Matrixport: Futures cooling, while Bitcoin ETF remains stable, market awaits new catalysts
Matrixport released a chart today, showing that as of mid-December 2024, Bitcoin ETF inflows and Bitcoin futures open interest both reached around $35 billion. Subsequently, futures positions have declined significantly, while Bitcoin ETF inflows have remained relatively stable.
This indicates that short-term traders are exiting the market, likely selling their positions to long-term investors. Currently, funding rates and market trading volume are both low, and unless new macroeconomic catalysts emerge, the likelihood of significant growth in Bitcoin ETF inflows is relatively small.
