ETFs See $3.55 Billion Pulled in November as Institutional Interest Diminishes

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed in the U.S.

experienced unprecedented outflows totaling $3.55 billion

throughout November 2025, making it one of the most challenging months for these products. The majority of withdrawals came from BlackRock’s

iShares Bitcoin Trust

(IBIT), which

faced $2.47 billion in investor redemptions

— representing 63% of the month’s total — as the broader crypto market underwent a sell-off. The pace of outflows increased when Bitcoin’s value dropped below $90,000, wiping out gains from its October high of $126,000 and

setting off stop-loss triggers and forced liquidations of leveraged positions

Late November saw selling intensify, with

daily outflows hitting a peak of $903 million

on November 14, in contrast to a brief $75.4 million inflow on November 19. BlackRock’s

IBIT

alone

registered a record $523 million outflow

on November 12 — its largest since launching in January 2024 — while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund

saw $1.09 billion withdrawn

during the month. This wave of selling reflected a broader pattern across crypto ETPs, with

U.S.-listed ETPs making up 97% of a $2 billion weekly outflow

, the highest since February.

Experts point to a mix of negative technical indicators, reduced expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, and shifting institutional strategies as reasons for the withdrawals.

Bitcoin’s fourth “death cross” of this cycle

— where short-term momentum falls below long-term trends — further fueled bearish outlooks. At the same time,

the odds of a December rate cut fell to 46%

from 93.7% in October, putting pressure on risk assets.

Savvy traders increased short positions by $5.7 million

within a day, indicating expectations for continued declines.

The effects were not limited to Bitcoin ETFs.

Ethereum ETPs saw $74.2 million withdrawn

, while

Solana

ETFs attracted $26.2 million in new investments.

The supply of stablecoins also contracted

, with the algorithmic token

USDE

losing nearly half its value after October’s liquidations. Corporate treasury involvement with digital assets weakened,

intensifying worries about institutional demand

Looking forward, the market remains split. Some analysts expect further drops —

forecasting a 50% decline before any recovery

— while others believe ETFs could stabilize if Bitcoin holds support near $89,000.

BlackRock’s ongoing leadership

in ETF flows, despite the turbulence, highlights its status as the main entry point for institutional Bitcoin investment.
