Spot Bitcoin ETF Net Inflows Surge To $417M, But Why Did Price Not Move?
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Bitcoin spot ETFs, particularly Fidelity's Bitcoin spot ETF (FBTC), saw a significant net inflow of $417 million, with FBTC alone attracting $279 million. In contrast, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) experienced a net outflow of $212 million. Despite these inflows, Bitcoin's price did not increase, leading to speculation about market sentiment and future price movements. Analysts suggest this could indicate a market consolidation period or the end of a FOMO phase.
