Summary
BlackRock's spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), has seen money leave for seven consecutive trading sessions, with net outflows over the period totaling $1.66 billion. According to blockchain media outlet Cointelegraph, citing Farside Investors data, IBIT posted net outflows of $213 million on the 10th (local time) for the prior day. The fund, the largest spot bitcoin ETF by assets, has recorded outflows every trading session since Oct. 30.
Across the spot bitcoin ETF market, net outflows totaled $201 million on the same day. Inflows of $22 million into Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT) offset part of the selling but did not reverse the trend. Net outflows over the past six trading sessions amounted to about $1.5 billion, pushing year-to-date cumulative net outflows to $1.1 billion. This contrasts sharply with 2024 and 2025, when roughly $25 billion flowed into spot bitcoin ETFs on a net basis through early November of each year.
The pace of outflows has slowed. Net outflows on the 9th fell by about half from $412 million on the 6th, the previous trading day. Investor sentiment improved slightly, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 32 on the 10th, up from 29 the day before and 26 a week earlier, though it remained in the "fear" range.
Outflows from spot ether ETFs, by contrast, widened. Net outflows totaled about $185 million on the 9th, the largest single-day amount since Oct. 6. As bitcoin ETF selling eased, pressure appeared to shift toward ether products.
Bitcoin has not shown a clear recovery, hovering around $73,700, down 1.29% over 24 hours and 5.04% over the past week. Analysts and the source note it is too early to judge an overall improvement in sentiment, and a key question is whether IBIT's outflow streak ends and capital returns to major ETFs.
