There was a substantial change in the crypto market! President Donald Trump has just declared a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and the market is already responding! But why was there a net outflow of $370 million from Bitcoin ETFs instead of a bullish rally? Let’s dig deeper into this one!
On March 6, Trump signed an executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Sounds bullish, right? But here’s the twist: the government isn’t buying Bitcoin. Instead, this reserve will only hold seized BTC from cases and law enforcement efforts.
Instead of a market rally, we saw Bitcoin drop more than 2%, and ETFs had a staggering $370 million net outflow. Why? Traders hoped the US government would buy Bitcoin, but they didn’t!
Crypto analysts say this is a classic ‘buy the rumor, sell the news’ event.”📌 Ryan Rasmussen (Head of Research at Bitwise) said, “The US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve means that other countries will start accumulating BTC, and institutional players can no longer ignore Bitcoin.”
