On Tuesday, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) acquired 2,660 BTC, valued at $217 million, when the price of Bitcoin was rejected at the 200 SMA.
With BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) driving the inflows, spot Bitcoin ETF inflows have returned to positive territory. Yesterday, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF amassed 2,660 BTC, suggesting that institutional demand is returning. Market watchers want to know if it will assist the price of Bitcoin to return to $90K levels quickly.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF records highest inflows in 6 weeks
Over the past two trading days, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has once again received new inflows following a string of outflows over the previous few weeks. 2,660 Bitcoins, totaling $217.26 million, were acquired by IBIT on Tuesday. According to analyst Trader T, this is the ETF’s largest one-day inflow since February 4, 2025.

Additionally, there was a sharp increase in trading activity surrounding $IBIT, with the ETF posting a significant $1.6 billion in trading volume. This dramatic increase in activity and inflows highlights the resurgence of investor interest in Bitcoin in the face of continuous market movements.
Institutional demand for BTC on the rise
On-chain data indicates that long-term investors have continued to accumulate at every drop despite the recent extreme volatility in the price of bitcoin. This Bitcoin cohort has amassed an astounding 167,000 BTC, or about $14 billion, in the last month, according to Glassnode statistics.
However, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has declared its intention to raise an enormous $500 million for more Bitcoin acquisitions. The business, which is now known as Strategy, has declared that it would issue 5 million shares of its Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock, which has a 10.00% ownership stake. The declared value of each perpetual preferred stock share is $100.
Although the Trump tariff battle has had a significant impact on the price of Bitcoin, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan stated that it won’t prevent the cryptocurrency from eventually hitting $1 million.
Will BTC price regain $90,000 quickly?
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is currently hovering around $83,000, despite the fact that inflows into BlackRock Bitcoin ETFs have restarted. Additionally, cryptocurrency researcher Ali Martinez has noted that Bitcoin is vulnerable to rejection at the 200-day SMA, which is located at about $84,000. Furthermore, the 50-day SMA, which is situated around the $91,000 mark, is posing an additional challenge.
On the down side, Bitcoin may fall to $75,000 or less if it fails to hold above $80,000. A key factor in determining future Bitcoin activity would be the Federal Reserve’s interest rate announcement on Wednesday.
Beware the copy-paste trap: malicious ‘address poisoning’ attack strikes EOS users
Malicious actors are now using an address-poisoning method to assault the EOS blockchain.
In an address poisoning attack, hackers use fictitious wallet addresses that closely mimic real ones to originate and transmit little transactions, sometimes with insignificant amounts like 0.001 tokens. To fool consumers into inadvertently copying and pasting the bogus address in subsequent transactions is the aim.
EOS blockchain users suffers address poisoning attack
According to SlowMist, a blockchain security company, hackers are tricking users into donating money to fictitious accounts by sending them tiny transactions of 0.001 EOS.
🚨 SlowMist Security Alert 🚨
Beware of address poisoning attacks on #EOS!
Malicious accounts are sending 0.001 $EOS to users to poison addresses, such as:
fake: oktothemoon
real: okbtothemoon – @okxfake: binanecleos
real: binancecleos – @binanceStay vigilant and verify… pic.twitter.com/HQu2kgAL3E

