Purpose Investments' Toronto-listed Bitcoin ETF, launched Feb. 19, held 10,064 BTC on Thursday. While that looks to be an impressive first-week growth, the pace of increase in holdings has slowed in the past three days.

The ETF has collected just 1,766 BTC since Tuesday versus 8,288 BTC in the first two trading days, according to data source Glassnode. In dollar terms, the AUM has increased by just $60 million in the past three days to $624 million compared to $564 million in the first two days.

Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst Eric Balchunas had predicted that the ETF's AUM would rise to $1 billion by the end of this week. Essentially, the fund needs to collect at least $376 million by Friday's closing bell. The ETF trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker “BTCC” and charges a management fee of 1%. Purpose's index information is provided by TradeBlock, a CoinDesk subsidiary.

The inflows have slowed in the wake of bitcoin's price pullback. The cryptocurrency peaked above $58,000 late Sunday and has been falling ever since. At press time, the cryptocurrency is down nearly 20% for the week at $46,300.

K33 Research says market fear is outweighing fundamentals as bitcoin nears key levels. December could offer an entry point for bold investors.

Cosa sapere:

  • K33 Research says bitcoin’s steep correction shows signs of bottoming, with December potentially marking a turning point.
  • The firm has argued that the market is overreacting to long-term risks while ignoring near-term signals of strength, like low leverage and solid support levels.
  • With likely policy shifts ahead and cautious positioning in futures, K33 sees more upside potential than risk of another major collapse.
