Odaily Planet Daily News: Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, wrote on the X platform that Bitcoin ETFs may be affected by the market decline, with an outflow of nearly $1 billion and a weekly flow of $1.8 billion. However, the good thing is that the outflow is less than 2% of the total assets. Considering the severity of the losses, the outflow of funds is not serious. This trend is like two steps forward and one step back. You will get used to it.

Odaily Planet Daily News CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. posted on social media that data showed that 79,300 BTC were sold at a loss on CEX in the 24 hours from 16:00 yesterday to 16:00 today, which is also the largest Bitcoin sell-off so far in 2025.

Odaily Planet Daily News Greeks.live macro researcher Adam published a Chinese community briefing on the X platform, saying that the market generally looks bearish, believing that the rebound is weak and BTC may fall further to below $80,000. Some even believe that it will follow last year's volatile trend. Many traders pointed out that the current M-top has been broken, and there are risks in the medium-term direction. At the same time, the record net outflow of Bitcoin ETF has also exacerbated the bearish sentiment. Option traders discussed the abnormal performance of the current market volatility. Despite the plunge, the volatility of medium and long-term options has not been effectively improved. This may indicate that the market expects this to be a one-time decline rather than a trend change.

According to Cointelegraph, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), India's primary crime investigation agency, has launched a series of searches across more than 60 locations in connection with an eight-year-old Bitcoin Ponzi scheme. This investigation involves a staggering 6,606 crores Indian rupees, equivalent to $75.8 million. On February 25, the CBI announced a nationwide operation targeting major Indian cities, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Pune, and Nanded. These searches focus on properties linked to key suspects in the GainBitcoin cryptocurrency scam. The GainBitcoin scam, masterminded by the Bhardwaj Brothers, Amit and Vivek, was a notorious scheme that defrauded approximately 8,000 investors. Established in 2013, GainBitcoin was marketed as a cloud-based platform for Bitcoin trading and mining. The fraudulent operation promised investors lucrative returns of 10% monthly in Bitcoin over 18 months. Investors were encouraged to purchase Bitcoin from exchanges and invest them with GainBitcoin through "cloud mining" contracts. The brothers were apprehended in 2017 after multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) were filed, with at least 27 cases reported to the police. Amit Bhardwaj was identified as the mastermind, while Vivek was labeled the main conspirator, responsible for promoting and marketing the scam at various cryptocurrency events. To date, eight individuals have been arrested in connection with the GainBitcoin scam. However, Amit Bhardwaj passed away in January 2022 due to cardiac arrest while on bail. Police Commissioner Rashmi Shukla highlighted that the Bhardwaj brothers exploited the general lack of knowledge about cryptocurrencies. They would collect funds for Bitcoin purchases but instead buy equivalent amounts of Ether (ETH) and Mcap (MCAP) tokens, profiting from the difference. The CBI has reiterated its commitment to thoroughly investigate this massive cryptocurrency fraud and ensure that all perpetrators are brought to justice.
