Last week (March 24-27), more than $290 million was withdrawn from Bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock's IBIT fund took the brunt of the blow, with investors withdrawing $201.5 million on March 27 alone.
Why is this important?
ETFs are the main channel for institutional money
Outflow = investors are reducing risks
Reasons for market pressure:
โข Increased geopolitical tensions
โข Donald Trump's harsh statements on Iran
โข Oil prices rise above $100
โข Increasing inflation expectations
What's next in the chain:
Oil โ โ Inflation โ โ Fed doesn't cut rates โ pressure on risky assets (including crypto)
Against this backdrop:
โข Bitcoin fell to $67000 (a 3-week low)
โข The S&P 500 has been falling for 5 weeks in a row โ its worst streak since 2022
Conclusion:
The market is currently in risk-off mode โ investors are moving away from risky assets to more defensive ones.
