Debuting Spot Bitcoin ETF Experiences Initial Net Outflows

Date:

Fund inflows were nearly non-existent following the bitcoin halving, according to an analyst. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) investors have long been pessimistic. Recent statistics show that Fidelity’s spot bitcoin ETF experienced net outflows of $22.61 million on Thursday, the first day since its launch in January that more money was withdrawn from the fund than deposited. Several other U.S. bitcoin funds also reported daily withdrawals, with a total of $217.58 million leaving the market. Grayscale’s converted ETF saw $139.37 million leave, while Ark Invest and 21Shares’ fund lost $31.34 million. Valkyrie’s fund saw an outflow of $20.16 million, and Bitwise lost $6 million. The only fund with daily net inflows was Franklin Templeton’s EZBC, which gained $1.87 million. On Thursday, the 71-day positive flow streak for BlackRock’s IBIT fund came to an end. However, according to ETF analyst James Seyffart, zero flows are typical. A research report by analyst Hong Song-uk of NH Investment and Securities revealed that fund inflows have been almost non-existent since the bitcoin halving. Hong stated that there are no upcoming events to draw attention to bitcoin in the near future. GBTC investors have been negative for a long time, and this 72-day stretch is the longest in the history of global ETF funds, according to Bloomberg’s Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas. The unexpected withdrawals have continued since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, authorized by the US government. GBTC has been unable to prevent the outflow of funds, possibly due to its high fees compared to its competitors.
