Bitcoin Updates: Federal Reserve's Cautious Pause Triggers $550 Million Outflow from Crypto ETFs as Bitcoin Approaches $100,000 Support Level
- Bitcoin fell to $108,325 as Fed policy uncertainty triggered $550M ETF outflows, signaling investor unease near $100K support. - Fidelity's FBTC led $164M exodus, while Ark & 21Shares and BlackRock's funds lost $143M and $159M, respectively. - Analysts link selloff to Fed's dovish pause, citing prolonged low rates as harmful to crypto's long-duration assets. - ETF outflows reflect waning confidence, with Bitcoin ETFs now holding 6.75% of its $2.17T market cap.
On October 29, Bitcoin's value plunged to $108,325.44 as uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's next moves led to $550 million being pulled from crypto exchange-traded funds, reflecting mounting investor anxiety as Bitcoin neared the critical $100,000 support mark.

Ethereum ETFs performed somewhat better but still faced $81.44 million in net outflows. Fidelity's FETH led with $69.49 million withdrawn, while Grayscale's ETH and ETHE products saw outflows of $16.18 million and $12.83 million, respectively. BlackRock's ETHA was the only fund to buck the trend, attracting $21.36 million in new investments. In total, Ethereum ETF trading volume climbed to $2.43 billion, but its market capitalization dropped by 2.68% over the past day to $471.23 billion, Coinpedia observed.
The recent market upheaval reflected broader declines across the crypto landscape. Bitcoin's daily trading volume jumped to $64.45 billion, but its total market value slipped to $2.17 trillion as it fell below the key $110,000 level. Ethereum's trading volume reached $38.44 billion, though its share of the overall market cap now stands at just 5.58%, according to Coinpedia.
Experts link the selloff to comments made by Powell at the Fed's October meeting, which hinted at a halt in rate reductions for 2025. "Markets are now factoring in a longer period of dovish policy, which spells trouble for crypto," one strategist explained, noting that higher interest rates tend to negatively impact assets with longer-term cash flows—a point Coinpedia emphasized.
The ETF withdrawals underscore a broader change in investor outlook. Bitcoin's total ETF assets under management have dropped to $149.98 billion, making up 6.75% of its total market value. For
