Bitcoin ETF Market Recovery Soon

The reducing ETF outflows show that the market sentiment for BTC ETFs could be recovering very soon. Only Grayscale’s Bitcoin mini-ETF (BTC) saw $21 million in inflows on Monday. The rest have either seen net outflows or zero inflows.

Fidelity’s FBTC, Ark Invest’s ARK, and Grayscale’s GBTC have seen net outflows in the range of $60-$70 million respectively. Although the outflows have slowed, Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff warned that the Bitcoin ETF capitulation won’t be over yet. In his latest message on X, Peter Schiff wrote:

“Today’s crypto crash wasn’t big enough to shake the confidence of ETF investors. However, their resolve will be tested soon. Capitulation is needed to from a short-term bottom. Bitcoin breaking below $38K should do the trick. At that price all BTC ETFs will hit new lows”.

With one of the respondents stating that they would be buying more, Peter Schiff said that $38,000 is not the bottom rather it’s a point where mass liquidations will be triggered by ETF buyers leading to the BTC price collapse further below $20,000.
