Bitcoin ETFs See Massive Inflows as Market Sees Mixed Signals
The Bitcoin ETFs have seen their largest inflows since May, pulling in approximately $854 million last week. This marks a significant shift in investor sentiment and comes after an eight-week outflow streak that ended in June and early July. In comparison, the ETH ETFs saw even more impressive net inflows of around $244 million, equivalent to roughly $1.25 billion in BTC inflows on a market-cap adjusted basis.
The earnings from last week were largely positive, with some sectors beating expectations while others fell short. However, the July jobs report missed badly, with the economy shedding 23,000 jobs against forecasts of 80,000 gained, marking its first decline in months despite a slight drop in unemployment to 4.1%. This combination led to a significant shift in the September rate hike odds, which dropped from 67% to 42%, making it less likely.
While the cryptocurrency market is relatively flat over the weekend, with major players like BTC and ETH up only 2%, the inflows into Bitcoin ETFs are an important step towards turning the bear market around. It remains to be seen whether this momentum will continue, but for now, it's a positive sign.
