Bitcoin ETFs see five days of consecutive capital inflows

Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a five-day inflow streak despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the looming uncertainty in global financial markets.

According to data from Farside Investors, Bitcoin ETFs saw over $1.3 billion in inflows since Monday.

Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin voiced cautious optimism about Bitcoin’s short-term price resilience on Friday. The analyst also said:

“Over the long term, what matters most for Bitcoin is not geopolitics, it is the US dollar index (DXY), and the DXY has just broken below 100, its lowest level in over three years. It is clear USD is only going in one direction, and Bitcoin typically goes in the opposite.”

Despite this, Puckrin warned that all risk-on assets could take a major hit this weekend if tensions escalate and Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. The narrow waterway is a critical shipping lane for oil and could have widespread impacts on the global economy.

Trump discloses $57M crypto windfall from World Liberty Financial

US President Donald Trump has disclosed $57.4 million in income from his involvement with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture he backs alongside his sons Donald Jr. and Eric.

The details emerged in Trump’s 2025 public financial disclosure, filed with the US Office of Government Ethics on June 13. The filing reveals that Trump holds 15.75 billion governance tokens in World Liberty Financial, which also grants him voting rights.

While the document does not elaborate on the precise structure or market value of the governance tokens, the substantial reported income suggests that Trump has monetized some portion of the position or that the tokens were valued for disclosure at a high internal rate.

The filing simply states the income as “$57,437,927” without detailing whether the gain was realized through token sales, staking rewards, or other mechanisms.
