Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline, pressured by increasing ETF outflows

PI price hovers around $0.1300 at press time on Thursday, reflecting a mild rebound from the $0.1186 record low reached earlier on the day. Deposits totaling roughly 1 million PI tokens on exchanges over the last 24 hours suggest waning investor confidence amid a broader market risk-off sentiment.

Bitcoin (BTC) remains under pressure, trading below $74,000 on Friday, and is set to post its third consecutive week of losses. The institutional sell-off continues, with spot BTC Exchange-Traded funds (ETFs) recording billions in outflows.
