Spot ETFs Absorb 2800 BTC Daily...Demand Shocks Market

According to The Block, James Butterfill, head of research at crypto investment fund Coin Shares, diagnosed a "demand shock for Bitcoin as demand for BTC spot ETFs has exploded." "Bitcoin is being mined at a rate of 900 per day, but the US BTC spot ETF is buying 2,800 units per day. This is causing the market to experience a demand shock, with BTC holdings on centralized exchanges down 28% compared to 2020," he said. "Historically, BTC prices have moved in tandem with interest rate cut expectations, but this has not been the case since the launch of BTC spot ETFs," he added.
