2024-11-06

In the past 24 hours, the broader cryptocurrency market has seen some uptick, with Bitcoin reaching its all-time high. Despite bullishness in the market due to the hype of the United States presidential elections, the BTC spot ETF category saw a steadiness and an outflow in millions. 
According to data from Coinank, the Bitcoin spot ETF by BlackRock (IBIT) saw a negative net inflow of $44.20 million as of November 05, 2024. The list is joined by FBTC which saw a net inflow of negative $68.20 million and ARKB mirrored a net inflow of negative $12.50 million. 
The finance experts argue that a sudden surge in outflow can be termed as some investors might have been shifting their funds to other Bitcoin-related products rather than considering BTC spot ETF as first preference. 
The available data shows that the recently recorded outflow in IBIT is the sixth outflow since it launched, other than that it has majorly seen a positive inflow adding millions and even billions in a day. Source: Coinank
