Bitcoin ETFs see US$936 million in daily inflows<\/h4>\n

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their strongest day of inflows since January, pulling in a combined US$936 million on Tuesday (April 22) across 10 issuers. <\/p>\n

Leading the charge were Ark & 21Shares with US$267.1 million, Fidelity\u2019s FBTC with US$253.8 million and BlackRock\u2019s IBIT, which added US$193.5 million. <\/p>\n

Over the past three days, total net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $1.4 billion, signaling renewed institutional confidence in crypto markets. Analysts attribute the momentum to persistent inflation, a weakening US dollar and growing fears over geopolitical instability, prompting investors to turn to Bitcoin as a hedge. <\/p>\n

While still volatile, Bitcoin is increasingly being framed as \u201cdigital gold,\u201d with ETF flows suggesting it\u2019s becoming a staple in diversified portfolios. This week\u2019s influx also reflects optimism that regulatory conditions are maturing, particularly in the US, where ETFs are rapidly gaining legitimacy among mainstream investors.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin becomes fifth largest global asset, overtakes Google<\/h4>\n

Bitcoin has climbed to a market capitalization of US$1.86 trillion, overtaking Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) to become the world\u2019s fifth-largest asset by market value. The price of Bitcoin surged past US$94,000, helped by easing trade tensions between the US and China and renewed bullish sentiment across tech and risk-on assets.<\/p>\n

This marks a symbolic milestone for the cryptocurrency, which has now outpaced several of the world\u2019s most valuable tech giants. Analysts point to Bitcoin\u2019s increasing correlation with macroeconomic tailwinds \u2014 such as falling bond yields and speculative interest in risk assets \u2014 as drivers of the recent price action. <\/p>\n

Its breakout relative to the Nasdaq also suggests growing investor confidence in crypto as a parallel to tech. If Bitcoin maintains this trajectory, some believe it could soon challenge silver\u2019s position as the fourth-largest global asset.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Trump backs crypto regulation, Trump Media eyes retail crypto products
<\/h4>\n

During a public appearance, US President Donald Trump called for regulatory certainty in the crypto industry and vowed to provide \u2018clear rules of the road\u2019 for digital asset innovation.<\/p>\n

His statement coincided with Trump Media & Technology Group\u2019s announcement that it will partner with Crypto.com and Yorkville America Digital to launch retail investment products, including crypto-focused ETFs aligned with Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d platform. The planned offerings aim to capitalize on the president\u2019s growing presence in the digital asset space following prior ventures like Trump NFTs and crypto-affiliated partnerships.<\/p>\n

While no official ETF filings have been submitted yet, the initiative signals Trump\u2019s commitment to making crypto a policy priority as part of his economic strategy. <\/p>\n

Tesla reports US$951 million in Bitcoin holdings despite earnings miss
<\/h4>\n

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) revealed it continues to hold $951 million worth of Bitcoin on its balance sheet, despite posting weaker-than-expected quarterly revenue of US$19.34 billion. <\/p>\n

The automaker\u2019s Bitcoin holdings, totaling 11,509 BTC, remained unchanged during the quarter, with no buy or sell activity recorded. This comes as Bitcoin\u2019s price dipped from late December highs, impacting Tesla\u2019s valuation of its digital asset portfolio under the new Financial Accounting Standards Board rules.<\/p>\n

These rules now require corporations to mark digital assets to market on a quarterly basis, increasing transparency but also exposing earnings to crypto market volatility. Tesla\u2019s crypto exposure, while relatively small compared to its core business, still makes it one of the top public holders of Bitcoin globally.<\/p>\n
