U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have now recorded their third straight day of outflows, with total withdrawals crossing $490 million. Following this selling pressure, Bitcoin price dropped 3% after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, and is now trading at $75,621.
Last week alone recorded a strong consecutive inflow of $823.7 million, contrasting sharply with the recent outflows.
Three Days, $490 million in $BTC ETF Outflow
It has been a rough week for Bitcoin ETFs. Since the start of this week, money has been leaving these funds for three straight days.
On Monday, April 27, the biggest hit came in the form of $263.2 million in net outflows from ETFs. This was the largest single-day withdrawal of the week. April 28 brought a little relief, but money continued to leave. Another $89.7 million flowed out of the market.
Then on April 29, the day of the Fed’s rate decision, ETFs recorded another $137.6 million in outflows. This confirmed that the selling was not just a one-day event, but part of a growing trend.
Leading the withdrawals was Fidelity’s FBTC, which recorded the largest outflow of $191.5 million. It was followed by BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets under management, with $166.9 million in outflows. Ark Invest’s ARKB came next with $73.3 million.
In total, more than $490 million was pulled from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs in less than 72 hours.
This outflow comes right after nine consecutive days of inflows, during which Bitcoin ETFs recorded steady inflows totaling $2.111.2 billion.
Fed Held Rates, No Hope of Cuts Soon
The main reason behind this week’s ETF outflows is that the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. This was the third straight time rates were left unchanged.

$BNB Chain has surpassed 150,000 on-chain AI agent deployments as of April 2026, a 43,750% increase since January, while Binance simultaneously launched its Agentic Wallet, a keyless wallet allowing AI bots to trade and transfer tokens on behalf of its 250 million users without accessing their primary accounts.
BNB Chain became the leading blockchain for autonomous AI agent deployments by April 2026, with Bitget News confirming over 150,000 on-chain agents operating across the network, a 43,750% increase since January 2026. The same period saw Binance launch its Agentic Wallet, a keyless wallet infrastructure designed to let AI bots execute trades and token transfers on behalf of users without requiring access to the user’s primary account credentials.

BNB Chain AI Agent Growth Represents the Fastest Ecosystem Expansion on Any Layer-1
As crypto.news reported, BNB Chain surpassed all other blockchains in AI agent deployments earlier in April 2026, driven by three structural advantages: transaction fees averaging under one cent, a block time of 250 milliseconds following the Fermi hard fork in January, and a developer ecosystem that includes pre-built agent frameworks and access to BNB Chain’s AI hackathon programs. The 43,750% growth rate since January represents a jump from approximately 340 agents in late January to over 150,000 by April, a trajectory that reflects the broader acceleration of autonomous on-chain AI infrastructure across the industry. A recent pilot with OpenMind AGI confirmed that Pi Network’s distributed node network can support decentralized AI tasks, but BNB Chain’s AI agent deployments operate at a scale and transaction throughput that no competing network has matched.
The Agentic Wallet and What It Means for AI-Driven Trading at Scale
The Agentic Wallet launched by Binance represents a distinct infrastructure advancement from the AI agent deployment count alone. Where AI agents on BNB Chain typically execute on-chain actions within smart contract environments, the Agentic Wallet gives those agents access to Binance’s centralized exchange liquidity and 250 million user base without requiring the agent to hold the user’s primary account credentials. The keyless architecture uses a permissioned sub-wallet structure, allowing AI bots to trade within user-defined parameters and transfer tokens between wallets without exposing the main account to security risk. As crypto.news documented, BNB Chain’s 2026 roadmap targets 20,000 transactions per second and sub-second finality, a performance profile designed specifically to handle the high-frequency, low-latency execution that autonomous AI agents require to function at institutional scale rather than as retail curiosities..

BNB Price Performance in the Context of AI Agent Leadership
As crypto.news tracked, BNB demonstrated relative price resilience during the broader April 28 to 29 market decline, holding above $625 while Bitcoin fell 1.6% and Ethereum hit a week low. Analysts observing BNB’s outperformance during macro-driven selloffs have pointed to the structural demand from BNB Chain’s transaction fee burn mechanism and the growing utility base from AI agent deployments as factors that insulate BNB from pure macro risk-off selling pressure, since gas fee demand from 150,000 AI agents generates continuous real-time BNB demand that is independent of speculative sentiment.
The 35th quarterly BNB burn executed on April 15 removed 2.14 million BNB worth approximately $1.32 billion from circulation. With over 150,000 AI agents generating ongoing gas fee demand, each quarterly burn calculation now incorporates AI-driven transaction volume as a growing component of the supply destruction formula.

