Fact Check
The claim is supported by two separate Odaily newsflash items: one states U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs had $263 million in net outflows on April 27, and the other states U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs had $50.4794 million in net outflows on the same date. Both cite SoSoValue data. PanewsLab independently repeats the Bitcoin figure and also references SoSoValue. The X post at https://x.com/CryptooIndia/status/2048987947979215221 matches both numbers. Confidence is medium rather than high because the original SoSoValue page could not be directly validated in this run, so the evidence is consistent but mostly secondary.

Summary

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $263.2 million in net outflows on April 27, ending a nine-day inflow streak ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The reversal came as markets focused on upcoming macroeconomic catalysts including GDP, inflation, corporate earnings, and broader global developments, while Bitcoin traded near $77,000 and still held roughly a 14% gain over the past month. The flow shift was closely watched because spot Bitcoin ETFs have become an important channel for institutional demand and a gauge of market sentiment. Previously reported April 27 data also showed U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs posting about $50 million in net outflows, with total net assets at $101.23 billion for spot Bitcoin ETFs and $13.53 billion for spot Ethereum ETFs, and cumulative net inflows of $58.3 billion and $12.05 billion respectively.
