Bitcoin ETFs Expect$ 400 Million Outflow from US Prices Problems to Surg.

Following a 6-day winning streak, BTC recorded more than$ 4.7 billion in outflows on Thursday, helping to set new records for Bitcoin ETFs.

The withdrawals were uneven—as if often the case. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ( IBIT ) took in$ 125 million and the VanEck Bitcoin ETF ( HODL ) saw$ 2.5 million on Thursday, according to CoinGlass data.

Meanwhile every other fund in the category, including the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund ( FBTC ), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF ( ARKB), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF ( BITB), and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ( GBTC ) and Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF ( BTC ), saw a combined outflow of$ 530 million.

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price appears to have been rangebound and has been trading sideways since rising as high as$ 93, 477.11 on Wednesday—the first time it’s ever risen above$ 93, 000.

But then it’s been stuck trading at or slightly below$ 90, 000 since then. In fact, it resulted in the liquidation of$ 444 million worth of derivatives contracts that were betting on BTC rising.

New financial information released in the United States earlier this year, which has stifled hopes that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates once more, have helped Bitcoin prices.

This year, according to BRN scientist Valentin Fournier, the number of investors who believe the regulators will continue to regulate interest rates is rising.

” Although the numbers met investment objectives, it remains a difficult signal for the Federal Reserve. He wrote in a statement shared with that this information makes the Fed’s plan to cut interest charges for the next day in December complicated. According to CME data, “investor expectations for rates to remain unchanged have increased to 40 % from 25 % before the inflation reports were released.”

The CME FedWatch Tool now shows a rise in the percentage of buyers anticipating the Fed keeping interest costs the same in December, up 41.3 %.

However, BRN remains convinced that BTC will reach$ 100, 000 in the upcoming month despite the decline in institutional funds from Bitcoin ETFs and the so-so inflationary news from U.S. companies.

” Although a short-term fall is possible, we expect buyers to see this as an attractive access option, injecting fresh liquidity”, Fournier wrote. ” Tuesday’s election’s strong catalyst will continue to have a very positive effects, especially in Q1 2025, when his first steps as president had set off a really strong uppour for a long bull business.”
