On August 29, 2021, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) dealing with Bitcoin saw an end to a six-day streak of net outflows. The funds experienced an inflow of up to $219 million within a day, as indicated by ETF data platform SoSoValue. This rebound in Bitcoin ETFs signals a change in market sentiment after six consecutive trading days of net outflows.

Bitcoin ETFs’ Outflow Streak

The outflow streak of Bitcoin ETFs begun on August 15 and extended through to August 20. During this period, the largest outflows were recorded on August 19, when up to $523.31 million was clocked. This was followed by a $311.57 million outflow on Wednesday during the same week. This week-long outflow was noted after a market correction in Bitcoin following its reach to record highs. Data from CoinGecko on August 14 indicated that Bitcoin had reached an all-time high of $124,128. Since then, Bitcoin’s value had dropped by 11%, positioning it at $110,186.

Fidelity and BlackRock ETFs Lead Rebound

Fidelity and BlackRock ETFs were the major influence behind the rebound on Monday, driving a large portion of the daily net inflows. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) led the pack as it brought in $65.56 million. Coming in close was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with $63.38 million, while ARK Invest’s ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) added $61.21 million. Although smaller, other issuers also contributed positively to Monday’s inflows. Bitwise’s BITB oversaw $15.18 million in net inflows. Simultaneously, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (BTC) and VanEck’s HODL fund respectively recorded $7.35 million and $6.32 million.

Current Crypto Sentiment and Future Predictions

According to CoinShare’s head of research, James Butterfill, the recent crypto fund outflows were the largest losses since March. Butterfill explained that the sell-off was largely driven by polarized investor sentiment toward U.S. monetary policies. Specifically, he cited pessimism surrounding the Federal Reserve’s stance, which led to $2 billion in outflows. However, Butterfill expressed that the shift in sentiment occurred after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s address, which many interpreted as more dovish than expected. Over the weekend, crypto sentiment returned to greed, contributing to a surge in the crypto market. The speculation is linked to Powell raising the possibility of a rate cut in September. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a tool used to measure market sentiment, rose to a Greed score of 60. This upward shift illustrates that market participants have a stronger appetite for risk, with an increased likelihood of purchasing. These events reveal a fluctuating and evolving landscape for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, offering unique opportunities and challenges for investors and enthusiasts alike.
