Bitcoin ETFs Hit by $1.82B Shock as Investors Panic

Exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors have withdrawn nearly $1.82 billion from spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs that are based in the US over the last five trading days, with the weakening of market sentiment following the precious metals rally. According to Farside, spot BTC ETFs lost $1.49 billion, while spot Ether ETFs experienced $327.10 million in net outflows.

ETF Outflows

The outflows coincide with the spot prices of both cryptocurrencies dropping, despite brief signs of their recovery. BTC and Ether prices have dropped 6.55% and 8.99%, respectively, over the last week and are now trading at $83,400 and $2,685, according to CoinMarketCap. The price of Bitcoin has declined by 5.13% in the past 30 days.

Analyst Perspectives

Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst, described the negativity around Bitcoin’s recent price action in relation to gold and silver as “very short-sighted”.

“Bitcoin spanked everything so badly in ’23 and ’24,” Balchunas said, pointing out that people appear to have forgotten that. Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer of Bitwise, stated on X on January 15 that “If ETF demand continues over the long term, Bitcoin’s price will go parabolic.”

Market Outlook

The recent withdrawal of funds and drop in prices have changed the sentiment of the market. Some analysts even warn of a possible leverage shakeout. On the other hand, the same analysts believe that long-term investors can use this situation to buy BTC and Ether at discounted prices.

To sum up, the crypto market is going through a turbulent phase as investors are cashing out their BTC’s and Ether-related ETFs. While certain analysts interpret such behaviour as a bad sign, others argue that it gives one a chance to buy at a discount.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
