Bitcoin ETF Outflows: $1.58B Exit Fuels Wall Street Feedback Loop
Recent reports indicate a significant shift in Bitcoin liquidity, with U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experiencing three consecutive trading sessions of net outflows, totaling $1.58 billion. This pullback follows a brief period of positive inflows. Large outflows were led by major funds like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC). The outflows impact spot-market mechanics, as ETF creations and redemptions are linked to spot Bitcoin exposure. Lower liquidity amplifies the price impact of selling. Macroeconomic factors, such as rising Treasury yields, add context, linking Bitcoin’s direction to broader risk-off sentiment.
