Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) See Positive Inflows for the First Time in Three Days! While Ethereum ETFs saw net outflows. This dynamic reflects the contrasting movements of investors in the two major cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin ETFs are reversing the trend! Ethereum in trouble
On August 7, Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $45.1 million, reversing a three-day trend of outflows totaling $554.4 million. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led those inflows with $52.5 million. WisdomTree’s BTCW followed with $10.5 million, posting the largest net inflow to date. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $9.7 million, while Bitwise’s BITB fund saw a net inflow of $3 million. Conversely, Grayscale’s GBTC fund was the only bitcoin ETF to see net outflows, with withdrawals of $30.6 million.
As for Ethereum, ETFs suffered a net outflow of $23.68 million on the same day after two consecutive days of inflows. Withdrawals were mainly dominated by Grayscale’s ETHE fund with a withdrawal of $31.9 million. Since its launch, the ETHE fund has accumulated a total of $2.23 billion in net outflows. Other funds, such as Fidelity’s FETH, saw net inflows of $4.7 million. Bitwise’s ETHW fund and Franklin Templeton’s EZET funds attracted net inflows of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
The crypto market is slowly recovering from the crisis!
These fund moves coincide with a broader recovery in the crypto market, which continues to recover from the August 5 plunge. This is supported by fears of a possible recession in the United States, the policy of the Federal Reserve and instability in the Japanese markets. Bitcoin is currently up 1% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $57,379. While Ethereum is down 42.9% over the same period, it is currently trading at $2,426.
Bitcoin ETFs are showing signs of recovery with positive inflows, while Ethereum ETFs continue to face net outflows. These trends reflect diverging investor sentiments towards these two major digital assets amid heightened volatility that sent Bitcoin down 16%!
