๐Ÿš€ Ondo Explores Challenges in Stock Perpetuals

Stock perpetuals have faced persistent challenges, according to PANews. Ondo, a financial services company, has identified a three-layered structural explanation for these difficulties.

The first issue is the inherent complexity of stock perpetuals, which can deter potential investors. Unlike traditional stock investments, perpetuals require a deeper understanding of financial derivatives, making them less accessible to the average investor.

Secondly, the market infrastructure for stock perpetuals is not as developed as that for other financial instruments. This lack of infrastructure can lead to inefficiencies and increased costs, further discouraging participation.

Lastly, regulatory uncertainties surrounding stock perpetuals contribute to their underperformance. The evolving nature of financial regulations can create an unpredictable environment, making it challenging for investors to commit to these instruments.

Ondo's analysis highlights the need for improved education, infrastructure, and regulatory clarity to enhance the performance and adoption of stock perpetuals.

๐Ÿš€ BlackRock's Bitcoin Trust Sees Significant Inflows Amid Market Dynamics

Investors directed $269.3 million into BlackRockโ€™s iShares Bitcoin Trust on Thursday, marking its most successful day since early March, coinciding with the escalation of the US-Iran conflict. According to Cointelegraph, this influx helped reverse two days of net outflows among the 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, culminating in a net inflow of $358.1 million. Bitcoin ETF inflows serve as a measure of both retail and institutional interest in Bitcoin.

The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed with $53.3 million in inflows, while the newly launched Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) contributed $14.9 million on its second trading day, as reported by Farside Investors. Bitwise and ARK 21Shares' Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of $11.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, while Franklin Templeton and VanEckโ€™s Bitcoin products recorded around $2 million. Since March 23, BlackRockโ€™s IBIT has accumulated $1.5 billion in net inflows, despite a broader crypto market downturn that saw Bitcoin's price drop from a 2026 high of $97,000 to $72,100.

Robert Mitchnick, BlackRockโ€™s digital assets head, remarked in March that IBIT investors tend to be "disproportionately long-term buy and hold" investors, even amid significant selling pressure in the Bitcoin market. Meanwhile, Amy Oldenburg, Morgan Stanleyโ€™s digital asset head, highlighted in a Bloomberg interview that MSBT was the bankโ€™s most successful ETF launch to date. She noted, "This is just the first of a long roadmap of new products on the asset management side." Morgan Stanley has also filed to list a staked Ether (ETH) ETF and Solana (SOL) ETF.

With the recent inflows, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are nearing a year-to-date net inflow. The Bitcoin ETFs concluded 2025 with $56.59 billion in net inflows and currently stand at $56.51 billion, just $80 million shy of returning to their initial inflow figures for the year.

๐Ÿš€ Oil Prices Rise Ahead of U.S.-Iran Talks, Remain Below $100 per Barrel

Oil prices have increased but remain below $100 per barrel as the U.S. and Iran prepare for talks this weekend. According to Odaily, Emmanuel Belostrino, head of global crude oil and geopolitical market data at Kpler, stated that the outcome of the negotiations, particularly the possibility of establishing a viable shipping agreement, is crucial to alleviating the current backlog.

During early European trading, both U.S. and Brent crude saw short-term gains, with prices at $99.7 and $97.6 per barrel, respectively.

Additionally, Iran's attack on Saudi Arabia's main export route, the East-West pipeline, has reduced its daily capacity by approximately 700,000 barrels.
