According to Galaxy Research data, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded a net outflow of $6.35 billion over the past 30 trading days, marking the largest 30-day capital outflow since their launch in January 2024. Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows for six consecutive weeks, with cumulative net inflows falling back to $53.4 billion. The Bitcoin price has dropped approximately 17% in the past month, currently at $64,167. A BlackRock spokesperson noted that ETF fund flows are affected by multiple factors and that daily or short-term outflows do not necessarily indicate a change in long-term trends.

BlockBeats News, June 21st - Ben Goertzel, Chairman of the AGI Association and Chief Scientist of Sophia the Robot, stated that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is "too important to be controlled by venture capital or a few tech companies," and advocated for building an open, decentralized AGI ecosystem through a blockchain network to replace closed-model paths like OpenAI and Anthropic. Goertzel is advancing this initiative through his project SingularityNET and the "Artificial General Intelligence Alliance," which operates on a cryptographic network designed to allow AI capabilities to be collectively owned and maintained by users worldwide. He emphasized that open-source code alone is not sufficient; AGI must run on a distributed infrastructure to avoid control by a few computing powerhouses. He proposed the concept of an "AI Agent Economy," where users can deploy multiple AI agents to collaborate on tasks and execute transactions. The future system will offer paid AI services and maintain a decentralized backend architecture while hiding the blockchain's underlying structure from end-users. Goertzel forecasted that AGI may emerge between 2027 and 2030 and warned that if technological development remains concentrated in a few countries or companies, it could exacerbate global inequality. He stated that his first AI agent product, Omega Claw, will be released soon.
