Bitcoin ETFs See Record Inflows as BTC Price Surges Past $65,000
Sep 29, 2024 at 08:00 am
Bitcoin's recent price surge past $65,000 has major interest from investors, particularly in Bitcoin ETFs. On Thursday, US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $365 million in new investments, pushing the week's total to over $600 million.
Bitcoin price surges past $65,000, sparking huge interest in ETFs
Bitcoin price soared past $65,000 on Thursday, attracting massive interest from investors, especially in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Data showed that US-based Bitcoin ETFs attracted $365 million in fresh investments, pushing the week’s total to over $600 million.
This surge in capital follows a series of positive economic indicators in the United States, including stronger-than-expected GDP growth and a drop in jobless claims, both of which have contributed to renewed investor confidence in riskier assets like Bitcoin.
As Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory, many market analysts are keeping a close watch on the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decisions, which could further influence Bitcoin’s price movement.
Record inflows into Bitcoin ETFs
The biggest winner among Bitcoin ETFs on Thursday was ARK Invest’s ARKB, which led the pack by securing $114 million in fresh investments. This marked a significant turnaround for ARKB, which had seen losses earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, BlackRock’s IBIT continued its streak of success, drawing in $93 million in new capital. Other notable Bitcoin ETFs, including Fidelity’s FBTC and Bitwise’s BITB, collectively attracted $124 million in additional funds, showing strong interest across multiple investment platforms.
Several other ETFs, such as those managed by VanEck, Invesco, Valkyrie, and Franklin Templeton, also saw substantial inflows. However, WisdomTree’s BTCW was an outlier, recording zero new investment despite Bitcoin’s price rally.
The substantial inflows into Bitcoin ETFs highlight the growing popularity of these investment products among US investors. With Bitcoin prices on the rise, many see these ETFs as a safe way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency market without directly holding the digital asset.
Grayscale sees mixed results
While traditional Bitcoin ETFs performed well, Grayscale, a prominent player in the crypto investment space, experienced mixed results. Its Bitcoin Mini Trust recorded a modest inflow of $3 million, signaling that some investors are still attracted to its lower-cost option.
However, Grayscale’s GBTC fund, known for its high management fees, saw $7 million in outflows, the lowest outflow figure in two weeks.
Despite the outflow from GBTC, overall investor interest in Bitcoin products remains strong, driven largely by Bitcoin’s recent price surge and optimism surrounding the US economy.
Economic data boosts Bitcoin price
Bitcoin’s rise above $65,000 is closely linked to a series of positive economic reports from the United States. One key factor is the stronger-than-expected US GDP growth, which climbed to 3% in the latest quarter. This economic strength has reassured investors and pushed them toward riskier assets like Bitcoin.
Another contributing factor was the unexpected drop in weekly jobless claims, which added to the sense of economic recovery. With jobless claims down and economic growth up, Bitcoin has become more attractive as investors look for opportunities beyond traditional markets.
The impact of potential Fed rate cuts
The Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut has been a major factor in Bitcoin’s price rally, and further rate cuts could have an even greater impact. Lower interest rates tend to benefit assets like Bitcoin, which are seen as riskier but offer the potential for higher returns.
Many analysts are now watching the release of the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) index, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation. If the data shows that inflation is cooling, as expected, the Fed may continue cutting rates. Some analysts predict that the Fed could reduce interest rates by 25 basis points in both November and December, which would likely lead to more inflows into Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETFs.
As inflation eases and interest rates fall, the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin decreases, making it more appealing to investors looking for higher-yield investments.
What’s next for Bitcoin?
Bitcoin’s recent rally and the substantial inflows into Bitcoin ETFs signal strong market confidence. If the Fed continues to cut interest rates, Bitcoin could see further price gains, potentially pushing it toward the $70,000 mark.
For now, Bitcoin’s price is likely to remain volatile, with key levels to watch around $65,000 and $68,000. If economic conditions remain favorable and interest in Bitcoin ETFs continues to grow, Bitcoin could surpass its recent highs, offering more opportunities for investors to profit from its rise.
