Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds reversed a four-week inflow run, posting $296.18 million in net outflows for the week ended Friday. The pullback follows more than $2.2 billion of combined inflows over the prior four weeks, which included $787.31 million, $568.45 million and $767.33 million in early March and $95.18 million in the previous week.
The weekly reversal came after consecutive daily withdrawals on Thursday and Friday exceeding $396 million, with Friday alone seeing $225.48 million in redemptions — the largest single-day outflow since March 3, when ETFs recorded $348 million in outflows.
Cumulative net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs now total $55.93 billion, while total net assets have dipped to $84.77 billion from more than $90 billion a week earlier. Trading activity cooled as well, with weekly volume falling to $14.26 billion from about $25.87 billion earlier in March.
Macro calm masks deeper risks
A Bitunix analyst told Cointelegraph the macro backdrop shows “surface stability, internal imbalance,” as unresolved geopolitical tensions persist while policymakers try to project calm. Developments such as a US–EU trade agreement and a pause in Middle East escalations have eased immediate market stress, but underlying risks remain.
Against this backdrop, the analyst said Bitcoin is acting less like a breakout asset and more like a barometer of liquidity: range-bound between roughly $65,000 and $72,000, with demand absorbing downside moves but limited momentum on the upside. “Capital is not exiting the market, but neither is it willing to take directional risk,” the analyst added, suggesting volatility will likely persist within established ranges until macro conditions become clearer.
Ethereum ETFs extend outflow streak
Spot Ether ETFs recorded $206.58 million in weekly outflows, marking a second consecutive week of losses and reversing the modest inflows seen earlier in March. Daily data showed withdrawals every trading day since March 18, with the largest single-day outflow on Thursday at $92.54 million and $48.54 million on Friday.
