This investor group was now up about $3B in unrealized profit. This was a huge relief from the massive $22B in unrealized losses that they endured at the peak of the summer drawdown.
Interestingly, the ETF investors became diamond hands and remained resilient throughout their first Bitcoin winter. They retained over $55B in total inflows despite BTC’s 50% price decline.

Bitcoin ETFs attract $1B in fresh daily demand
Well, it seems the ETF OGs are ready to ride the potential next bull run as BTC winter comes to an end. This was based on limited insight from the Monday rally. The products attracted nearly $1B in net daily inflows ($998M), the highest daily demand since last October.

In other words, the ETF investors may not be selling anytime soon.
