Fondurile legate de criptografii sunt martorii încetinirii ieșirii de bani

The third quarter of 2022 has witnessed a slowdown in money flowing out of crypto-related funds, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Raportul a adăugat că încetinirea este un posibil semn că mulți investitori s-ar fi putut deja retras din clasa de active riscante.

Datele compilate de Bloomberg Intelligence au arătat că 17.6 milioane de dolari au fost retrase de investitori din fondurile tranzacționate la bursă cripto în cele trei luni încheiate pe 30 septembrie.

By Sep 30, that number had fallen below the record $683.4 million withdrawn from such funds in the second quarter, the data analysis showed.

According to the report, the past two months had witnessed the most outflows. Upwards of $200 million were poured by investors into crypto ETFs in July.

Gradul ridicat de ieșiri din trimestrul al doilea a fost legat de scăderea prețurilor criptomonedelor. Cel mai mare activ digital din lume bazat pe valoarea de piață, Bitcoin, a scăzut cu aproape 60% în timpul celui de-al doilea trimestru al anului 2022 și a înregistrat un minim record de 17,785 USD pe 18 iunie. Cu toate acestea, criptomoneda a crescut cu 3.7% în trimestrul al treilea.

The report stated that narrower price fluctuations aligned with the more muted crypto-linked ETF outflows in the third quarter. On Sep 30, bitcoin was trading above $19,400 – a range close to its prices at the beginning of the quarter.

Todd Sohn, ETF strategist at Strategas Securities, told Bloomberg, “I wonder if the second quarter was the ‘get me out part of these funds.” 

He added that the third quarter saw “some laggards” and investors who are just “keeping the faith mentality” and waiting for crypto to rebound.

With central banks around the world raising interest rates to curb soaring inflation, global banks have sunk in the past few months, and risky investments such as cryptocurrencies have fallen victim as recessionary fears rise.

“Everything’s more correlated right now,” Stephane Ouellette, chief executive officer of FRNT Financial Inc. – a crypto brokerage firm – told Bloomberg. 

“The people buying the ETF are in the same position as the people who are in Bitcoin,” he said. “Everyone’s panicking, so they’re acting the same.”
