【Crypto World】On December 24th, there was a significant outflow of funds from Bitcoin spot ETFs. The total net outflow within a single day reached $175 million — a figure that is indeed quite noticeable at the end of the year.

Specifically, the giant BlackRock’s IBIT experienced a daily net outflow of approximately $91.37 million, accounting for the majority. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s GBTC also saw a net outflow of about $24.62 million. The actions of these two institutions, to some extent, reflect the true attitude of institutional investors at the end of the year.

It’s worth pondering whether this is profit-taking at year-end or some form of concern about the market’s future? From the data, large institutions are choosing to reduce their holdings at this point, which may have a certain impact on the short-term Bitcoin trend.

BlackRock and Grayscale running together, such a timid look... Are they really planning to escape at the end of the year or genuinely bearish? The selling pressure of $90 million, can't hold it anymore, right?

Is BlackRock offloading assets? Is the year-end cash-out really a sign of bearishness... It seems even institutions are getting nervous.

BlackRock and Grayscale running together, what are they hinting at? Or are they simply trying to cash out before Christmas?

BlackRock's move this time is truly excellent. It's the end of the year, so if you need to run, you should run. Don't wait to get caught. If institutions are all reducing their positions, what are we retail investors still playing for... Taking profits or turning bearish, anyway the data is right here, and $175 million leaves me speechless. GBTC is also following the trend of reducing positions. When these two coordinate their rhythm, it becomes evident. Be cautious. Reducing positions at this critical year-end point somewhat hints at something. What happened to the promise of long-term holding?

BlackRock and Grayscale running together—are they really scared or just aiming to settle accounts by the end of the year? Feeling a bit anxious.
