Regulatory Wins Clash with ETF Outflows as Market Sentiment Turns Defensive

Despite a landmark House panel vote advancing the Bitcoin reserve bill, crypto markets are reeling from a $520M ETF outflow triggered by the recent Fed rate hike. Sentiment is predominantly bearish, exacerbated by exchange delistings and governance turmoil surrounding Ondo Finance, overshadowing positive developments like Bybit's USDC Arc Chain launch.
