Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $51.28 million in outflows on Wednesday, breaking a seven-day streak of nearly $3 billion in inflows. The shift followed the Federal Reserve’s decision to lower its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, accompanied by a more cautious outlook on future rate cuts. Ethereum ETFs also faced redemptions, with net outflows for two consecutive days, totaling $63.59 million. Despite this, cryptocurrency prices saw minor gains, with Bitcoin rising 0.3% and Ether up 1.7%.
