Outflows from Bitcoin and Ether ETFs amid metals rally
Data shows that amid a rally in the metals market, primarily gold and silver, investors have withdrawn around $1.82 billion from Bitcoin ETFs and Ether ETFs.
This is happening against the backdrop of a general recovery in interest in traditional safe-haven assets such as precious metals, amid geopolitical tensions and high inflation. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas notes that many seem to be forgetting how much Bitcoin outperformed other assets in 2023-2024.
'Bitcoin spanked everything so bad that many seem to have forgotten about it. While other assets like gold and stocks still haven't caught up to the cryptocurrency,' Balchunas said.
However, despite the current rally in metals, the long-term prospects for Bitcoin and other crypto assets remain highly positive. Many experts agree that cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, will remain an attractive asset for investors seeking protection against inflation and portfolio diversification.
