US Spot Bitcoin ETFs See $410M Outflows as BTC Falls Below $66K

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $410 million in net outflows as bitcoin slipped below $66,000, reflecting macro-driven pressure and weaker institutional flows.

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds posted $410.37 million in net outflows in a single session, marking the second consecutive day of withdrawals as bitcoin traded near $65,000. None of the twelve funds recorded positive inflows, with the largest redemptions coming from major issuers, reflecting broad-based institutional risk reduction.

The outflows coincided with Bitcoin’s decline to around $65,266, roughly 48% below its October 2025 peak of $126,080. Stronger-than-expected US payroll data reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain higher interest rates, dampening appetite for risk assets, including digital assets. Over a two-day period, total ETF withdrawals reached approximately $686 million.

Despite the short-term pressure, cumulative net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs remain significant at over $54 billion since launch, with holdings representing a notable share of Bitcoin’s market capitalization. Analysts say macro conditions and revised institutional forecasts are shaping sentiment, while ETF flow dynamics continue to serve as a key barometer of institutional engagement with the crypto market.
