Young Ju pointed out that the on-chain cost base of new BTC whales is approximately $56,000, and it is expected that if BTC reaches this price level, a large amount of capital will pour in Spot Bitcoin ETF Market.
Against the backdrop of falling Bitcoin prices, the recent Bitcoin ETF spot market has been bleak. Despite continued declines in net flows, prominent analyst and CEO of CryptoQuant Ki Young Ju predicts that the spot Bitcoin ETF market may recover.
On March 22, Ki Young Ju posted on X that even if the price of BTC continues to fall, spot Bitcoin ETF net flows may rise. Using data from historical net flow trends, the analyst noted that demand for a Bitcoin ETF typically arises when the cryptocurrency tracks a certain support level.
These BTC ETFs have recorded negative flows over the past four trading days, according to data from analytics firm BitMEX Research. The situation was marked by significant outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC, while other ETFs (mainly market leader BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC) saw record low inflows.
Young Ju noted that new BTC whales, especially ETF buyers, have an on-chain cost base of approximately $56,000. This shows that significant Bitcoin holders, especially ETF investors, typically purchase Bitcoin at an average price of $56,000.
Based on this model, cryptocurrency quants expect significant inflows into the spot Bitcoin ETF market if BTC reaches the above price threshold.
