Market Moves: Week Ending 28 June 2024

  • Cybersecurity ETFs (BUGG) were thrust into the spotlight after CDK Global, a major car dealership software provider, was hacked, leaving 15,000 car retailers unable to conduct business.1 As of July 2nd, CDK global has yet to resolve the situation and reports suggest the company will be forced to pay tens of millions in ransom fees.2
  • Bitcoin ETFs (EBTC, IBTC, VBTC) were a theme across the poorest performers last week after Mt. Gox, a crypto exchange in bankruptcy proceedings, announced it would begin the liquidation of roughly 141,000 bitcoins in July.3 Gox was once the largest spot bitcoin exchange in the world but shut down in 2014 after hackers stole roughly 850,000 bitcoins using a glitch in the system.4
  • There were $478.1 million in reported inflows for the week and $121.3 million in outflows, marking a week of net inflows for the Australian ETF industry.
