Bitcoin and Ether ETF Capital Flows Update (January 8, 2026)

Institutional appetite shows signs of cooling as both major digital assets experience notable outflows this trading session.

Bitcoin ETF net outflows reached $398 million, while Ethereum ETF saw $159 million in redemptions. The simultaneous pressure on both assets suggests broader market sentiment shifts among institutional investors.

These outflow figures indicate caution in the market, with portfolio managers potentially rotating positions ahead of upcoming macro developments. The divergence between BTC and ETH outflow magnitudes reflects different investor positioning strategies across the two leading cryptocurrencies.

BTC0,5%

ETH0,75%

Are institutions all rushing out? Then retail investors should buy the dip haha --- 398M has gone out, is this a clearance sale or a shakeout... --- Wait, the withdrawal difference between BTC and ETH is so big? It feels like institutions are not that optimistic about Ethereum --- Here comes the usual "macro factors" excuse, is it just to scare people? --- This rhythm... why do I feel like it's another buy signal? --- When the data comes out on the 8th of the month, I bet there will be a rebound next week --- Is the spring for retail investors here? Institutions are dumping, so we should just keep buying --- Is this panic real or just a fake fall? You can tell by the trading volume --- ETH's withdrawals are more than half less... does that mean some people are still optimistic?

Institutions are moving; is this really going to cause turbulence... or are they just shaking out the weak?

Hmm... they're trying to escape again. This time, the institutions are really a bit timid.

Institutional big players are starting to run again, with 398M dumped. It feels like something is about to happen.
