U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.16 billion in net outflows over 3 trading sessions, as weakening market sentiment prompted investors to reduce exposure to the cryptocurrency.

The funds lost

  • $643 million on Friday,

  • $399 million on Monday, and

  • $116 million on Tuesday,

according to SoSoValue data.

Bitwise Head of Research, André Dragosch, attributed the withdrawals to short-term risk aversion rather than a structural shift in institutional sentiment.

Bitcoin traded near $78,000 while the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 34 from 26, remaining in ‘Fear’ territory.

Dragosch also said institutional ETF holdings remained largely intact highlighting the distinction between exchange hot-wallet risks and institutional cold-storage arrangements.
