US Spot

ETFs Break Outflow Trend with $238M Influx Amid Market Swings

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.

(IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin ETF, added $15 million to the inflow, recovering from a record $523 million outflow on November 19—the fund's worst performance since its January 2024 inception. Despite this positive shift, November remains the most challenging month for Bitcoin ETFs since their launch, with total outflows surpassing $3.79 billion.

Abu Dhabi's Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC) has become a significant force in the market. During the third quarter of 2025, ADIC tripled its investment in BlackRock's , increasing its holdings from 2.4 million to 8 million shares, worth $518 million by the end of the quarter . This move, made before Bitcoin's 20% slide in October, highlights institutional faith in Bitcoin as a long-term asset. ADIC's approach reflects a broader Gulf region strategy to establish itself as a global center for crypto, with sovereign wealth funds managing assets exceeding $1.7 trillion.

Analysts attribute the recent inflow to capitulation selling and accumulation by major investors. Bitcoin ETF holdings now exceed 1.05 million

, nearly half of all available coins, as back to affordable options like FBTC and Grayscale's Mini Trust. The inflow occurred as Bitcoin tested the $77,000 level, historically seen as a bottom during capitulation phases. Technical analysis points to a possible rally toward $90,000 if institutional interest continues.

BlackRock's IBIT, trading around $57.26, has experienced significant redemptions this month, with $2.47 billion withdrawn.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

. Implied volatility for IBIT options has climbed to 60%, indicating increased demand for protective puts and suggesting a possible inflection point in the selloff.

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.

that Bitcoin ETFs may continue to see outflows if the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in December stays below 50%. On the other hand, long-term optimism remains, with firms like ARK Invest increasing their Bitcoin ETF exposure by $600,000 .

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.
