Bitcoin Falls; ETF Outflows Likely Driven by Macro De-Risking, Profit-Taking -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11:41

0341 GMT - Bitcoin falls in early Asian trade. The cryptocurrency's underperformance over the past week has been driven by sharp ETF outflows, which likely reflect a combination of macro de-risking and profit-taking following earlier gains, Sygnum Bank investment strategist Can-Luca Köymen says. Bitcoin has also come under pressure from a stronger dollar, higher Treasury yields and uncertainty around ceasefire talks in the Middle East. While its hedging role has weakened in the short term, Sygnum doesn't see the recent decline as invalidating Bitcoin's broader portfolio value. "The recent weakness in Bitcoin ETF flows is likely a short-term positioning reset rather than a structural deterioration in institutional demand," Köymen says. He expects bitcoin flows to rebound quickly if macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions stabilize. Bitcoin is down 1.2% at $61,399.66. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
