Bitcoin ETF posts record outflow amid crypto bear market

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Large, concentrated outflows ( $1.6B total; $447M record single-day) create direct selling pressure on IBIT and likely force creation/redemption activity that can depress NAV and market price. The timing — beginning after Fed Chair Powell’s Oct. 29 comments — highlights sensitivity to macro/rates: historically, bitcoin and bitcoin-related ETFs fell alongside equities during Fed tightening and risk-off episodes (e.g., 2022 crypto collapse and equity drawdowns). IBIT’s strong correlation this year with IVV/QQQ increases downside risk when equity markets sell off, unlike gold-correlated instruments which can diverge positively. While IBIT’s large AUM (~$75B) provides some stability, repeated heavy outflows and a continued bear market in bitcoin (price ~26.5% below 52-week high) point to further near-term downside, as seen when ETF/crypto flows amplified price moves in 2021–2022.
