The data from SoSoValue shows this marked the worst weekly performance since February 2025. That month saw Bitcoin ETFs lose $2.61 billion in a single week during a sharp market downturn.
The recent outflows follow a period when spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $1.42 billion in net inflows. This reversal happened as Bitcoin fell below $90,000.
Wednesday recorded the heaviest outflow day with $709 million exiting Bitcoin ETFs. Tuesday came in second with $483 million in redemptions.
Outflows eased toward the end of the week. Thursday saw $32 million leave while Friday recorded $104 million in exits.
BlackRock IBIT Leads Redemptions
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust posted outflows on all four trading days last week. The fund experienced its heaviest redemptions on Tuesday and Wednesday.
IBIT currently holds about $69.75 billion in net assets. This represents roughly 3.9% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply.
Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund reported net outflows of $451.5 million for the week. In total, eight of the 11 ETF issuers reported weekly outflows while three saw zero net flows.
Despite the recent pullback, cumulative net inflows since January 2024 stand at $56.5 billion. Total net assets across all US spot Bitcoin ETFs reach approximately $115.9 billion.
Ethereum ETFs faced similar pressure during the same period. Spot Ether ETFs posted $611 million in net outflows for the week.
This reversed the prior week’s $479 million inflow streak. Wednesday was the worst day for Ether ETFs with $298 million redeemed, followed by $230 million on Tuesday.
Market Pressures Mount
Bitcoin’s price decline came as President Trump threatened a 10% tariff on eight European NATO members. BTC dropped to a January 21 low of $87,215.
The price remained below $90,000 even after Trump withdrew the tariff threats following an agreement on Greenland. Delays to Senate Committee votes on the Market Structure Bill added to investor concerns.
Rising 10-year Japanese Government Bond yields also weighed on Bitcoin demand. Concerns about Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s fiscal spending plans sent the risk premium for holding JGBs higher.
A hawkish Bank of Japan monetary policy outlook on January 23 added pressure. Higher yields typically reduce market liquidity and weigh on risk assets.
The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index fell from 49 on January 18 to 25 on January 25. The drop into the Extreme Fear zone indicates oversold conditions.

Total net assets for Ether ETFs now sit around $17.7 billion. Cumulative inflows stand at $12.3 billion since their July 2024 debut.
Year-to-date outflows for Bitcoin ETFs reached $117.1 million through January 23, according to Farside Investors.
