This week, Bitcoin outperformed the three major U.S. stock indices. According to macromicro data, the Nasdaq rose about 9%, the S&P 500 gained around 7%, and the Dow Jones increased by about 5%.

Macro and geopolitical forces are driving this influx of capital. CoinMarketCap reports a net inflow of about $300 billion this week. This pushed the total market cap of crypto from $2.66 trillion to a peak of $2.99 trillion. The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF alone saw over $3 billion in net inflows, with trading volume reaching $19 billion.

According to CryptoQuant analyst ITTech, interest in Bitcoin purchases is significantly rising. ITTech noted, "A strong rebound from extreme negative values (below -200K BTC) indicates that previously dormant capital is flowing back in."
