tldr; Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. saw over $3 billion in inflows this week, marking the first full week of consecutive inflows in five weeks. The surge brought April's net inflows to $2.26 billion, reversing earlier outflows. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the rapid shift in inflow momentum, while BlackRock’s iShare Bitcoin ETF was recognized as the 'Best New ETF.' Bitcoin's price hovers around $94,613, with ARK Invest raising its bullish price target to $2.4 million by 2030, citing institutional adoption and its role as 'digital gold.' *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Not true. ARK Invest has never predicted Bitcoin would be at £1m by now. Their £1m prediction was for 2030. In case there’s any doubt, it’s currently 2025.

TLDR; ARK Invest has revised its bullish forecast for Bitcoin's price in 2030, raising the target from $1.48 million to a striking $2.4 million. The updated projection, released in ARK's latest Big Ideas report, reflects growing optimism surrounding Bitcoin’s long-term potential as both a store of value and an institutional investment asset. The jump in the bull case scenario marks a 62% increase from their previous forecast made in 2024. The original $1.48 million prediction was based on Bitcoin reaching widespread adoption across multiple sectors—most notably institutional portfolios, nation-state treasuries, and corporate balance sheets. Cathie Wood, ARK Invest’s CEO, had previously emphasized the role of regulatory clarity and the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs as key catalysts driving this valuation. At the time, Bitcoin was already gaining momentum with large financial firms entering the space and increasing market legitimacy. The updated $2.4 million figure incorporates a broader view of global adoption and assumes even more aggressive institutional participation. According to ARK’s modeling, if institutions allocate between 2.5% and 6.5% of their portfolios to Bitcoin, and if the asset continues to be viewed as a digital gold or a hedge against monetary debasement, such valuations become theoretically attainable. ARK also considers Bitcoin’s fixed supply and growing global demand to be core drivers of this upside. While the new target fuels excitement among Bitcoin bulls, ARK acknowledges that the road ahead is not without risks. Market volatility, evolving regulations, and competition from other digital assets could impact the trajectory. Still, with a growing number of governments and financial entities entering the crypto ecosystem, ARK sees Bitcoin as well-positioned for exponential growth through the end of the decade.

tldr; More than 70 cryptocurrency ETFs are awaiting review by the US SEC this year, covering assets like XRP, Litecoin, Solana, and memecoins. Institutional interest in crypto is growing, with 80% planning increased allocations by 2025. However, approval doesn't guarantee adoption, especially for altcoin ETFs, which may see inflows of $100M–$1B, far less than Bitcoin ETFs. Analysts suggest ETFs using derivatives could attract more institutional interest. ARK Invest recently added staked Solana to its ETFs, marking a first for US investors. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The ongoing trend indicates that Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant total outflow of approximately $650 million over four consecutive days, with substantial withdrawals primarily from Fidelity's FBTC and ARK's ARKB.

tldr; Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, predicts that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030 as institutional investors increase their exposure to digital assets. Despite recent market slumps, Wood believes Bitcoin's risk and return profile is attracting institutional interest. ARK Invest's report suggests a potential rally to $1.5 million would require a 58% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), while a base case assumes a 40% CAGR, leading to $710,000 per BTC by 2030. A bear case projects a 21% CAGR to $300,000.

There are lots of off-chain places to buy bitcoin now. Way harder to assess true demand. The ETFs kind of function like an L2. We should all demand that these ETFs post their addresses so we have a constant proof of reserve, just like ARK does.

Its safer than the stock market IMHO. I was down at the end of 2021 and I knew that I just had to wait till 2024, so I sold, rebuilt and re-entered in 2023. BTC is reliable like that. Cant say the same for Ford, Disney, ARK, Intel, Etsy and so many others. Most of Nasdaq is propped up by a handful of companies doing really well while everyone is struggling. I could go back hoping I get the next NVIDIA, Quantum or NIO and deal with all those sharks, or I can chill here and have fun every three years and throw it in storage for the other two.

