<p>One of the prominent reasons for the subsequent outflow in the BTC ETF is the decline in the price of Bitcoin by 10.01% in the previous week.</p>

<p>It is a one-week chart for BTC/USD depicting the decline in the overall <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/04/25/crypto-market-down-along-with-bitcoin-after-the-us-pmi-data/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market</a>. At the same time, the overall global crypto market has experienced a price decline.</p>
<p>A similar trend was observed in other ETF markets as well. Nate Geraci, ETF Store President, highlighted the outflows in the famous gold ETFs in an X post on May 2, 2024.</p>
<p>The post highlighted an outflow in iShares Gold ETF and SPDR Gold ETFs, which have had $1 billion and $3 billion, respectively, despite the increase in gold prices by 16% year-to-date.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">So, iShares Bitcoin ETF has first day of outflows ($37mil)…<br><br>Has taken in $15+bil ytd.<br><br>For perspective, iShares Gold ETF has $1bil *outflows* this yr. <br><br>SPDR Gold ETF has $3bil outflows.<br><br>And gold is up 16% ytd.<br><br>This is what ETFs do. Inflows don’t go up in straight line.</p>— Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) <a href="https://twitter.com/NateGeraci/status/1785849570552852579?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">May 2, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
<p>In his view, the growth in gold prices should attract inflows rather than outflows in gold ETFs. Moreover, for BTC ETFs, he said that this significant outflow is not expected to continue shortly.</p>
