Bitcoin ETF Outflows In Check As US Futures Stage Strong Recovery

Despite the bloodbath on Satoshi Street, the spot Bitcoin ETFs managed to keep the outflows under check on Monday, August 5. Yesterday, the net outflows from BTC ETFs were $161 million, a drop from the $237 million seen last Friday. This shows that the institutional players showed greater confidence in BTC as the asset class recovered more than 10% from the lows of under $50,000 on Monday.

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.

As the US futures market showed strength on Monday, the crypto market recovered strongly with the Bitcoin price up 11% at press time, shooting all the way to $56,000.

On the other hand, Ethereum has also surged by 8% shooting above $2,500 with Ethereum ETF recording net inflows on Monday. The rest of the altcoin space is also showing major in the Asian trading hours amid strong recovery in Japan’s Nikkei 225 index.

Institutional exposure to the Bitcoin ETFs has been growing significantly. On Monday, the London-based Capula Management disclosed its $500 million exposure to the spot BTC ETFs. This shows that institutions have been taking this market crash as an opportunity to buy the dips.
