Key Market Developments
BlackRock IBIT Reversal: After months of dominance, BlackRock's IBIT led the sell-off with a staggering $317.81 million in redemptions on Thursday and a record $528 million on Friday.
Bitcoin Price Crash: The heavy outflows coincided with Bitcoin's price plummeting to a nine-month low, briefly touching $81,000on Friday. This price action triggered over $1.68 billion in total liquidations across the crypto market.
Macro Economic Pressures: Analysts attribute the "risk-off" sentiment to geopolitical tensions (including reports of explosions in Iran), a brief U.S. government shutdown, and uncertainty regarding the next Federal Reserve Chair.
Ethereum Divergence: While Bitcoin ETFs bled capital, Ethereum ETFs showed relative resilience earlier in the week, with $117 million in inflows on Monday before the broader market slide began.
Total assets in Bitcoin spot ETFs now stand at approximately $107 billion, representing about 6.38% of Bitcoin's total market capitalization.
