Spot Bitcoin ETFs Clobbered By $218M Net Outflow On Thursday
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant net outflow of $218 million on Thursday, despite Bitcoin's price increase of 3.7%. Fidelity's FBTC and Valkyrie's BRRR ETFs saw their first net withdrawals, while Grayscale's GBTC faced the largest outflow. Franklin Templeton's EZBC was the exception with a net inflow. The outflows contrast with Bitcoin's price resilience, suggesting a disconnect between ETF investor sentiment and the cryptocurrency's market performance.
