ETF analyst James Seyffart has stressed that it is normal for these ETFs to have inflows and outflows.
"It’s just part of how ETFs operate. They have inflows and outflows. It’s normal and standard procedure. Theres not much you can guarantee but I can guarantee we will have bouts of outflows for these ETFs as a group over time. Like we saw most recently in April," he said.

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz recently opined that Bitcoin would need to break above the much-coveted $73,000 level to potentially touch $100,000 by the end of the year.
