US Bitcoin, Ether ETFs Face $1.82B Outflows Amid Market Slump

US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs have reported about $1.82 billion net outflows during the last trading week of January 2026, according to Phemex News. These outflows are attributed to heavy redemptions from major issuers like BlackRock and Grayscale.

BlackRock’s IBIT was the major contributor to Bitcoin ETF outflows, reaching $528.3 million on January 30, with a weekly total of $1.14 billion. Grayscale’s GBTC also witnessed significant losses, and Fidelity’s funds showed mixed results, reflecting the broader trends covered in Phemex Market Daily.

The steep outflow trends have raised concerns among investors, with Bitcoin’s price falling below $85,000 and Ether dropping beneath $2,700 as detailed in the article on Phemex. Market experts speculate that broader market conditions are affecting investor sentiment.

Analysts predict that extended outflows may lead to prolonged pressure in the crypto markets. Historical trends, such as the current redeeming patterns, appear linked to market volatility. Data points to a continuation of risk-averse behavior by institutions and could signal further movement in the derivatives market.

The current events draw parallels to previous instances in January 2026 where ETF outflows peaked near $840 million. A significant drop marked January 20-30, with outflows nearing $1.49 billion in four consecutive days.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan suggested, “Bitcoin’s price will go parabolic if ETF demand persists long-term.” Experts believe ETF outflows signal institutional caution, potentially setting Bitcoin’s cost basis around $80,000-$82,000. Data suggests renewed market resilience may evolve.
