Bitcoin ETF sees net outflows for a consecutive week, Bloomberg analyst attributes it to Genesis selling spot cash.

The net outflow of Bitcoin spot ETF has been continuous for five days. At the close of the US stock market on Friday, the net outflow of funds from the Bitcoin spot ETF was approximately $51.6 million, but the outflow volume has decreased significantly compared to the previous days. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas stated that the net outflow comes from Genesis selling spot BTC, which has little impact on the trading market.

According to data from Farside Investors source, the net outflows for Bitcoin spot ETF decreased to $51.6 million on March 22, compared to a continuous decrease in net outflows on other trading days this week, with Tuesday seeing net outflows of $320 million.

The net outflows for Bitcoin ETF have narrowed for four consecutive days, Bloomberg analysts predict: the worst scenario is about to end

Among them, GBTC continues to see outflows, with net outflows of $170 million on that day. The performance of other ETFs is as follows:

  • Franklin EZBC: $29.6 million
  • Valkyrie BRRR: $25.5 million

  • Fidelity FBTC: $18.1 million
  • Bitwise BITB: $16.3 million
  • ARK Investment ARKB: $5.4 million

Bloomberg Analyst: Optimistic Outlook

Bloomberg analyst Eric stated that in the past five days, net inflows for other spot ETFs except for GBTC were around $120 million, with prices dropping by 8%. Although GBTC continues to see net outflows, the main reason behind it is that Genesis is converting GBTC shares into spot BTC, which should be considered a neutral event with less impact on the market.

Therefore, Eric believes that the ETF market has always been a net buyer of Bitcoin, and the new buyers are the stronger ones, as behind the selling pressure there are other buyers waiting.
