Bitcoin falls under $60K as BlackRock’s BTC ETF registers second-ever outflow of $13.5M

In this post:

  • Bitcoin falls below $60K ahead of the historic negative weekend sentiment.
  • US-listed Spot Bitcoin ETFs see joint net outflows totaling $71.8 million.
  • Bitcoin’s negative market performance has trickled down to the rest of the crypto market.

The value of Bitcoin has tanked ahead of the weekend following BlackRock’s Spot BTC ETF outflow. At press time, Bitcoin (BTC) is worth $59,367, with a minimal decline in the last 24 hours. 

The value of BTC today is almost 3% lower than it was seven days ago. Historically, BTC has dropped further down on the weekend compared to its Friday Wall Street close. 

Overall, BTC’s demand growth remains low and has turned negative in the last few weeks. According to data from Alternative.me, the crypto Fear and Greed Index now sits at 34, signaling fear among investors.

According to SoSoValue data, U.S.-listed BTC ETFs saw $71 million in net outflows on Thursday for the third day in a row, indicating that professional funds are exiting the market.

At this point, traders predict that market volatility will increase in the coming weeks. Despite favorable rate cut signs and endorsements from Republican nominee Donald Trump, BTC has generally traded sideways over the last week. BTC’s drop has led the rest of the crypto market down in losses. 

BlackRock’s BTC ETF sees $13.5M outflow in a day
