ETFs Experience Fifth Consecutive Day of Outflows
As the bitcoin halving approaches, the U.S. spot ETF market sees a significant drop in inflows, with major funds like GBTC and IBIT reporting decreased investment.
- Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded a five-day net outflow totaling $319 million, with Grayscale's GBTC leading the withdrawals.
- BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC saw inflows, but overall market demand has slowed significantly.
- The upcoming bitcoin halving, which will reduce block rewards by 50%, is expected to impact market dynamics.
- Geopolitical tensions and a dip in bitcoin prices below $60,000 have contributed to the market's volatility.
- Despite recent outflows, the U.S. spot bitcoin ETF market has attracted significant investment since January, totaling $12.3 billion in net inflows.
