As the Bitcoin ETF market is seeing inflows again, the issuers are purchasing BTC in huge volumes. Fidelity and ARK Invest, two of the leading issuers, acquired more than $40 million in Bitcoin since yesterday.
Rumors also suggested that BlackRock, the largest ETF issuer, made similar purchases, yet these remain unverified. Overall, the fresh acquisitions from asset managers could contribute to a much-needed bullish narrative for the market.
Will Bitcoin ETFs Influence a New Bullish Cycle?
After weeks of consistent ETF outflows, the market is starting to pick up again. On Monday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $274 million in net inflow—the largest daily inflow since February 28.
Meanwhile, blockchain analytics platform Arkham claimed that BlackRock is also making large BTC purchases.
“ARKHAM ALERT: BlackRock is buying $40 Million BTC. BlackRock is buying. Fidelity is buying. Ark is buying,” the firm stated via social media.
However, despite these claims, the on-chain data does not match up. Fidelity and ARK Investments both acquired large amounts of BTC today, posting inflow transactions of $41.16 million.
Both ETF issuers had other Bitcoin inflows, but BlackRock’s on-chain data actually shows a net decrease in BTC holdings.
These other leading ETF issuers have indeed been purchasing Bitcoin, as independent verification can clearly show. ETF analyst Shaun Edmondson claimed that they bought 665 BTC last Friday and 3,261 BTC on Monday.
Bitcoin’s price has been highly volatile, which might be adding to confusion regarding the ETF market. Last week, the issuer’s collective holdings fell below Satoshi’s wallet, a milestone they passed three months ago.
However, it looks like institutional investors are regaining the confidence to enter the market, as most Bitcoin ETFs have turned green this week.
Overall, institutional investors have been a key influence on Bitcoin’s market movement for the past year. If net inflow remains positive in the ETF market, it could help create a much-needed bullish narrative in the face of today’s bearish sentiment.
