Bitcoin ETFs are flashing a major warning sign. Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows topped four hundred ninety million dollars today as investors pulled back amid soaring oil prices, mixed Big Tech earnings, and disappointing AI growth numbers. That’s the heaviest one-day exodus in weeks and it’s raising fresh questions about whether Bitcoin’s rally is running out of steam right now.

At the same time, ASEAN economic ministers are sounding the alarm. They say escalating conflict in the Middle East is now a direct threat to regional energy security and economic growth. With the Strait of Hormuz carrying a quarter of all global seaborne oil and LNG, and more than eighty percent of it heading to Asia, freight, insurance, and logistics costs are already spiking sharply.

European futures are edging lower on the tension while Asian markets are watching oil and crypto flows for direction heading into tomorrow’s Wall Street open. Any sustained disruption in the Strait could push energy prices even higher and weigh on risk assets across the board.
