U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced their fifth consecutive week of net outflows, marking the first such streak since March 2025, as institutional interest waned amid a broader cryptocurrency market downturn. During the week ending February 20, the 12 spot bitcoin ETFs lost approximately $316 million, bringing the total outflows since January 20 to about $3.8 billion. This decline follows a similar pattern seen in early 2025, when outflows were also prompted by market shocks. Despite the persistent selling, analysts note that there is a rotation of capital within the crypto sector, as funds have recently moved towards Solana and XRP ETFs rather than exiting the market altogether, with the sentiment characterized as one of fatigue rather than panic.
