Efter et par dage med at svæve over $66,000, er bitcoin (BTC) faldet til et lavpunkt på $63,500 midt i øget volatilitet.

Tilfældigvis (eller ej) ramte mængden af ​​udstrømme fra USA's spotmarked for Bitcoin-børshandlede fonde (ETF) den 24. april $120 millioner.

BTC falder med 4.5 %

Data fra CoinMarketCap viser that BTC lost roughly 4.5% of its value within a few hours, plummeting from $66,700 to $63,500. Although the leading cryptocurrency had recovered slightly by the time of writing and was changing hands at $64,000, it was still in the red and down 3.8% from its value the previous day.

Bitcoin’s fall from the $66,000 level slæbte a large portion of the crypto market down, wrecking over 91,000 traders with liquidations running into $208 million, per data from CoinGlass. Short liquidations totaled $32.18 million, while long positions were $176 million.

Det er bemærkelsesværdigt, at nogle large-cap altcoins, herunder Avalanche, Shiba Inu, Toncoin, Solana og Cardano, faldt endnu mere end BTC gjorde, og registrerede tab over 7% hver.

Spot ETF-udstrømme ramte $120 mio

Onsdag så investorer hæve mere end $120 millioner fra spot Bitcoin ETF'er, hvilket brød en tre-dages stribe af positive strømme. Hver anden ETF, undtagen Fidelitys FBTC og Ark Invests ARKB, modtog nul indstrømninger, hvilket bringer det samlede beløb, som fondene har modtaget, til $9.8 millioner.

BlackRock’s IBIT broke its 71-day inflow streak, halting its ascent on the list of the top ten ETFs with the longest inflow streaks. IBIT earned its spot on the elite list on Tuesday after experiencing inflows non-stop since its launch on January 11.

On the other hand, Grayscale’s GBTC continued its outflows, with more than $130 million trukket tilbage on Wednesday. The ETF, which has witnessed consistent outflows since its launch, now holds around 302,000 BTC worth over $19.3 billion with a volume of $526 million.

I mellemtiden har analytikere opfordret kryptosamfundet til at forblive roligt på dage, hvor ETF'er registrerer nul indstrømning, da dette er en regelmæssig begivenhed. Bloomberg ETF-analytiker James Seyffart sagde, at langt de fleste børshandlede fonde ikke ville have nogen indstrømning på en given dag, og det er ikke noget at være bekymret over.
