【Crypto World】On Monday, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs experienced their largest decline in nearly two weeks, with a total of $582.4 million in funds withdrawn in a single day. Among them, Bitcoin-related products saw outflows of $357.6 million (mainly from Fidelity’s FBTC, Ark’s ARKB, and Bitwise’s BITB), while Ethereum ETFs experienced approximately $225 million in capital outflows.

What is behind this move? Institutional investors are using ETFs for risk hedging—responding to stock market volatility and uncertainty in monetary policy expectations. In simple terms, they are not bearish on cryptocurrencies themselves but are adjusting their risk exposure.

However, don’t overinterpret this. Although funds have recently been withdrawn, the foundation for institutional entry remains—portfolio allocations are stable, and the global liquidity environment is improving. In the long run, this is just normal market fluctuation, and the reasons for pessimism are not yet sufficient.
