Bitcoin ETF Sees Five Consecutive Days of Net Outflows
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
- BlackRock IBIT: $18.9 million
- Fidelity FBTC: $18.1 million
- Bitwise BITB: $16.3 million
- ARK Investment ARKB: $5.4 million
- Invesco BTCO: $4.5 million
It is worth noting that BlackRock IBIT only had net inflows of $18.9 million on that day, the lowest net inflow since March, showing a significant change in fund flow.
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.
