    Despite the recent bearish signs in BTC, ETH and SOL, Bitcoin ETFs has bounced back with $73 million of AUM net inflows by June 28 implying a stable market with reduced price swings.

    But with renewed buying interest, the Bitcoin ETFs bounced back, registering a $73 million net inflow as of June 28th.

    Interpreting Bitcoin ETF cash flow characteristics

    BlackRock Inc’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominated the list with $82.4 million in inflows, while Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) saw, of these outflows for the week, Second Premium Fund witnessed $27.2 million outflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC fund experienced $25 million outflows.

    Comparatively, on June 26th, FBTC and GBTC were the only ETFs to report an inflow of $18.3 million, respectively, alongside VanEck’s HODL with $3.4 million.

    All other ETFs had flat inflows, and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB was negative, and an outflow of $4.9 million was recorded. 

    Peter Schiff Critiques Bitcoin ETF Performance: An Evaluation

    When there is a lack of precision on BTC ETFs, financial analysts, and long-time Bitcoin sceptics, Peter Schiff wastes no time bashing them.

    Schiff wrote that he recently tweeted something similar to Gold ETFs.

    #Gold closed Q2 with a 4% gain. #Bitcoin still has two more days left to trade, but as of now it's down over 15%. Investors who sold gold ETFs at the end of Q1 to buy Bitcoin ETFs are 20% worse off. The bad news for those investors is that it will likely get much worse from here.

    He also did not hesitate to ask various investors reasons for their choice, saying

    “Investors who sold gold ETFs at the end of Q1 to buy Bitcoin ETFs are 20% worse off.”

    However, responding to his tweet, user Bitcoin Clown confronted Schiff with a question as follows:

    Analyzing Schiff’s Bitcoin ETF Critique

    This further emphasised that Schiff had no credible evidence to support his criticism of the poor performance of Bitcoin ETFs.

    Looking at the U. S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs over the past four days, investor flows have registered in three consecutive positive days.

    Altogether, these ETFs have witnessed an inflow of $137.2 million in new investments during this period, which infers that more investors are flocking to invest in these financial products.

    On the same topic, there was another user by the name of Lord Crypto who commented on social media and said that

    The past 4 days have seen increasing inflows to the US Spot #Bitcoin ETFs experienced a third consecutive day of positive inflows, with a cumulative $137.2 million coming in.

    Although, this total figure is minor compared to the $1.13 Billion outflows the market experienced 7… pic.twitter.com/AT7V36B8HR

    However, some doubts arise as to whether this high investor interest in BTC ETFs will remain unchanged upon the last approval and listing of ETH ETFs for trading.

    Further, the uncertainties are amplified when VanEck and 21Shares formally apply for a spot Solana (SOL) ETF.

    Effect on the Token’s Price During ETF Filing

    On the other hand, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana showed bearish movements with a reduction of 0.88%, As per data from CoinMarketCap, both had increased by around 2.22% in the last 24 hours.

    The analysis of the Santiment data indicated a lower average fluctuation of the price, which means that the market volatility of bitcoins is decreasing.

    This means that the price is experiencing smaller oscillations and consolidation, which means that market conditions are becoming more predictable and less volatile for investors.
