Bitget Expands Spot Market With Ondo Tokenized Stocks, ETFs and Precious Metals

Bitcoin is showing early signs of renewed demand after a February stretch 
marked by heavy selling across both retail and institutional venues, even as 
the broader macro backdrop remains unsupportive for risk assets. On-chain and 
ETF flow data now point to a market that is stabilizing, though not yet fully 
out of danger. That shift is notable because it is unfolding against a 
difficult backdrop. As CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost put it, “Despite 
escalating tensions in Iran, Bitcoin continues to show a degree of resilience, 
particularly compared to equities and commodities, which are increasingly 
displaying toppish market structures. This is all the more notable given that 
the upcoming FOMC meeting is unlikely to deliver any rate cuts.” The market, 
in other words, is improving in spite of macro rather than because of it. 
Darkfost noted that current probabilities imply roughly a 99% chance of no 
change from the Federal Reserve, leaving traders focused less on an immediate 
policy move and more on forward guidance, especially whether officials reopen 
the door to future hikes. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyes Mid-$80,000s As Peter 
Brandt Flags ‘Horn’ Pattern Within that setup, exchange flow data has started 
to look better. According to Darkfost, the 30-day moving average volume delta 
on Binance and Coinbase has shifted back toward buyers after plunging deeply 
negative in mid-February. On Feb. 16, the metric stood at -$145 million on 
Binance and -$88 million on Coinbase, a sign that “both retail and 
institutional participants were largely aligned on the sell side.” Today, 
those averages have moved back into positive territory at around +$21 million 
and +$14 million. It is still a modest move. But compared with the conditions 
seen a month ago, it marks a clear change in tone. Why $79,962 Remains The Key 
Resistance For Bitcoin ETF flow data presented by CryptoQuant contributor Axel 
Adler Jr. tells a similar story, though with an important caveat. Over the 
past month, US spot bitcoin ETF flows swung from capitulation to recovery. 
From Feb. 15 to 24, the 7-day average net flow remained negative, bottoming at 
-1,883 BTC per day on Feb. 18. The reversal began on Feb. 25, when flows 
recovered to +2,305 BTC per day, before peaking at +3,387 BTC per day on March 
2. The latest reading has cooled to +1,472 BTC per day, while total ETF 
holdings rose from 1,264,982 BTC to 1,291,618 BTC over the month, an increase 
of 26,636 BTC. Related Reading: Bitcoin Returns To Full Bull Mode: Key 
Indicators Signal Bottom And Major Relief Rally Adler’s conclusion is 
constructive, but measured. “ETF flows recovered after February’s outflow, 
liquidity returned to positive territory — demand is back,” he wrote. “But 
until spot closes above the Realized Price (~$80K), the ETF cohort remains 
underwater, and this level will likely slow any rally.” That realized price 
now sits at $79,962, down slightly from $80,501 on Feb. 15. Even after bitcoin 
rebounded from $63,756 on Feb. 24 to $74,788, spot still trades $5,174, or 
6.5%, below the aggregate ETF cohort’s cost basis. That leaves a large pocket 
of holders in unrealized loss and creates the risk that any move toward 
$80,000 draws out supply from investors looking to exit near breakeven. For 
now, both analysts are describing the same market: selling pressure has eased, 
buyer activity has returned, and institutional demand is no longer 
deteriorating. But confirmation still matters. At press time, Bitcoin traded 
at $74,063. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
