In recent months, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been a hot topic in the world of finance, with billions of dollars flowing into these products. However, a recent shift in investor sentiment has led to a notable change in this trend.
According to data from Farside Investors, investors withdrew approximately $218 million from Bitcoin ETFs yesterday. This significant cash outflow comes at a pivotal moment, coinciding with a federal economic report indicating slower-than-expected growth in the American economy during the first quarter. The prospect of high interest rates, following recent increases by the Federal Reserve to combat inflation, has dampened enthusiasm for risk-on assets like Bitcoin.
In January, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved 11 Bitcoin ETFs, allowing investors to access the cryptocurrency market through traditional brokerage accounts. However, after a continuous influx of funds lasting 71 days, yesterday marked a significant change, with no new investments entering IBIT. The decline in Bitcoin ETFs is mirrored by a downturn in the price of Bitcoin itself. Currently trading at $62,313, Bitcoin has experienced a 2.62% decrease in the past 24 hours and a 5.27% decline over the past week. Furthermore, it is down 15.16% from its all-time high of $73,750 reached on March 14, 2024.
