Bitcoin Futures Premium Craters Despite Surging ETF Demand – What Traders Are Missing

Wall Street's crypto love affair hits a snag as futures markets flash warning signs.

The disconnect: Bitcoin ETF inflows keep breaking records while futures traders bail. Someone's wrong—and it's probably the guys using 100x leverage.

Market mechanics 101: When the futures premium (that juicy contango traders love) evaporates, it screams one thing: institutional skepticism. Even as retail piles into ETFs like it's 2021 all over again.

The irony: BlackRock's Bitcoin fund now holds more BTC than MicroStrategy. The 'uncorrelated asset' crowd won't like what comes next when traditional finance fully absorbs crypto's volatility.

Pro tip: When futures traders and ETF investors disagree, grab popcorn. And maybe some downside protection—your portofolio will thank you by Q3.
