Bitcoin ETF outings raise investor concerns

Bitcoin ETF outings have aroused concerns about the change of feeling of investors.

Markus Thielen, research manager at 10x Research, noted The fact that most Bitcoin ETF Bitcoin investors mainly use these products for arbitration strategies rather than long -term assets. He noted that only around 44% of entries are in fact linked to long -term investments. This suggests that the real demand for bitcoin as a long -term active in diversified wallets can be lower than that commonly represented in the media.

Commenting on the recent weekly outings of BTC ETFs, Kadan Stadelmann, CTO on the Komodo platform, told Crypto.News that if the Bitcoin ETFs see capital outings, the ETF Gold are experiencing entries. This change could indicate that investors are preparing for economic uncertainty.

Another potential indicator? Berkshire Hathaway recently revealed that he held $ 334.2 billion in cash. According to Stadelmann, this suggests that the company awaits a drop in the market to buy assets and raw materials at lower prices.

Adding to the uncertainty of investors, Donald Trump recently declared that if he was re-elected, the United States will impose reciprocal rates on almost all countries. It raised concern On inflation and commercial disruptions, not only among investors but also in the federal reserve, as evidenced by the minutes of last week’s meeting.

At the same time, Bitcoin, often considered a main indicator of market trends, has shown resistance and started to decrease down. Stadelmann believes that this could point out a wider market sale, especially after the fall in the stock market on Friday.

“These are the clues that Bitcoin ETF investors see, encouraging them to pass from ETF to cash,” concluded Stadelmann.
