U.S. Bitcoin ETFs Log $782 Million Christmas-Week Outflows as Price Whipsaws Near $90,000

Analysts describe the holiday redemptions as seasonal, pointing to still-strong year-to-date crypto ETP inflows.

Overview

  • Outflows totaled about $782 million from Dec. 22–26, extending a six‑day redemption run that topped $1.1 billion, according to SoSoValue.
  • Friday saw the heaviest single‑day exit at roughly $276 million, led by BlackRock’s IBIT (~$193 million) and Fidelity’s FBTC (~$74 million), with GBTC posting modest redemptions.
  • Total assets in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs stand near $113.5 billion, with cumulative inflows since early 2024 in the mid‑$50 billion range and global 2025 ETP inflows around $46 billion.
  • CoinShares reported $446 million in weekly outflows focused in the U.S., even as XRP and Solana ETFs drew fresh inflows and Germany registered net buying.
  • Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $90,000 before slipping below $88,000, with thin holiday liquidity and derivatives positioning shaping short‑term moves and several desks expecting flows to normalize in early January.
