Bitcoin ETFs post largest weekly outflows since June as BTC slips below $75K
Spot Bitcoin funds lost $1.28 billion last week, led by BlackRock's IBIT, as Bitcoin fell through a key support range.
Key takeaways
- Outflow leader. BlackRock's IBIT saw about $1.21 billion in net outflows, roughly 95% of the weekly total, per Cointelegraph.
- Support in focus. Bitfire Research said a sustained break below $74,400, $75,000 could trigger further selling.
- Holder behavior. CryptoQuant data cited by CoinGape shows short-term holders sending mostly loss-making coins to exchanges.
What happened
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $1.28 billion in net outflows last week, their largest weekly withdrawals since late June, according to SoSoValue data reported by Cointelegraph and CoinGape. The two outlets gave slightly different date ranges for the week, with CoinGape citing November 2 to November 6 and Cointelegraph describing the period ending Friday.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) drove the bulk of the withdrawals. Cointelegraph, citing Farside Investors, reported about $1.21 billion in net outflows from IBIT, roughly 95% of the weekly total, extending a six-session losing streak and bringing withdrawals since October 30 to about $1.44 billion. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) drew about $93 million in net inflows for the week despite losing nearly $200 million on Thursday, Cointelegraph reported.
The withdrawals came as Bitcoin fell below $76,000. Cointelegraph attributed the decline to fallout from Binance's $6.3 billion hack, uncertainty after the US midterm elections and a sell-off in technology stocks. CoinGape reported that Bitcoin traded at $75,937 at the time of writing, down 6% in two days since November 5, and later noted the price had slipped to $74,049, below the lower end of the $74,400, $75,000 support range.
The outflows brought the funds' net outflows for the year to about $919 million, according to SoSoValue data cited by Cointelegraph. The funds had already posted $515 million in net outflows in October, and CoinGape noted they have now recorded outflows for two straight weeks.

Why it matters
ETF flows are watched as a gauge of institutional demand for Bitcoin. CoinGape noted that sustained outflows can signal reduced institutional appetite and may rattle retail traders, potentially adding to selling pressure. The scale of the IBIT withdrawals is notable because the fund is the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets, making its flows a closely followed indicator.
The outflow week coincided with a broader retreat from risk assets. Bitfire Research, in comments shared with Cointelegraph, pointed to shifting expectations for US interest rates, post-midterm uncertainty and weakness in technology stocks. The firm also cited a Crypto Fear & Greed Index reading of 25 and a negative Coinbase Premium, indicating Bitcoin was trading at a discount on Coinbase relative to the indicator's benchmark. Bitfire described the market as being in a "breakdown and bottom-seeking phase."
Background
The latest withdrawals follow a period of weaker flows. Cointelegraph reported that the funds had already seen $515 million in net outflows in October, and CoinGape noted the ETFs have now posted outflows for two consecutive weeks. CoinGape added that Bitcoin ETFs have held up better than Ethereum ETFs, which have recorded outflows for six straight weeks.
On-chain data cited by CoinGape suggests short-term holders are increasingly selling at a loss. CryptoQuant data showed the amount of profit-bearing BTC this cohort sent to exchanges fell from 29,849 BTC to 4,089 BTC, while loss-bearing coins sent to exchanges rose from 2,559 BTC to 32,695 BTC, putting the loss share of exchange inflows at 89%. CoinGlass data cited by CoinGape showed Bitcoin exchange reserves fell from 2.6 million BTC on November 4 to 2.59 million BTC, meaning about 10,000 BTC left exchanges.
What to watch
Market participants are watching whether Bitcoin can hold the $74,400, $75,000 range. Bitfire said a sustained break below it could lead to further selling, while CoinGape noted that a weekly close below $75,900 could strengthen the bearish trend and open the way toward the 200-week EMA at $69,500. On the upside, CoinGape identified resistance at the 100-week EMA of $78,900, with a close above that level and a hold of $81,000 potentially opening a path toward $85,000.
Upcoming US inflation data and signals from the Federal Reserve were flagged by Bitfire as factors to watch. CoinGape also noted that investors are reassessing whether Congress could pass the CLARITY Act before year-end, and that concerns about an AI-sector selloff could weigh further on Bitcoin if they intensify.
