TLDR

Bitcoin ETFs saw $6.39 billion in outflows over four straight months, the longest losing streak since launch in January 2024
Ether ETFs lost $2.76 billion over the same four-month period
Bitcoin has fallen nearly 50% from its peak of $126,000, now trading around $67,000
Ethereum dropped over 60% from its August high above $4,950
Analysts say sustained inflows are needed before any meaningful price recovery can happen

US-listed spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have recorded over $9 billion in combined outflows over the past four months. The figures represent the worst sustained institutional exodus since these funds launched in early 2024.

Bitcoin ETFs have seen $6.39 billion in redemptions across four consecutive months of outflows. That is the longest monthly losing streak on record for these funds, according to data from SoSoValue.

Ether ETFs have not been spared either. Investors pulled $2.76 billion from those funds during the same period.

The outflows reflect a sharp drop in institutional interest in digital assets. When these ETFs launched in January 2024, they quickly became the most visible sign of Wall Street’s appetite for crypto.

Billions poured into these funds throughout 2024. Inflows accelerated after Donald Trump won the US presidential election, with investors betting on a friendlier regulatory environment for crypto.

That momentum carried Bitcoin to a peak of over $126,000 in early October 2025. Ethereum hit its own high above $4,950 in August of that same year.

The Crash

The market turned sharply after early October. Bitcoin has since fallen nearly 50%, trading around $67,000 at the time of writing.

Ethereum’s decline has been steeper. The token is down more than 60% from its peak, a larger drop than Bitcoin over the same period.

The October sell-off was reportedly triggered by pricing inefficiencies on offshore exchange Binance. That event appeared to shake confidence among institutional investors.

Since then, ETF inflows have been sporadic. No sustained buying trend has emerged.

Analysts say a consistent run of positive inflows would be needed before prices could stage a meaningful recovery. Short bursts of buying have not been enough to reverse the trend.

Before these ETFs existed, institutional exposure to crypto was harder to track directly. The funds gave analysts a cleaner window into how large investors were moving money.

That window is now showing sustained selling. The data covers both Bitcoin and Ethereum funds listed in the United States.

Recent days have seen some small inflows return to these products. However, analysts caution that isolated days of buying do not signal a trend shift.

The most recent data puts total combined outflows from both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs at just over $9 billion across the four-month period.