Unless someone actually knows (as opposed to thinks they know) the future, there is no right answer. Especially in light of other factors like what other investments you have, if any, and how risk averse you are. It might not be a popular thought in this sub, but based upon the little you've said, you might consider something that gives you bitcoin exposure but also diversification. You don't have to buy and own bitcoin directly to benefit (or suffer) when it goes up (or down) in value. Hopefully this doesn't break the rules, but you could look at putting a sizeable amount into an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) that holds and trades bitcoin as part of a portfolio. Just to use ARK as an example I'm familiar with (but there are others), you could put somewhere between maybe 40-60% of your money in an ETF like ARKW (you can buy it anywhere stocks are sold like Robinhood) that has a bitcoin ETF as it's largest holding (11.5%) but also holds an array of tech stocks like Tesla, Roku, Coinbase, Meta, etc. In addition to the diversity, you don't have to worry so much about securing your bitcoin or making a mistake and somehow losing it. So all of that could help reduce your confusion and stress. Then you could put the remaining 40-60% in specific crypto or cryptos. So you could put the rest of it in a strictly bitcoin ETF like ARKB if you really want to get BTC exposure. Or you could maybe divide that remaining pile into 3 with 1/3 in a strictly bitcoin ETF like ARKB, another 1/3 in ETH (can buy at coinbase and other places) and play around with the last 1/3 (of that 40-60%) with some other coins (at coinbase or other places). Adjust as you see fit.

> ARK **ARK: Quick Analysis** ARK has been around since 2017, but they’re a great example of a project that lacks a clear marketing strategy. Here’s where they can improve: - **Traffic Diversity:** - 99.9% of their traffic goes to their homepage ([Traffic Example](https://i.imgur.com/PoVmyD9.png)). - Without PR, SEO, or other activities like webinars, they’re overly dependent on one page. This makes them highly sensitive to market shifts and competitors. - Their site (ark.io) is too small, with only a few pages. Adding more sections like a blog, resources, or tools would spread traffic and improve visitor engagement. - **Ecosystem Planning:** - ARK has split its projects across multiple sites (e.g., [arkscic.com](https://arkscic.com/), [arkvault.io](https://arkvault.io/)). - This strategy makes it harder to grow since each project has to stand alone. - Consolidating everything under ark.io, with a unified mission, blog, and tools, would simplify their message and drive growth. - **SEO Basics:** - Their blogs have hundreds of pages ([Example](https://i.imgur.com/vqlIJak.png)), but only 22 are indexed, and there’s **0 organic traffic** ([Evidence](https://i.imgur.com/pjvv7qR.png)). - They write only for their current users but lack a strategy to attract new ones. - Basic SEO improvements—like indexing pages, targeting relevant keywords, and optimizing meta data—are crucial. **Final Thoughts:** ARK has potential, but without a cohesive strategy to diversify traffic, unify their ecosystem, and improve SEO, they’ll struggle to grow.

This deserves a more thorough reply! > I think you're talking using a "free banking" approach to this topic while my approach is more of a "scalability of ownership". If you mean on-chain ownership, it certainly will not scale. > we need change to Bitcoin to actually solve this problem I don't think so. I also think that if we "need to change Bitcoin" for it to do xyz, then its not going to do xyz. The moment we find some mechanism to force hard-forks into the protocol it will cease to be interesting to me because those same forces are going to cause people to think we need to change the supply one day, because of whatever crisis or another, and the entire bet (in my view) is that these changes will be impossible irrespective of the crisis. > This is what LSPs do, but they have to open and close channels constantly and pass on the costs of the on-chain operations tot the user, ARK is a better approach to this problem than Lightning will ever be, but to be as good as self custody we need Covenants so the users don't have to sign constantly just to prevent their funds from being taken. Lightning is fine... but its not a panacea. Probably most end-users will not transact via lightning. Here is the key difference for Bitcoin in my view. We could come up with a system, completely off-chain, where users who held their Bitcoin in custody could know exactly which address accounted for their holdings and could use some kind of ZK proofs to know that the total claims on some address didn't exceed its reserves and that the custodian had access to transact that address. The corollary with gold would be something like... assigning UUIDs to the atoms or something. And the corollary with dollars would be for them to each have a provably unique and globally auditable serial number and for there to be some mechanism to enforce a supply cap. Bitcoin, as it is, has all of the pieces necessary to fix money whether or not we decide to execute on that or not. Not everything has to be solved at the protocol layer (and every suggestion on how to do so that I've seen has some fatal flaw that the creator hasn't considered or has discounted as less important than their "fix").

