As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye on the market trends, I find the recent inflows into Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) quite intriguing. Despite the volatile price movement of Bitcoin (BTC), investors have shown remarkable resilience and confidence, pouring in a substantial $143.1 million in net inflows on July 5. This is a clear indication that many believe in the long-term potential of BTC and are willing to buy the dip and hold on until its price rises again.


In the previous month, there was a significant surge in investments into Bitcoin ETFs, with a total of $143.1 million poured in on July 5 alone. This influx occurred despite the volatile price movements of Bitcoin. The inflows indicate that investors are seizing the opportunity to buy at lower prices and remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s future price increase.

Experts believe that Bitcoin’s bullish trend remains intact, despite short-term downturns triggered by incidents such as Mt. Gox repayments and the German government selling large amounts of BTC through centralized exchanges (CEXs). They anticipate that the cryptocurrency will resume its upward momentum once it reaches the approximate price level of $50,000.

As an analyst, I’d rephrase it as follows: Among the total inflow of $143.1 million, Fidelity’s FBTC ETF garnered the largest portion with approximately $117 million. Bitwise’s BITB came in second place with about $30.2 million in net inflows. VanEck’s HODL ETF attracted around $12.8 million, while ARK Invest and 21 Shares’ collaborative product, ARKB, saw an influx of roughly $11.3 million. Contrastingly, Grayscale’s GBTC experienced outflows to the tune of $28.6 million.

Bitwise’s CEO Hunter Horsley stated about the falling BTC prices in an X post, “The outlook for Bitcoin has never been stronger. For many who don’t yet have exposure, this week is a chance to buy the dip.” In that same post, he mentioned that Bitwise acquired BTC at less than half of 1 basis point, also saying the BITB ETF has accumulated 38,000 BTC on behalf of its investors. “Bitwise PM team efficiently purchased Bitcoin at less than half of 1 basis point of cost. Cumulatively this week $BITB had >$66,000,000 of inflows, and now holds over 38,000 Bitcoin for investors.”

This week’s market instability caused Bitcoin’s price to dip below $54,500. The anticipated repayments from Mt. Gox fueled selling pressure, resulting in significant value loss for Bitcoin starting July 2. On July 5, the asset reached price levels not seen in months following a transaction related to Mt. Gox.
