February 24 News: There has been a clear wave of redemptions in U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Data shows that on that day, net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs reached approximately $204 million, while spot Ethereum ETFs saw a simultaneous outflow of $49.48 million, totaling $253 million in daily capital outflows. This large-scale withdrawal occurred after Bitcoin’s price briefly dipped below the critical $65,000 level, combined with macroeconomic uncertainties caused by expectations of U.S. tariff policies, leading to a significant decline in risk appetite in the crypto market.
Structurally, Bitcoin ETFs are under the most pressure, with over $200 million in net outflows in a single day reflecting institutional risk reduction during price volatility. Although some products still experienced small net inflows, the overall capital trend remains toward reducing positions. Currently, the total assets of spot Bitcoin ETFs remain around $80.7 billion, accounting for over 6% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization, indicating high institutional participation, but short-term sentiment has become more cautious.
Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs are also facing selling pressure, with nearly $50 million in redemptions in a single day, consistent with recent weakness in Ethereum prices. Although daily trading volume remains high, showing active trading, the capital flow suggests investors are more inclined to wait and see rather than increase their holdings. Since their launch, Ethereum ETFs have attracted over $10 billion in cumulative funds, and the long-term allocation logic has not been fundamentally shaken.
It is noteworthy that Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net outflows for five consecutive weeks, with a total outflow of about $3.8 billion, marking the longest continuous fund outflow cycle since 2025. This trend indicates that the market is entering a phased risk reduction mode, with institutional sensitivity to macro policies, tariff expectations, and crypto asset volatility continuing to rise.
Although short-term capital withdrawals are intensifying market volatility, the long-term capital structure still shows some resilience. Some investors view this correction as a window for medium- to long-term positioning, and ETF capital flows will remain highly influenced by macroeconomic conditions, policy expectations, and Bitcoin price stability. If market volatility gradually subsides, institutional capital may flow back, and demand for crypto asset ETFs still has potential for recovery.
