Bitcoin ETFs have experienced notable turbulence amidst the broader crypto market's volatility, with outflows reaching $287 million this week, according to recent data.
The flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, saw its price drop to around $94,000, fueling concerns about institutional interest and future price movement.
Key statistics show Fidelity’s FBTC leading outflows at $208.2 million, followed by Ark Invest’s ARKB at $112.6 million, and Bitwise’s BITB at $36 million. Despite these outflows, BlackRock’s IBIT bucked the trend with inflows of $79.4 million, highlighting mixed sentiment among institutional investors.
Contrasting reports suggest that BTC ETFs recently recorded $450 million in inflows, hinting at a potential recovery. Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations align with the Federal Reserve’s cautious stance on interest rates, creating a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Meanwhile, optimism for Bitcoin’s long-term potential remains strong. Notably, Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, predicts BTC could reach $350K by 2025. Despite current volatility, whale investors are reportedly capitalizing on the dip, further signaling confidence in Bitcoin’s future growth.
Despite a rocky year for global markets, Presto’s head of research, Peter Chung, remains unfazed about Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
Bitcoin started the week strong, climbing past $94,000 and nearing the $95,000 mark, just as the market braces for important U.S. economic data.
Bitcoin’s price might be soaring, but public curiosity isn’t keeping up. According to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, despite Bitcoin reaching around $90,000, interest in the cryptocurrency — as measured by Google search trends — has stayed surprisingly low.
Bitcoin miner activity has hit a notable low point, according to the latest analysis from crypto research firm Alphractal.
