Dialogue with Bloomberg ETF Analyst: Why Bitcoin ETF Holders Did Not Sell During the 50% Plunge

In a recent interview on Coin Stories, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst James Seyffart discussed the resilience of Bitcoin ETF holders, who largely held their positions despite a 50% price drop, contrary to expectations of panic selling. Seyffart noted that while there was a $9 billion outflow from Bitcoin ETFs starting October 10, it was minor compared to the $250-300 billion inflows prior, and outflows have since reversed by $20-25 billion. He attributed this "diamond hands" behavior to educated investors who understand Bitcoin’s volatility and typically allocate only a small portion (e.g., 1-5%) of their portfolios, leading to rebalancing rather than selling during dips. The conversation also covered the entry of major institutions like Morgan Stanley, which is launching its own Bitcoin ETF, leveraging its vast client assets. Seyffart highlighted the growing efficiency of ETFs, with physical redemptions now allowed, potentially enabling direct Bitcoin transfers to holders in the future. However, he expressed concern over the concentration of Bitcoin custody with Coinbase. Additionally, Seyffart discussed the inverse flow trends between Bitcoin and Gold ETFs recently, with Bitcoin acting more like a risk-on growth asset. He remains optimistic about Bitcoin ETFs eventually surpassing Gold ETFs in size due to Bitcoin’s diverse use cases. Finally, he emphasized the importance of diversification in the current volatile market, where traditional hedges have largely failed, and cash.
