$1.22 Billion Withdrawn from US Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in One Week

US-listed crypto funds posted some of their heaviest weekly withdrawals this year, while XRP-linked products reportedly held steady.

Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds listed in the United States lost more than $1.2 billion in investor capital over the course of a week, according to data cited by CryptoBriefing and Cryptopolitan. CryptoBriefing put the figure at $1.22 billion, while Cryptopolitan reported withdrawals of $1.25 billion over the same period. The modest difference likely reflects timing of the data snapshots or methodology, but both accounts point to a sizable pullback.

The outflows mark one of the larger weekly declines recorded since spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading in the US in January 2024, followed later that year by spot Ethereum products. Those funds had, for much of their existence, attracted steady net inflows from institutional and retail investors seeking regulated exposure to digital assets without directly holding the underlying coins.

A week of heavy redemptions does not necessarily signal a structural shift in demand. ETF flows can swing sharply in response to short-term market conditions, including volatility in spot prices, shifts in interest rate expectations, or profit-taking after periods of gains. Analysts typically caution against reading too much into any single week of data without additional context on subsequent flows.
