US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs saw $1.8 billion in combined outflows over five days as shifting sentiment and rapid profit-taking drove market volatility.
US spot crypto ETFs recorded approximately $1.8 billion in combined outflows over five trading days, with $1.50 billion leaving Bitcoin ETFs and $327 million exiting Ether ETFs, according to Farside data. A notable $840 million inflow into Bitcoin ETFs on Jan. 14 quickly reversed as traders took profits. Gold and silver rallies also influenced market flows, with sharp reversals prompting risk asset selloffs. Bitcoin fell 6.50% over the week to around $82,500, while Ether slid 8.90% to $2,685. Analysts remain divided: Eric Balchunas sees current Bitcoin pessimism as short-sighted, while Matt Hougan expects sustained ETF demand to support long-term price gains.
