What an Unlikely Tale of Financial Bewilderment We’re Entering:
- The normally rational, black-suited space-goers fondly known as ‘institutions’ have apparently gone berserk. The U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have seen a perplexing $40 billion in trading volume last week, led by someone named BlackRock’s IBIT.
- Amidst a price plunge that would have plummeted even the heartier Vogons into despair, this trading frenzy suggests institutional capitulation-a term which might as well mean ‘washing their hands of the whole interstellar mess.’
The once peaceful expanse of the 11 U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs has been ravaged by trading activity last week. They recorded cumulative volumes of over $40.32 billion, indicating that it’s time for them to stop and ask themselves why they didn’t stay on the KrytenFund of Steady Profits instead.
Leading this regal parade of panic was BlackRock’s IBIT, contributing $27.79 billion to the trading volume, which is about as impressive as the amount of Babel Fish lubricant a Vogon could steal. It claimed nearly 70% of the total, according to the data source SoSoValue, which, in fairness, might be read while waiting in the Great Infinite Loop.
On a single revolutionary day last week, these funds witnessed over $11.01 billion in trading volume, with BlackRock’s IBIT monstrosity contributing $8 billion. Who knew the dull world of ETFs could get so lively, like witnessing the demolition quadrant being hit by an unwell slime-mould super computer-unlikely, yet somehow exhilarating.
Capitulation: More Like Whoopsie-daisy
The wild ride of activity comes with a plunge in Bitcoin’s price, enough to make even a Bulldozerman think twice about staying. This price drop shows itself in a sort of mass exodus-capital flight in its most glamorous form. Frightened, institutions are jettisoning their positions faster than a Vogon closing discussions with a towel.
Bitcoin’s price has fallen 23%-a drop that would plunge even the bravest souls into the depths of despair, reaching nearly $80,000 last week like a distress signal from the planet Hornussen. Our beloved IBIT has also slipped to its lowest level since April, or since the last joke that made a Magrathean laugh, whichever comes first.
The slide has rendered most ETF holders underwater, their weighted-average entry price stubbornly floating at above $90K, quite the sore thumb in the pool. It seems even holding a BTC was as ill-advised as Faxing a cover version of ‘Always Look on the Brighter Side of Life‘ to the President of the Universe to ask for lighter gravity.
Record redemptions worth $3.55 billion have been processed by these 11 ETFs this month-nearly enough to construct a new Graghall-pointly Multiplex without the Glornabular lights bothering to turn off. This certainly calls into question the prevailing belief that these entities take long-term positions. Perhaps those fears of an impending macroeconomic blow-up are causing people to think “Fitzquar” as they watch their assets drain.
