Spot

In a significant development for the cryptocurrency market, Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been acquiring Bitcoin at a rate far outpacing the amount produced by miners. Over the past two trading days, inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded miner <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/bitcoin-miners-set-for-a-tough-ride-as-2024-halving-nears-jp-morgan/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">production</a> by over 10 times, signaling a potential shift in market dynamics and supply scarcity, according to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etfs-scoop-10-x-more-btc-than-mined" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cointelegraph</a>.
On February 12, preliminary figures indicated that approximately $493.4 million, equivalent to around 10,280 Bitcoin, flowed into Spot Bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust led the charge, witnessing inflows of $374.7 million, while Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund and Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF also saw significant inflows. In contrast, <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/russias-bitcoin-gold-rush-mining-machine-influx-outpaces-rest-of-the-world/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin miners</a> produced approximately 1,059 BTC, valued at about $51 million, which represents just 10% of the BTC acquired by ETFs on the same day.
This trend continued from February 9, when around 12,700 BTC, valued at $541.5 million, entered ETFs, against the 980 BTC produced by mining activities. BlackRock, Fidelity, and Ark 21Shares were the primary beneficiaries, while outflows from Grayscale and the Invesco Galaxy ETF slightly offset these inflows.
The massive demand from Spot Bitcoin ETFs, spearheaded by significant players like BlackRock and Fidelity, underscores Wall Street's growing appetite for Bitcoin. Anthony Pompliano's comment that "Wall Street loves Bitcoin" highlights this trend, pointing out that the demand for Bitcoin now far exceeds daily production by a factor of 12.5x. Furthermore, the fact that around 80% of Bitcoin's total supply has not moved in the past six months exacerbates the supply scarcity, making the available tradable Bitcoin even more valuable.
This surge in ETF inflows has effectively absorbed 5% of the entire tradable supply of Bitcoin in just 30 days, according to Pompliano. This development could have profound implications for the Bitcoin market, potentially leading to increased price volatility and highlighting the need for strategic investment decisions in the face of dwindling supply and heightened demand.
