Bitcoin Spot ETFs Witness Significant Outflows Amid Price Decline

Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen significant outflows amounting to $1.62 billion over a four-day period, indicating a change in institutional investor sentiment as Bitcoin prices remain below $90,000. According to NS3.AI, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust was at the forefront of these withdrawals. Hedge funds are reducing their positions due to narrowing Bitcoin basis trade yields, which are nearing US Treasury rates. Despite these outflows, there are selective inflows into altcoin ETFs such as XRP and Solana, suggesting a strategic repositioning by institutions rather than a complete market exit.
