what happened
U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs gave up $1.07 billion last week, marking back-to-back periods in which withdrawals topped $1 billion. According to The Block, which analyzed SoSoValue figures, the previous such run came in late May and early June. Of the 15 U.S. spot crypto fund groups SoSoValue tracks, 10 saw money leave and four recorded no activity at all. The only group that took in cash was the Avalanche (AVAX) funds, with $227,000 arriving on Thursday.
Bitcoin funds shed money in each of the five trading sessions, with the heaviest day being Wednesday at $299.9 million. Over two weeks the total reached $2.35 billion, the biggest such stretch since the period ending June 5, when $3.14 billion exited. Friday's drop was the seventh daily loss in a row, and since November 5 the funds have lost $1.91 billion. BlackRock's IBIT made up about 77% of Friday's $185.5 million, accounting for $143.5 million.
Early Friday bitcoin slipped below $69,000, its lowest since August 20 at that point, as traders reacted to Jensen Huang stepping down as Nvidia's chief executive and to growing bets on another Fed rate increase. On Saturday morning, per The Block, the price stood near $65,650. Ether ETFs lost $398.9 million, their seventh negative week in a row, and have bled roughly $2.42 billion since late September. Solana funds gave up $32.1 million and have now been negative for six straight weeks.
why it matters
Steady withdrawals from spot funds suggest institutional investors are trimming crypto exposure amid worries about Fed policy and leadership changes at Nvidia. Because these funds buy and sell the underlying tokens, extended outflows pull demand directly out of the market, which matters for how bitcoin and ether are priced.
