U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows of $228.6 million this week, following a $681.1 million outflow the previous week, driven by concerns over rising inflation and potential Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The funds have lost about $615 million in October after starting the month with inflows, reflecting investor caution as Bitcoin prices dipped below key levels. Inflation data showing higher-than-expected consumer and producer prices increased expectations for further rate hikes, which typically raise borrowing costs and strengthen the dollar, pressuring riskier assets like Bitcoin. Despite recent outflows, cumulative net inflows since the ETFs' launch in January 2024 remain strong at $57.3 billion, indicating sustained long-term interest in crypto exposure through traditional markets.
