Investors are retreating from U.S. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in a dramatic sell-off, as uncertainty from geopolitical tensions and a recent crypto liquidation spooks the market. On Thursday,
Bitcoin ETFs saw more than $536 million exit, led by Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB and Fidelity’s FBTC, while Ethereum ETFs lost nearly $57 million, reversing recent inflows.
The rout follows last week’s historic market turbulence, which wiped out $20 billion in leveraged crypto positions after President Trump announced 100% tariffs on Chinese imports. Traders are jittery, wary of policy volatility and its ripple effects across digital assets.
Analysts say the wave of ETF outflows underscores fragile sentiment. “Markets are digesting both geopolitical risks and lingering pressure from restrictive monetary policy,” notes Justin d’Anethan of Arctic Digital. At the time of writing Bitcoin hovers around $105,800, and Ethereum around $3,780, as investors scramble for safer positions.
Despite the turbulence, some see a cautious silver lining. Falling inflation and potential central bank pivots could provide a foundation for stabilization – though near-term swings are expected to remain elevated. For now, crypto ETFs are riding the tension between political headlines and market mechanics, making every move a test of investor nerve.
