What ETF flows are
When investors buy shares of a spot Bitcoin ETF, the fund buys real bitcoin to back them: an inflow. When they sell and the fund redeems shares, it sells bitcoin: an outflow. Daily flow data is published by trackers like Farside Investors.
Why they matter
Large, steady inflows add buying pressure; sustained outflows add selling pressure. Flows also show how institutions and wealth managers are feeling. But they react to prices as much as they drive them, and they're only one part of the market. What moves crypto prices.
Can Indians invest in these ETFs?
