Institutional interest in cryptocurrency ETFs has experienced a notable decline, with U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) facing over $1 billion in withdrawals for the second week in a row. This trend marks a broader selling wave across most digital asset funds, leaving Avalanche ETFs as the sole category among fifteen that managed to attract net inflows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to data from SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs lost approximately $1.07 billion from November 9 to November 13. Collectively, U.S. spot crypto ETFs recorded net outflows of around $1.55 billion during that timeframe, reflecting a significant retreat in institutional investment.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Two-Week Bitcoin ETF Outflows Total $2.35 Billion<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The week saw consistent selling pressure on Bitcoin ETFs, with net withdrawals recorded every trading day. Outflows began on Monday with $201.1 million, followed by $95 million on Tuesday, escalating to $299.9 million on Wednesday, and $284 million on Thursday. The losses culminated on Friday with another $185.5 million exit.<\/p>\n

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) contributed significantly to Friday’s figures, accounting for $143.5 million of the day’s withdrawals, which represented approximately 77% of the total outflows. Fidelity’s FBTC also added to the losses with $41.9 million in outflows, while the other ten funds showed no significant changes. As a result, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a cumulative loss of about $2.35 billion over November, with their year-to-date tally reaching nearly $1.98 billion in net outflows.<\/p>\n

The sell-off coincided with Bitcoin’s price dropping below $69,000 on Friday, marking its lowest point since August 20, and further dwindling to around $65,650 by Saturday, as per The Block’s price data.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Ethereum ETFs Face Extended Outflow Challenges<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Ethereum investment products also struggled, witnessing around $398.9 million in withdrawals last week. This decline marked the seventh consecutive week of outflows for U.S. spot Ether ETFs, bringing total outflows since late September to approximately $2.42 billion. If the downward trend continues, it could soon tie previous records of eight-week outflow streaks.<\/p>\n

The highest withdrawal for Ethereum funds occurred on Monday, amounting to $184.5 million, followed by outflows of $144.8 million on Wednesday and $70.6 million on Thursday. A slight reprieve came on Friday when the funds attracted about $2.4 million in net inflows, thanks largely to Fidelity’s FETH, which brought in $11.6 million, slightly offsetting a $9.3 million outflow from Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Wider Crypto Market Declines: Solana, XRP, and More<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The negative momentum wasn\u2019t confined to Bitcoin and Ethereum; other cryptocurrency ETF categories also reported weekly withdrawals. Spot Solana ETFs saw approximately $32.1 million exit during the week, marking six consecutive weeks of losses\u2014the longest since their launch in October 2025. Despite this slump, Solana ETFs maintain a positive balance for 2026 with roughly $644.1 million in net inflows since inception.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Zcash ETFs faced significant challenges, with Grayscale’s ZCSH fund seeing $30.7 million in outflows, reducing its net assets by 32% to $523.7 million. Similarly, XRP ETFs reported a decrease of approximately $19.1 million during the week, marking their second straight week of losses and the largest outflow since mid-March.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Institutional Demand Under Duress Amid Bitcoin’s Decline<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The latest data on ETF flows highlights a retreat from cryptocurrency investment products at large, with Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the outflows. Bitcoin ETFs are poised for their most significant monthly outflows since June, while Ethereum funds are nearing a new record for consecutive negative weeks. The decline among Solana, XRP, Zcash, and other altcoin ETFs suggests that the bearish sentiment is widespread across the market.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the inflows observed in Avalanche funds indicate that investor interest persists in select digital assets despite the overall downturn. Moving forward, a critical challenge awaits Bitcoin: determining whether institutional demand can stabilize following nearly $2 billion in withdrawals over seven sessions. A shift in ETF flow could restore market sentiment, while continued outflows risk exacerbating the current downturn.<\/p>\n
