Bitcoin ETF Outflows Continue to Rise

Data shows Bitcoin ETFs lost around $1.3 billion this week alone, extending a three week streak of net outflows. Monthly withdrawals have now reached nearly $2.3 billion, highlighting weaker demand from institutional investors during recent market volatility.

Bitcoin’s price has also fallen sharply, dropping from nearly $80,000 to around $73,000 during the same period. Analysts say the decline comes as investors increasingly shift funds toward stronger performing sectors, especially AI, semiconductor and technology stocks.

Institutional Demand for Bitcoin Slows

Large investment products have also seen pressure. One major Bitcoin ETF recently recorded its biggest single day withdrawal since launch, suggesting some investors may be reducing crypto exposure.

Despite the selling pressure, market analysts note that previous periods of heavy ETF outflows have sometimes appeared near local Bitcoin price bottoms.
