#数字资产市场动态 Three days in a row! US spot Bitcoin ETF faces capital outflows

The market on January 22nd was again frustrating—according to real-time tracking by Farside, the US spot Bitcoin ETF was hit by institutional sell-offs for the third consecutive trading day, with a single-day net outflow of $708.7 million. Behind this figure, it actually reflects the changing sentiment of large funds in this wave of market movements.

Specifically, among major leading products, the withdrawal of funds is quite evident:

IBIT leads the outflow list, with a net outflow of $356.6 million, making it the "hardest hit"; closely following is FBTC, which also lost $287.7 million; ARKB, BITB, GBTC, and BRRR respectively saw outflows of $29.8 million, $25.9 million, $11.3 million, and $3.8 million. Only HODL, which is contrarian and bottom-fishing, attracted $6.4 million in new funds, becoming the "stabilizer" of the day.

Why is this happening? Simply put, market sentiment is playing tricks. Geopolitical tensions and the correction in cryptocurrency prices prompted institutional funds to withdraw first out of caution, waiting for calm before re-entering. Based on historical experience, such continuous outflows often indicate that the short-term market will continue to fluctuate, and investors should be psychologically prepared.

However, on the other hand, the inflow and outflow of funds in spot Bitcoin ETFs has always been the most direct window to observe institutional movements. The recent changes are worth paying close attention to for medium-term investors.

Big institutions are starting to cut the leeks again; we retail investors just have to take the fall, right?

Big institutions are dumping again, this pace is really annoying. HODL quietly accumulating, everyone else is running away, it's kind of interesting. Three days of continuous decline at this pace, short-term still needs to grind it out. What are the institutions doing? Truly unpredictable. Feels like this wave of volatility is far from over, gotta hold steady. IBIT is bleeding the most, the big players' mentality has indeed changed. Geopolitics + retracement coming together, no wonder everyone wants to run. Is this actually an opportunity? Or should we keep waiting and watching?

Pushing down for three days in a row, are the institutions scared? HODL quietly bottoming out—this move is interesting.
