The <\/span>Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span><\/a> have seen their demand drop since the start of this month, and this was again evident in the considerable outflows recorded on April 26. This poor run has had far-reaching effects on the broader crypto market as <\/span>Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/span><\/a> has succumbed to unfavorable market conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Farside Investors revealed in an X (formerly Twitter) <\/span>post<\/span><\/a> that the Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $217 million of net outflows on April 25, one of their largest this month. <\/span>Grayscale\u2019s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)<\/span><\/a> accounted for most of these outflows, with investors moving $139.4 million out of the fund.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading: Why Is The Dogecoin Price Down Today?<\/a><\/p>\n Some other funds also recorded individual outflows. <\/span>Ark Invest\u2019s Spot Bitcoin ETF<\/span><\/a> recorded $31.3 million in outflows, while Valkyrie and Bitwise\u2019s ETFs saw $20 million and $6 million in daily outflows, respectively. Notably, <\/span>Fidelity\u2019s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC)<\/span><\/a> recorded a net daily outflow for the first time since these funds were <\/span>approved<\/span><\/a>, with $22.6 being moved out of the fund on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, BlackRock\u2019s dry spell continued with its <\/span>iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)<\/span><\/a> recording zero inflows for the second consecutive day. Although the fund has yet to record net daily outflows since launching, this undoubtedly represents a setback, considering that it had, before April 24, <\/span>recorded<\/span><\/a> 71 consecutive days of daily inflows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These Spot Bitcoin ETFs’ outflows have led to a wave of sell-offs from the fund issuers to fulfill redemptions. As a result, Bitcoin\u2019s price action has been rather unimpressive as of late, with the flagship crypto experiencing significant price declines due to the heightened selling pressure. This development has put the bears firmly in control, with <\/span>data<\/span><\/a> from Coinglass showing that more Bitcoin longs than shorts have been liquidated in the last 24 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An initial estimate <\/span>released<\/span><\/a> by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on April 25 showed that the <\/span>US Gross Domestic Product (GDP)<\/span><\/a> grew at an annual rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, which was way below expectations. This data report further diminishes hopes of rate cuts this year and looks to have played out in investors’ minds as <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span> briefly dropped below $63,000 following the report’s release.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSpot Bitcoin ETFS Record $217 Million Of Outflows<\/h2>\n
