ARKB Leads the Losses for Bitcoin ETFs

Only Grayscale Mini Bitcoin ETF (BTC) saw inflows from among BTC’s eleven ETFs. Notedly, it witnessed about $2.7 million in profits. Worryingly, seven recorded zero activities, while only three incurred losses. ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) recorded the highest decline, with $43.4 million in net outflows. Grayscale Bitcoin ETF (GBTC) and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) followed closely with $8.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Despite the net outflows recorded, most cumulative variables appeared slightly affected, considering the volume of the previous inflow. However, Bitcoin ETFs continue to trail the $1.2 billion losses recorded from the previous week as they have yet to recover even 50%.

For context, Bitcoin ETF cumulative net inflow read approximately $17.44 billion. The total value traded was $1.63 billion, while total net assets reflected $54.85 billion. Interestingly, the total net assets value represented 4.61% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization.

Ethereum ETFs Record Activities from Only Two Entities

Ethereum ETFs saw inflows from only BlackRock Ethereum ETF (ETHA), with approximately $4.9 million in profits. On the other hand, Grayscale Ethereum ETF (ETHE) witnessed the only outflows at roughly $14.7 million. According to SosoValue’s statistics, Ethereum ETFs’ cumulative netflow continues to plunge in losses of about $615.58 million. The total value traded reflected $221.88 million, while total net assets were $6.3 billion.

Bitcoin Price Soars Slightly Amid Latest ETFs Net Outflows

Contrary to expectations from the ETF losses, Bitcoin recorded price upswings, mirroring the general crypto market that is up by about 1.9% with a $2.2 trillion valuation. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is changing hands at approximately $62,000, reflecting a 2.8% upswing from the previous day.

In the past 24 hours, BTC saw minimum and maximum prices fluctuating between $59,212.14 – $62,508.63. Therefore, it highlights the gradual rebound from the previous day, which reflected levels around $61,000 as its 24-hour interval peak.

Bitcoin’s 24-hour trading volume registered an above 10% upswing, with a $47.4 billion valuation. While it is safe to assert that Bitcoin market actions were promising despite the ETF losses, chances abound that the United States Federal Reserve’s decision to slash rates by 50 basis points could influence the remarkable run.
