🎄 Christmas Lull or Buying Opportunity? $280M+ Withdrawn from Spot ETFs
The holiday season has brought a temporary cooling to the market: on December 23rd, spot BTC and ETH ETFs recorded a combined outflow of $284.1 million.
The Numbers Breakdown:
📉 Bitcoin-ETFs: A loss of $188.6 million, marking the fourth consecutive day of capital reduction. Even BlackRock’s IBIT giant saw a $157 million outflow in 24 hours.
📉 Ethereum-ETFs: A loss of $95.5 million, effectively wiping out the previous day's inflows due to holiday profit-taking.
Cause for Panic?
Experts, including Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, remain calm. The primary reasons for the outflows are technical:
✅ Seasonal Liquidity Drop: Activity traditionally slows down around Christmas Eve.
✅ Portfolio Rebalancing: Large funds are closing positions for year-end reporting and preparing portfolios for 2026.
✅ Technical Correction: This is normal market behavior at the end of the year and does not invalidate the global bullish trend.
The traditional "Santa Rally" is taking a pause this year, but the long-term outlook remains strong. 🚀
