Bitcoin Slips on White Paper Anniversary, Weekly ETF Outflows Hit $600M: Crypto Daybook Americas
Summary
Cryptocurrency prices generally moved downward, with Bitcoin falling slightly to around $110,000 on the 17th anniversary of its white paper release, while Ether dropped 1.3%. This dip coincided with significant investor caution, as spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $600 million in outflows this week, and ETH ETFs registered $184.3 million in outflows, reflecting growing macro anxiety over persistent inflation and uncertain Federal Reserve policy. Despite the short-term pullback, on-chain activity remains resilient, and Coinbase reported better-than-expected Q3 earnings, with its Base layer-2 network becoming profitable. Market participants are closely watching upcoming macro data releases and Fed commentary, as derivatives positioning suggests traders are leaning towards income strategies in the current price range.
