Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF hits $1.6b outflows hours before halving
Grayscale’s spot Bitcoin ETF continued a five-day outflow sprint leading to the halving, a code change that occurs every four years to help maintain BTC scarcity. Data gathered by SoSoValue showed $89.9 million in Grayscale exits, bringing GBTC’s total net outflows to $1.6 billion since trading opened back in January.
For all 10 spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs, cumulative outflows were recorded as $4.3 million, as Fidelity and BlackRock garnered demand to offset some of GBTC’s liquidations. Fidelity’s FBTC net inflows came in at $37.3 million, outpacing $18.7 million, boasted BlackRock’s IBIT.
April 18 marked a rare occurrence where BlackRock was outclassed by a competitor for inflows in the spot BTC ETF market.

Arkansas State House passes bills to limit cryptocurrency mining
The Arkansas State House has approved two bills that could see a ban on crypto mining activities within the state.
At present, the bills are still under consideration and have yet to progress to full-fledged legislation; they establish the framework for further discussions leading to potential legislation.
On April 17, senators held a Senate hearing to discuss general concerns such as noise reduction, foreign ownership, and the closeness of cryptocurrency mining to residential areas.
Two of the eight bills that were introduced to the House on April 17 were successfully enacted, whereas the Senate approved only one bill pertaining to cryptocurrencies last week.
There is a lot of disagreement over whether Act 851 should be revised and how much detail those revisions should include. The committees will discuss the issue before potentially approving legislation during the current fiscal session or the following one.
According to the bill, the Arkansas Data Centers Act of 2023 aims to regulate the Bitcoin mining business in the American state by defining rules for miners and safeguarding them from discriminatory restrictions and taxes.
Bitcoin mining’s lengthy and energy-intensive operation is being criticized for the waste it generates. According to Investopedia, bitcoin mining generates more than 77 kilotons of electrical waste per year.
Crypto mining also poses legal issues outside of the U.S. Paraguay senators submitted a bill to temporarily outlaw crypto mining and associated activities in the South American country, claiming that illegal crypto mines are stealing power and disrupting the electrical supply.
The proposed legislation seeks to restrict the installation of crypto mining facilities as well as operations involving the creation, preservation, storage, and trading of cryptocurrency.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF draws $73m amid sluggish market
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF was the only spot Bitcoin fund in the United States to record inflows on Monday, setting it apart from other ETFs that reported no inflows or experienced outflows.
According to data from Farside Investors, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded net inflows of $73.4 million on April 15, albeit a decrease from the $111.1 million observed the previous day.
This contrasted sharply with the other eight ETFs, which, aside from Grayscale’s offering, reported no inflows during the same period.
The inflows into IBIT were unable to counterbalance the significant outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which saw $110.1 million leave on April 15, reducing from the $166.2 million outflows recorded on April 14.
A group involved in blockchain fraud has moved $1 million to Blast for new fraudulent schemes

Additionally, they are possibly involved in the ZebraLending project on Base, with a TVL of $311K.
Coinbase seeks interim appeal in SEC case over crypto classification
Coinbase has filed a motion in federal court seeking permission to pursue an interlocutory appeal regarding a recent ruling concerning investment contracts. The crypto exchange’s appeal focuses on whether a digital asset transaction, which does not involve any obligations to the original issuer of the asset, should be considered an investment contract regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In March, Judge Katherine Failla denied Coinbase’s motion to dismiss the SEC’s case against it. In her decision, she referenced an opinion from a judgment involving the defunct crypto company Terra, suggesting that certain digital assets could be deemed investment contracts under the Howey Test, especially if they are part of a broader ecosystem.
The Howey test is a legal standard used to determine whether certain transactions qualify as investment contracts. Coinbase views its application to digital assets as a pivotal legal question, especially given conflicting opinions from different judges. This disagreement, Coinbase argues, meets the criteria for a controlling question of law, a crucial factor in securing an interlocutory appeal.
As Fox journalist Eleanor Terrett noted on Friday, April 12, interlocutory appeals are typically challenging to obtain before a final judgment is rendered.
The SEC itself faced difficulties when it attempted a similar appeal in the Ripple case last July, disputing Judge Analisa Torres’s ruling on secondary market token sales.
However, despite the low likelihood of success for interlocutory appeals like the one Coinbase is filing, they can have significant implications if approved. If the appeals process moves forward, the industry could be closer to potential clarifications from higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
