<p>Ark Invest has been doing major reshuffling to its portfolio over the last two months. While selling some of its major holdings in crypto firms like <a href="https://coingape.com/ark-invest-sells-coinbase-as-cathie-wood-talks-bitcoin-tesla-ai-with-elon-musk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a> and Block Inc. Ark Invest has liquidated more than 300K shares of Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) to increase its exposure to Bitcoin products as well as Tesla.</p>
<p>Along with purchasing its own Bitcoin ETF, Ark Invest purchased 29,624 shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA).</p>
<h3 id="why-is-btc-price-dropping-despite-strong-etf-inflows">Why Is BTC Price Dropping Despite Strong ETF Inflows?</h3>
<p>The Bitcoin price has been facing strong selling pressure with the <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-btc-price-close-under-38000-can-trigger-another-15-20-correction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC price</a> dropping under $40,000 earlier this week. BTC experienced a 0.27% decline on Thursday, partially reversing the 0.37% gain observed on Wednesday. The day concluded with BTC settling at $39,981.</p>
<p>Investors remain confused as to why is the BTC price falling despite strong inflows in the spot Bitcoin ETF. In a recent observation, Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart emphasizes the nuanced role of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in the cryptocurrency market, specifically in the context of Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Seyffart <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1750562017448985039" target="_blank">contends</a> that while ETFs now represent a substantial portion of the market, they should not be viewed as the market itself. He points out that Bitcoin ETF inflows can coincide with declining Bitcoin prices, and conversely, outflows can align with rising prices. Seyffart suggests that this dynamic should not be perplexing, drawing parallels with other asset classes like equities, bonds, or gold.</p>

 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Don't know who needs to hear this. But ETFs aren't THE market themselves. Yes they're now a big slice of the pie but there's a lot more to the pie. Bitcoin ETF inflows can coincide with falling <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#bitcoin</a> prices. Outflows can coincide with rising prices. Shouldn't be confusing?</p>

<p>The analyst clarifies that funds, including ETFs, constitute only a subset of the larger supply and demand balance that determines prices in the market. On the other hand, the <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-bitcoin-etf-grayscale-outflows-slows-down-but-theres-a-catch/?utm_source=24hrsupdateall" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">outflows from Grayscale</a> have slowed down while BlackRock Bitcoin ETF continues to garner strong inflows.</p>
