Bitcoin did not join the recent rebound in stock markets, maintaining a steady stance despite broader market gains. According to CoinDesk, this divergence comes amid ongoing outflows from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have now extended for a fourth straight day.

The continued withdrawal of funds from Bitcoin ETFs highlights cautious investor sentiment, even as equities find footing. This trend suggests that some market participants remain wary of crypto exposure despite positive movements elsewhere.

For Japanese investors, who often balance exposure between traditional equities and emerging digital assets, this development underscores the need to monitor ETF flows closely as indicators of crypto market confidence.
