Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows reach $3.8 billion in five weeks
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded five consecutive weeks of net outflows totaling $3.8 billion. During this period, Bitcoin fell nearly 30% to $68,400 at the time of writing. However, Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds continue to hold $53 billion in assets.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted five straight weeks of outflows, with nearly $316 million withdrawn last week alone, bringing the total to $3.8 billion.

There were inflows during certain trading sessions. For example, on Friday, February 20, about $88 million flowed into Bitcoin ETFs, but this was offset by larger outflows on other days.
Among the notable withdrawals were more than $410 million on February 12, along with additional negative sessions from February 17 to 19, leaving the overall weekly figure in negative territory.
According to Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Kronos Research, the recent outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs appear to be driven by institutional positioning rather than a loss of long-term interest in the asset.
In his view, the outflows reflect portfolio risk reduction amid rising geopolitical tensions and broader macroeconomic uncertainty.
“The escalation of trade disputes and tariff changes has strengthened the risk-off atmosphere in markets, making digital assets more sensitive to macroeconomic news,” Liu told Cointelegraph.
As of Friday, since their launch, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated approximately $54.01 billion in net inflows. Total net assets stood at around $85.31 billion, representing about 6.3% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization.
Ethereum follows Bitcoin’s path
Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs have also faced selling pressure over the past five months, turning overall flows negative.
According to SoSoValue, the funds recorded net outflows of approximately $123.4 million last week. Weekly losses occurred despite several positive sessions. On February 13, ETH ETFs saw $10.3 million in inflows, and on February 17, $48.6 million, but these gains were offset by larger outflow days.
