It was an extremely painful week for the spot Bitcoin ETFs, as the outflows skyrocketed to new anti-record. The spot exchange-traded funds tracking the world’s largest cryptocurrency are typically a solid sign of how the underlying asset’s price performs, unlike some of the altcoins. As such, it’s perhaps no surprise that, in the past week, in which BTC plummeted to a 19-month low, they experienced massive net outflows. The worst on record.

The optimal settlement speed is not universal: it depends on payment network structure and liquidity conditions. Deteriorating liquidity shifts the optimum toward slower settlement, even when faster settlement reduces…
