US Spot Bitcoin ETF Recorded $545 Million Outflow
The latest data from Farside Investors shows that the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a notable outflow of $545 million this week, reflecting growing investor caution. Notably, Bitcoin price also stayed in the red despite a brief recovery over the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the outflows highlight a prevailing bearish sentiment in the market. Notably, the outflows occurred over four trading days due to the Juneteenth holiday, with the lowest single-day outflow recorded on Friday, June 21, at $105.9 million.
Leading the June 21 outflows was Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw an exodus of $44.8 million. Following closely were Grayscale’s GBTC and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), with outflows of $34.2 million and $28.8 million, respectively. These figures underscore a broad trend of reduced investor confidence across multiple major ETFs.
Meanwhile, this significant withdrawal of funds from Bitcoin ETFs has raised alarms among market analysts and investors. The outflows come at a time when Bitcoin’s trading volume and price have shown signs of weakness, adding to the uncertainty about its short-term outlook. The market’s reaction to these outflows could be a precursor to further price declines, as investor sentiment wavers.
