Fed Signals Three Rate Cuts Are Still Likely, Despite Inflation Uptick
A net $742 million left the ETFs from Monday through Wednesday, reflecting outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and a moderation in subscriptions for rival offerings from the likes of BlackRock Inc. and Fidelity Investments.
The funds have garnered net inflows of $11.4 billion to date, data compiled by Bloomberg show, still one of the most successful debuts for an ETF category.
Bitcoin jumped more than 5% on Wednesday in the US as Federal Reserve signals pointing to interest-rate cuts boosted a range of asset classes. The rally in the original cryptocurrency fizzled in Asia on Thursday, contrasting with further gains in global stocks and gold, as the ETF flows data permeated markets.
Crypto regained some of its impetus after the Fed decision, but more work is needed to “get this pumping as a momentum move,” Chris Weston, head of research for Pepperstone Group, wrote in a note.
Bitcoin traded at $67,300 as of 7:33 a.m. in London, about $6,500 dollars shy of the all-time peak achieved on March 14 during a crescendo of bullishness about the ETFs as well as looming reduction in the token’s supply growth.