pakovm

Ok, we are not talking about the same thing here, although both your POV and mine on the topic are closely related. I think you're talking using a "free banking" approach to this topic while my approach is more of a "scalability of ownership". While you're correct in what you say, let me remind you of FTX, Celsius, BlockFi and many more cases that had Bitcoin in the name of their users, but they actually didn't, my point is that we need change to Bitcoin to actually solve this problem, instead of relaying on the free market doing its thing and expecting a different result this time we can solve it directly and change the definition of a bank from money warehouse, which can operate with less money that what they owe until they can't, to data relayer, which can't owe money since they can't hold nonexistent nor print IOUs, all they can do is transact in name of the users and pocket a fee for letting the users not have to use the chain which is slower and more expensive. This is what LSPs do, but they have to open and close channels constantly and pass on the costs of the on-chain operations tot the user, ARK is a better approach to this problem than Lightning will ever be, but to be as good as self custody we need Covenants so the users don't have to sign constantly just to prevent their funds from being taken.

Even if they play close to the belt an only have the 2 primes (bitcoin, ETH) they still get fucked by supposedly massive corporations… I think there’s a reckoning on the way because as it stands bitcoin was “supposed” to start spiking months ago, but thw buying pressure is gone and only being supported by maximalists (someone who will believe in a thing with cult like enthusiasm so they’ll keep buying regardless like SMC/ARK). Cathy Wood has been wrong about a ton of stuff and has a tendency to buy bad companies and sell them at a loss as well as buying good ones that she has sold at a loss as well. You either trust in something tangible whose value is supported by the global economy and the strongest economy on earth (the USD and it’s technologically advanced companies). Let the speculators fox with this nonsense. Are you still bullish if so many of the US population don’t play anymore? Because this environment feels way different and it’s almost like there’s a lead weight (we haven’t popped according to expectations) around Bitcoin since the major debacles of FTX and subsequent “crypto brokerages.”

Sent by you: The quotes below demonstrate the growing acceptance and recognition of Bitcoin's potential by leading figures in the establishment financial industry. I doubt they'd be saying these things, if with all their sophisticated analysis were not privy to, if BTC was going to zero. It's not just us small fry plebs putting faith into monetary system governed by mathematical code rather than by corrupt politburo-like central bank committees. - Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock: "Bitcoin is an international asset that can transcend borders and provide a hedge against inflation" - Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest: "Bitcoin's decentralized nature and scarcity make it a valuable asset in any investment portfolio" - Peter Thiel, Co-founder of PayPal and Palantir: "If Bitcoin ends up being the cyber equivalent of gold, it has great potential left"

tldr; The United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw inflows of over $1.1 billion this week, marking the largest since mid-July. The peak day was September 27, with $494.4 million in inflows. Leading the inflows were BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund. The total inflow for all 11 spot ETFs since inception is now $18.8 billion. This surge follows a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, with Bitcoin prices rising 13.8% since then. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have seen nearly $500 million in inflows over five days, with BlackRock's IBIT leading with $98.9 million. Despite some outflows from Fidelity's FBTC and ARK 21Shares' ARKB, the overall trend remains positive. Meanwhile, Ether ETFs also recorded inflows for the second day, with Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust receiving $26.6 million. Trading volumes for both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs have decreased slightly, but the inflow trend continues to show investor interest. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Covenants are not a scaling solution per se, but a primitive for Bitcoin Script, the Scripting language of Bitcoin, all they do is add a new type of restriction to Bitcoin transaction that developers can use when making Bitcoin Smart Contracts (in the real sense of the term, not the mEth term, which is pure marketing), they allow for non-interactive channels, channel factories and a whole lot of schemes that allow Lightning to scale ownership, which is something Lightning doesn't scale today, it only scales TPS, which is not ownership per se, ownsership and TPS scale together only on blockchains and Lightning is not a blockchain. But to put it simply, Covenants would allow sidechains to be completely trustless instead of federated systems, Lightning to have shared channels, maybe even eliminate the liquidity constraints altogether, they would allow for ARK, and cordinatorless coinjoins, all these things have already been proved to be work as they are sold in testnet, the Liquid sidechain and even other chains which also use an UTXO model. So my main reason to want covenants (and why all devs also want covenants) is because they allow us to scale without having to compromise the integrity of the chain on things that are more critical such as blockspace and the fee market.

Those numbers are pretty eye-opening. It's interesting to see how certain funds like Fidelity and ARK are taking a lead. It's like they really know how to catch the wave before it breaks. I wonder what this kind of inflow means for more casual investors looking to jump in.

