Bitcoin ETFs see their first decline of the week as the crypto market starts the week on a downward trend, causing Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies to plunge significantly in price. According to data provided by SosoValue, the Bitcoin ETFs recorded a massive outflow of $394.68 million on January 16, even as Bitcoin’s price held firm around $95,550 at the time. Bitcoin retreats as investor interest weakens While Bitcoin had earlier appeared steady, its price has now retreated below that level, suggesting that the pullback seen among the ETFs has now extended to the asset’s trading price as momentum continues to decline.

While the funds have continued to show long-term conviction in Bitcoin, they now hold about 6.53% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. This shows how deeply ETFs are now embedded in the market’s structure, bridging the gap between the traditional market and the Bitcoin ecosystem. BlackRock maintains dominance Despite the poor performance seen during the last trading session, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF has continued to attract capital, breaking the negative trend with about $15.09 million in daily inflow. Fidelity’s FBTC, on the other hand, saw the largest withdrawal of the day, with $205.22 million in outflows. Other funds also logged notable outflows, offsetting the modest inflow recorded by BlackRock.
