According to the Apollo tracker, total inflows into the ETF since February 8th totaled $2.2 billion dollars, which is more than the entire previous period.

⛔️ At the moment, lawmakers in the U.S. do not care about crypto regulation - they are busy with the upcoming presidential elections. Neither Congress nor Senate, Republicans nor Democrats look ready to vote for new crypto laws.
⚖️ It can be predicted that in the absence of a federal law in 2024, the main decisions on the legal status of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. will be made by concerned agencies (SEC, CFTC, FinCEN) and federal courts.
🏦 Recently, the court decision on CZ's case was postponed for two months. perhaps because the U.S. Ministry of Justice cannot determine its position. In other legal news, the New York State Attorney's Office has sued Digital Currency Group, Gemini and Genesis. Cumulatively, they are accused of three billion dollars worth of fraud.
🔮 Prediction: there will be no federal law regulating crypto in the U.S. in 2024. The future of Ethereum ETFs, the status of crypto exchanges and other issues will depend on the courts, regulators, crypto business and its lobbyists.

🔎 Bitcoin's price dropped out of the $42,000 - $43,000 range, falling to $40,600. Glassnode analysts believe that the decline from the previous high ($49,000) is due to early investors taking profits, including the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF holders. Nansen's expert Aurelie Barthere suggests this is a slight correction before the next wave of growth.
❓ However, JPMorgan does not rule out a deeper correction if Grayscale investors continue to sell.
🔝 On the other hand, several bullish factors can push the BTC price up. First, the total holdings of all spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $27 billion - more than the holdings of silver-based ETFs.
🗞 According to Cointelegraph, at least 10 investment funds are now working to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF in Hong Kong.
📊 Although the outflow from Grayscale ETH exceeded $1.5 billion, the total inflow of funds into all Bitcoin ETFs amounted to $1.25 billion, primarily due to two other large Bitcoin ETFs - IBIT from BlackRock ($1 billion) and Fidelity ($882 million).
✅ In addition, analysts are talking about halving and the potential approval of the Ethereum ETF in May as possible positive signals for the market.
