The US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds experienced a high outflow of $470 million on Wednesday, according to Farside Investors. It happened following a brief drop in Bitcoin's price to $108,000, which was then quickly reversed with a rise above $110,000. The decline occurred after two consecutive sessions of gains, totaling more than $350 million, thus highlighting a dramatic shift in fund flows.
Fidelity’s FBTC led with $164 million in outflows, followed by ARK Invest’s ARKB at $143 million and BlackRock’s IBIT at $88 million. Grayscale’s GBTC saw an additional $65 million leave, while Bitwise’s BITB recorded a more minor $6 million loss.
At the beginning of this week, Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) saw inflows of $149 million and $202 million on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, reflecting a brief period of optimism in the market before the change in direction. However, the ETF holdings are still quite high, as they exceed 1.5 million BTC, approximately $169 billion, representing 7.3% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Even with the latest withdrawals, institutional exposure remains strong. BlackRock’s IBIT holds 805,239 BTC, maintaining its position as the largest Bitcoin ETF in the world. Fidelity’s FBTC follows with 206,258 BTC, while Grayscale’s GBTC holds 172,122 BTC.
SoSoValue reports that the total net assets of ETFs are stable at $149.98 billion. The visuals from the platform depict a sharp alternating flow of money in and out from January 2024 to October 2025, indicating changes in the investors' positions. From March to July 2024, the period during which Bitcoin accumulated, was marked by a constant rise.
The outflow phases, which usually coincide with short-term price corrections, imply portfolio rebalancing rather than the selling off of large positions. ETFs, even amid volatility, have not lost their role in the overall acceptance of Bitcoin among institutional and fund manager investors.
According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin's current valuation is $110,747.73, down 2.05% over the last 24 hours. Its overall market capitalization is $2.21 trillion, while the fully diluted value (FDV) is $2.32 trillion.
Bitcoin's trading volume rose 7.86% during the same time and amounted to $69.09 billion, which consequently brought the volume-to-market-cap ratio up to 3.21%. The circulating supply of Bitcoin is now at 19.94 million BTC, which is quite near the ultimate limit of 21 million BTC. The market-cap ratio is climbing to 3.21%. The Bitcoin supply stands at 19.94 million BTC, which is not far from the maximum of 21 million BTC.
The daily price range of Bitcoin was between $113,540 and $108,900, which showed intra-day volatility. The price eventually went back over $110,000, indicating that market participants are still backing it.
Metropolitan Brigade's Chairman, Michael Saylor, despite the turbulent conditions of the short term, still holds a positive view of Bitcoin in the long run. He predicted on Monday that Bitcoin's price might reach $150,000 in 2025, further specifying the reasons for stronger adoption and the perking developments in the digital asset space.
The situation remains similar using most data sources: institutional interest is sustained, ETF inflows remain steady, and confidence in Bitcoin's position within the global financial system is increased, all of which compensate for the short-term volatility.
Bitcoin ETFs lost $470 million as BTC briefly dropped to $108K, then its price recovered. The institutional side remains confident despite the volatility, and major funds like Fidelity and BlackRock continue to hold Bitcoin reserves, reflecting long-term market trust and confidence in the market.
