Bitcoin ETF Exodus: $582M Withdrawn in Second-Largest Outflow Ever

Bitcoin ETF Exodus: $582M Withdrawn in Second-Largest Outflow Ever

Substantial outflows have recently struck U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ether ( ETH ) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as economic uncertainties cloud the horizon. On Wednesday, investors withdrew approximately $741 million, marking a significant event in the cryptocurrency market's young history.

A critical observation of the day showed eleven bitcoin ETFs experiencing a combined net outflow of $582 million, as reported by SoSoValue, marking the second-highest total within a year of trading these digital financial instruments.

This figure comes close to the historical high of $680 million in outflows recorded on December 19. Fidelity's FBTC was notably affected, witnessing a record withdrawal of $258 million, closely followed by BlackRock's IBIT, which observed an outflow of $124 million.

As for ether ETFs, outflows amounted to $159.3 million, marking the largest since July 26, when withdrawals reached $162 million.

These significant outflows have occurred in the context of escalating U.S. inflation concerns, which have led to pronounced volatility in bond markets, simultaneously impacting risk assets. Over an unsettling three-day period, bitcoin's value plummeted by nearly 8.5%, failing yet again to sustain levels beyond the critical $100,000 threshold.

The Federal Reserve's December 18 meeting minutes, disclosed on Wednesday, revealed that officials believed the central bank approached a juncture warranting a decrease in the pace of policy easing. They also expressed concerns about the inflationary effects of the policy measures introduced by incoming President Donald Trump.

However, despite this backdrop of uncertainty, some market analysts continue to harbor hope for a bullish turnaround, predicating a potential upswing on the release of Friday's nonfarm payrolls report.

"The U.S. employment report on Friday is eagerly awaited by investors, offering essential insights into the state of the U.S. economy," remarked Valentin Fournier, an analyst at BRN, in an email statement. "We anticipate constrained volatility heading into the weekend. It's advisable to maintain significant exposure to digital assets, with a strategic preference for Bitcoin over Ethereum."
