Bitcoin ETF Ends Nine Consecutive Days of Net Inflows, Market Adopts Wait-and-See Approach Ahead of Federal Reserve FOMC Meeting

2026.04.28 19:09:33

April 28: Bitcoin slipped below $77,000, while the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF posted a net outflow of $263.2 million on April 27—snapping a nine-day inflow streak—just days ahead of this week’s Fed FOMC meeting. The pullback added a note of caution to Bitcoin’s resilient April rebound: the token fell today but remains up ~15% month-to-date, having hit an April high of $79k. The ETF inflow momentum pause matters because it lands amid a packed macro week, with markets digesting Fed developments, fresh inflation worries, GDP data, a slate of big tech earnings, and rate decisions from European/Asian central banks. BRN Research Director Timothy Misir noted the crypto market started the week on an encouraging note—but crosscurrents are muddling a clear risk-on signal. He cited investor “war fatigue” over the Middle East, while global central banks juggle supply-driven inflation alongside fading confidence, mixed data, and uneven recoveries. Glassnode echoed this in its latest Weekly Pulse report, with analysts saying Bitcoin sits in a “bullish but cautious consolidation” phase: strong buying pressure is offset by lighter speculative activity and lower trading volumes. QCP Capital says Bitcoin’s strong April rebound keeps its overall outlook constructive. But the firm sees $82k as a key resistance level, with a nearby CME gap the next major test. GSR Asset Management MD Andy Baehr calls price action “gradually upward,” noting $80k remains a critical psychological level.

UBS: Global AI sector capital expenditure will rise to $1.4 trillion by 2027, with 90% of the increase driven by memory price hikes.

UBS currently forecasts that global artificial intelligence (AI) capital expenditure will reach nearly $1 trillion in 2026, and climb further to around $1.4 trillion in 2027, with a sharp surge in memory costs being the primary driver of this growth. UBS estimates that memory-related spending will jump from $71 billion in 2025 to $367 billion this year, and hit $923 billion in 2027. The remaining AI-related costs are projected to total $631 billion in 2026, before falling to $525 billion in 2027. This means that the rise in memory costs will contribute roughly 60% of the total increase in AI capital expenditure this year; by 2027, as spending on other components declines, the growth in memory costs will even exceed the entire net increase in AI capital expenditure.

Peter Schiff: SEC’s Innovation Exemption for Tokenized Stocks Is Bad for Bitcoin

Longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff argued in a post that Bitcoin’s sharp surge following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s announcement on tokenized stocks is meaningless. In reality, this news is bearish for Bitcoin, as the cryptocurrency now has to compete with tokenized securities. Tokens backed by profitable, dividend-paying companies hold an advantage over asset-less tokens in terms of digital ownership, and are also more reliable stores of value. Tokenized stocks offer all the conveniences of Bitcoin while eliminating the risk of a decentralized Ponzi scheme collapse.
