US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded over $2 billion in outflows this week, marking their second-worst withdrawal streak ever. The six-day selloff began on October 29 and has now erased more than $2.04 billion in assets.
Bitcoin ETFs Face Persistent Withdrawals
Bitcoin ETFs saw another $137 million in outflows on Wednesday, extending their losing streak to six straight sessions. Data from Farside showed continued redemptions as institutional investors moved funds away from the sector.
Tuesday recorded the heaviest withdrawals, reaching $566 million, following earlier sessions of $470 million and $488 million. The ongoing withdrawals have pushed weekly redemptions past the $2 billion mark, the second-highest on record.
The February selloff remains the worst, when Bitcoin ETFs lost $3.2 billion in a single week. That earlier wave included single-day redemptions of $1.11 billion and $757.8 million, showing how rapidly investor sentiment can shift.
Market analysts said the current pressure reflects short-term profit-taking following Bitcoin’s recent rally above $100,000. Farside data confirmed the trend, noting, “The outflows reflect tactical reallocations rather than long-term pessimism toward Bitcoin ETFs.”
Spot Ether ETFs continued to record heavy withdrawals, losing $118.5 million on Wednesday. BlackRock’s ETHA led outflows with $146.6 million, while Bitwise’s ETHW and VanEck’s ETHV showed stable performance.
This marked the sixth consecutive day of redemptions for Ether products, totaling nearly $1.2 billion. The selling pressure has persisted as traders adjusted positions following volatility in crypto markets.
Despite these redemptions, total cumulative inflows for Ether ETFs remain above $13.9 billion. Analysts said the data reflects resilient interest in digital asset exposure even during pullbacks.
Trading volumes across crypto ETFs have stayed high, suggesting ongoing institutional engagement. However, Bitcoin ETFs remain the primary driver of the current withdrawal wave.
Solana ETFs Maintain Strong Inflows
Solana ETFs, in contrast, reported continued inflows for the seventh straight day, attracting another $9.7 million on Wednesday. The total net additions since launch have now reached $294 million.
These consistent inflows highlight increasing demand for alternative crypto products despite weakness in Bitcoin ETFs and Ether funds. Investors have diversified allocations as Solana shows stronger market performance this quarter.
Market participants expect further inflows into Solana ETFs if the current momentum holds. Trading data indicates steady institutional support even as broader crypto sentiment fluctuates.
The US Supreme Court began hearings on President Donald Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for tariffs. Several justices expressed skepticism toward broad presidential trade powers, raising questions about policy limits.
Bitunix analysts said a ruling against Trump might not eliminate tariff risks since alternative statutes could maintain trade pressure. “Judicial risk is beginning to seep into macro liquidity expectations,” Bitunix stated on Wednesday.
They added that the US dollar gained strength on safe-haven demand as investors sought stability during the hearings. Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded near $100,000 with heightened volatility as Bitcoin ETFs continued to register heavy redemptions.
