BlackRock’s ETF Leading The BTC’s ETF 7-Day Statistics 

In a different Bitcoin ETFs market actions statistics shared on X by Lookonchain, another digital assets price analytical outlet, the BlackRock ETF topped eight other ETFs in net inflow data across 1-day and 7-day readings.

Per the tweet, nine ETFs recorded a BTC net inflow of approximately 1,228 tokens on May 24, 2024. While the BlackRock ETF registered a 1,321 BTC addition, the net outflow from the Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) with 164 BTC and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust with 243 tokens saw the value drop to the earlier stated 1,228 coins. 

On the 7-day statistics, no net outflows were recorded, as all 9 ETFs registered only inflows. However, only three recorded flows above 1,000 BTC in the positive direction. iShares Bitcoin Trust contributed 8,336 BTC, followed by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund with 4,132 coins, and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF with 1,214 tokens. Notedly, the total Bitcoin ETF within the 7-day interval summed up to 14,917 BTC. 

Currently, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is still the ETF with the most significant AUM with 289,257 BTC; the BlackRock ETF’s impressive week saw its AUM surge to 284,526 BTC, implying that if it sustains present momentum, it could be on track to soon displace the GBTC as the ETF with the largest AUM.

Positive Net Inflow Data Spewing Bitcoin’s Bullish Sentiments?

In the crypto space, the general belief about an increasing net inflow in ETFs has always hinged on the possibility of a bull run for the coin involved. The usual sentiment has been that an increased net positive ETF inflow would induce scarcity and the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) syndrome, eventually spiking demand and causing massive price appreciation. 

I spent some time analyzing the post-ETF Bitcoin charts today and came up with some rough price predictions for the next 3 months. Currently the ETF inflows lead to a 2% increase in price per day, which is about $1000 per day. Most of the increase is taking place during the…

While the above belief has held in several scenarios, highlighted in the tweet above, it has not corroborated all cases. For example, Bitcoin’s remarkable price surge around March 20, 2024, coincided with the same period when the coin recorded a $260 million outflow within a day. 

Hence, while ETF net inflow-to-outflow statistics could hint at BTC’s potential price direction, they should not be used as absolute indices, as they could sometimes misguide inexperienced traders.
