Bitcoin funds experience outflows from investors for the fifth consecutive week., 2026/02/21 16:18:31
American spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Bitcoin’s price have recorded a net outflow of funds for the fifth consecutive week. During this time, investors withdrew approximately $3.8 billion, according to analysts at SoSoValue.
In the past week, the net outflow from Bitcoin ETFs amounted to around $315.9 million. The largest weekly outflow occurred in the week ending January 30, when investors pulled out $1.49 billion. A particularly significant capital withdrawal (exceeding $410 million) took place on February 12.
As of Friday, February 19, investors have contributed about $54 billion to Bitcoin ETFs since their inception.

Vincent Liu, the investment director at the crypto trading solutions provider Kronos Research, stated that the outflow from Bitcoin ETFs is not due to disappointment in Bitcoin itself but rather a cautious approach from major institutional investors. They are reducing risks in their portfolios amid global tensions and economic instability. Liu believes that the inflow of capital into Bitcoin ETFs will remain volatile in the near future.
“The inflow of funds into cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds will depend on economic indicators, such as U.S. unemployment claims data. If the statistics are weak, it may revive hopes for a potential reduction in interest rates and support a market currently in a state of extreme fear — the fear and greed index shows a score of 14,” said the executive from Kronos Research.
Recently, Italy’s largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, disclosed its investments in cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds. Last year, the bank invested $72.6 million in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF and $23.4 million in the iShares Bitcoin Trust.
