Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant outflow of $566.4 million on Tuesday, Nov. 4, bringing the total outflow over the past five days to approximately $1.9 billion and clearly shifting the week’s sentiment towards risk aversion.
Fidelity’s FBTC was responsible for the bulk of the outflows at -$356.6 million, followed by ARKB at -$128.1 million and Grayscale’s GBTC at -$48.9 million. No fund recorded an inflow.
This marks the largest single-day outflow since Aug. 1, setting a new peak for redemptions in the latter half of the year. The cumulative five-day total now approaches $1.9 billion.

Bitcoin’s price movements provided minimal support to the ETF market. Bitcoin briefly fell below the significant $100,000 mark on major US exchanges on Tuesday before stabilizing just above that level into Wednesday morning. Aggregated data indicates Bitcoin’s average price on Nov. 4 was $101,475, with the early hours of Nov. 5 showing little upward movement.

Tuesday’s outflow was primarily focused on Fidelity’s FBTC, while ARKB and GBTC also saw notable, albeit much smaller, redemptions. This represents a significant shift from Monday’s outflows, where BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for nearly all of the outflows.
The situation leading into the latter half of the week is now quite clear. With Bitcoin having difficulty maintaining stability at $100,000 and realized volatility on the rise, the next ETF print will likely have a considerable effect on short-term sentiment. Another substantial redemption in the coming two to three days would reinforce the notion that de-risking is currently being reflected through the largest and most liquid wrappers. It will require more than a single day of net creations to counter this risk-off sentiment.
When examining the broader context surrounding ETF flows, it is crucial to consider the classic feedback loop: flows affect AP’s hedging and inventory, which in turn impacts spot liquidity, subsequently influencing derivatives positioning and funding. This loop can easily tighten or loosen within a few trading days.
In light of the magnitude and concentration of Tuesday’s outflows, we will be closely monitoring FBTC’s next print, the ongoing outflows from GBTC, and whether ARKB’s redemptions continue at a significant level. If this trend reverses, and a large fund like IBIT reports inflows again, there is a strong possibility that Bitcoin’s price will find support above $100,000. Conversely, if these outflows persist, the market will need to absorb a new wave of selling pressure at a time when both liquidity and confidence are already limited.
