WARNING: Spot Bitcoin ETF Assets Just Slipped Below $100B.
A major institutional liquidity drain is underway. $272M in fresh outflows just pushed Spot ETF assets below the critical $100B level, bringing year-to-date outflows to a concerning ~$1.3B.
This is a significant bearish signal for market structure. With $BTC now trading below the average ETF cost basis of ~$84K, a large block of institutional capital is officially underwater. This increases the risk of capitulation and further selling pressure.
While we are seeing minor inflows into altcoin ETFs, suggesting some capital may be rotating rather than exiting crypto completely, the sustained bleed from $BTC ETFs is creating major headwinds.
