Spot Bitcoin ETFs Post $3.8 Billion in Outflows Over Five Weeks

US listed spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds have recorded five consecutive weeks of net withdrawals, with total outflows reaching approximately $3.8 billion. Data from SoSoValue shows that last week alone accounted for $315.9 million in redemptions.

The largest weekly outflow during the streak occurred in late January, when investors withdrew roughly $1.49 billion. While certain trading sessions saw inflows including an $88 million gain on Friday these were offset by heavier redemption days earlier in the week.

Since their launch, spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted about $54.01 billion in cumulative net inflows. Total net assets currently stand near $85.31 billion, representing around 6.3% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.

Institutional De-Risking Weighs on Crypto ETFs

Analysts attribute the recent withdrawals to institutional portfolio rebalancing rather than structural weakness in Bitcoin demand. Rising geopolitical tensions and uncertainty around interest rates have prompted risk-off positioning across asset classes.

Meanwhile, spot Ether ETFs have mirrored the trend, recording $123.4 million in net outflows last week despite isolated inflow sessions. Market participants say ETF flows will likely remain sensitive to upcoming economic data and broader macro developments.
