U.S. Bitcoin ETF Outflows Hit $1.5 bln in Two Weeks, Surpassing $5.1 bln Since February

Data from CryptoQuant reveals a sharp outflow from bitcoin exchange-traded funds on U.S. markets. Over the past two weeks alone, the figure stood at about $1.5 bln, pushing total net withdrawals above $5.1 bln since February began. Observers link this occurrence to market jitters arising from cryptocurrency price fluctuations, along with elevated caution among big-ticket investors.

These ETFs are often viewed as a key indicator for broader liquidity and interest from institutional participants. Yet bitcoin’s price slump increased volatility, leading many to scale back or offload their positions. That said, some analysts argue that a sustained price recovery could entice fresh capital inflows.

Heavy outflows may represent not only fear-driven sell-offs but also systematic profit-taking from seasoned holders. While large sums have exited, fund managers maintain that overall demand for digital assets remains significant, hinting at a still-developing marketplace.
