Exchange-traded funds tracking the price of Bitcoin have seen a significant outflow of investments, with investors pulling nearly $1.2 billion from US-listed Bitcoin ETFs in just eight days leading up to September 6th. This marks the longest streak of outflows since their listing in January. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, the world’s largest Bitcoin ETF, experienced over $800 million in outflows during this period. As concerns about a potential US recession grow due to weakening labor market and business activity, investors are likely taking advantage of lower prices following last week’s selloff. Bitcoin’s price has dropped 20% over the past three months but saw a 1.6% increase on Monday to $55,233 as risk-on assets recovered. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Cardano also experienced gains while Solana dipped slightly.
