As a seasoned analyst with decades of experience navigating volatile markets, I find myself cautiously optimistic amidst this recent pullback in the US Spot Bitcoin ETF market. The significant outflows recorded by heavyweights like BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) and Fidelity’s FBTC are undeniably concerning, but they should not be taken as a definitive sign of a bearish trend.
This week, the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF halted its 16-day streak of inflows due to a significant drop in the crypto market. At the same time, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) experienced its largest outflow since its launch, causing worry among investors. Meanwhile, Fidelity’s FBTC also saw a substantial decrease earlier this week, suggesting that investors are less willing to take on risks.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Records Largest Outflow Ever
The drop in cryptocurrency prices has caused investors to become more cautious, as seen by the decline in digital assets. This week, even the US Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows following the recent Bitcoin price fall, ending a 16-day streak of inflows on December 18th.
On Friday, December 20th, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw its largest withdrawal of approximately $72.7 million, according to Farside Investors’ data. This follows a significant outflow of $208.5 million from Fidelity’s FBTC the previous day, which marks its biggest withdrawal since the products were introduced in the US on January 2024. In total, US Spot BTC ETFs experienced an outflow of approximately $671.9 million on December 19th and another $277 million on December 20th.
This year, Bitcoin has experienced a strong surge, particularly following Donald Trump’s election victory in November. It recently reached a record high of $108K, driven by optimism surrounding the US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. Similarly, other global powers, such as Europe, have suggested a similar strategy could be on the horizon.
At the same time, corporations have stepped up their interest in Bitcoin as an investment option. For instance, MicroStrategy has persisted with its strategy of purchasing Bitcoin, a move that showcases its growing trust in the asset. Furthermore, mining companies such as MARA, Hut 8, and others have also amassed large amounts of Bitcoin. However, it’s worth noting that recent withdrawals from BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF and similar ones seem to have affected investor optimism.
