Bitcoin ETFs see $4.4B outflows over 13 days, but capital shifts to altcoin funds like XRP ETFs.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a record 13-day streak of outflows totaling $4.4 billion, driven mainly by large issuer dynamics, especially BlackRock's IBIT. Despite this, the total assets under management reset to levels last seen in November 2024, masking ongoing demand as capital rotated into alternative crypto funds such as XRP ETFs, which saw fresh inflows nearing $1.5 billion. Structural factors like legacy trust tax lots, fee differences, and redemption mechanics contribute to misleading headline outflow figures, indicating that the market is optimizing exposure rather than abandoning crypto. Investors should focus on issuer-level flows and category breadth to understand true demand and rotation within the crypto ETF space.
