Overall, $124.9 million flowed out of GBTC, according to on-chain data. In comparison, $4.6 million flowed into Fidelity's FBTC, and $11.1 million went into Bitwise's BITB.

Up to Thursday, all the bitcoin ETFs have reported a weekly outflow of $227.9 million.

There's currently a belief within the market that continued outflows from GBTC put selling pressure on BTC and drive down prices.

However, that belief is not universal, and some market participants have a wait-and-see approach, highlighting that outflows are expected from GBTC, given its higher fee structure.

Traders are pricing in some price stability for bitcoin in the remaining weeks of April, with bettors on Polymarket putting the chance of BTC hitting $75,000 at 60% by month's end and the chance of it hitting $80,000 at 32%.

Robinhood misses Q4 revenue estimates as fourth-quarter results dinged by crypto slump

Crypto revenue fell 38% year over year to $221M, even as the company expanded token listings and crypto features across its platform.

Ano ang dapat malaman:

  • Robinhood’s fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.66 topped estimates for $0.63, but revenue of $1.28 billion fell shy of forecasts for $1.33 billion.
  • The crypto slump paid a large part in the miss, with crypto revenue falling 38% from a year earlier to $221 million.
  • Robinhood’s results mirror broader crypto-market weakness, which is also expected to weigh on rival Coinbase (COIN), and HOOD shares fell about 7% in post-market trading after the earnings release.
