Analysis: Bitcoin CEX Net Inflow Continues to Raise Questions, Possibly Signaling a Lack of Sustained Selling Pressure

2 hours ago

On January 21, CryptoQuant analyst XWIN noted that the Trump administration has once again advanced its tariff policy—a development that has been a clear headwind for Bitcoin since 2025. Tariff policies directly impact corporate profits, inflation, and monetary policy expectations, eroding overall risk appetite and leaving risk assets—including Bitcoin—more exposed to pullback shocks. The impact of economic risks on Bitcoin is quickly evident as investor behavior adjusts rapidly. With growing uncertainty around economic growth and interest rate outlooks, investors tend to trim short-term risk exposure. In this scenario, Bitcoin is often viewed as a liquid asset that can be temporarily sold to reduce portfolio risk—rather than a long-term store of value. CEX net flows offer a complementary lens. During the adjustment phase, a brief uptick in CEX inflows has been observed, aligning with temporary position adjustments. However, these inflows haven’t persisted, indicating a lack of sustained structural selling pressure.

Mainstream Cryptocurrencies Experience Another Downturn, Exchange Funding Rates Turn Sharply Bearish

Evening of January 21 — Mainstream cryptocurrencies slid again, with Bitcoin briefly dropping more than 0.5% and moving closer to its previous lows. Ethereum fell over 1%, holding precariously above the $2,900 mark. According to Coinglass data, current funding rates across centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges reflect a market-wide bearish sentiment toward Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
