💸 Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF funds continue to flow out, where will the market go next?
In recent weeks, the cryptocurrency market has been somewhat "chilly", especially with the significant outflow of funds related to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF investment derivatives. Why has the market encountered such a severe setback, and what exactly has happened behind the scenes?
According to a report from CoinShares, last week alone, over $1.2 billion flowed out of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs globally, and when combined with other digital asset products, the total outflow reached $1.7 billion. Over the past five weeks, the total outflow has exceeded $6.4 billion!
The U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF market is particularly hard hit, with an outflow of $978 million last week. BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC are the "fastest runners", with outflows of $401 million and $317 million, respectively. Although these funds occasionally see inflows, they are completely outpaced by the outflow rate. According to CoinGlass data, among the five trading days last week, there was inflow only on one day, while the rest were experiencing "blood loss".
The situation for Ethereum ETFs is also not optimistic. Since March 5, funds have been flowing out, with an outflow of $178 million last week. BlackRock's ETHA and Fidelity's FETH are the "leaders", achieving outflows of $63 million and $61 million, respectively, in a single week. Although there were two days of inflows for Ethereum ETFs last week, the amount of each inflow was less than $1.5 million, which completely fails to offset the outflow pressure.
However, the outflow of funds has also contributed to the continued slump in the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin is currently struggling to approach the 200-day moving average (around $84,200), while Ethereum is hovering around $1,900.
Additionally, a report from CoinShares pointed out that the combination of fund outflows and price declines has led to a reduction of $48 billion in total assets under management for crypto investment products.
In summary, the continuous outflow of funds and price declines over the past few weeks have plunged the cryptocurrency market into a slump. Although there are occasional "sparks" of inflow, the overall trend remains pessimistic.
Why is the market like this, and when will it warm up? Do you think this is a temporary market adjustment, or a precursor to a larger storm? Leave your thoughts in the comments for discussion!
