The US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) encountered a modest daily net outflow of $20.5 million on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, according to data from Farside Investors. This occurred alongside a notable decline in the overall trading volume.
During the trading day, most funds exhibited minimal activity, with only two funds experiencing significant asset movements. Grayscale's $GBTC saw a net outflow of $27 million, partially counterbalanced by Fidelity Investments' $FBTC, which registered a net inflow of $6.5 million.
Data sourced from SoSo Value indicated that the total trading volume on Wednesday amounted to $807.87 million, marking a substantial decrease from the previous day's $995 million. This reduction underscores a broader trend of diminishing trading participation in the spot Bitcoin ETF realm.
The present trading volume signifies a notable decline from the market's pinnacle in March 2024 when daily volumes soared between $8 billion and $10 billion. Despite this downturn, the aggregate net inflow for these ETFs since their inception remains impressive at $14.62 billion, with a total net asset value reaching about $51.87 billion as of July 3, 2024.
Interestingly, the most recent data contrasts with the findings from the previous week, revealing a strong initiation to July for these funds. The commencement of the month witnessed substantial inflows, spearheaded by Fidelity's $FBTC with a $65 million influx.
Furthermore, other funds such as Bitwise's $BITB, Ark 21 Shares' $ARKB, VanEck's $HODL, Invesco Galaxy's $BTCO, and Franklin Templeton's $EZBC recorded positive flows during that period.
These fluctuations in fund flows and trading volumes highlight the dynamic nature of the spot Bitcoin ETF market as investors navigate this relatively new investment vehicle amidst the broader trends within the cryptocurrency landscape.
According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin's current trading price stands at $57,714.78, reflecting a 4.04% decrease from its value in the last twenty-four hours.
