In April, crypto ETFs fully turned positive, with institutional funds sounding the horn for an attack In April, the crypto ETF market delivered the strongest monthly performance since 2026, with the three major mainstream assets simultaneously achieving monthly net inflows, signaling clear institutional investment entry. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a monthly net inflow of $2.1 billion, reaching a new high for the year, and from April 14-24, they set a strong record of nine consecutive days of net inflows, injecting ample liquidity into the market. Ethereum ETFs ended a six-month streak of continuous net outflows, announcing a strong comeback with a net inflow of $356.5 million; XRP ETFs also emerged from the sluggish net outflows in March, recording a monthly net inflow of $81.59 million. The data for the three major assets turned positive simultaneously, forming a rare resonance of capital. As of the data release, BTC price stood above $78,324, and the strong capital flow directly boosted market confidence recovery. Behind this wave of capital reflow are multiple positive factors resonating: the gradual clarification of the US crypto regulatory framework, institutional optimism about the supply and demand dynamics of BTC after the halving, and the easing of policy uncertainty surrounding Ethereum ETFs. The market has shifted from previous volatility and bottoming out to a rebound led by institutional funds, with continuous ETF inflows serving as the most direct indicator. Future market focus should be on two key nodes: the non-farm payroll data on May 8, which will influence Federal Reserve policy expectations, and the markup process of the Senate’s CLARITY Act, which will determine the long-term compliance path for the industry. Against the backdrop of sustained positive capital flow, the structural trend in the crypto market is expected to continue, but macro policies and regulatory developments will remain key variables influencing short-term volatility. #比特币ETF期权持仓限额增4倍 [@Gate广场_Official](gt://mention/ARAbClhcBQNwWRIVGAoGBB5QX1sO0O0O)

24-hour liquidations of $173 million! LAB plunged from 4.1 to 0.67—every technical indicator failed completely, and both longs and shorts were wiped out brutally Over the past 24 hours, the total liquidation across the entire network exceeded $173 million. BTC and ETH still contributed heavily—BTC liquidated $36.08 million, ETH liquidated $31.42 million—but what’s truly chilling is LAB. LAB saw $36.28 million in liquidations in 24 hours, #1 across all coins Long liquidations: $15.27 million Short liquidations: $21.01 million Accounting for as much as 20.97%, with both sides—longs and shorts—pierced through. Now take a look at its price range: high of 4.1 dollars, low of 0.67 dollars, dropping more than 80%. MACD, KDJ, Fibonacci… all technical indicators went completely useless—no rhyme or reason at all. In the same period, B liquidated $5.23 million, BIO liquidated $4.94 million, UB liquidated $4.81 million, ORDI liquidated $3.06 million—yet not a single coin was as cleanly and decisively slaughtered on both sides as LAB. This isn’t a shakeout—this is targeted demolition. You go long, and you get blown out; you flip and open a short, and you get blown out again. Pure slaughter. When the market no longer talks about technicals, the only way to survive is— Stay away from high leverage, and don’t be the person whose “data” is displayed in a table. $ETH ‌
