U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded nearly one billion dollars in weekly net outflows, ending a six-week inflow streak that had previously attracted around $3.4 billion into the sector.
The week began with modest inflows before sentiment reversed sharply. Selling accelerated during midweek when investors withdrew more than $635 million in a single session, making it the largest outflow day of the period. A brief recovery later in the week failed to offset broader losses.
Despite the pullback, total assets managed by spot Bitcoin ETFs remain above $104 billion, while cumulative inflows continue holding above $58 billion.
Analysts linked the reversal to capital rotation toward AI-related equities alongside macro uncertainty and changing risk appetite. Markets are also closely watching crypto regulation developments and Bitcoin price levels as institutional positioning continues shifting across digital asset investment products.
