Bitcoin ETFs See Record Outflows Amid U.S. Election Day

DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW
Election Day Sparks Market Caution

👋 Hey Crypto Enthusiasts! Election day is here, and the crypto market is reacting. Let’s dive in!

It’s election day in the U.S., and crypto markets are already responding with caution. On Monday, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs saw a dramatic $541 million in net outflows - the largest since May 1.

This sharp reversal comes after a strong week where inflows totaled $2.22 billion, signaling a major shift in investor behavior as political uncertainty looms large. This pre-election repositioning shows that many investors are opting for a more cautious approach, wary of the potential market swings tied to the election outcome.

Amid this turbulence, only BlackRock stood out, recording net inflows of $38.4 million. The overall movement indicates a ‘wait and see’ stance among investors who prefer to minimize exposure to volatility.

Bitcoin’s price has mirrored this cautious sentiment, fluctuating around $68,000 - $69,500. Analysts are closely watching how the election results will influence Bitcoin’s future.

• With Trump's policies viewed as crypto-friendly, any confirmation of his win could trigger rapid price momentum, potentially pushing Bitcoin higher.
  

• On the other hand, if Harris secures victory, markets might not react as sharply at first but could see gradual adjustments as her regulatory stance unfolds.

Ethereum ETFs haven’t been spared from the pre-election jitters either. Monday marked their largest net outflows in six weeks, with $63.22 million exiting the funds.

As we move past election day, the short-term future of the crypto market will likely depend on who wins. If the outcome supports a crypto-friendly environment, we could see renewed confidence from investors and an increase in investments. However, if there are signs of stricter regulations, investors might become more cautious and pull back.

Keep an eye out, the outcome could shape the crypto market’s direction for weeks or even months to come.

Ethereum Usage is Growing

Even though Ethereum’s price has been under pressure lately, its on-chain adoption is stronger than ever.

• Glassnode data shows that over 42.6% of all Ethereum is now being used in smart contracts, an all-time high. This means more people are putting their Ethereum into protocols like AAVE, Lido, and Uniswap, likely to earn yield and participate in borrowing and lending activities, etc.

With the U.S. election underway, a Trump victory could potentially drive even more interest in Ethereum and related protocols like AAVE. This is noteworthy because Trump himself has previously utilized AAVE for his crypto project, World Liberty Finance.

If you haven’t been watching closely, now is a good time to pay attention to Ethereum and AAVE. Their adoption is set to continue, especially if Trump’s win fuels more interest in the crypto space and improves regulation.

Ivan On Tech - NO FAKK**ING WAY!!!!!!!!!!! (post election plan)(05.11.2024 Summary)

Ivan On Tech recently dropped some key insights on why the U.S. presidential election is critical for Bitcoin's future. With BTC floating around $68K-$69K, Ivan called this election “the most important day of the year” for crypto. The reason? A decisive outcome could push Bitcoin past its $70K resistance, opening the door for a leap to $90K or even $100K.

• Ivan made an interesting observation: mainstream polls show Kamala Harris leading, but betting markets, where people put their money where their mouth is, favor Trump.

• This matters because betting odds, backed by real cash, tend to be more accurate than media-driven polling, which can be biased or manipulated.

The stakes are high for crypto traders - volatility is where money is made, and Ivan stressed that the election could bring plenty of it. If you're a trader, watch closely; if you're a long-term holder, patience could pay off, as Ivan predicts Bitcoin’s price will surge post-election, regardless of the outcome.

With crypto's institutional popularity at an all-time high and millions of Americans invested, Ivan emphasized that this election could signal whether Bitcoin blasts off or dips to find a new bottom before its next move up.

Lark Davis - Bitcoin's Election Surprise (05.11.2024 Summary)

Lark shared his take on how the U.S. presidential election could shake up the crypto market.

• He believes a Trump win would be more favorable for crypto, possibly pushing Bitcoin up to $80-90K.
  

• On the other hand, a Harris victory might see Bitcoin dip to around $50K, based on predictions by Bernstein. But here’s the key point: Lark is clear that long term, none of this changes Bitcoin’s path toward $200K by 2025.

He also points out that retail interest is still low while institutional investors are driving this current surge, pension funds, big corporations, and even T-Mobile mining Bitcoin. This is seen in the low number of Google searches for Bitcoin. For Lark, there’s potential for even bigger growth once retail investors jump in.

The bottom line is that short-term election news might sway prices, but Lark’s message is simple: Bitcoin’s long-term growth is on track.
