After a turbulent weekend in the crypto markets that wiped out over $20 billion in liquidations, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs witnessed combined outflows of $755 million on Monday, reflecting growing investor caution.
According to SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs alone recorded $326.52 million in outflows, with Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) losing $93.28 million and Grayscale’s GBTC shedding $145.39 million. However, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) bucked the trend, gaining $60.36 million in inflows.
Ether ETFs also saw steep declines, recording $428.52 million in outflows. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led the losses with $310.13 million withdrawn, followed by Grayscale’s ETHE and Fidelity’s FETH.
The sell-off followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on all Chinese imports starting Nov. 1, triggering global market jitters. Analysts note that investors are waiting for clearer macroeconomic direction before re-entering the market.
“Investors are staying on the sidelines, waiting for clearer macro direction before re-engaging,” said Vincent Liu, CIO at Kronos Research.
As institutional accumulation continues, ETFs and public companies now control over 12.2% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Top 5 Cryptocurrencies by Market Value
| Rank | Cryptocurrency | Symbol | Market Value (USD) | 24h Change |
| 1 | Bitcoin | BTC | $111,197 | -4.3% |
| 2 | Ethereum | ETH | $3,971 | -5.1% |
| 3 | Tether | USDT | $1.00 | 0.0% |
| 4 | BNB | BNB | $575 | -3.2% |

The sharp outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs highlight the market’s sensitivity to global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. As investors await clarity on U.S.-China trade policies and overall market stability, cryptocurrency prices are likely to remain volatile in the near term. Institutional confidence, however, could rebound once macro conditions stabilize, potentially fueling a new wave of ETF inflows.
