Why did spot Bitcoin ETFs lose $470 million after the Fed cut rates and Trump talked trade?

Why did spot Bitcoin ETFs lose $470 million after the Fed cut rates and Trump talked trade?

Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows in the United States reached about $470 million on Wednesday, the biggest daily withdrawal in two weeks, according to Farside Investors.

The outflows came on the same day the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points and while Donald Trump held trade talks with China’s President Xi Jinping.

Markets stayed choppy and Bitcoin price briefly fell to $108,000 before returning to the $108,201–$113,567 area, CoinGecko data showed. The move reversed gains from earlier in the week.

The Bitcoin ETF outflows were led by Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw about $164 million leave the fund. ARK Invest’s ARKB recorded about $143 million in redemptions.

BlackRock’s IBIT, one of the most watched spot Bitcoin ETFs, had about $88 million in outflows. Grayscale’s GBTC logged another $65 million exit.

Bitwise BITB saw a smaller loss of about $6 million. These figures show that the Bitcoin ETF outflows were broad and not limited to a single issuer.

Earlier this week, spot products had added $149 million on Monday and more than $202 million on Tuesday. Wednesday’s Bitcoin ETF outflows erased that progress.

The pullback reduced cumulative spot Bitcoin ETF net inflows to about $61 billion and brought total ETF assets under management to around $149 billion, which is about 6.75% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization, according t o SoSoValue.

Fed rate cut did not lift Bitcoin price

The Fed rate cut of 25 bps did not trigger higher Bitcoin price levels. Instead, Bitcoin stayed inside a tight range between $108,201 and $113,567 in the last 24 hours.

That range formed even though the United States signaled easier monetary conditions. At the same time, Trump trade talks with Xi Jinping about U.S. China trade tensions did not move ETF flows back into positive territory.

Because spot Bitcoin ETF flows often move together with Bitcoin price, a flat or pressured market can quickly show up as Bitcoin ETF outflows.

Analysts earlier told Cointelegraph that October’s rally coincided with strong creations into spot Bitcoin ETFs; Wednesday’s opposite move matched the same logic but in reverse. The data showed selling, not allocations.

ETFs still hold more than 1.5 million Bitcoin

Even after the Bitcoin ETF outflows, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs still hold a large supply.

Data from Bitbo showed that ETFs control more than 1.5 million BTC, worth about $169 billion, or 7.3% of the total Bitcoin supply. That means Bitcoin ETF holdings remain a major part of the market.

BlackRock IBIT is still the largest single holder among the U.S. products, with about 805,239 BTC. Fidelity FBTC follows with around 206,258 BTC.

Grayscale GBTC holds about 172,122 BTC, even though it continues to post Bitcoin ETF outflows.

This structure shows that the selling reduced AUM but did not remove the ETFs from the market.

The article also cited Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy, who said on Monday that he is not concerned about short term moves and that Bitcoin can still reach $150,000 by the end of 2025 because of ongoing developments.

His remark was kept as a reported statement, not as guidance, to show that large holders still track Bitcoin ETF flows, Fed rate cut effects, and Bitcoin supply in ETFs together.
