A Bitcoin developer demonstrated embedding a 66KB image within a single transaction, bypassing common data storage methods like OP_RETURN and Taproot.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant five-week outflow streak totaling $3.8 billion, indicating a contraction in institutional positioning. However, this trend reversed with approximately $875.5 million in net inflows recorded between February 20th and 27th, suggesting a potential reset rather than a structural exit. Traders should monitor continued inflow trends, Bitcoin's reaction to macro events, and its ability to rise without ETF support to gauge the strength of institutional demand.
