Bitcoin ETF Funds Experience Inflows After Months of Outflows

May 4, 2024

Recent data shows that various Bitcoin funds, including Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), have seen inflows of money instead of outflows for the first time in four months. GBTC recorded $63 million in investments, while other funds like Franklin Templeton’s ETF, EZBC, and Fidelity’s FBTC also experienced significant inflows. This has led to speculation about the potential impact on Bitcoin prices, with suggestions that reduced selling pressure and increased demand could drive up the price of Bitcoin.

Pseudonymous crypto investor DivXman noted that GBTC had been a primary source of sell pressure for spot Bitcoin ETFs since January 2024. This shift in dynamics could result in decreased sell pressure and increased demand for Bitcoin, especially if ETFs continue buying more BTC than miners can produce.

Traders like Jelle are optimistic about the future of Bitcoin, predicting that the recent inflows into Grayscale’s ETF could lead to a new all-time high. Factors such as high fees in comparison to other ETFs may have contributed to the outflows of GBTC since its launch. For example, GBTC has a fee of 1.5%, while Franklin Templeton’s EZBC has the lowest fee at 0.19%.

The recent increase in investments in Bitcoin funds raises questions about a potential turnaround in the cryptocurrency's price. With GBTC recording its first inflows in months and other funds also experiencing record-breaking numbers, could this be a prelude to a surge in Bitcoin prices?
