Bitcoin has dropped below $60,000 amid nine straight days of spot Bitcoin ETF outflows, while AI-fueled US stocks keep hitting new highs. Rising bond yields and stubborn inflation are adding pressure, yet crypto is moving to its own rhythm. Meanwhile, the Fear and Greed Index has plunged into extreme fear territory. Institutional profit-taking, portfolio rebalancing, and a symbolic MicroStrategy BTC sale have weighed on sentiment. Altcoins are feeling it too, with Cardano sliding to levels not seen since 2020. But look closer and the picture shifts. On-chain data shows Bitcoin's realized cap stabilizing, with over 50 percent now held by investors who entered in the last 6 to 24 months. That February low near $62,000 is looking like a solid cycle floor. On the regulatory front, the CFTC just approved the first US platform for Bitcoin perpetual futures, pulling trading into the regulated space. Along the way, key crypto market structure legislation has a critical window in Washington before the July recess. We are in a grinding part of the cycle, but these structural developments point to stronger foundations ahead.
