BlockBeats News, on April 17, crypto market analyst Axel published a report stating that since early 2026, capital has continued to flow out of the Bitcoin network, the realized market cap has continued to decline, and the market cap growth rate has never turned positive. The current 30-day realized market cap change remains negative (-0.32%), but has narrowed compared to -0.54% at the beginning of April. Outflows have slowed, but a reversal has not yet been confirmed.
