Why Bitcoin is up 2.8% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 2.8% over the past 24 hours as demand expectations improved on strong spot ETF activity, with reports noting Bitcoin ETFs pulled in about $2B in April—the largest monthly inflows this year. BTC also pushed above $77,000 alongside continued institutional participation, though some positioning indicates investors are simultaneously adding downside hedges rather than expressing purely bullish risk-taking.
