Despite this, it wasn’t sufficient to counter Germany’s BTC selling spree. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Over the past three trading days since July 5, Bitcoin investors have directed substantial funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. The news sources have reported that in total, these inflows add up to $654 million.</span></p>

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust, attracted $121 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin (BTC) Fund garnered $91 million. Across all US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, total net inflows on July 9 reached $216.4 million, equivalent to 3,760 Bitcoin, as per data from Farside Investors.</span></p>

However, despite these investments, Bitcoin has struggled to climb back over $60,000 since July 4. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency trades at $59,165, reflecting a nearly 15% decline over the past month, according to TradingView.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Some analysts remain optimistic that ETFs will boost Bitcoin’s price, as seen before March when Bitcoin hit a new all-time high. Sina G, co-founder and chief operating officer of Bitcoin custody consultancy firm 21st Capital, commented on this phenomenon:</span></p> 
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“The run-up from $16K to $73K was largely driven by the ETFs, following a buy-the-rumor buy-the-news phenomenon. Up to mid-March ETF flows were very strong, and the market moved up. Since then, ETFs slowed down, and bankruptcy outflows took over, causing weak price action to go down to $56K,” wrote Sina G.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">However, the inflows to US Bitcoin ETFs have not been enough to counterbalance Germany’s recent Bitcoin selling spree. Germany’s Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), the country’s federal criminal police, seized nearly 50,000 Bitcoin in mid-January amid an investigation into a movie pirating website. Since July 5, the BKA’s wallet has reduced its BTC holdings by more than $850 million. According to Arkham Intelligence, large amounts of Bitcoin are being transferred between wallets owned by centralized exchanges and market makers.</span></p> 
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Currently, the BKA’s wallet holds 23,960 Bitcoin worth $1.4 billion, which is less than half of the total Bitcoin initially seized from the film piracy site Movie2k in mid-January. Onchain data from Arkham shows that the BKA began selling Bitcoin on June 19 and intensified its efforts at the beginning of July.</span></p>

Spot Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund have seen substantial inflows, yet Bitcoin prices remain under pressure. Analysts are hopeful that continued ETF investments will drive up Bitcoin’s price, though recent trends highlight the complex dynamics at play in the crypto market. </span><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://thebitjournal.com"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">The BIT Journal </span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">continues to watch and report these developments, providing the latest crypto updates on major currencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).&nbsp;</span></p>
