The outflows on the Bitcoin ETFs subsided for the first time this week following days of heavy outflows totalling over $1 billion.
The ETF products recorded substantial net outflows, signaling a shift in investor sentiment amid a volatile crypto market experiencing one of the worst downturns in crypto history.
The U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $275.9 million, reflecting a continued sell-off by investors. This movement aligns with the current market trend, which is extremely bearish, while contrasting with the general trend of increasing institutional adoption of Bitcoin throughout 2025.
Farside Investors UK revealed that the largest outflow came from BlackRock’s (IBIT), which shed $189 million. This was followed by WisdomTree’s Bitcoin Fund (BTCW) with a $53.8 million exit.
The remaining ETF funds recorded outflows of under $20 million. At the same time, Bitwise’s (BITB) bucked the trend, attracting a modest inflow of $17.6 million
ARK 21Shares (ARKB) and Invesco Galaxy (BTCO) reported no net flows.
Bitcoin Drops to $80,000 as Market Downturn Worsens
Bitcoin, the flagship crypto asset, has dropped to 80,000, which is this year’s lowest price. The asset dropped by 8.2% in the last 24 hours to the dismay of market watchers who continue to wait for the price bottom.
The market downturn results from various factors, ranging from macroeconomic pressures to significant security breaches that have hurt the crypto community’s confidence.
Despite the daily setbacks, Bitcoin ETFs have seen significant interest in 2025, with BlackRock alone amassing $15 billion in inflows since January 2024.
The success of the Bitcoin ETFs has paved the way for the proposed launch of other ETF products. Asset managers have filed for approval of various ETF products since the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF launch in 2024.
