ETFs Are Crashing, But Who’s Paying Attention? 🚨

Key Highlights

  • Bitcoin and Ethereum are having a very midlife crisis, and ETF demand is basically saying, “Not today, Satan.” 🦓
  • BlackRock and Fidelity are playing “I’m not interested” with their ETFs, which is basically the crypto version of a bad breakup. šŸ’”
  • OTC sales are like the crypto market’s version of a messy divorce-no one wants to talk about it, but it’s still causing chaos. 🧨

Bitcoin and Ethereum are sliding faster than a TikTok trend. ETF activity is about as exciting as a spreadsheet. Factors like “geopolitical tension” and “macroeconomic updates” are basically the crypto market’s version of a bad day. šŸŒšŸ’„

CryptoQuant analyst Mignolet is basically saying, “Hey, ETF liquidity? Not happening. You’re welcome.” šŸ™ƒ The warning is so strong, it could power a small city. And don’t even get me started on FBTC and ARKB-they’re like the exes of the crypto world, refusing to move on. šŸ’”

Mignolet is basically yelling, “Look at these ETFs! They’re not even trying!” FBTC hasn’t even hit its old high since March 2025. ARKB? More like “A-RIP-B.” It’s like watching a sad TikTok dance. šŸŽ­

The market is basically saying, “We’re not ready for this!” Mignolet’s warning is so strong, it could power a small city. Short-term inflows? More like “short-term interest” in a dating app. If there’s no demand to absorb OTC selling, those coins will be like, “Bye, Felicia!” 🚪

ETF activity highlights investor caution

As of January 15, Sosovalue data reveals that BlackRock’s IBIT is basically the crypto market’s version of a “I’m fine, really!” lie. $315.79 million in inflows? More like “I’m fine, really!” šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø The fund’s $63.43 billion in assets is basically a fancy way of saying, “We’re still here, but barely.” šŸ—ļø

Fidelity’s FBTC? It’s like the crypto market’s version of a “I’m not sad, really!” lie. $188.89 million in outflows? More like “I’m not sad, really!” 🤭 Grayscale’s GBTC? It’s like the crypto market’s version of a “I’m fine, really!” lie. 0.01% loss? More like “I’m fine, really!” šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Bitcoin spot ETFs saw $100 million in inflows? More like “I’m fine, really!” But most of BlackRock’s IBIT buying is OTC, which is basically the crypto market’s version of a “I’m not trying to help you, really!” lie. Prices could keep falling while investors act like they’re at a family reunion. šŸ”
