发生了什么
On 22 October $635.6m left US spot bitcoin ETFs, and on 23 October another $137.9m. That is about $774m in two days. An ETF is a fund that trades on an exchange like a share and holds real bitcoin. From 19 to 21 October the funds took in about $1.07bn, so the week is still up about $301m.
为什么和你有关
ETFs are the main door for big money from traditional finance. When money leaves, the funds sell bitcoin. On Saturday bitcoin fell below $81,000, and in 24 hours $466.5m of futures positions were force-closed, mostly bets on a rise.
要核实和关注什么
Monday's flows and next week's Fed meeting. Friday's table still lacks one fund, VanEck HODL, so the total may change a little.
According to Farside Investors' table, $635.6m left US spot bitcoin ETFs on Thursday, 22 October. The biggest losers were BlackRock's IBIT at $254.1m, Fidelity's FBTC at $217.5m and ARK's ARKB at $109.4m. On Friday, 23 October, outflows continued: $137.9m out, including $110.3m from IBIT and $31.8m from FBTC. Friday's figure for VanEck HODL is not in the table yet.
On Wednesday the picture was the opposite. From 19 to 21 October the funds took in about $1.07bn, and we wrote that money was back. Over the next two days about $774m left, so the week is up only about $301m. Since launch, Farside counts about $57.3bn of net inflows.
The price is following. On Wednesday bitcoin neared $85,000, CryptoPotato reports, and by Saturday it fell below $81,000, according to Incrypted. Ether dropped below $2,400.
In futures, this hit those betting on a rise with leverage. CoinGlass data cited by Incrypted show $466.5m of positions force-closed in 24 hours across 179,389 traders. Bets on a rise (longs) lost $319.4m, bets on a fall (shorts) $147.2m. A liquidation is when the exchange closes a position itself because the collateral no longer covers it. The Fear and Greed Index is at 46, in the fear zone.
ETF outflows do not mean the price must fall further. They are one measure of demand and can turn around as soon as Monday. But for two days in a row, big money has been selling more than buying.
