The recent significant outflows from U.S. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, totaling $583 million, have contributed to a bearish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. This marks the second-highest outflow since the introduction of these ETFs, reflecting investor concerns over macroeconomic uncertainties and the potential impact of President-elect Donald Trump's policies on inflation. Additionally, the U.S. government's approval to liquidate a substantial amount of Bitcoin seized from the Silk Road marketplace, valued at $6.5 billion, has added to market pressures. This potential increase in supply has created further uncertainty, causing Bitcoin to struggle in maintaining its recent highs.
The 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX) is currently priced at $52.90 as of 07:40 AM on Thursday, January 9.
