Overview
Early-2026 ETF positioning is turning choppier: multiple reports describe spot Bitcoin and spot Ethereum ETF outflows after an initial burst of inflows, while prices were described as largely steady/flat in the same window. The common thread is a shift toward more cautious, risk-off positioning as ETF flows wobble and institutions reposition.
