Crypto investment products saw $500M in outflows last week: CoinShares

  • Crypto investment products saw an outflow of $500 million last week.
  • Bitcoin saw the most outflows with $479 million, while Ethereum recorded $39 million in outflows.
  • CoinShares’ weekly report shows most of the outflows were in the US, where Grayscale’s ETF witnessed over $2.2 billion in outflows.

Digital asset investment products saw a significant spike in outflows lask week, according to digital assets investment firm CoinShares.

CoinShares’s latest weekly report shows the crypto investment products market saw outflows totalling $500 million..

Bitcoin saw $479 million in outflows

According to the asset manager, the global outflows from crypto investment products reached $409 million in the US, $60 million in Switzerland and $32 million in Germany – the three regions with the highest outflows for the week ending January 26.

“Bitcoin has understandably been the primary focus, seeing US$479m outflows, while short-bitcoin saw further inflows totalling US$10.6m. Altcoins predominantly saw outflows last week, with Ethereum seeing US$39m, and Polkadot and Chainlink seeing US$0.7m and US$0.6m respectively,” James Butterfill, the Head of Research at CoinShares wrote in a blog published Monday.

Buttefill notes that outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC ETF, which reached $5 billion since the ETF started trading on January 11, may have contributed to overall outflows across other regions.

The outlook also contributed to the recent declines for Bitcoin price, which traded to lows of $38,600 as GBTC saw over $2.2 billion in outflows last week. However, net inflows for the recently approved US ETFs was $807 million.

“We believe that much of the price falls, despite these positive flows, was due to Bitcoin seed capital being acquired prior to 11th January,” Butterfill added.

Bitcoin traded around $42,320 on Monday morning (6:20 am ET), up 4% in the past week. BTC was looking to extend the gains after recovering from last week’s dip below the psychological level at $40k.

Meanwhile, Ethereum price was hovering near $2,275, down 4.3% in the past week.

Crypto price prediction: Sui, Monero, Memeinator (MMTR)

  • Memeinator is approaching $4 million in its token sale.

  • There is demand for new meme coins as evidenced by Wen’s performance.

  • Sui and Monero have been in a strong uptrend lately.

Cryptocurrency prices remained in a tight range on Monday as investors waited for the next catalyst. Bitcoin remained at $42,000 while the total market cap of all digital coins remained at $1.63 trillion. Other coins like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana also remained in a consolidation phase. This article looks at key cryptocurrencies like Sui, Memeinator (MMTR), and Monero.

Memeinator token forecast

Memeinator is an upcoming cryptocurrency that aims to replicate the success of meme coins like Bonk and Pepe. It aims to do that by creating a meme coin that has a wide community and utility in itself. Some of this utility will come from its Artificial Intelligence (AI) features and gaming. The developers have partnered with Red Apple Tech to build its immersive game.

The developers have also launched a major competition that will see a lucky winner go to space using Virgin Galactic’s shuttle. A single trip to space will cost at least $250,00 and over 400k people have already signed for the promotion.

There are other signs that the network is gaining traction. For example, data in its website shows that it has raised over $3.9 million from investors. It is nearing its target of raising $4.02 million, making it one of the most successful token sales in the market. You can buy the MMTR token here.

Another sign of its success is that the number of social media followers have jumped recently. There are now over 108.6k Twitter followers in the network and the number is growing.

Meanwhile, there is a sign that investors are open to new meme coins. For example, Wen, a new Solana token has gone parabolic as demand rises. Its market cap has surged to more than $126 million. 

Monero price forecast

Monero’s XMR token price has surged hard in the past few days. It has risen from the YTD low of $142.62 to a high of $164. The coin has jumped above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages even after several exchanges delisted it because of its privacy features. 

Notably, XMR price has risen in the past six straight days while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has risen above the neutral point to 60. Therefore, the outlook for the coin is still bullish as investors target the year-to-date high of $180.54, which is about 10% above the current level.

Sui price forecast

Sui token has bounced back in the past few weeks, making it one of the best performers in the market. Turning to the daily chart, we see that the coin has crossed the important resistance point at $1.4440, its highest point on January 14th. It has flipped this price into a support level.

