Why this doesn't look like a collective institutional retreat
Outflows were highly concentrated: From November 2–5, cumulative outflows were about $869.8 million, of which IBIT alone accounted for about $806.5 million.
There were both inflows and outflows: On November 4, there was a net inflow of about $128 million, with FBTC bringing in about $237 million that day.
Deleveraging was happening at the same time: More than $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in the crypto market that same week, mostly long positions betting on a rebound.
When might net inflows return?
There is no indicator that can accurately predict the date. A return is more likely after the following:
Risk appetite in U.S. stocks stabilizes and the dollar's rally eases.
Bitcoin falls to a level where buyers are willing to step in.
ETFs see net inflows for several consecutive days, with money flowing into more than just one product. IBIT saw another outflow of about $403 million on November 6, indicating that the trend has not yet reversed. If these conditions do not materialize anytime soon, outflows could continue into late November or even longer. #WCTCS9
