US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Mark Longest Streak Of Net Outflows Of $1.2 Billion
According to a Bloomberg report, the US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen their longest net outflows since launch in January. The funds lost $1.2 billion in net outflows in eight days, from August 30 to September 6.
Moreover, on September 6, the products marked their eighth consecutive day of net outflows amounting to $170 million, according to data from Farside Investors.
The data showed that Fidelity’s FBTC saw the largest net outflows of $85.5 million on September 6.
Grayscale’s GBTC followed with the exit of funds worth $52.9 million. BITB, ARKB, BRRR, and Grayscale’s mini trust, BTC, recorded net outflows of $14.3 million, $7.2 million, $4.6 million, and $5.5 million, respectively.
BlackRock’s IBIT and the other three ETFs saw zero net flows for the day. The ETF outflow trend stemmed from Bitcoin’s downward slip. Within the first week of Sept, BTC struggled to maintain its high of $64,668 as of August 26.
With increasing bearish pressure, the primary cryptocurrency plummeted to $53,491 on September 7, reflecting a 17.18% decrease in 14 days.
Also, Bitcoin’s price trend revealed that the token slipped to a two-week low after losing over 2% in the first week of September.
Moreover, crypto experts noted that Bitcoin has performed poorly since the beginning of September. However, they anticipate an upcoming rally in the crypto market, with BTC soaring higher than its recent value.
Bitcoin’s recent performance satisfies the commonly used crypto terms “Rektember” and “Uptober.” This means that the prices of crypto assets usually “rekt” in September and “pushed up” in October, respectively.
