Overview
As Bitcoin extends a steep pullback from prior highs, attention is shifting from price action to whether spot Bitcoin ETF investors are capitulating. The latest reports point to continued outflows—down to the day-by-day level—while also highlighting that ETF assets have not fallen in proportion to BTC’s drawdown, suggesting comparatively sticky positioning even as redemptions persist.
