Bitcoin ETFs Face $71M Withdrawals Amid Ongoing Global Tensions

Recent withdrawals from Bitcoin ETFs indicate shifts in investor sentiment stemming from geopolitical events.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have recorded net outflows of $71.07 million on February 19, marking the second consecutive day of withdrawals driven by regulatory delays and geopolitical tensions such as U.S.-China tariff disputes. Data from SoSoValue indicates that most withdrawals originated from Fidelity’s FBTC, amounting to $48.39 million, followed by Valkyrie’s BRRR with $9.27 million.

Notably, BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest Bitcoin ETF by net assets, did not experience any outflows. This trend reflects a cautious sentiment among investors amidst market consolidation.

Spot Bitcoin ETF Trading Volumes Drop to $2.05 Billion

Trading volumes for these ETFs have seen a decline, with daily activity dropping to $2.05 billion on February 19 from $2.83 billion the previous day. While Bitcoin-focused funds see outflows, Ethereum spot ETFs recorded substantial inflows, primarily due to Fidelity’s FETH, which garnered $24.47 million.

However, Grayscale’s ETHE led to $5.45 million in outflows, while others remained stable. The overall market sentiment has been impacted by Bitcoin’s dip below $95,000, extending a downward trend since its peak at $109,200 last month.

Bitcoin Could Dip to $77K Without Ending Bull Market, Says CryptoQuant CEO

According to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, Bitcoin could fall to $77,000 without compromising its bull market. On February 19, Ki pointed out that the current price movements should not be mistaken for the beginning of a bear market. Despite not surpassing the $100,000 mark, Bitcoin remains bullish, trading around $96,300.

Key support levels have been highlighted: $89,000 and $57,000, which are essential to monitor. These levels show the average entry price for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF investors and the breakeven point for miners, respectively. Ki’s analysis suggests that a drop is common in typical bull market pullbacks and could reinforce long-term support.
