Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.3 billion in outflows in a single week, setting a 2026 record.


This is not a normal correction but a systematic retreat by institutions.
CoinShares data shows a total outflow of $2.54 billion from digital asset investment products over two weeks, with Ethereum also losing $223 million.
The only outliers are XRP, Near, and Solana, but their volumes are insignificant.
Behind this is rising geopolitical risk—the Iran situation has caused funds to withdraw from risk assets across the board.
But more fundamentally, institutions are reassessing the safe-haven properties of cryptocurrencies.
As ETFs become the main entry channel, the outflow rate has far exceeded previous levels.
Caution: if this outflow continues, it could create a negative feedback loop—price drops trigger more redemptions, which in turn push prices lower.
Currently, Bitcoin is barely holding around $76k, but buying interest is weak, and no one is willing to step in.
The market is waiting for a clear signal—either geopolitical easing or prices dropping enough to be cheap.
Until then, funds will continue to stay on the sidelines.
