Four consecutive US spot Bitcoin ETF sessions saw a combined $526.5 million in net outflows, while Glassnode reported weaker perpetual futures buying and stagnant broader on-chain capital inflows.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin traded near $64,200<\/a>, leaving $64,000 as an immediate market test rather than a guaranteed floor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/farside.co.uk\/btc\/\">Farside Investors data<\/a> shows ETF outflows of $225.1 million on July 23, $240.1 million on July 24, $11.6 million on July 27, and $49.7 million on July 28. As of about 08:50 UTC on Wednesday, July 28 was the latest session listed.<\/p>\n<p>Those outflows show weakness in a major regulated demand channel, not the whole institutional market. They also do not establish what caused Bitcoin\u2019s price move.

Beneath that range, perpetual-futures buy-side aggression had declined and long-side funding payments had cooled sharply, even as aggregate open interest increased slightly. That combination points to more cautious leverage, not the disappearance of derivatives exposure.<\/p>\n<p>On-chain measures offered little evidence of fresh capital replacing that demand. Glassnode found that active addresses were steady, but economic settlement and transaction pressure remained restrained and broader capital inflows were stagnant. The firm also said regulated investment products had shifted into net outflows as weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/markets\/\">trading volume<\/a> declined.<\/p>\n<p>The derivatives signal is not one-way. A <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-traders-drop-hedges-before-fed-most-uncertain-meeting\/\">separate CryptoSlate options analysis<\/a> found about 52 open put contracts for every 100 calls, down from 76 in late June. The premium for one-week downside protection had also eased, although puts still traded above comparable calls. Options traders were carrying less immediate protection even as perpetual-futures demand softened.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-traders-drop-hedges-before-fed-most-uncertain-meeting\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Bitcoin traders just stripped away crash protection &#8211; right as the Fed prepares its most unpredictable rate decision in years<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>When the holder buffer starts to erode<\/h2>\n<p>Long-term holders remain the clearest offset.
