Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) defied expectations this week, experiencing a price increase of around 3.7% even as investors pulled a significant amount of money out of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
What Happened: According to data from SoSoValue, the total net outflow from Bitcoin spot ETFs on Thursday was a hefty $218 million.
This outflow marks the first time that Fidelity‘s (BATS:FBTC) and Valkyrie‘s (NASDAQ:BRRR) ETFs witnessed net withdrawals of $22.61 million and $20.16 million, respectively.
Grayscale‘s industry-leading (OTC:GBTC) ETF shouldered the brunt of the outflows, experiencing a net loss of $139 million on Thursday.
Franklin Templeton‘s EZBC (BATS:EZBC) was the lone bright spot, recording a modest daily net inflow of $1.87 million, while BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: IBIT) recorded its second straight day of no new inflows.

Despite the overall negative sentiment in the ETF market, the price of Bitcoin continues to climb, suggesting a potential disconnect between investor sentiment in the ETF market and the underlying asset itself.
This disconnect is further supported by research from JPMorgan, which indicates a weakening correlation between Bitcoin ETF prices and investor inflows, according to a Coindesk report.
While the outflows are significant, it’s worth noting that they come on the heels of a strong week for Bitcoin, with its price climbing nearly 4%.
Additionally, liquidation data suggests a relatively stable market, with only $13.48 million worth of Bitcoin longs being liquidated in the past 24 hours.
What’s Next: The recent outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs raise questions about investor sentiment and the future of this investment vehicle. Will this trend continue, or is it a temporary blip?
What are the long-term implications for the Bitcoin market?
The Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event, scheduled for Nov. 19, will bring together industry leaders, analysts, and investors to discuss these critical issues.
