Spot Bitcoin ETFs Post $201M Outflow as Price Drops Below $78,000
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs broke a nine-day inflow streak with $201.8 million in net outflows as BTC retreated below $78,000.
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds registered $201.8 million in net outflows on Friday, ending a nine-day streak of continuous positive capital inflows. The outflow was led by redemptions in the ARK 21Shares fund as Bitcoin's price slipped below the $78,000 threshold.
The sudden outflow coincided with broader market consolidation following weeks of strong institutional demand. Total assets held across all U.S. spot Bitcoin funds briefly retreated below the $100 billion benchmark as traders pared risk.
Despite the single-day pullback, analysts view the movement as routine profit-taking rather than a structural departure from institutional allocation trends.
Key takeaways
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs ended a nine-day inflow streak with $201.8M in outflows.
- Bitcoin's price dipped below $78,000 during the session.
