Spot Bitcoin ETFs traded in the US experienced strong outflow pressure this week. According to the latest data, a total net outflow of approximately $1.26 billion was recorded from spot Bitcoin ETFs. This marks the largest weekly outflow since the end of January. The funds also reported net outflows for the sixth consecutive trading day.
On Monday alone, around $649 million flowed out of these funds. While the pace of outflows slowed somewhat later in the week, capital outflows continued overall. Market analysts pointed to several factors driving this trend. These include rising US Treasury yields, a strengthening dollar index, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Investors appear to be moving away from risky assets like cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum ETFs Also Bleed
A similar picture emerged for spot Ethereum ETFs. They recorded net outflows for 10 consecutive trading days. This is the longest outflow streak since March 2025. The total weekly outflow for Ethereum ETFs was approximately $216 million. This suggests that the broader crypto market is not immune to the same macroeconomic pressures affecting Bitcoin.
However, not all is grim. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), managed by BlackRock, continues to hold a substantial position. It currently manages about $61.1 billion in assets. But recent market fluctuations have affected the fund’s current size. This is despite cumulative inflows of around $3.7 billion since its launch. It seems that short-term volatility is overshadowing long-term accumulation.
Current Prices and Broader Context
As of the close of the ETF trading day, Bitcoin was trading at roughly $77,500. Ethereum moved in a narrow range around $2,130. These price levels reflect the cautious mood in the market.
Despite the sharp short-term outflows, the longer view remains somewhat positive. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have managed to attract a total net inflow of about $57.1 billion since their launch. The total assets under management for these funds stand at approximately $98.9 billion. So while this week was rough, it doesn’t erase the broader picture of adoption.
This is not investment advice.
