📉 Bitcoin continues to flow out of centralized exchanges (CEXs)
According to CryptoQuant, the weekly net flow remains negative at -4,300 BTC, indicating that more BTC is being withdrawn than deposited. 🧐
This trend often reflects investor confidence in holding rather than trading, possibly anticipating further price growth or preferring self-custody amid market uncertainty.
💼 CEX reserves keep shrinking — a potentially bullish signal.

🏦 BIS: Stablecoins ≠ Real Money
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) claims stablecoins are not fit to be money — citing their instability, issuer dependence, need for full backing, and compliance risks (AML/KYC). 👀
According to BIS, such tokens could undermine state control over monetary systems and enable financial misconduct.
Still, BIS admits they offer benefits:
⚡️ Fast cross-border payments
💻 Programmability
📱 User convenience
🧩 Verdict: useful tech, but not a solid foundation for money.

Bitcoin inflows to Binance have dropped to just 5,700 BTC/month — even lower than during the last bear market! 🤔
This signals strong holder conviction and a lack of sell pressure, even as BTC trades above $107K 💪

Tether aims to become the world’s largest Bitcoin miner by the end of 2025!
📝 In a recent interview, CEO Paolo Ardoino said mining is now a strategic move to protect Tether’s 100,000+ BTC holdings (~$10B).
🔋 Since 2023, Tether has invested $2B+ into mining infrastructure across Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador — building substations, renewable energy, and acquiring mining stakes.
💬 “It’s not about ROI — it’s about securing the Bitcoin network we rely on,” said Ardoino.
💡 Mining also fits into Tether’s broader vision of “stable energy” — alongside stable money, comms, and AI.
👑 With this pace, Tether might soon dethrone MARA, CleanSpark, or Riot as top mining kingpins.

Now it’s described more vaguely as:
🇺🇸 “Designed with American values in mind”
✋ “American hands behind every device.”
The launch timeline has also shifted — instead of a promised September 2025 release, it now just says “later this year.” 👀
