Bitcoin ETF flows just flipped positive for the first time since October 2025

Unsurprisingly, the largest funding rounds involved two leading prediction platforms: Kalshi raised $1 bill

Is Crypto Dead? (Spoiler: It’s Actually Going to Work)
If you've been watching the charts lately, you might be feeling a bit of "deja vu." Bitcoin has pulled back from its January highs of $94,000 to the mid-$60,000s, and the usual "Crypto is Dead" headlines are making their seasonal rounds.
