U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Record $679M Weekly Outflows
Key Facts
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest weekly withdrawal since late June, totaling $679 million. TokenPost reported that these outflows were accompanied by significant liquidations in Ether ETFs, which saw withdrawals amounting to $542 million.
The massive exit of institutional capital is driven by fading bullish momentum and rising downside risks in the digital asset market, marking the most substantial withdrawals since June 2026. This shift toward risk-aversion indicates a change in investor sentiment following a period of high market volatility.
