Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs See Massive Outflows as Investors Pull Nearly $1.13 Billion in a Single Day
The crypto ETF market faced one of the largest withdrawal days in history as both Bitcoin and Ethereum funds recorded massive outflows driven by institutional and retail investors alike.
Bitcoin ETF Outflow Hits $869.8 Million
According to the latest data, Bitcoin ETFs registered $869,860,000 in net outflows yesterday.
This marks the second-largest daily withdrawal ever recorded for Bitcoin ETFs.
Such a dramatic exit suggests heightened risk aversion among investors, driven by macro uncertainty, shifting interest rate expectations, and increased market volatility.
Ethereum ETF Outflows Reach $259.7 Million
Ethereum ETFs were hit as well, posting $259,720,000 in outflows during the same day. This figure also ranks among the highest recorded withdrawal days for ETH-based exchange-traded funds.
Institutional sentiment toward Ethereum has fluctuated in recent weeks as macroeconomic uncertainty and regulatory pressure continue to shape investor behavior.
Institutions and Retail Both Reducing Exposure
The scale of outflows indicates that both large and small investors chose to derisk simultaneously. Analysts point to several factors driving the move, including:
• renewed fears of delayed rate cuts by the Federal Reserve
• rising market volatility
• profit-taking after recent rallies
• growing caution around short-term crypto performance
A Historic Day for ETF Markets
Combined, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw over $1.13 billion withdrawn in a single trading session — placing it among the top record-setting days for crypto fund outflows.
While such large exits can pressure short-term price movements, analysts note that extreme outflow days often precede phases of market stabilization or rebound, depending on macro conditions.
For now, the ETF data paints a clear picture: both institutional and retail investors are entering a defensive posture, waiting for the next major macro signal before re-accumulating exposure to digital assets.