Sui has remained above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages and invalidated the double-top pattern that has been forming. Therefore, the outlook for the coin is bullish, with the next point to watch being at $1.80. The stop-loss of this trade is at $1.30.

Harvest Fund files for spot bitcoin ETF in Hong Kong: report

  • Harvest Hong Kong is the first institution in Hong Kong to file for a spot Bitcoin ETF.
  • A local news outlet suggests the Hong Kong Financial Services Commission (FSC) could announce a decision in coming weeks.
  • The US recently approved 11 ETFs, including for BlackRock, Fidelity and Grayscale.

Harvest Hong Kong, one of the largest fund companies in China, has filed for a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded-fund (ETF).

A Tencent News report says that the company filed the ETF application with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (FSC) on January 26, 2024. Harvest Fund is the first institution to submit a proposal to list a spot Bitcoin ETF in Hong Kong, the news outlet noted.

According to the report, the regulator could release its decision on the ETF after the Lunar New Year holiday. However, market experts say the SFC could take a cue from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and look to approve several ETFs at a go.

Institutions eye spot ETFs

Early this month, the SEC approved 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs, with the nod coming after a decade of market anticipation. The SEC’s court loss to Grayscale paved the way for the eventual approvals, including for BlackRock, Fidelity Investments and Bitwise.

Analysts have noted a decent performance for the ETFs amid massive outflows for Grayscale’s GBTC.

As Hong Kong reportedly looks to allow its first spot Bitcoin ETF, the outlook contrasts with South Korea. In the aftermath of the SEC decision, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) warned financial institutions and brokerages regarding the trading of spot ETFs.

However, the country’s top office looked to intervene, asking the FSC to reconsider its stance on the issuance of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the country.

Bitbot picks momentum as Avalanche leads altcoin recovery

  • Avalanche has spiked double-digits amid new momentum forecast for rally to $100.
  • BITBOT could be the pick of presale tokens with its investment potential buoyed by its likely dominance of Telegram crypto trading landscape.

Bitbot (BITBOT) token is creating a huge wave of interest from traders as the market bounces following Bitcoin’s upside this weekend. Meanwhile, one of the top altcoins currently signaling potential momentum is Avalanche (AVAX).

AVAX has seen double-digit gains as analysts point to its future potential. The opportunity available with BITBOT’s presale is however attracting huge attention.  

Avalanche (AVAX): A potential rally to $100?

Avalanche (AVAX) stands out as one of the top performing altcoins in the past 24 hours. The token’s price was trading at $35, up 12% as bulls pushed higher following the recovery from lows of $32. 

With prices up 8% in the past week, it looks like Avalanche is building fresh momentum.

Crypto analysts are bullish on AVAX long term. Amid other factors, Avalanche’s growing traction as a smart-contracts Layer 1 blockchain and expectation ahead of Bitcoin’s halving could prove key tailwinds for AVAX price.

A rally similar to the breakout recorded when prices rose from lows of $9 in 2023 could put AVAX on the track to December highs of $50. Amid a bullish outlook for the Avalanche network and the broader market, it is possible AVAX is one of the top altcoins currently trading below $100.

But while this token may present a good investment opportunity, investors eyeing near-term gains are also aware of what’s possible in the presale market.

Bitbot (BITBOT): Redefining Telegram based crypto trading

Bitbot’s upcoming launch of a new Telegram trading bot has the entire space excited. As the crypto presale landscape becomes one of the best markets for unearthing gems, traders keen on what’s trending have flocked to Bitbot.

The Telegram trading bot looks to stand out from the rest by focusing on the security of its users’ assets. Its non-custodial trading solution is the first in the world for Telegram trading apps. With it, users can trade directly from their app’s interface. 

Wondering what this means? Simply, this is the feature that puts into practice the fact that if its “not your keys, [its] not your crypto.”

Also key are the anti-MEV and anti-rug features that add another security layer, with users protected against MEV bots and potential scams.

Also distinguishing Bitbot is that its trading solution delivers institutional-grade tools to retails traders. Anyone can leverage the same tools institutional investors tap into to trade different cryptocurrencies and products, regardless of a trader’s skill level or experience.

BITBOT presale attracts traders

Bitbot’s advanced trading capabilities and security, market experts say it could dominate the Telegram trading space. That has seen a remarkable surge in interest for BITBOT, the ERC-20 token of Bitbot.

