US spot Bitcoin ETFs just logged a record 13 straight days of net outflows.
From May 15 to June 3:
• -$4.33B withdrawn
• about 59,351 bitcoin:native out
• the worst streak since launch
The selling pressure also hit multiple rolling windows:
• 7-day: -$2.78B
• 10-day: -$3.06B
• 20-day: -$5.42B
This is now one of the clearest signs that ETF demand has turned into a real headwind for bitcoin:native
Bitcoin network activity just fell to its weakest level in more than 7 years.
Active addresses are now sitting just above 600,000 on a 60-day average, back near 2019 bear market levels.
That matters because price is already under pressure, and the on-chain trend is not helping.
ETF access has reduced some direct network use, while more payment and stablecoin activity keeps flowing to Ethereum, Solana, and Tron instead of bitcoin:native.
Is this the kind of flush that resets solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, or is the market still pricing in weaker demand ahead?

solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 just broke down to its lowest level since December 2023 📉
Nearly $88.5M got liquidated in 24 hours
and about 94% of it came from longs.
That is not just a bad day.
That is a crowded bullish trade getting wiped.
The weak spot is that this did not come out of nowhere either.
Active addresses and social interest had already been fading before price finally lost $73 and flushed toward $68.
Standard Chartered cuts Ethereum target 47%
The bank lowered its end-2026 ethereum:native target from $7,500 to $4,000, while keeping its 2030 target at $40,000.
That is a sharp near-term reset, not a full retreat from the long-term thesis.
The cut comes with:
- ETH below $1,800
- about $52.9M in daily ETF outflows
- total spot ETH ETF assets near $9.96B
The question now is whether buyers keep showing up.
Which one are you watching most ethereum:0x163f8c2467924be0ae7b5347228cabf260318753, lab:native, or siren-2:native? 👇
Analysis by @JakubDziadkowie: https://t.co/9GoBYEPcjf
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP are all in the red…
But 3 altcoins are doing the exact opposite 👀
1. ethereum:0x163f8c2467924be0ae7b5347228cabf260318753 +14%
2. lab:native +11%
3. siren-2:native +27%
While the broader market bleeds, these tokens are attracting buyers and breaking key levels.
Here’s what’s driving the move 🧵👇
3. Siren - siren-2:native
siren-2:native led the group with a 27% rally.
Price broke above a key resistance zone near $0.66 and is now targeting $0.80.
The strongest support remains around the $0.50 area where buyers previously stepped in.
Bitcoin just fell to a 4-month low, but the sell-off may be entering its final stage.
bitcoin:native dropped to around $61.5K, pushing the monthly drawdown near 20% and triggering more than $1B in crypto liquidations.
Why some analysts are watching this closely:
- top-buyer capitulation is starting to show up
- the weekly RSI is now deeply oversold
- both signals have appeared around past major cycle bottoms

Tom Lee says $ETH will hit $250,000 long-term as AI and tokenization reshape global finance.
That's ~140x from today (~$1,760) 🤯
At @proofoftalk he told "If you're bearish today, you're selling at the bottom for Bitcoin and Ethereum."
Do you think $250K per $ETH is realistic in our lifetime?
Tom Lee at @proofoftalk said Ethereum’s next breakout may come from tokenization, AI, and the fact that $ETH and software have moved in sync for a long time.
Lee says software has moved higher recently, but it’s only a matter of time before ETH syncs back.
He also points to the growing treasury model as a major supply shift.
ETH treasuries now own 7% of supply, while the Ethereum Foundation holds just 0.1%
