According to data from SoSoValue, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $275.83 million in net outflows on Tuesday, extending their negative flow streak to eight consecutive days, during which over $3.2 billion exited the funds. Within this period, BlackRock’s IBIT experienced its highest outflow day on Feb. 26, with $418.06 million in net redemptions. This came just a day after the 12 ETFs collectively recorded their highest single-day net outflows, with investors withdrawing $1.14 billion. Meanwhile, the majority of outflows on Feb. 27 came from BlackRock’s IBIT, which lost $189.02 million, followed by WisdomTree’s BTCW, which saw $53.78 million in outflows. Bitwise’s BITB bucked the trend with $17.65 million in inflows, making it the only ETF to see any inflows over the past three days.

BlackRock’s ETHA recorded $26.06 million in outflows, followed by Fidelity’s FETH and Grayscale’s ETHE, with $25.45 million and $19.57 million, respectively. The outflows from both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs came as Bitcoin ( BTC ) dropped below $80,000 on Tuesday, marking its first time under that level in over three months. The dip occurred as the broader crypto market faced a sell-off amid growing global market volatility. The leading cryptocurrency fell as low as $79,561 during early Asian trading, a sharp drop from its all-time high of over $109,000 recorded just last month. Bitcoin had been on a massive rally following Donald Trump’s election win in November. His pro-crypto stance, including promises to ease regulations and make the U.S. a global crypto hub, fueled optimism in the market. However, that excitement has faded recently as Trump’s policies—such as imposing tariffs on trade partners —have raised fears of a potential global trade war. His plans to cut taxes and tighten immigration rules have also sparked inflation concerns, leading to speculation that the Federal Reserve might keep interest rates high for longer. At the same time, economic data suggests the U.S. economy is slowing down, adding to market uncertainty. Read more: Bitcoin crash led to $2.16b in losses, mostly from recent buyers
