- According to the data from SoSoValue, there were around $782 million in net outflows by the twelve spot BTC ETFs.
- The continuous outflow has led to the withdrawal of $1.08 billion in this month and around $3.48 billion in November 2025
The spot BTC exchange-traded funds have seen over $780 million in net outflows. The price of Bitcoin also went down from $90k on December 22 to $86,740 by December 25. After this, on December 26, the price tried to reclaim near $90k and hovered near $89k
This weekend the price was near $87k-$88k, and last week the price dropped when continuous outflows from its spot ETF funds were witnessed. According to the data from SoSoValue, there were around $782 million in net outflows by the twelve spot BTC ETFs between December 22 and December 26. The continuous outflow has led to the withdrawal of $1.08 billion in this month and around $3.48 billion in November 2025
These kinds of outflows are an indicator that the long-term belief from institutional traders is weak and would possibly carry on to keep investor sentiment dimmed
Moreover, the price of Bitcoin was kept in check at the time of lowered expectations of Fed rate cuts for the upcoming month and the following months, as the latest comments from the Fed Chair and prominent executives signalled a more careful stance over rate cuts
The Result of Geopolitical Tensions
Adding more to this, the data from Polymarket suggests that the odds of a 25 basis point remained at 13%, while the odds of no change stood at 87%. On December 25, BTC recovered over $90k before slipping back to $89k
The increase in Bitcoin is said to be the result of geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine on Dec 28, which led to the surge of oil prices and helped traders to shift their funds into safe-haven assets, including Bitcoin, which is mostly looked at as a digital hedge against volatility
Also, the short-term retail traders have driven most of the recent activity. Coinglass data reveals that the Bitcoin weighted funding rate has shifted to one of its highest levels since Oct 2025. Talking about Bitcoin futures open interest, it also surged around 7% in the last 24 hours, indicating that more participants are entering the market
