Bitcoin ETF Performance Tracks Underlying Asset; Says Nate Geraci

With a slight tilt in Bitcoin ETF trading, Nate Geraci, the president of The ETF Store, said that the performance of the exchange traded funds is directly related to the performance of the asset. This implies that since BTC prices have been directing the performance of Bitcoin ETFs any price change will directly reflect on the ETF inflow or outflow.

Bitcoin ETF Still New in Adoption

Nate Geraci says that Bitcoin ETF products are early in adoption. Once the adoption starts picking pace, the trading volume will also surge accordingly. He adds that that the flows in any ETF will not always be a straight line and Bitcoin ETF is no exception. There will be days with outflows as well.

Bitcoin ETF Lag Trading Performance

Spot BTC ETFs in the United States continue to underperform; on the week’s final trading day, there was a net outflow of $83.6 million. The $82.4 million withdrawal from Grayscale GBTC, which was somewhat less than the previous two days’ outflow, shows that are dicey about the growth of the exchange-traded funds.

This is largely the result of monthly options expiration and rising PCE inflation in the context of Bitcoin’s recent underperformance. Furthermore, the financial world was rocked by the DTCC’s update on collateral values for specific securities, particularly ETFs that held BTC or other cryptocurrencies as assets.

Bitcoin ETF Interest Tumbles

The interest in the ETF market has again been overshadowed by outflows, despite earlier this week’s resurgence when net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs were observed. $83.6 million was the total net outflow of spot BTC ETFs, as per data released on April 27 by Farside Investors and Bloomberg. Volumes and purchasing activity in the 11 listed ETFs were much lower, making it another disappointing day.

The sole Bitcoin ETF experiencing inflows was Ark 21Shares (ARKB). It sold all of its assets in the ProShares BTC Strategy ETF (BITO) and only received $5.4 million in inflows despite anticipation of purchases from the ARK funds. The price of the shares dropped 1.84% but increased 0.61% after market hours.
