Bitcoin ETF netflows stay negative for Christmas Eve as the institutional investment vehicles lose another $175 million.
Tax obligations and the quarterly options expiry are blamed for the poor performance.
Hope remains for a broad rebound after the holiday season.
Data from UK-based investment company Farside Investors confirmed that on Christmas Eve, net outflows from the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) totaled over $175 million.
Bitcoin institutional capital saw no reason to wrap up for the holidays while Wall Street was still open this week.
Farside shows that a lengthy spate of selling continued right up until the last pre-Christmas US trading session ended, with net outflows at $175.3 million.
The tally is similar to that of the past five trading days, which each ended “in the red” for total net outflows of $825.7 million. Since Dec. 15, every trading day has been red except for Dec. 17, which managed to attract net inflows of $457.3 million.
Commenting, market participants attributed the ETFs’ weak performance to seasonality.
