US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered $133.3 million in outflows on February 19, pushing weekly net losses to $238 million. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led the decline with over $84 million exiting, as trading volumes remained subdued below $3 billion. If outflows continue through the week, this would mark the first five-week streak of Bitcoin ETF withdrawals since March 2025.
Year-to-date, Bitcoin ETFs have seen around $2.5 billion in outflows, leaving assets under management at $83.6 billion. While Ether and XRP ETFs posted modest losses, Solana ETFs bucked the trend with six consecutive days of inflows, accumulating nearly $700 million in AUM since launch, though volumes remain below previous months.
The broader crypto market continues to reflect extreme risk aversion. Bitcoin traded near $67,000 at the time of writing, down roughly 24% year-to-date, and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in “Extreme Fear” territory, signaling persistent market caution despite intermittent recoveries.
