Overview

A fresh wave of withdrawals from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs is back in focus after reports of $545 million in daily outflows and a second consecutive outflow day. Coverage splits between caution that concentrated ETF positioning can amplify downside during a risk-off tape, and a more resilient read that many investors are still holding despite market weakness as BTC trades near the $70,000 area.
