Bitcoin ETFs Register Record Daily Net Outflow as Gold ETFs See Biggest Inflows Since 2022
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their highest ever net daily outflows yesterday, with outflows exceeding inflows by $1.14 billion. 10 out of 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs in the trading in the U.S. market reported net outflows yesterday.
Yesterday’s net outflows smashed the previous record, which was set on December 19, 2024 at $680 million in net outflows.

Gold ETFs inflows surged to highest levels since March 2022
Interestingly enough, physically-backed gold ETFs saw their highest weekly inflows since March 2022 last week. According to data by the World Gold Council, these investment products registered 52.4 metric tons of gold in inflows, worth roughly $5 billion. Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $559 million in net outflows in the same time period.

The stark difference between flows in Bitcoin and gold ETFs in a period of high market uncertainty is a signal that investors still perceive Bitcoin as a risk-on asset, despite Bitcoin advocates often touting it as a safe haven.
Analysts expect bearish BTC price action to continue in the short term
Standard Chartered’s global head of digital asset research Geoff Kendrick expects the sell-off in the Bitcoin market to continue in the short term, saying that a move to the low 80,000s was likely.
According to Kendrick’s estimates, a significant portion of Bitcoin ETF holders is currently in the negative, as those who have invested in Bitcoin ETFs since Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election bought in at an average Bitcoin price of around $96,500.
Last week, we covered analysts at JPMorgan expecting a bearish performance from Bitcoin in the short-term, and their call has proven to be accurate so far, with Bitcoin touching as low as $85,900 after an 8.8% price decline in the last 7 days.
Yesterday, the crypto fear and greed index slipped into “extreme fear” territory, signalling very poor crypto market sentiment. Current prices could present a good opportunity for Bitcoin investors with long-term conviction.
The algorithmic Bitcoin price prediction on CoinCodex is forecasting a bullish year ahead for Bitcoin, as it’s currently expecting the world’s largest cryptocurrency to reach as high as $175,000 before the end of 2025.
