š Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF trading volumes exploded as the cryptocurrency market plunged!
š On August 5, as soon as the U.S. market opened, Bitcoin fell below the $50,000 mark, triggering a trading frenzy for cryptocurrency ETFs, with total trading volume reaching a staggering $6 billion!
š According to CoinGlass data, Bitcoin ETFs traded as much as $5.24 billion, of which BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for more than half of the bulk. Ethereum ETFs were not to be outdone, with trading volume reaching $715.3 million, led by Grayscale's Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA).
š Meanwhile, Bloomberg's ETF analysts remind us that this "crazy volume" is often a reliable indicator of panic when the market plunges. But at the same time, deep liquidity adjustments are also one of the reasons why traders and institutions like ETFs, which is good news for the long term.
š Analysis believes that the reason for this round of pullback is that Jump Trading transferred a large amount of Ethereum to the exchange on August 4, triggering the cryptocurrency market to start plummeting. Coupled with the sharp decline in the Nikkei Index and the yen carry trade, Bitcoin once fell below $50,000, but according to CoinMarketCap data, it has now rebounded slightly to $55,542. $BTC
š At the same time, according to preliminary inflow data, the flow of funds for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs was mixed. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust Fund and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) saw $69 million in outflows, while Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust Fund (BTC) had $7.2 million and $900,000 in inflows, respectively.
š¤ The view points out that despite the sharp market fluctuations in the short term, the liquidity and institutional adoption trend of ETFs are positive for the cryptocurrency market in the long run. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs may eventually see net inflows, showing the market's long-term confidence in cryptocurrencies.
