$1.11B Bitcoin ETF Exodus: Is This the Dip Before the Rip?
Blood in the streets—or just Wall Street getting cold feet?
Bitcoin ETFs just hemorrhaged $1.11 billion in outflows this week. Traders are hitting sell buttons like it’s 2021 all over again. But let’s not pretend hedge funds haven’t weaponized volatility before.
The real question: Are retail investors about to get another ‘buy low’ gift—or is this the start of a deeper correction? History says crypto winters thaw faster than Wall Street bonuses disappear.
(Fun fact: The same institutions now panic-selling begged for these ETFs last year. Classic ‘sell the news’ behavior—if the news costs them quarterly returns.)

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Sees Largest Outflow
BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recorded the largest weekly outflow of $532.41 million during the week of November 10 to 14. This contributed heavily to the total $1.11 billion in spot bitcoin ETF outflows. Despite this, IBIT’s cumulative net inflow stands at $63.79 billion.
“The ETF’s holdings won’t grow unless fresh funds FLOW in,” said Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, a Bitcoin treasury company. He emphasized that Bitcoin ETFs provide fixed exposure to Bitcoin, without increasing holdings unless additional investments are made.

Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust Reports Weekly Outflow
Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) also experienced a drop, with a net weekly outflow of nearly $290 million. This outflow occurred during the same period, contributing to the overall decline in institutional demand. The trust’s total net inflows remain at $63.79 billion.
Przemysław Kral, CEO of Zondacrypto, a European crypto exchange, pointed to the effect of weekend liquidity. He noted that thinner liquidity can cause price swings due to fewer active traders. This makes it easier for forced sellers to move the market, creating an opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate Bitcoin at lower prices.
Bitcoin ETF Outflows Align with Market Decline
Bitcoin price decline coincided with these ongoing outflows. Bitcoin was trading near $95,200, down 0.59% over the last 24 hours. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell to $3.31 trillion, a 0.9% drop from the previous levels.
These outflows, along with broader crypto-market liquidations, underscore the challenges facing the Bitcoin market. Traders and investors alike face uncertain conditions as the outflows continue to reflect weakening institutional demand for Bitcoin ETFs.
