Bitcoin ETFs More Likely 'Off-Ramp For Whales' Than 'On-Ramp For Traditional Investors': Analyst
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Oliver Renick from Schwab Network suggests Bitcoin ETFs are being used by 'whales' as an exit strategy rather than an entry point for traditional investors. Market dynamics have shifted, with strong cash flow, profits, and dividends driving outperformance. Bitcoin, lacking these fundamentals, stands out as a risky asset. Despite the introduction of Spot ETFs, Bitcoin's integration into the financial system hasn't led to widespread adoption by traditional investors. The price of Bitcoin has declined despite substantial inflows into ETFs like Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), indicating a disconnect. Technical and market challenges make a bullish case for Bitcoin difficult.
