Bitcoin BTC bulls face a lofty challenge this week: funnel nearly $1 billion into the U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and prevent these publicly listed institutional investment vehicles from registering their second-worst performance on record.<\/p>\n

In January 2024, Nasdaq listed 11 spot bitcoin ETFs, allowing investors to take exposure to the cryptocurrency while eliminating the need for self-custody of coins. Since then, these funds have cumulatively amassed $53.9 billion in investor money.<\/p>\n

However, this month has been a different story. These funds have registered a net outflow of $972 million, which is the second-largest since their inception, only behind the $3.56 billion in February, according to data source SoSoValue<\/a>. A negative tally by Friday would mark the end of the four-month inflows streak.<\/p>\n

The slowdown in uptake for ETFs is one of the key reasons for BTC’s dour price performance this month, according to analysts. The spot price peaked at a record high of over $124,000 early this month and last changed hands just above $100,000.<\/p>\n

“This month alone could see the second-highest outflow on record, compared with February’s $3.5 billion peak during the U.S. tariff debacle. Seasonal headwinds may not last, but they are a reminder that flow and seasonality matter,” Matrixport said in Tuesday’s edition of Chart of the Day.<\/p>\n

The firm added that this remains a period to “tread carefully,” even though macro and liquidity drivers could eventually push BTC higher.<\/p>\n

The consensus is that BTC will continue to gain ground into the year, potentially reaching levels above $150,000. But that would require sizable inflows, according to 10x Research’s<\/a> founder Markus Thielen.<\/p>\n

“Some argue that bitcoin\u2019s macro narrative alone is what matters, but without real capital flows, the price cannot rise. To reach $150,000, Bitcoin would require roughly $404 billion in total inflows this year\u2014meaning an additional $173 billion between now and year-end,” Thielen said in a note to clients Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“That is double the combined allocations from Bitcoin ETFs and MicroStrategy since early January 2024,” he added.<\/p>\n

Note that ether ETFs have registered a net inflow of $3.23 billion this month, extending the winning streak since April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
