Spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) of the two main crypto assets, bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH), closed their first week with capital outflows after a positive streak.
More than $1.23 billion left bitcoin ETFs this weekrecording withdrawals every day from Monday to Friday except for Tuesday. This is its worst weekly shift in eight months, since February 2025.
This occurs after register two consecutive weeks of entries, for USD 2.710 million and USD 3.240 million respectively. Such demand contributed to bitcoin reaching a new all-time high price near USD 126,000 last week, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
With this week’s new sales trend in ETFs, instruments used mainly by traditional and institutional investors, the price of bitcoin was pressured downwards. It hit USD 103,000 on Thursday, its lowest in four months since June.
In tune, ether ETFs received $311 million in outflows this week, despite having monopolized inflows on Tuesday and Wednesday. This takes place after two positive weeks, with income of 488 million and 1.3 billion respectively, and a week of withdrawals higher than this one.
In this sense, Unlike BTC funds, ETH outflows were not the most drastic in several monthsbut they did not even exceed those of three weeks ago, which marks a different behavior of investors.
This contrast is also reflected in the price of ETH, which this week fell to USD 3,600, not as low as last Friday when it fell to USD 3,400, its lowest in two months.
However, despite this better solvency of ETH, it has not achieved new all-time highs since mid-August, when it reached USD 4,900, surpassing levels from four years ago, which until then was its record. Instead, BTC has been setting records for more than a year and a half.
