During the first week of July, BITB registered inflows exceeding $66 million taking its total Bitcoin holdings to more than 38,000. Horsley also emphasized the strong outlook for Bitcoin stating that the current market dip provides a strong buying opportunity for new and existing investors. “The outlook for Bitcoin has never been stronger.

Peter Schiff Predicts Capitulation By ETF Holders

Renowned Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has weighed in on the current state of Bitcoin ETF investors, suggesting that despite ongoing market turbulence, these investors remain steadfast in their positions. Schiff noted that trading activity indicates BTC ETF buyers are still holding their assets, showing no signs of panic yet.

“So far, there’s no sign of panic. It will likely take a much larger drop in Bitcoin before they finally capitulate,” Schiff commented.

He further predicted that this capitulation could occur soon, possibly as early as next week, especially if another significant selloff takes place over the weekend. Schiff’s remarks highlight his continued skepticism about the stability and resilience of Bitcoin and its investors in the face of market fluctuations.
