US Spot
After six consecutive days of outflows, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a net inflow of $238 million on November 21, hinting at possible market stabilization following a period of significant volatility. This turnaround came on the heels of a record $903 million outflow on November 20, which was the second-largest single-day withdrawal in ETF history, and marked the first notable inflow since mid-October. Renewed institutional interest in cost-effective products such as Fidelity's FBTC and Grayscale's Mini Trust fueled the inflow, raising total ETF assets to $110.1 billion and steadying the market after a $15 billion drop earlier in November.
This rebound occurred as Bitcoin (BTC-USD) hovered around $84,500, having fallen from a late October high of $125,100.
Analysts attribute the recent inflow to capitulation selling and accumulation by major investors. Bitcoin ETF holdings now exceed 1.05 million
BlackRock's IBIT, trading around $57.26, has experienced significant redemptions this month, with $2.47 billion withdrawn. Nevertheless, its 0.25% fee and superior liquidity compared to rivals like Grayscale's GBTC (which charges 1.5%) have prompted portfolio rebalancing by major institutions, including Goldman Sachs and Brevan Howard
Expert opinions remain split. Some foresee a short-term bounce, while others caution that volatility may persist due to broader economic pressures, such as postponed Fed rate cuts and ongoing regulatory uncertainty.
The $238 million inflow on November 21 reflects cautious optimism among investors, but the road to recovery is still uncertain. With Bitcoin ETFs now representing 6.5% of the total crypto market capitalization, the sector's durability will hinge on macroeconomic stability and continued institutional participation.
