The US Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs are experiencing an unprecedented “capital exodus,” with four consecutive months of net outflows totaling over $9 billion, marking the official start of a harsh winter for the cryptocurrency market.
According to SoSoValue’s data, investors have withdrawn from Bitcoin spot ETFs for four straight months, with a total outflow of $6.39 billion, the longest decline since their listing in January 2024, reflecting that institutional investors’ enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies has cooled to freezing point.
Meanwhile, Ethereum spot ETFs are also being abandoned, with $2.76 billion withdrawn over the past four months. Such a large-scale capital flight indicates that the previously supporting “institutional demand” for these coins has vanished, directly explaining why the prices of the two major cryptocurrencies continue to fall.
Bitcoin hit a peak of $126,000 in early October last year, but has now nearly halved to around $66,000; Ethereum’s decline has been even more severe, dropping over 60% from its high of nearly $5,000 in August last year.
Looking back to 2024, the cryptocurrency market was once very optimistic: the launch of spot ETFs was seen as a golden opportunity for institutional entry, and the subsequent victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election further fueled the bullish rally.