SlowMist claims that the attackers make accounts that look a lot like those on trustworthy trading sites. In particular, “binanecleos” to mimic Binance exchange (actual account: “binancecleos”) and “oktothemoon” to mimic OKX exchange (real account: “okbtothemoon”).
These little changes have the potential to deceive consumers who do not carefully examine the transaction details. Users are alerted to the dangers of this assault via blockchain-focused X (Twitter) accounts.
“Careful all….. Bad actors out there,” Blockchain-focused X account remarked.
WuBlockchain highlighted the impersonation techniques while confirming the continuing attack. The assault was recognized by the AI-powered social app AVA. It did, however, convey confidence in the robustness of the cryptocurrency ecosystem and urged consumers to maintain vigilance and security-focused attention.
It should be noted that address poisoning assaults are not brand-new in the crypto industry. A global notice on clipper malware that modifies cryptocurrency wallet addresses was just released by Binance. In a similar vein, last May, a Bitcoin dealer sent $70 million to the incorrect address.
In January 2023, MetaMask cautioned its users about becoming victims of “address poisoning,” referring to a cryptocurrency fraud that was becoming more and more well-known.
As a result, the scheme’s reappearance on EOS underscores the continuous security issues in blockchain systems. In order to transfer money without authorization, these attacks rely on deceiving users into copying and pasting fictitious addresses from their transaction histories.
Users are encouraged to carefully double-check wallet addresses due to the dishonest nature of these schemes. Additionally, while conducting transfers, it is crucial to refrain from depending exclusively on historical transaction records.
This event, however, occurs only twenty-four hours after another significant security vulnerability in the cryptocurrency industry. Four.meme, the launchpad for the meme token from BNB Chain, had a serious vulnerability that resulted in large financial losses.
The consecutive security events demonstrate how sophisticated blockchain attacks are becoming. The essential necessity for improved security measures across all networks is further highlighted by this occurrence.
Will Shiba Inu price decline continue as ‘Death Cross’ pattern emerges?
A “Death Cross” pattern and selling pressure have caused the price of Shiba Inus to decrease 34% since February, with $0.00001 serving as a major support.
In recent weeks, Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) price has been declining, falling more than 34% since February. Investors have taken notice of this most recent action, mostly because the token is getting close to a support level. The idea that the SHIB price would probably continue to be under selling pressure over the next days is also supported by other data.
Shiba Inu’s price decline since February
The price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been steadily declining since peaking at $0.00001894 in February 2025. The value of the token has significantly decreased as of mid-March, when it is trading at about $0.00001251.
The currency has not had a consistent price increase for a number of weeks; instead, it has experienced brief increases followed by decreases.
The asset made a very brief comeback effort, which intensified the previous negative move on SHIB. Prior to making a 26% comeback to $0.0000138 last week, it hit an intraweek low of $0.00001082. However, this sharp increase was just temporary, and the price started to fall. At this point, the coin is attempting to cling onto important levels. Shiba Inu could be preparing for a comeback, though, since the exchange reserves have reached an all-time low.
Death Cross pattern points to further downside
The “Death Cross” is one of the technical indicators that traders are concerned about in relation to Shiba Inu price trends. This pattern indicates a bearish trend when the 50-day moving average (MA) drops below the 200-day MA.
It happened lately on the SHIB/USD chart, indicating a negative short-term trend.
As a negative indication, the Death Cross suggests that the price may continue to decline in the near future. The price is also below the 200-day and 50-day moving averages, which lends credence to the idea that selling pressure may intensify. The bearish prognosis is further reinforced by the fact that SHIB may target the lower band of the Bollinger Bands, which is at $0.00001123, in the days ahead.
Whale activity and market sentiment
New research indicates that Shiba Inus have been connected to early holders of whales through patterns of price changes. Before the start of the 2021 bull phase, the whales owned 20% of the total supply of Shiba Inus, according to Glassnode’s on-chain market analysis data.
Additionally, it indicates that these big holders have had a significant impact on SHIB’s price, particularly when they purchase or sell the token in bulk.
We’re keeping an eye on the SHIB price activity right now to see whether whales may affect the market. The negative trend may worsen if these early holders start liquidating more of their SHIB holdings.
Early $SHIB holders accumulated over 20% of supply at low prices before selling at key price peaks.
This mass exit triggered sharp corrections, highlighting how concentrated early ownership can amplify volatility.

The $0.00001 price level is regarded as the crucial support level throughout this price fall. However, SHIB has only momentarily dropped below this level in the last month before rising up, suggesting that there is demand at this price.
However, as it gradually moves toward a positive market’s scope, SHIB has to at least reclaim the $0.000013 level in order to reverse the tides in its favor. The Shiba Inu price range will remain contained below if this resistance level is not broken, perhaps retesting the lower support barriers.
