Bitcoin ETFs Face Outflows: What’s Next for the Price?

Bitcoin Spot ETFs have seen four straight days of withdrawals, leading to price declines across the crypto market.

Outflows Led by Grayscale

The Grayscale Spot ETF has been the main driver of the outflows, with investors expressing concerns about its high fees. This is the second time Spot ETFs have experienced four consecutive days of withdrawals since their approval for trading.

Outflow Details

The largest single-day outflow occurred on Tuesday, March 19, with $326.2 million leaving the fund. Subsequent days saw lower outflows, but they remained negative. On Wednesday, net outflows were $261.5 million, and on Thursday, they were $94 million.

Comparison to Previous Outflows

The last time Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced four consecutive days of outflows was in January. However, that trend began when the ETFs had just started trading, unlike the current situation where outflows follow two weeks of inflows.

Impact on Bitcoin Price

In January, when outflows slowed down, inflows began to dominate and the Bitcoin price rallied from $40,000 to over $70,000 in two months. If this trend repeats, the Bitcoin price could start climbing again. However, if outflows continue, further price declines are possible.
