The $1.17B outflow from US spot Bitcoin ETFs last week — the second-largest since launch — is hard to ignore. To me, this doesn’t necessarily scream “trend reversal,” but it does show how sensitive institutional flows are to market conditions.
I see two possibilities here:
1️⃣ Profit-taking after the run — Bitcoin has had a strong rally, so locking in gains makes sense, especially for big players under quarterly/annual performance pressure.
2️⃣ Early signs of rotation — If traditional markets (stocks, bonds, commodities) are offering better short-term opportunities, some institutions may temporarily shift capital away from BTC.
What I don’t see yet is fear. Outflows don’t equal “dumping Bitcoin” — they often just reflect rebalancing. The real test will be in the next 2–3 weeks. If inflows bounce back quickly, it’s just a healthy reset. If not, then maybe this is the first step in a deeper capital rotation.
