- BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded $315M in inflows, while others faced outflows.
- Scaramucci views Bitcoin as a long-term hedge, not a risk-on asset.
- On Oct. 30, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw record single-day inflows totaling $917.2M.
In a recent conversation on X, Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, expressed his opinion on the current Bitcoin sell-off and stated that it was unreasonable and primarily resulted from market fluctuations, particularly within the tech sector.
Understanding Bitcoin’s Position in Current Market Trends
According to Scaramucci, many investors consider Bitcoin a “risk-on” asset, which they have to sell during market downturns. He believes this behavior overlooks the utility of cryptos as long-term assets that diversify against future risk and volatility. His commentary follows significant movements in tech stocks, which often influence sentiment across various asset classes, including digital currencies.
During this period, other Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded outflows, while BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded a one-day inflow of $315 million. Scaramucci compared Bitcoin to common high-risk investments to emphasize that more analytical investors should begin to realize Bitcoin differently than traditional high-risk assets.
Investor Sentiment and Market Reactions
Despite a general trend of outflows in Bitcoin spot ETFs, which saw a net outflow of $54.9 million on November 1, notable exceptions underscore a more nuanced investor approach. For instance, on October 30, BlackRock’s IBIT and other spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively drew in $917.2 million—the largest single-day inflow since March. This suggests that while the market at large reacts to immediate pressures, there is sustained interest from a segment of investors who are possibly looking to ‘buy the dip.’
Such investor behavior coincides with Scaramucci’s previous assessments, in which he accurately foresaw a price rally following the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts. His recent statements reinforce his view of Bitcoin’s enduring value, advising followers to consider the long-term perspective and encouraging them to familiarize themselves with the foundational concepts in the Bitcoin white paper.
