This wave of activity coincides with Bitcoin\u2019s eleventh straight day above the $100,000 mark, reviving confidence in crypto-linked equity products.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the renewed interest is the comeback of \u201cbasis trading\u201d\u2014a market-neutral strategy where investors go long on spot ETFs while shorting CME Bitcoin futures to profit from the price gap. The annualized yield on this trade has nearly doubled to around 9%, after bottoming near 4.5% in April. That return, analysts say, is once again drawing professional capital into the space.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoin-market-patterns-suggest-another-consolidation-phase-may-be-near\/\" title=\"Bitcoin Market Patterns Suggest Another Consolidation Phase May Be Near\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/bitcoinbtcbitcoin-1-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin Market Patterns Suggest Another Consolidation Phase May Be Near<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cYields are back at levels that attract institutional money,\u201d noted analyst James Van Straten, calling it a clear pivot from the uncertainty seen just a month ago.<\/p>\n<p>CME Bitcoin futures volume echoed that sentiment, climbing to $8.4 billion\u2014the highest since late April. Open interest rose sharply as well, climbing over 30,000 contracts since last month\u2019s lows to reach 158,000 BTC, according to Velo.<\/p>\n<p>Though both metrics still lag behind January\u2019s highs\u2014when Bitcoin broke its previous record at $109,000\u2014the recent momentum signals renewed appetite from traders who had previously exited. For instance, filings show that the Wisconsin State Retirement Board offloaded its Bitcoin ETF positions earlier this year, likely due to unattractive arbitrage spreads at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with those spreads widening again, analysts say the stage is set for more institutional players to re-enter the market in Q2, chasing yield in a reinvigorated arbitrage landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After weeks of tepid action, demand for U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs surged on Monday, with net inflows reaching $667.4
