Are Bitcoin ETFs Back with $1.3B Inflows, Pushing Bitcoin to ATH Again?
What's Next for BTC Price?
In May, Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a significant recovery, attracting $1.3 billion in inflows and reversing April's outflows. This rebound has brought the net value of these ETFs to approximately $12.3 billion since their launch.
A Positive Turnaround
According to Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg's senior ETF analyst, the inflows in May have been particularly strong. Over two weeks, the ETFs saw $1.3 billion in inflows, compensating for the $344 million in outflows from the previous month. These fluctuations, Balchunas points out, are normal and should not cause undue concern among traders. He remains optimistic about the long-term benefits of investing in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Challenges in April
April was a tough month for BTC ETFs, with significant withdrawals totaling $344 million. On April 29 alone, investors pulled out about $51.5 million, largely driven by Grayscale’s converted fund, GBTC. However, the trend shifted in May, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of $116.8 million on May 13, ending a streak of four weeks of net outflows.
Strong Rebound in May
The inflows continued with substantial amounts: $151.4 million on May 14, $303 million on May 15, and $257.3 million on May 16. These numbers indicate a robust recovery and growing investor confidence in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Rapid Growth and Investor Interest
The rapid accumulation of assets by ETFs such as IBIT and FBTC has set records in the ETF industry. IBIT reached $10 billion in assets in just 49 trading days, while FBTC achieved the same milestone in 77 days. This swift growth underscores the strong demand and investor interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The recent rebound in spot Bitcoin ETFs with $1.3 billion in inflows demonstrates their resilience and the renewed confidence among investors. Despite the normal fluctuations in inflows and outflows, the long-term outlook for these ETFs remains positive, reflecting a growing interest and belief in the potential of Bitcoin as an investment.
