Oh, the drama! 📉 Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), those shiny toys for Boomer investors, only lost gasp less than $1 billion during October’s crypto crash that sent BTC’s price plunging 20%. Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shrugged, “Told y’all the ETF-using boomers are no joke. So who’s been selling? Let’s just say… the call is coming from inside the house. 🎬👻”
ETFs finally broke their six-day “hot mess” streak Thursday with a measly $240 million inflow. Balchunas shared a chart showing $722 million in net outflows over the past month. Because nothing says “I’ve got this under control” like watching $20 billion vanish faster than a magician’s rabbit. 🎩🐇
Turns out, Bitcoin whales and long-term holders (aka “HODLers”) decided to panic-sell like it’s a Black Friday sale at the crypto store. 400,000 BTC cashed out near $100,000, because obviously. October’s crash? The worst liquidation event in crypto history. Investment banks rushed to revise price forecasts faster than a reality TV star changes their mind. 🤯
Long-term HODLers: Selling faster than a caffeinated squirrel. ETF investors: “Eh, we’ll take it.”
CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn gasped: 405,000 BTC (worth $41.3 billion) dumped by “long-term holders” who apparently forgot the definition of “long-term.” Meanwhile, nearly half of ETF investors surveyed by Charles Schwab plan to buy crypto ETFs. Because why not? Beats emerging markets, commodities, and that timeshare in Tuscany that’s definitely a scam. 🍷💸
Shanaka Anslem Perera, author and crypto sage, tweeted: “ETFs are slow money. RIAs, pensions, and 401(k)s buy rules, not rumors. Traders puke, basis traders unwind, perps cascade.” 🧠💸
Analysts claim ETF inflows are the “floor” keeping Bitcoin’s price from cratering like a gluten-free cookie. Passive investors? They’re here for the long haul, betting on BTC’s future as a store of value (or a really expensive digital necklace). 🚀💎
