The once-super-hot U.S.-listed spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ran into their worst stretch on record in the final two months of 2025, as investors yanked billions, capping a brutal year-end for a product that has been a key driver of institutional adoption.
The 11 spot ETFs cumulatively registered a net outflow of $1.09 billion in December after a much steeper $3.48 billion in November. That amounts to a combined two-month redemption worth $4.57 billion, the largest since their debut in January 2024, according to data source SoSoValue.
The wave of outflows indicates a marked decline in institutional appetite for the leading cryptocurrency and coincided with a 20% slide in bitcoin’s price over the same period. The previous worst two-month stretch came in February and March, when investors pulled a total of $4.32 billion.
