🚰 More than $836 million outflows from Bitcoin ETFs this week
🔢 Data from Farside Investors for 18-21 March 2024 shows $836 million in outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, a total valuation across all 9 US spot ETFs. Is that a lot or a little? For comparison, liquidity inflows for 11-15 March into Bitcoin ETFs totaled over $2.5 billion, and for the week of 4-8 March, $2.2 billion. Overall outflows are therefore relatively small. According to Heyapollo there is now 823,599 BTC ($54+ billion) in US spot ETFs - at the end of last week there was over 831,000 BTC.
🏄 On the crypto regulatory front, three major pieces of news:
- The OKX exchange is ceasing operations in India
- US pressure on Kenya halted Worldcoin operations in the country
- Uzbekistan raised taxes on crypto exchanges
The crypto market has gone sideways. Bitcoin ETF outflow.
📉 A small outflow of funds from the Bitcoin ETF has continued all week: $154 million on March 18, $326 million on March 19 and $261 million on March 20. Positive days in the first half of March produced $500 million to $1 billion of capital inflow into ETFs. The influx of liquidity into the remaining 8 ETFs continues, but sales from Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF are ongoing. Bitcoin is at $67,100, Ethereum at $3,500.
📊 In general, this means that early investors are now fixing their positions, but there is no significant drop. And even alts are growing, including Fantom, Sui, Ondo, and Jup. I would also like to note the growth of TON to $4.15.
💹 We will continue to monitor the market.
📌Liquidity outflow from ETFs and BTC is below $63,000
📢Crypto investors are realising profits (i.e. selling), and the same goes for the outflow of funds from ETFs. According to BitMEX Research, the liquidity outflow from GBTC - the largest ETF - for 18th of March was $643 million. According to Farside Investors, the total outflow of funds from ETFs for 18th of March was $154 million.
🤔This is not much: we saw similar figures in January, after the approval of ETFs. It's the first negative day since 1st March, but such an outflow is quite enough to trigger a sell-off. Ethereum is down to $3,245, BNB to $515, and Solana to $176.
🇵🇰IMF may force Pakistan to legalize crypto
👮 If the country does not impose capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies and real estate, the IMF will not give the $3 billion loan essential for Pakistan to avoid defaulting. But cryptocurrencies are currently banned in Pakistan, which is why there are no taxes on them. The government will have to go along with the IMF and legalize crypto then tax it, to get their hands on that loan.
🔩 Crypto regulation in Pakistan
📊Bitcoin correction has started?
📉By the way, BTC price today has fall down up to $66,153 per 1 BTC and Ethereum - $3,600. And that’s absolutely logical - someone fixes profits. However, I’m still bullish on the long term cycle as Crypto Quant founder Ky Young Ju - we will see $100,000 per 1 BTC this year.
📈Moreover, total amount of BTC on the balance of American Spot ETF is continuously growing - 833,000 BTC (about 12k BTC more for just 2 days). You may see the list on the screen. Moreover part of the drop has already been bought back and BTC is almost $68,000. Additionally we get information that Salvador has almost $400 mln in Bitcoin (5,689 BTC).
💼The president of Salvador Nayib Bukele has stated that the country has this amount of BTC in a cold wallet and it got in not only by buy out crypto, but also selling passports for bitcoin.This is one of many examples to me that the non-public cryptocurrency holdings of various major players are much larger than is currently known and a liquidity crisis on the seller side of BTC is very possible this year.
🇸🇻Expect more information next week about crypto regulation in El Salvador and opportunities to acquire that country's passport. One of the currently popular jurisdictions outside the European Union. The policy of the authorities is to create a Latin American Dubai there.
📈Where Bitcoin will go next: analyst forecasts
📊Currently there is a slight correction in the crypto market - the price of Bitcoin dropped to $71,000 by the evening of March 14. However, a decrease of $2,000 with an increase to $73,000 can be considered insignificant. The question is where the market will go next.
