Bitcoin ETFs Lose $1.44B in 5 Days as Selling Deepens

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $299.90 million in net outflows on Wednesday, extending a five-session losing streak to $1.44 billion as institutional selling accelerated across crypto funds. Ether ETFs shed another $144.81 million, with redemptions spreading across every major crypto ETF category. The sustained retreat marks one of the sharpest multi-day outflow stretches for spot bitcoin funds, underscoring weakening institutional demand after a strong run of inflows. Selling remained concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT, even as a growing shift toward in-kind ETF transactions complicates the flow picture. Investors will watch whether daily outflows persist or stabilize in the coming sessions, and whether ether funds continue bleeding at a similar pace.