The Solana memecoin launchpad will now split revenue evenly between buybacks and operations, replacing a nine-month policy that funneled every dollar into burning $PUMP Solana-based token issuance launchpad Pump.fun has, to date, run a simple model: every dollar of revenue has gone toward buying and burning its own token. In theory, the constant supply reduction was supposed to steadily prop up PUMP's price and align the token's value with the platform's success.
But that model is now history after a review of the previous 100% buyback showed it wasn't fully working in the company's favor.
The firm said in an X post

that it would shift to a 50/50 split, in which half of all future net revenue from the Pump.fun bonding curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal, the company's three core products, flows into an irreversible smart contract that automatically buys PUMP on the open market and burns it for the next year.
The other half stays with the company for product investment, hiring, marketing, and potential acquisitions. The previous policy was to allocate 100% of revenue to buybacks.

Pump said it had burned all PUMP tokens it had bought back from the open market over the past nine months, or roughly 36% of that token's circulating supply, in two transactions on Solana.
Burn refers to the permanent removal of tokens from circulation, usually by sending them to a crypto wallet address not controlled or held by anyone. PUMP's burn announcement is one of the largest single-event supply reductions in crypto history by share of circulating tokens.

Co-founder Alon Cohen explained the change in a follow-up post on X, arguing the business needs the other half of revenue for product investment, hiring, marketing, and potential acquisitions, to keep Pump.fun alive for "decades to come."
Part of the reason the move was necessary is the price chart.

Bitcoin trading volume has fallen below $8 billion, the lowest since October 2023, leaving the market more vulnerable to sharp moves as liquidity and market depth thin.

Options markets are pricing in calm even as the Federal Reserve’s policy statement and surging energy prices threaten to inject macro-driven volatility into bitcoin and other risk assets.
Bitcoin is hovering around $77,800 with gains across major cryptocurrencies, while rising Treasury yields tied to higher oil prices pose a growing risk to financial markets, including crypto.
Even as calls for $BTC to rally further are growing, participation in the spot market is cooling, leaving the door open for erratic price action.

Trading volume, the dollar value of $BTC changing hands in a day, has recently dropped to less than $8 billion, according to Glassnode. That's the lowest since October 2023, when bitcoin was less than $40,000. Volume has been declining since hitting highs above $25 billion in early February.
"Such low volume environments often coincide with reduced market depth and heightened sensitivity to flow shifts," Glassnode said.
Market depth, typically measured by looking at buy and sell orders within 2% of the current price, is widely used to assess liquidity, or the ability of the market to absorb large orders at stable prices.
When market depth shrinks, it means a few large orders can move prices significantly. In other words, the declining volume might end up boosting market volatility, though options traders do not seem to be considering that scenario for now.
Volmex's BVIV index, which measures BTC's expected 30-day price swings, has dropped to three-month lows below an annualized 42%. Clearly, traders are positioned for calm, not turmoil.
It's notable, especially because the Fed sets interest rates later today. Nobody expects a change; attention will focus on what the policy statement has to say about energy-market disruptions and rising prices at gas stations. A hawkish statement, expressing alarm over growth and inflation risks, could mean a prolonged pause in rate reductions, and even possible rate increases, capping gains in risk assets.
This is an excerpt from CoinDesk newsletter 'Daybook.' .

"Bitcoin is sitting around 77k and trading like a market that does not want to commit ahead of the Fed. The tape is calm on the surface, but it is not relaxed. Positioning is cautious, liquidity is thinner, and the next impulse is more likely to come from macro than anything crypto-native," Marex analysts said in a morning note.
"The big macro curveball is energy politics. If energy becomes less predictable, risk assets stay headline-sensitive," they said, noting the UAE's Tuesday decision to leave OPEC and OPEC+.
BTC recently changed hands near $77,800, up over 1% in 24 hours, with ether (ETH), solana (SOL), and XRP adding similar amounts. The CoinDesk Memecoin Index is leading the market higher, with 3% gains, followed by the Computing Select Index, which is up 2.7%.
In traditional markets, the Dollar Index, which is inversely related to bitcoin's price, continues to stay below 100, lacking bullish momentum. However, yields on the 10- and two-year U.S. Treasury notes continue to rise, albeit slowly. Stay alert!
