Bitcoin’s push toward $75K revives debate over what drives capital flows

- US‑listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $763 M for a third straight week, a confidence boost (Bloomberg).
- Metaplanet secured $255 M in a private placement to expand its corporate Bitcoin treasury (Tokyo press).
- Bitfinex analysts highlight a five‑fold absorption of daily miner supply and rising futures open interest, indicating healthier market dynamics (Bitfinex).

Bitcoin surged to $74.5k, its highest since early February, as institutional money poured in—ETF inflows topped $763 M, Michael Saylor’s fund bought $1.57 B of BTC, and Metaplanet raised $255 M to buy more. Analysts see healthier market structure and a strong absorption‑to‑emissions ratio, but some argue the rally is driven more by leveraged derivatives than spot demand.
