In the last 5 trading sessions, investors have withdrawn a total of approximately $1.82 billion from US-based Bitcoin and Ether spot ETF funds as market sentiment continues to worsen following a sharp rally in precious metals.
Specifically, from Monday to Friday, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows of up to $1.49 billion, while Ether spot ETFs saw net withdrawals of $327.1 million, according to data from Farside. The capital outflows occurred alongside a weakening trend of the two largest cryptocurrencies in the market, despite recent short-term recovery signals. Over the past 7 days, Bitcoin has decreased by 6.55% to around $83,000, while Ether lost 8.99%, retreating to approximately $2,685, according to TradingView.

Previously, Bitcoin had surged about 7% over two days just before January 15, driven by rumors surrounding the US CLARITY Act. However, this enthusiasm quickly cooled down.
Notably, during this brief bullish period, Bitcoin ETF recorded its strongest capital inflow since early 2026 on January 14, with an influx of $840.6 million. This development occurred just before the Crypto Fear & Greed Index — a measure of overall market sentiment — soared to its highest level since the beginning of the year, reaching a “Greed” score of 61 points.
Pessimistic views on Bitcoin are “short-sighted,” according to ETF experts