The token will offer holders governance rights in the Bitbot ecosystem. It will also provide access to key network features, including revenue share, trading discounts and access to best presale gems in the market.

BITBOT’s presale launched last week, hitting stage 1 milestone within 72 hours as traders allocated $200k to their positions. The project continues to see this pace, with over $346k raised so far as stage 2 draws to a close.

According to the Bitbot whitepaper, a total of 300 million BITBOT are available in the presale phase. This accounts for 30% of the total supply of 1 billion BITBOT. 

A total of 20 million tokens will be available at each of the 15 presale stages as the project targets to raise $4.32 million.

GBTC outflows slow, signalling possible rebound; $GFOX set for major rally

Available data and expert submissions show Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trusts (GBTC) outflows are trending down, suggesting that the dumping spree may soon end.

Although the outflow number is still considerably large, a rebound looks to be on the horizon for $BTC prices, and investors’ confidence is gradually returning. Galaxy Fox holders also expect a significant rally from the meme coin post-presale. The meme coin has performed impressively in its ICO phase, and observers expect more in its retail phase. 

Galaxy Fox sets for retail exchange debut 

Galaxy Fox is a new token on the rise. The multi-utility token aims to dominate the crypto space and yield profit for investors while at it. Galaxy Fox will be a beneficial currency in web3 space. It will play vital roles on numerous web3 platforms while overseeing everything in its ecosystem. The purchase-worthy meme coin has shown a glimpse of its profitability on presale, and many expect it to keep the momentum going. 

Galaxy Fox is heading towards its retail phase with many expectations from crypto enthusiasts. The meme coin’s outlook holds much promise and will live up to them. With a well-founded prize pool and Stargate, Galaxy Fox will allow users to earn from its ecosystem via the P2E mechanism and token staking features. Holders will also be able to explore web3 opportunities with $GFOX,

Early and late $GFOX adopters will likely gain from the meme coin in the coming months. The presale is nearing incredible milestones, leaving it on the verge of completion. Galaxy Fox has smashed $3 million, with over 92% of its stage 7 token allocation sold. The next stage will commence, and it’s expected to sell faster and at a higher token price. Hence, the best time to join the $GFOX presale is now. The meme coin’s features indicate it’s a token with excellent prospects, and investors will find it profitable.

Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trusts (GBTC) outflow reduction sparks optimism 

$BTC ETFs trading commenced the second day after approval, and the trading volumes have been impressive. Major concerns have been about high outflows, especially from GBTC. Grayscale Bitcoin Trusts (GBTC) outflows are about 106,092 $BTC since the commencement of ETF trading, amounting to approximately $4.4 billion over nine trading days. 

The high numbers have impacted $BTC’s price negatively, prompting investors to lose trust in the cryptocurrency. However, recent developments show that Grayscale selling volume is gradually reducing. Data from BitMEX indicates GBTC outflows slowed for two consecutive days and had its smallest daily outflow since trading commenced on January, 24. The $429 million outflow was about 33% lower than GBTC’s sell-out at the start of the week. 

This event has prompted predictions of a possible $BTC rebound, with many industry experts airing their opinions. Eric Balchunas believes that while GBTC outflows are still large, the seeming downtrend is a sign that the mass exodus is gradually reducing. However, Eric states there are ‘too many unknowns’ to determine exactly when the massive sell-out will stop. 

James Mullarney, another market expert, also shared his opinion on the issue. He believes the significant reduction in Grayscale’s selling activities indicates a possible change of strategy by GBTC, calling it a positive sign for the crypto market. The experts believe the decrease in Grayscale’s outflows could spur $BTC’s price stability and bring back investors’ confidence. This means a $BTC recovery rally is imminent, and the top cryptocurrency will be back on track to break into the $50,000+ price level weeks from now.

Conclusion 

The reduction in GBTC’s daily outflows indicates an imminent end to the mass exodus on the $BTC ETF. Experts believe this will positively affect the cryptocurrency’s price movement. Thus, investors are optimistic about a possible BTC rebound. Similarly, Galaxy Fox is readying for a major surge as it nears its retail phase. The altcoin has shown great promises on presale, and it looks poised to live up to them. Hence, investors looking to improve their financial standings this year can consider joining the presale immediately.
