US Bitcoin ETFs Keep Falling for the 5th Week! Is the Party Over? 😱

by

Oh, the glorious saga of US-based Bitcoin ETFs! They’ve been riding high like a rollercoaster on steroids, with over $600 million flooding in over the past week. Investors in the good ol’ USA are feeling so optimistic, they might as well be wearing rose-colored sunglasses—except, of course, if they’re smart enough to see the crash coming. 🤡💸

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But wasn’t this the beginning of the end back in Q2?” Yes, dear reader, the start was so bad even a goldfish would’ve swapped its bait for a Bitcoin! But fear not, our crypto darling has somehow turned itself around, doing the fandango for five straight weeks—talk about persistence, or denial!

Bitcoin ETFs Flooded with $260 Million in One Day! The Artist Formerly Known as ‘The Crash’ Is Taking a Nap

Picture this: Friday, May 16th—like a scene out of a Hollywood blockbuster, the US Bitcoin ETF market saw a jaw-dropping $260.27 million parachute in on just one day! Yes, folks, three days in a row, these crypto treasures have been soaking up cash faster than a sponge in a rainstorm. 🤑🌧️

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the charge, scooping nearly $130 million, proving that even giant corporations love a good financial magic trick—making money appear out of thin air, or so they’d like to believe. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund added $67.95 million to its stash, while Ark & 21Shares’ ETF made a tidy $57.98 million. Last but not least, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust slipped a cool $4.61 million into its piggy bank. 🐷💰

This hefty $260 million boost on Friday pushed the weekly total past $603 million—absolutely fabulous, until you remember that the previous goldmine was over $3 billion in April. Ah, memories. Now, we’re down from the dizzying heights, like a balloon losing air after a long, exhausting party. The weekly inflow is trending downward, folks. Maybe our ETF investors are getting bored or realizing they’re chasing a mirage in the desert. It’s like watching a soap opera, but with more money and less sanity.

And surprise, surprise: the last time we streaked past $1 billion in a week was in late April—specifically, a whopping $1.8 billion. Call it the “Great Bitcoin Boogie,” but the energy seems to be fading faster than your favorite sitcom’s laugh track.

Bitcoin Price: Still Standing, Slightly Bewildered

Meanwhile, the price of BTC is playing it cool—hovering around $103,362—like a cat eyeing a fishbowl, undecided whether to jump or just stare. The recent ETF fireworks didn’t really shake things up much, which suggests that the market’s mood is more “meh” than “wow.” This little dance of prices shows us that Bitcoin is caught in a state of limbo: in a tight sandwich between despair and hope, with investors holding their breath (or their wallets) tight. 😅

So, folks, if you’re thinking of investing, remember: it’s a wild ride—full of ups, downs, and occasional faceplants. Buckle up, and maybe keep your funny bone handy—this crypto circus is far from over!
