Bitcoin ETF Outflows Extend to Third Day as Ether Joins Slump

A composite image showing Bitcoin coins, financial dashboards with charts and data, and arrows indicating capital outflow and fund withdrawal.

The exodus from US spot Bitcoin ETFs has persisted for a third consecutive day, deepening year-to-date losses that have now reached $2.7 billion. Selling pressure expanded beyond Bitcoin, as Ether funds recorded $130 million in redemptions. This brings total withdrawals over the last 5 weeks to nearly $4 billion, underscoring a period of heightened institutional caution. However, the market displayed a notable divergence, with Solana and XRP ETFs recording positive inflows despite the broader slump. This selective appetite suggests that while major assets face liquidation, some investors are rotating capital into specific altcoins. Analysts are closely watching whether this trend signals a structural shift in how digital asset portfolios are being rebalanced amid ongoing market volatility.
