POSITIONING
BTC ETF flows (DefiLlama, issuer-reported): -$151M outflow on May 8 (Fri close) (FBTC -$98M,
IBIT -$27M,
ARKB -$27M). Trailing 5-trading-day net: +$1.4B inflow. $96B AUM across 10 funds.
Whale positioning (
Hyperliquid, top 2 by notional): BTC: $21M long / $21M short (flat, -$1.2M PnL);
ETH: $0M long / $26M short (net short $26M, -$78K PnL).
IMPLICATION
The divergence between crypto weakness and equity strength suggests selective risk appetite rather than broad risk-off positioning. Technology leadership alongside emerging market strength points toward continued growth rotation, though crypto ETF outflows warrant monitoring for spillover effects into broader risk assets.
