Cointelegraph recently reported that spot Bitcoin ETFs are on its way to potentially surpassing its monthly inflow record of $6.49 billion from November 2024. So far in May, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated approximately $5.39 billion, with five trading days remaining in May.

Meanwhile, several analysts recently suggested that Bitcoin is not showing any signs of overheating despite reaching new all-time highs this week, pointing to fundamentals suggesting that Bitcoin could rise further.

CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan said on May 22, “Overheating indicators such as the funding rate and short-term capital inflow remain low compared to previous peaks, and profit-taking by short-term investors is limited.”
