Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) domiciled in the US saw unexpectedly negative inflows on May 1. The iShares Bitcoin Trust had its first-ever outgoing capital day, totaling $36.9 million, according to data compiled by Farside Investors. A total of nine other Bitcoin ETFs withdrew $526.8 million in a single transaction. But that was not the case with the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF; it had no new investments that day.
Fidelity-Wise Origin The Bitcoin Fund had the biggest reported outflow to date, with $191.1 million from a single day. After that, $167.4 million left the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. Since they began trading in January, US Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen record-breaking redemption volumes on this day.
Not only did the ProShares Bitcoin ETF have large inflows, but so did the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF and the Franklin Bitcoin ETF, with respective net outflows of $98.1 million and $13.4 million. Andrew Will, who is part of the Bloomberg ETF analyst team, offered his opinion on the matter. He brought out the fact that ETFs were functioning normally and that Seyffart had brought attention to the inflow and outflow stages that are common to ETF lifecycles.
Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, provided additional comparisons and highlighted other changes in the ETF sector. Nevertheless, prominent gold ETFs like the iShares Gold ETF and SPDR Gold ETF each took in $1 billion this year alone, while physical and futures-backed Bitcoin ETFs had net outflows. But so far this year, gold prices have climbed by a substantial 16%.
