What’s Behind the Massive Inflow of Spot Bitcoin ETFs?
Certain factors contributed to the recent massive inflow of funds in spot Bitcoin ETFs, reaching a peak of over $620 million worth of investments in the past 3 days. These factors include:
Increased Bitcoin Accumulation
Increased Bitcoin accumulation in the past few days is one reason behind the inflow in spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to data from CryptoQuant, long-term holders of Bitcoin have been accumulating the digital asset at rates not seen since April 2023. Furthermore, the massive surge in Bitcoin holdings has not been seen since June 07, 2024. Apparently, this data starts from when the spot Bitcoin ETFs received approval.
Speculations of a Bullish August
Many top names within the crypto secure expect Bitcoin to be extremely bullish in August, leading investors to take strategic stands in the ETF decide sector. JPMorgan’s Nikolaos Panigirtzoglous said they expect Bitcoin and the broader crypto market to make a bullish return in August.
“The reduction in the estimated net flow largely driven by the decline in Bitcoin reserves across exchanges over the past month,” JPMorgan’s Nikolaos Panigirtzoglous said.
Conclusion
Spot Bitcoin ETFs are having a great period in the crypto market after recording three consecutive days of massive inflows. According to data from CoinMarketCap, there was an inflow of more than $660 million within the three-day period. But within that time, too, IBIT emerged as the winner in the amount of inflows, while Grayscale took the majority of the outflows. The recent development is due to the increase in the number of people investing in Bitcoin and its spot ETF. Data from CryptoQuant highlights the increased Bitcoin investments.
