Matrixport: Futures cool while bitcoin ETFs hold steady, markets wait for new catalyst

Matrixport said in a social platform post that as of mid-December 2024, the inflow of bitcoin ETF funds and bitcoin futures unpositioned squaring contracts (0pen Interest) reached about 35 billion US dollars. Since then, futures positions have fallen sharply, while bitcoin ETF funds flow has remained relatively stable. This suggests that short-term traders are leaving the market and may be selling their chips to long-term investors. Currently, funding rates and market volume are low, and significant growth in bitcoin ETF funding is less likely unless a new macro catalyst emerges.
