Hot Take: Spot Bitcoin ETFs Face Decline in Pre-Market Trading and Weak Inflows
The pre-market trading session saw a decline in major Spot Bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock’s IBIT and Grayscale’s GBTC. This drop can be attributed to weak inflows reported on Tuesday. The competitors of these ETFs, such as VanEck’s HODL and Valkyrie’s BRRR, also experienced a pullback in value.
Furthermore, the net inflows for Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen a significant decrease compared to the previous week. BlackRock’s IBIT and Grayscale’s GBTC both witnessed drops in net inflows, while other ETFs like Invesco Galaxy’s BTCO and Franklin Templeton’s EZBC did not attract any significant inflows. This indicates a challenging period for these ETFs.
