- 07:40BlackRock executive: IBIT's $2.34 billion outflow this month is normal, and we are confident in the long-term prospects of spot ETFsJinse Finance reported that BlackRock's spot bitcoin ETF, IBIT, saw a net outflow of $2.34 billion in November, with approximately $463 million in net outflows on November 14 and about $523 million on November 18, both breaking previous single-day outflow records. Cristiano Castro, the Director of Business Development, commented that the $2.34 billion outflow is a normal phenomenon and BlackRock remains confident in its long-term prospects. The spot bitcoin ETF has become one of BlackRock's most important sources of revenue, with growth so rapid that the November outflows were only due to previously strong demand. Cristiano Castro told reporters: "Spot ETFs are highly liquid and powerful tools, designed to allow investors to flexibly allocate capital and manage cash flow. What we are seeing now is completely normal—any asset will experience this phenomenon during a price correction, especially with a tool that has a high proportion of retail investors." As bitcoin returned above $90,000 on Thursday, IBIT investors' cumulative unrealized gains have reached about $3.2 billion, successfully offsetting losses from previous bitcoin corrections.
- 06:58Analysis: Bitcoin mining difficulty expected to increase, miner profitability indicator hashprice drops to freezing pointChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin network difficulty is expected to rise from approximately 149.3 trillion to about 149.8 trillion at the next adjustment, indicating that mining competition will further intensify. Meanwhile, the key indicator for measuring miner profitability, hashprice, has dropped to near record lows—daily revenue per PH/s is about $38.3, which is below the breakeven point for most miners. Industry analysis points out that this combination (rising difficulty + low hashprice) will further squeeze miners' profit margins; small miners or those with higher electricity costs may be forced to shut down, potentially accelerating industry reshuffling.
