$1.04 billion Bitcoin stun crypto exchanges, What's happening?

According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, last week, Bitcoin experienceda significant shift, with $1.04 billion in net inflows to exchanges. As seen in the platform'sX post, Bitcoin's total fees decreased 10.74% to $3.2 million, while $1.04 billion accounted for exchange flows, with $1.3 billion marking inflows. This influx indicates a potential increase in selling pressure, as traders move assets to exchanges for selling purposes amid ongoing market hesitancy due to macroeconomic uncertainties. The reversal from previous outflows sparked speculation about a possible price shift for Bitcoin, which has seen little movement in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Bitcoin sees an increase in institutional interest; according to CNBC, video-game-retailer-turned-meme-stock GameStop is considering investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
