U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.7 billion in net outflows last week, the largest weekly withdrawal since February 2025, as macroeconomic pressures weighed on investor sentiment. Analysts attribute the sell-off primarily to a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report, which dampened expectations for near-term Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Robust employment data typically signals a more hawkish Fed stance, reducing appetite for risk assets including crypto. The outflows mark a notable reversal from the inflow momentum that followed the ETFs' launch earlier this year, raising questions about the durability of institutional demand. The figures highlight how sensitive bitcoin ETF flows remain to traditional macroeconomic indicators, reinforcing the growing correlation between crypto markets and broader financial conditions.
