US spot Bitcoin<\/a> exchange-traded funds recorded about $635 million in net outflows Thursday as the cryptocurrency traded near the estimated cost basis of the funds' Bitcoin holdings.<\/p>\n

The Oct. 22 withdrawals were the largest daily outflow since June 25 and reversed nearly 60% of the inflows the funds attracted over the previous three trading sessions, per SoSoValue data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)<\/a> led the selling with $254 million in withdrawals, followed by Fidelity's FBTC<\/a> at $217 million. Together, the two funds accounted for approximately 74.2% of the day's net outflows.<\/p>\n

ARK Invest's ARKB shed another $109 million, while Grayscale's GBTC and Bitwise's BITB lost $30 million and $27 million, respectively. Morgan Stanley's MSBT<\/a> was the only fund to attract fresh capital, recording about $2 million in inflows.<\/p>\n

The reversal coincided with Bitcoin's decline to as low as $80,841 during the reporting period, extending the cryptocurrency's struggle to recover as escalating Middle East tensions and renewed concerns about US technology stocks unsettled financial markets.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin's institutional support faces pressure from rising oil prices<\/h2>\n

The latest withdrawals interrupted a recovery that had appeared to restore institutional demand following two consecutive weeks of ETF outflows.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin funds<\/a> attracted $527 million on Oct. 19, then $23 million on Oct. 20 and $528 million on Oct. 21. Thursday's selling reduced the week's net inflows to about $443 million.<\/p>\n

Simon-Peter Massabni, head of business development at XS.com, told CryptoSlate<\/em> that the unstable flows stem from increasingly cautious investors seeking short-term trading opportunities rather than committing capital for extended periods.<\/p>\n

He said Bitcoin continues to find tentative support above $80,000, although buying momentum remains insufficient to establish a sustained recovery.<\/p>\n

In its Oct. 21 market report<\/a>, Glassnode estimated, using data through Oct. 19, that US spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> acquired their holdings at an average price of approximately $81,500, while corporate Bitcoin treasuries hold their coins at an estimated average cost of $80,200.<\/p>\n

The analytics firm found that buy orders around $80,000, substantially depleted during the Oct. 15 selloff, had been replenished by Oct. 20, although at smaller levels than previously recorded.<\/p>\n

However, corporate treasury accumulation has weakened considerably, with monthly purchases remaining below one-tenth of their November 2024 peak since June. That has reduced another potential source of demand during market declines.<\/p>\n

Glassnode identified the True Market Mean near $77,600 as the next major downside reference if Bitcoin closes below $80,000. Conversely, holders' acquisition costs and concentrated selling orders between $85,000 and $87,500 could limit any recovery.<\/p>\n

Massabni warned that developments beyond the cryptocurrency market could further constrain investors' willingness to accumulate Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Escalating Middle East hostilities have raised concerns about energy supply disruptions, sending Brent crude above $110 a barrel and threatening to intensify global inflation pressures.<\/p>\n

He argued that persistently elevated energy prices could force central banks to keep monetary policy restrictive, reducing liquidity available for speculative investments.<\/p>\n

Pressure was also evident in US equities, with the Nasdaq Composite down 2.6% on Thursday and the S&P 500 down 1.21%, partly reflecting concerns about returns on heavy artificial intelligence infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n

The Federal Reserve's next policy decision is due Oct. 28<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ethereum ETF withdrawals deepen<\/h2>\n

Ethereum has faced a more sustained withdrawal of ETF capital, with US-listed funds recording about $111 million in net outflows on Oct. 22.<\/p>\n

SoSoValue ETF flow data<\/a> show BlackRock's ETHA<\/a> lost $75 million, while its staking-focused ETHB product recorded another $17 million in withdrawals.<\/p>\n

Grayscale's two Ethereum funds shed a combined $20 million. Fidelity's FETH attracted about $2 million, providing the only positive contribution among funds reporting activity.<\/p>\n

The withdrawals brought Ethereum ETF losses<\/a> to approximately $1,180 million in October, exceeding September's $832 million in inflows and reducing year-to-date net inflows to about $387 million.<\/p>\n

Massabni observed that institutional demand for Ethereum<\/a> remains inconsistent despite occasional positive flow sessions.<\/p>\n

The funds lost a combined $129 million across Oct. 19 and 20 before attracting $15 million on Oct. 21. Even during that brief recovery, BlackRock's ETHA continued to experience withdrawals.<\/p>\n

“One session of inflows is encouraging, but it is not enough to offset the preceding withdrawals,” Massabni said.<\/p>\n

He added that Ethereum's price recovery would require several consecutive sessions of sustained buying, with the cryptocurrency struggling to establish a firm base around $2,400.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
