According to Santiment (@santimentfeed), recent social data across X, Reddit, Telegram, 4Chan, BitcoinTalk, and Farcaster shows a significant shift in crypto market sentiment. Discussions about tariffs and Trump have dropped, while mentions of AI agents and 'altseason' have surged. ETF and Real World Assets (RWA) topics also saw moderate increases. This shift suggests traders are focusing more on emerging crypto narratives such as AI integration and altcoin rallies, which could signal increased trading volumes and volatility in these sectors (Source: Santiment, May 7, 2025).

According to Farside Investors (@FarsideUK), BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF saw a significant daily inflow of $531.2 million, indicating strong institutional buying interest. This surge in ETF flows is a bullish signal, often correlating with upward price momentum for Bitcoin and increased market liquidity. Active traders should monitor these ETF flow trends for potential entry and exit points, as large inflows historically precede short-term price rallies (source: Farside Investors, May 6, 2025).
