Bitcoin ETFs Herald Less Febrile Token Longer Term, Traders Say

view original post

Bitcoin started the week nursing a slump that stoked fears of outflows from dedicated US exchange-traded funds. Instead dip buyers poured in cash, a pattern that for some points to a less volatile token longer term.

A net $737.5 million was added to the 11 ETFs in the four days to Thursday, steadying Bitcoin near $58,000 after a drop to $53,602 on July 5 amid sales of seized tokens and fears of disposals by creditors of the failed Mt. Gox exchange.
