Cointelegraph

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $2.35 billion in net outflows over two consecutive weeks, as redemptions reached more than $1 billion each week. 

According to Farside Investors data, spot Bitcoin ETFs shed $1.07 billion between from Monday to Friday, following $1.28 billion in outflows the previous week, the largest weekly redemptions since late June. 

The funds recorded $185.4 million in net outflows on Friday, down from $284.1 million on Thursday and $299.8 million on Wednesday. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for $143.5 million of Friday’s withdrawals, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) shed $41.9 million. 

Friday marked the seventh consecutive trading session of net withdrawals, with about $1.71 billion redeemed since Nov. 5. The sustained outflows coincided with broader market weakness as Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $70,000 on the same day.
