Heavy Bitcoin ETF Redemptions Fail to Break Price Support

Key takeaways:

• Bitcoin ETFs saw their largest single-day outflow in weeks.
• Selling pressure was widespread across major issuers, not isolated.
• Spot Bitcoin price held above $82,000 despite heavy ETF redemptions.
• Price stability suggests non-ETF demand helped absorb supply.

Despite the pressure from ETF redemptions, spot prices across major assets showed mixed resilience, suggesting that not all selling pressure translated directly into the broader market.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a sharp net outflow on 29 January, with total withdrawals of approximately $817.8 million. The selling pressure was broad-based, led by heavy redemptions from BlackRock’s IBIT (-$317.8 million), Fidelity’s FBTC (-$168.0 million), Bitwise’s BITB (-$88.9 million), and ARK’s ARKB (-$71.6 million), alongside notable outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC (-$119.4 million). Despite the scale of ETF selling, Bitcoin was trading near $82,603, showing only a marginal daily decline and signaling relative price resilience.

Ethereum

Ethereum ETFs also faced sustained pressure, recording net outflows of roughly $155.7 million on the day. Redemptions were driven primarily by BlackRock’s ETHA (-$54.9 million) and Fidelity’s FETH (-$59.2 million), with additional outflows from Bitwise and Grayscale-linked products. Ethereum was trading around $2,725, reflecting continued weakness in ETF demand alongside broader risk-off sentiment in the altcoin market.

Solana

Solana ETFs showed comparatively muted activity. Total net flows on 29 January were slightly negative at approximately -$2.2 million, with small outflows concentrated in Grayscale’s GSOL and Bitwise’s BSOL, while other issuers recorded flat flows. SOL was trading near $115.50, remaining under modest pressure but outperforming several larger assets in relative terms.

XRP

XRP spot ETFs experienced one of the most uneven flow profiles of the day, with total net outflows of about $48.6 million. While Canary and Bitwise products posted modest inflows, these were overwhelmed by a significant -$51.5 million redemption from Grayscale’s XRP trust. XRP was trading around $1.74, reflecting heightened volatility as ETF flows remain highly concentrated among issuers.
