Major Market Sell-off

Wall Street crashed on Tuesday on the poor U.S. ISM data, which led to a market selloff and the massive outflows of capital. With a gain of 0.4 percentage points from July, the US ISM manufacturing index for August came in at 47.2%.

Compared to last Friday, when the overall trading volume for the spot bitcoin ETFs was $1.54 billion, Tuesday’s volume was $1.56 billion. Monday was a holiday in the United States, hence the market was closed. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $57,154, down 1.15% in the last 24 hours as per data from CMC.

Meanwhile, U.S. spot ether ETFs had their largest daily negative flows since August 2 with net withdrawals of $47.4 million on Tuesday. At $52.31 million, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) was the only spot ether ETF to announce outflows for the day.
