Bitcoin spot ETF experiences nearly $500 million in net outflows in a single day, with FBTC and IBIT leading the decline

【ChainNews】On January 7th, Eastern Time, Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced a single-day net outflow. According to on-chain data, the total net outflow reached $486 million, with Fidelity’s FBTC performing the weakest, with a single-day net outflow of $248 million; BlackRock’s IBIT followed closely, with a net outflow of $130 million.

It seems that market sentiment has undergone a phased adjustment. However, from a broader perspective, the performance of Bitcoin spot ETFs remains stable — the total net asset value has risen to $118.364 billion, with a cumulative net inflow of $57.052 billion since launch. What does this mean? Based on the current total market capitalization of Bitcoin, the proportion of Bitcoin held by these ETFs has reached 6.51%, and institutional allocation is continuously increasing.

Daily fluctuations are inevitable, but from a half-year perspective, the reshaping of the Bitcoin ecosystem by spot ETFs is profound — more traditional funds are entering through compliant channels, and the market structure is quietly changing.

$500 million outflow is nothing, institutions only took 6.51%, and this is just the beginning.

Are you panicking over a single day's outflow? A net inflow of 57 billion is right here, and the supply line is still ongoing.

theoretically speaking, if we model this outflow as a recursive state transition... the underlying bridge liquidity between traditional finance and crypto still holds. the 6.51% allocation is basically a cross-rollup settlement happening in real time, no? fbtc bleeding that hard feels like poor interoperability design between custody layers tbh

Outflow of 500 million is nothing, cyclical fluctuations are normal. Play on, and looking at the long term is the way to go.

It dropped again... This wave of outflows is really fierce, with FBTC losing directly 248 million. But to be fair, with a cumulative net inflow of over 57 billion, what is 486 million in a day? Institutions have already jumped on board, and retail investors are still debating single-day fluctuations?
