Liquidations in the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector continued this Friday, but with less intensity. Some $277 million abandoned these products that day, which is a tremendous decrease compared to Thursday’s $671 million. For BlackRock’s IBIT fund, the issue was particularly negative.
According to data from Farside Investors, IBIT experienced outflows in the order of $72.7 million. This is the worst day of daily trading for this product since it went public at the beginning of the year. It is important to note that BlackRock’s fund is the pillar of the entire Bitcoin spot ETF market in the US.
The flows of this fund exceed even those of the ETF set. The latter is largely due to Grayscale fund liquidations. In any case, after keeping the price of Bitcoin afloat on several occasions, this week the BlackRock ETF was not able to keep up and ended up with capital outflows. Despite this, the sector’s performance improved, which was reflected in a relative improvement in the price of BTC.

If inflows stabilize again into BlackRock’s IBIT, the crypto sector’s recovery is likely to be a matter of days. The market is waiting for the reaction of the incoming US government to the stance of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

BlackRock’s IBIT fund is the key to recovery
The recovery in the Cryptocurrency market largely depends on the stability of the BlackRock ETF. If there is an improvement next week, the market will surely overcome the uncertainty related to Powell’s statements.
On Wednesday, during the press conference after the FOMC meeting, the official said that the Fed is not allowed to own Bitcoin. This position generated a strong liquidation reaction among cryptocurrency holders, which intensified throughout Thursday and part of Friday. However, the waters calmed, as the whales saw the crash as a buying opportunity.
Similarly, some analysts describe the possible scenarios and probabilities of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the US. The apparent result of this is that the Fed may not have the power to deny such an initiative should it be approved by Congress. On the other hand, it is highlighted that the reserve could be established through an executive order between the White House and the Treasury Department.
Broadly speaking, even if the Fed does not agree with Bitcoin, it has little to do if Trump’s proposal is fulfilled.
Now that the dust has settled, investors are beginning to return their capital to the crypto world. This reality could be consolidated with the recovery of BlackRock’s IBIT and the rest of the spot ETFs next week.
