US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Hit Record $1.2 Billion Series of Outflows – Hyperliquid Sees Record Fund Outflow on North Korea Hack Allegations

US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Hit Record $1.2 Billion Outflow Streak

US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen a significant outflow totaling $1.2 billion in three days, the longest streak since Donald Trump was re-elected in 2020. This wiped out a large portion of the inflow gains made in early December, reducing the funds’ total value by $10.7 billion. Fidelity’s FBTC led the way with $426 million in outflows, while BlackRock’s IBIT was relatively stable. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs remained relatively stable with small net outflows of $5 million, while their total value fell by $1.1 billion. However, both Bitcoin and Ethereum prices rose by around 6% and 5% respectively on Tuesday.

Hyperliquid Sees Record Fund Outflow on North Korea Hack Allegations

Decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid saw record net outflows of $250 million on Monday and $22.2 million on Tuesday after a Metamask researcher claimed that North Korea-backed hackers were active on the platform. The researcher identified 12 blockchain addresses with DPRK ties, highlighting the potential risk of an attack. Despite the allegations, Hyperliquid said all funds were safe and there were no vulnerabilities or security breaches. The platform’s native token, Hype, fell from $34.5 to $26 before recovering slightly to $29.63. Hyperliquid denied the rumors, emphasizing its commitment to operational security.

Bitcoin Miners Face Challenges Despite Rising in 2024

Bitcoin gained 130% in 2024, reaching $98,600 by the end of the year. However, most publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies ended the year with losses due to rising costs, mining difficulty, and halving-related revenue declines. According to the reports, only 7 out of 25 mining companies saw positive returns. Core Scientific gained 327%, TeraWulf gained 169%, and Hut 8 gained 91%. However, Argo Blockchain lost 84% and Greenidge lost 74%, while Bitfarms fell 44% and MARA Holdings fell 12%. The halving in April 2024 halved block rewards, cutting miners’ daily income from $100 million in April to $42 million in December. In addition, mining difficulty increased by 50.7%, while the cost of producing one Bitcoin increased by 13%, reaching an average of $55,950.

Russia Bans Crypto Mining

Russia has announced that it will ban crypto mining in certain regions starting January 1, 2025, in an effort to address energy imbalances and electricity subsidy issues. The ban will last until March 15, 2031, and will be applied primarily during the winter months when energy consumption peaks. The affected regions include Dagestan, Ingushetia, Chechnya, and the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Mining activities in these regions will be suspended on the grounds that they cause electricity imbalances. In addition, seasonal restrictions will be introduced in Irkutsk, Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Regions.

BITCOIN (BTC)

BTC is priced at $ 98,202 as of the morning hours, down 0.40%. The price in the BTC/USDT pair is trying to recover after the decline that started at 108,000 and is currently trading at 98,237 levels. The price seems to have received an upward reaction from the green demand zone between 94,500 and 96,000. This area stands out as a region where buyers step in and the price finds support. If the recovery continues, the price can be expected to target 100,000 in the first place. If this level is breached, the next target should be the 102,000 – 104,000 resistance zone. However, selling pressure may increase again in this zone. In particular, there is strong resistance at the 104,000 level. In a downside scenario, the price can be expected to fall back to the 96,000 – 94,500 support zone. If this zone is breached, the price is likely to fall to the 92,290 and then 90,757 levels. These levels are support areas where strong buyers previously stepped in.

RIPPLE (XRP)

XRP is traded at $ 2.3035 with a loss of 0.90% as of the morning hours. The $ 2.2305 level appears as an important support zone.

In a deeper selling pressure, the $1.9580 level may be considered a strong support point for buyers. In upward movements, if the price holds above the $2.2305 level, it may support a recovery towards the $2.3645 and $2.4935 resistance levels, respectively.
