Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. experienced $71.07 million in net outflows on February 19, marking the second consecutive day of withdrawals amid regulatory delays and ongoing geopolitical tensions, including U.S.-China tariff disputes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Data from <\/span>SoSoValue shows<\/span><\/a> that <\/span>the majority<\/span> of the withdrawals came from Fidelity\u2019s FBTC, which lost $48.39 million. Valkyrie\u2019s BRRR followed with $9.27 million in redemptions, while ARK 21Shares\u2019 ARKB and VanEck\u2019s HODL saw outflows of $8.65 million and $4.77 million, respectively. <\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, BlackRock\u2019s IBIT, the largest Bitcoin ETF by net assets, recorded no flow activity during the period. The outflows highlight investors\u2019 cautious stance as the crypto market remains in a consolidation phase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spot Bitcoin ETF Trading Volumes Drop to $2.05 <\/span>Billion<\/span><\/h2>\n

Trading volumes for these products dipped, with daily activity reaching $2.05 billion on February 19, down from $2.83 billion the previous day. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the outflows in Bitcoin-focused funds, Ethereum spot ETFs saw inflows triple to $19.02 million, driven entirely by Fidelity\u2019s FETH, which added $24.47 million. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, Grayscale\u2019s ETHE offset some <\/span>of those<\/span> gains with $5.45 million in redemptions, while other Ethereum ETFs remained flat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The broader market sentiment has been affected by Bitcoin\u2019s recent dip below $95,000, extending a downward trend that began after it peaked at an all-time high of $109,200 last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Market analysts attribute the decline to profit-taking by short-term investors, geopolitical uncertainties, and diminishing expectations that a potential Trump administration will establish a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the bearish sentiment, Bitcoin <\/span>managed a slight rebound<\/span>, climbing 1.6% to $97,122 at press time. Ethereum also saw a 1.4% increase, trading at $2,729 per coin.<\/span><\/p>\n
