Despite a groundbreaking day in the US with the largest Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) launch for a single asset, the Bitcoin price remained stagnant, hovering around the $46,000 mark. This development has raised questions within the community, particularly in light of the extraordinary trading volume and participation seen in the ETF market.<\/p>\n

Record-Breaking ETF Launch<\/h2>\n

On its first trading day, Bitcoin ETFs saw unprecedented activity. The total volume reached $4.6 billion, distributed among major players such as Grayscale ($2.3 billion), BlackRock ($1 billion), Fidelity ($700 million), ARK 21Shares ($288 million), and Bitwise ($125 million). This event marked over 700,000 individual trades.<\/p>\n

Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store and co-founder of the ETF Institute, remarked<\/a>, \u201cGBTC had the largest ETF launch by trading volume ever with $2.3 billion\u2026 iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) had the 5th largest launch with $1 billion. GBTC obviously had built-in liquidity, but it’s still a record. IBIT’s performance is impressive given it launched the same day as 10 other competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bloomberg\u2019s ETF expert Eric Balchunas added<\/a>, \u201cAll told, there were 700,000 individual trades today in and out of the 11 spot ETFs. For context, that is double the number of trades for QQQ (although it sees much bigger $ volume because bigger fish use it). So, there was a lot more grassroots action (versus big seed buys) than I expected, which is good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Cannot Maintain Its Gains<\/h2>\n

Despite these impressive figures, the Bitcoin price struggled to surpass the $50,000<\/a> threshold. Although BTC briefly touched $49,000, it failed to maintain these gains, dipping to as low as $45,700. At press time, the price settled around $46,000.<\/p>\n

Dan Ripoll, managing director at Swan Bitcoin, argued<\/a> almost everyone expected Bitcoin to either rip, or to sell off on the ETF news, but neither happened. So what\u2019s behind the muted price response?<\/p>\n

Ripoll argues that compliance departments at brokerage firms often take “weeks to several months to add new products to their internal ‘approved products list’ for advisors to sell.” Moreover, the expert explained that several large broker-dealers like Vanguard<\/a>, UBS, Citi and Merrill Lynch have either restricted or disallowed their retail clients to buy any spot Bitcoin ETFs.<\/p>\n

A significant point of discussion was Vanguard\u2019s decision to block its customers from buying into the new BTC Spot ETFs, citing that these products \u201cdon\u2019t fit with Vanguard\u2019s investment philosophy.\u201d This move by the world\u2019s second-largest asset manager, behind BlackRock<\/a>, further complicates the landscape for Bitcoin ETF adoption.<\/p>\n

“There may be other brokers who blocked these sales as well for ideological reasons. They don\u2019t believe in Bitcoin. I didn\u2019t expect this at all. They\u2019ll lose customers quickly with this strategy,” Ripoll stated.<\/p>\n

Matt Dines, Chief Investment Officer at Build Asset Management LLC, added<\/a> another very important fact that is probably not widely known:<\/p>\n

The dollars behind today\u2019s spot ETF volume haven\u2019t even hit the fund portfolio managers\u2019 desks yet. Most create orders behind today\u2019s flows will get cash settled tomorrow morning T+1 \u2026 i.e. the capital behind today\u2019s wave hasn\u2019t even started lifting offers in the UTXO market.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rotation Plays And GBTC Selling<\/h2>\n

Besides that there are reports of investors rotating out of Bitcoin ETF proxies, like BITO and mining stocks, to redeploy capital into better proxies, such as the new spot ETFs. This shift might have mildly suppressed ETF inflows and could take months to fully materialize.<\/p>\n

It is also interesting to note that Grayscale accounted for half of yesterday’s trading volume, much of which could have been sell orders. In the run-up to the spot ETF approval, GBTC was a popular bet among speculators<\/a> who had taken advantage of the discount of over 40% at times in the hope that this would close with the ETF launch. This is exactly what happened, with GBTC only trading at around -1% yesterday.<\/p>\n

Thus, most of the GBTC trading was probably selling. This is supported by the fact that there is probably no point for investors to hold the GBTC with its enormous 1.5% yearly fee when other spot Bitcoin ETF issuers offer 0.25%.<\/p>\n

Fred Krueger, a crypto expert, stated, “GBTC volume must be 90% sales. Some of that went into IBIT.” BitMEX Research commented<\/a>, \u201cThe GBTC volume could be mostly selling and outflow. It has been trading at a discount for almost all the trading day, so not likely to be buying.\u201d<\/p>\n

In summary, the lack of a significant Bitcoin price surge, despite the record ETF day, can be attributed to a combination of factors including GBTC selling, compliance delays, brokerage restrictions, fund rotations, and ideological stances by major financial institutions.<\/p>\n

At press time, BTC traded at $45,893.<\/p>\n

Through his extensive work with uniquehot.com and Bitcoinist.com, Jake has become a trusted voice in the crypto community, guiding newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike towards a deeper understanding of this dynamic field. His mission is simple yet profound: to demystify Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and make them accessible to everyone. With a professional career in the Bitcoin and crypto scene that began right after graduating with a degree in Information Systems in 2017, Jake has immersed himself in the industry. Jake joined the NewsBTC Group in late 2022. His educational background provides him with the technical prowess and analytical skills necessary to dissect complex topics and present them in an understandable format. Whether you are a casual reader curious about Bitcoin or an investor seeking to navigate the latest market trends, Jake\u2019s insights offer valuable perspectives that bridge the gap between complex technology and everyday usage. Jake is not just a reporter on technological trends; he is a firm believer in the transformative potential of Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies. To him, the current financial system is on the brink of chaos, propelled by unchecked government actions and flawed Keynesian economic policies. Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system. His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution. He envisions a future where Bitcoin fosters a sustainable and responsible financial framework for generations to come. His advocacy is not about opposition but about evolution, about laying the groundwork for a system that prioritizes transparency and equity over secrecy and inequality. As a journalist, Jake\u2019s articles are crafted with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a true believer. He provides not only news but also thoughtful analysis that connects the dots between daily developments and larger economic theories. His work is a beacon for those lost in the technical jargon often associated with crypto discussions, illuminating the practical implications and benefits of these technologies. In summary, Jake Simmons is not just reporting on a revolution; he wants to be part of it, fully committed to enhancing public understanding and adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. His work is more than just a collection of articles; it\u2019s a resource, a guide, and a companion for anyone ready to explore the potential of this digital frontier. Whether you are taking your first steps into crypto or are a veteran looking to stay on top of the latest trends, Jake\u2019s insights provide clarity and foresight in an often unpredictable industry.
