market analyst Axel posted on social media that on April 17, approximately $526 million in short positions were liquidated in the BTC futures market in a single day. The open interest (OI) did not rebuild leverage after reaching a peak of 319,499 BTC, instead falling back to 293,045 BTC. The liquidation dominance indicator has shifted from negative values for two consecutive weeks to positive, indicating the end of the systemic short squeeze phase. Current prices are stable in the range of $75,000 to $76,000 while OI is shrinking, creating a constructive structure of 'cooling down after a short squeeze' rather than a new round of overheating. The next focus will be whether OI will return above 300,000 BTC when prices attempt to break through.

On April 20, Mizuho Financial Group, Nomura Holdings, Japan Securities Clearing Corporation, and Digital Asset initiated an empirical experiment for the digital collateral management of Japanese Government Bonds (JGB) based on the blockchain network Canton Network. The aim is to verify whether the transfer of JGB rights and account book updates can be successfully completed within a multi-tiered account structure under the existing transfer method framework. This experiment will interface with existing infrastructure to explore 24-hour real-time collateral transactions and cross-border collateral acceptance scenarios, without altering the legal attributes of JGB. Additionally, it will assess whether relevant regulations need to be revised to enhance collateral management efficiency and strengthen the usability of JGB in the digital asset space.
