Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $83.27 million in net outflows on December 26, extending a sustained redemption trend as Bitcoin remained under pressure below the $88,000 level. The continued weakness highlights fading investor appetite amid BTC’s inability to regain key resistance levels.
Fidelity’s FBTC led the outflows with $74.38 million in redemptions, while Grayscale’s GBTC saw $8.89 million withdrawn. All other listed Bitcoin ETFs reported zero net flows on the day. Data for BlackRock’s IBIT was not updated at the time of publication.
Total assets under management across Bitcoin ETFs declined to $113.83 billion, while cumulative net inflows stood at $56.82 billion. Meanwhile, BTC fell more than 1% over the past 24 hours, trading firmly below $88,000.
Five consecutive days of Bitcoin ETF redemptions
The current outflow streak began on December 18, when Bitcoin ETFs recorded $161.32 million in withdrawals following a brief rally a day earlier that attracted $457.29 million in inflows. Selling pressure continued on December 19 with $158.25 million in outflows before activity paused over the weekend.
Trading resumed on December 22 with $142.19 million in redemptions. Outflows intensified on December 23, reaching $188.64 million, followed by another $175.29 million on December 24. The December 26 figure of $83.27 million brought total net redemptions over the five-day period to more than $750 million.
Trading activity also cooled sharply, with total value traded falling to $1.57 billion on December 24 from $5.93 billion on December 17. The prolonged outflow phase has steadily reduced ETF holdings as Bitcoin failed to sustain momentum above the $90,000 threshold.
On December 26, Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for nearly 89% of total outflows, reinforcing its dominant role in daily ETF activity. Grayscale’s GBTC followed with $8.89 million in redemptions. Grayscale’s mini BTC trust, along with funds from Bitwise, Ark & 21Shares, VanEck, Invesco, Franklin, Valkyrie, WisdomTree, and Hashdex, all posted zero flows.
Ethereum ETFs mirror Bitcoin weakness
Ethereum spot ETFs also reflected broader market softness, recording $52.70 million in net outflows on December 24, following $95.53 million in redemptions on December 23. A brief pause in selling occurred on December 22, when Ethereum ETFs attracted $84.59 million in inflows before outflows resumed.
Total net assets held by Ethereum ETF products fell to $17.86 billion on December 24, down from $20.31 billion on December 11. Cumulative net inflows across Ethereum ETFs stood at $12.38 billion.
Bitcoin’s repeated failure to break and hold above the $90,000 level has fueled profit-taking across digital asset markets, triggering position reductions in both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products.
