U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs closed out the year under heavy pressure, extending their losing streak into the shortened Christmas Eve trading session. According to data from UK-based investment firm Farside Investors, net outflows on December 24 totaled approximately $175.3 million.
This marked another negative day for the products, bringing total net outflows over the past five trading sessions to roughly $825.7 million. Since December 15, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net redemptions on nearly every trading day, with only one exception last week, when inflows of about $457.3 million were reported.
Why Are Bitcoin ETFs Seeing Heavy Outflows?
Market observers largely attribute the selling pressure to seasonal factors. Crypto trader Alek explained on X that much of the ETF selling is likely driven by tax-loss harvesting, a common year-end practice in which investors realize losses to offset taxable gains.
He also pointed to the recent quarterly options expiry, which may have reduced risk appetite among institutional investors. At the same time, the Coinbase Premium Index has remained negative for weeks, signaling weaker demand from U.S.-based buyers.
Analyst Ted Pillows summarized the situation by noting that the United States currently appears to be the largest net seller of Bitcoin, while buying interest is increasingly coming from Asian markets. Ethereum ETFs have shown a similar pattern, with rolling 30-day net flows remaining mostly negative since early November.
Bitcoin Holds Steady Despite ETF Selling
Despite the heavy ETF outflows, Bitcoin has remained relatively stable, trading near $87,700. Given the scale of selling pressure, this resilience can be interpreted as a constructive sign of underlying demand and structural support.
With the calendar turning toward 2026, many market participants are watching closely to see whether seasonal selling pressure fades and institutional inflows return—potentially setting the stage for a renewed Bitcoin ETF recovery in the new year.
