Bitcoin ETFs See Outflows Amid Fed Rate Concerns
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US saw a lot of money being taken out on July 23 and 24.
This happened because people are worried about the US Federal Reserve possibly raising interest rates and some uncertainty around a new law called the Clarity Act.
Even though Bitcoin's price went up a bit to over $65,000 on Monday, the outflows show that investors are still cautious.
The Clarity Act is important because it could help shape the future of cryptocurrency in the US, but there are disagreements about some parts of the law.
Despite the recent outflows, Bitcoin ETFs still had some money coming in over the week.
Investors are watching closely to see what happens next.
Bitcoin ETFs saw $465 million in outflows on July 23 and 24, ending a seven-session inflow streak.
Concerns about Fed rate hikes and legislative uncertainty around the Clarity Act drove the outflows.
Bitcoin's price rose to above $65,000 in early Asia trading on Monday.
The Clarity Act faces disagreements over ethics provisions, with Democrats demanding tougher language.
Despite late-week outflows, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $33.8 million in inflows for the full week.