In case anyone is curious: * Largest single day inflow since July is $263 million * Fidelitys Bitcoin fund led with $102 million in inflows * FBTC weekly inflows is $218 million * ARK Invest’s Bitcoin fund got $99 million in inflows * Zero flows for BlackRocks iShares and WisdomTree * Total weekly inflows into US BTC ETFs is above $400 million

tldr; US Bitcoin ETFs experienced their largest single-day inflow since late July, with over $263 million invested in one day. This surge in investment coincided with a significant increase in Bitcoin's price, which climbed past $60,000. The inflow was led by Fidelity’s Bitcoin (FBTC) and ARK Invest/21Shares’ Bitcoin Fund (ARKB), among others. The overall crypto market also saw gains, with Bitcoin reaching $60,200 and Ethereum up 8% to $2,400. The positive market sentiment is partly attributed to anticipation of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Bitcoin has regained momentum, surpassing the $60,000 mark, sparking discussions about the start of a bull run. The market has seen significant inflows of BTC, with institutional interest from entities like Fidelity, Bitwise, ARK Invest, and Grayscale contributing to a total inflow of $263 million in a single day. MicroStrategy continues to be a major corporate holder of Bitcoin, adding to the positive sentiment. The upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and potential rate cuts are also key factors influencing Bitcoin's price movement. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I agree, but for most people I think the most valid and productive usage of the spot ETFs is within a tax advantaged account where one would otherwise be unable to hold bitcoin inside their retirement account for example. Fidelity is the custodian of their own bitcoin and just recently a bank decided to step in to be the custodian for ARK's etf, so eventually it might even be common practice to have your credit union or bank hold bitcoin on your behalf as part of your checkings/savings accounts. I know your arguments about controlling the keys and self-custody apply to that situation too, but it might be part of the inevitable path towards widespread adoption of BTC by banks, companies, and the general public

tldr; U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant outflow of $287.8 million in a single day, marking the largest daily outflow in four months. This event occurred amidst concerns over economic growth and a sell-off in Nvidia, affecting market sentiment. Fidelity's FBTC led the outflows, followed by Grayscale's GBTC, BITB, and ARK. The outflow coincided with a drop in Bitcoin's price and broader market concerns following disappointing U.S. manufacturing data. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

people who bought at $15K, selling for +300% is an incredible deal for just about a year and few months people who bought $20K for +200% people who bought at $30K for +100% etc. that's all just in the last year, and you've got 15 years of history of buying you can also check the news, like yesterday there was a $100M sale of ARK bitcoin

tldr; BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF experienced its first outflow in nearly four months, with a $13.5 million withdrawal amid market volatility. This marks a rare occurrence since its launch in January, contrasting with the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF which saw a $5.3 million inflow. The outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock's, come as Bitcoin's price dropped 7.5% this week, testing the ETF's average cost basis for the fourth time. The ETF holds about 340,855 BTC, making it the third-largest global holder. This movement reflects investors' cautious positioning ahead of September, historically Bitcoin's worst-performing month. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Yes, but they are more like coinjoin coordinators than channel providers, also they are not custodians nor federations, they use very clever Bitcoin Script tricks such as connectors, which are like the contrary to a covenant, while a covenant is a very specific spending condition a connector is a very specific receiving condition. Only thing with ARK is that it needs covenants to realize its whole potential.

That's not what is happening. If it is then they have hedged against liquidation so they would offset the loses in the other direction.  Big sells at specific price points are typically winners taking profits. Take ARK investments for example. Their portfolio REQUIRES them to sell a portion of any asset they invest in once it breaks a 15% increase. This could mean liquidating hundreds of millions.

> I agree but to counter point, these big institutions just got the greenlight to invest. They aren't about to take the L like retail traders would. First, Cathy Wood's ARK Invest isn't a big institution. Second, these it's always the retail investors who take the loss. People like Cathy will always make money through large fees. > U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) managed by Ark Investment Management have wiped out a total of $14.3 billion in shareholder value over the 10 years ended Dec. 31, 2023, according to a report by Morningstar Inc. That is more than double the estimated total losses incurred by each of the next four fund families on Morningstar's list. Morningstar calculated total losses by measuring the decline in assets in dollar terms, after excluding inflows or outflows. I used to like Cathy back n 2015-17 when she had the first ETF to hold Bitcoin. Over the years she's slowly lost the thread.

LOL wtf does she know? Her ARK etfs are some of the worst performing piles of dog shit on the market. She's an overrated hack. I do agree with her here though but that's beside the point. She's not some authority on ANY of this stuff.
