- US daily spot Bitcoin ETF outflows recorded at $34.4 million today, significantly lower than Wednesday’s outflows above $563 million.
- Despite the broad negative flow, notable entries were observed in the Ark 21Shares BTC ETF (ARKB).
- BlackRock’s IBIT BTC ETF again recorded zero flow, reflecting the movement of Fidelity’s FBTC.
Despite significant outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, the crypto market shows resilience with Bitcoin’s price nearing $60,000 and Ethereum crossing $3,000.
Bitcoin Price Shows Mild Recovery
The cryptocurrency market witnessed flexibility with the price of Bitcoin rising from $56,500 to $60,000. Despite outflow concerns, it showed underlying support. This price recovery reflects the continued investor confidence in BTC’s long-term expectations, despite short-term fluctuations. Additionally, Ethereum (ETH) surpassed $3,000, and other altcoins also made notable gains.
Contrasting Trends in ETF Outflows
Contrary to the outflow trend in ETFs, the Hong Kong ETF market painted a different picture with an entry of $248 million. Particularly, these ETFs allow in-kind contributions, offering the possibility of direct Bitcoin investment instead of relying solely on market purchases. This unique feature provides flexibility to investors and potentially contributes to the increasing popularity of crypto ETFs.
Increased Institutional Interest in Crypto
Furthermore, news of BNP Paribas from Europe investing in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF boosted investor confidence. Although the bank invested a relatively low amount of $41,684 in IBIT, it signals increasing institutional interest and positive exposure to the crypto market.
Conclusion
Despite significant outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, the crypto market shows resilience with Bitcoin’s price nearing $60,000 and Ethereum crossing $3,000. The contrasting trends in ETF outflows and the increased institutional interest in crypto indicate the market’s potential for growth and stability.
