On February 25, as the price of the leading cryptocurrency hit year-to-date lows<\/a>, outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs surged to $1.01 billion<\/a>\u2014nearly double the previous day’s figure of $516.41 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This marked the largest outflow since the approval<\/a> of BTC-ETFs in January 2024. For comparison, the second-largest outflow was $680 million on December 19.<\/p>\n

The cumulative inflow shrank to $38 billion, while the AUM<\/span> of these products fell to $101.44 billion.<\/p>\n

Trading volume for these products reached $7.74 billion.<\/p>\n

On February 25, the largest daily outflow was from Fidelity\u2019s FBTC at $344.7 million, followed by BlackRock\u2019s IBIT with $164.4 million and Valkyrie\u2019s BRRR with $100 million.<\/p>\n

According to a study<\/a> by 10x Research, a significant portion of Bitcoin ETF volumes (56%) is linked to arbitrage, where traders profit from the difference between spot and futures prices.<\/p>\n

In the current environment, funding rates and basis spreads are too low to justify holding positions and opening new ones, noted Marcus Thielen, founder and head of research at the firm.<\/p>\n

Rachel Lucas of BTC Markets told The Block<\/a> that the outflow was due to profit-taking after Bitcoin’s strong growth in 2024 and weak performance this year. Investors are also concerned about the Fed’s<\/span> policies and US-China trade relations, she added.<\/p>\n

Lucas believes that while ETF outflows could increase volatility, the long-term supply-demand balance remains strong, considering the emission reduction after the halving in April 2024.<\/p>\n

Withdrawals may have a short-term impact on price, but this does not necessarily lead to a prolonged downturn, as dynamics are driven by a combination of spot market purchases, network activity, derivatives positioning, and macro factors, the expert indicated.<\/p>\n

Previously, Binance CEO Richard Teng described the correction in digital gold prices as a “tactical retreat”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bitwise forecasts that net inflows into BTC-ETFs could exceed $50 billion<\/a> by 2025.<\/p>\n

In February, former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes suggested Bitcoin could fall to $70,000<\/a> due to ETF outflows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