🆙CEO of the CryptoQuant analytical platform, Ki Yong Hu, believes that most likely the market growth will continue in the next six months. The reason is the lack of liquidity on the seller's side. On his Twitter, he published a graph showing the number of bitcoins in the wallets of large holders, which continues to accumulate, and the correlation of this quantity with the price of Bitcoin.
🔝At the moment, this is already more than 1,600,000 BTC from the total emission of 19.5 million. I estimate that this is more than 8% of the total available cue ball. At the same time, a significant amount of the existing Bitcoin emission has been irretrievably lost - 3,700,000 BTC according to Chainanalysis, and there are estimates that almost half. If we take into account all these factors and add the likely reduction of the US Federal Reserve rate to the elections in the country, then Ki Yong Hu's forecast may come true, and the bull market will continue - for example, to $100,000 - $140,000 per 1 BTC.
📢Another analyst and trader Josh Oltsevich warned of a possible correction soon - based on graphical analysis, since Bitcoin is now in an ascending wedge and usually such a market becomes bearish.
🎉So if institutional investors do not start selling sharply (and information about their wallets is now public and we will quickly find out about it), then the rally may indeed continue.
🤓Bitcoin's new ATH is $73,000 and TON is at $4.50. What's next?
📈 Bitcoin has updated its ATH to $73,000 and the total balance of all spot U.S. ETFs has surpassed 800,000 BTC - on 13th March, it’s at 821,397 BTC ($59.3 billion), according to ETF tracker HeyApollo. Including other Bitcoin ETFs, that figure is even higher - no less than $65 billion, according to our calculations.
✈️ The price of TON, a cryptocurrency popular on Telegram, reached $4.50 today, surpassing its previous ATH from November 2021. On 23rd February, this cryptocurrency was worth just over $2, which is more than 100% growth in less than a month. All this is happening against the backdrop of news about the upcoming Telegram IPO.
📈 BNB broke through the $600 level.
🙅 Many experts predict that the bull run and altcoin season will continue, but there is also a considerable risk of correction. For instance, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas believes that, judging by the commission's behavior, the SEC plans to refuse to approve an Ethereum ETF in May. This may become a red flag for the market.

📈 Bitcoin near ATH: what about regulation?
🐂 The bull run on the crypto market continues with 2024’s new ATH - $68,770. The main reasons are:
- general recovery of the global economy (gold and stocks rising, too)
- the inflow of liquidity into Bitcoin ETFs
- positive expectations from halving and Ethereum ETFs
⚖️ I think we'll break through $70,000. However, let's get back to crypto regulation. Below is a short digest of the main crypto regulation news from the beginning of March:
🇮🇩 Indonesia will abolish existing taxation on every crypto transaction. The country has a new, pro-crypto president.

🔩 Global crypto regulation guide
✈️ Telegram will avoid regulation risks
💸 According to a statement by Pavel Durov in his channel, Telegram will avoid regulation risks by limiting the messenger's share in TON to 10%. The excess coins will be sold to long-term investors with a vesting period of one to four years. This is a good decision and very timely: if Telegram's share in TON grew significantly in the future, regulators could make legal claims against the messenger.
❤️ In short, Telegram and TON reduce legal risks by this step, and also take an important step in the development and transparency of their ecosystem. It's important to note that acceptance of TON as a payment method for Telegram advertising may be a start to the mass adoption of TON payments in other spheres.
🏆 Bitcoin reaches $60,000 and nears 2021 highs
📈 BTC price hit $60,000 today. It’s a great event for the whole crypto industry - the highest ever price of $68,789 was recorded in November 2021. The main reason for this price movement is growing investment in ETFs: total liquidity in US spot Bitcoin ETFs this week is more than $44 billion. Combined with European ETFs, the total is about $50 billion.
⚖️ The rising price of BTC will increase the demand for crypto regulation, especially for launching companies and legal exchange procedures.
