Latest data shows that US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced approximately $272 million in net outflows on the day, while funds related to Ethereum and Ripple saw significant net inflows, reflecting that in a highly volatile environment, institutions and high-net-worth investors are adjusting their crypto asset allocation structures.
According to data compiled by SoSoValue, after Bitcoin’s price briefly dipped to $73,000 and then rebounded above $76,000, funds temporarily withdrew from Bitcoin ETFs. Traders believe that tightening liquidity, rising macro uncertainties, and overall pressure on risk assets are key factors driving short-term de-risking. Meanwhile, the spot Ethereum ETF saw about $14 million in net inflows on the day, and Ripple-related products attracted nearly $20 million in new funds, showing clear rotation characteristics.
This divergence does not indicate a collapse in market confidence but rather a redistribution of funds among different mainstream crypto assets. Some investors are beginning to view Bitcoin as a risk asset highly sensitive to macro conditions, with its price reacting more directly to stock market declines, tech valuation pressures, and changes in monetary policy expectations. The outflows on that day coincided with a broad weakness in US software stocks, and concerns that AI’s rapid advancement is disrupting traditional business models further amplified risk-averse sentiment.
In contrast, Ethereum and XRP are seen as having differentiated value due to their roles in payments, settlement, and blockchain applications. The flow of funds indicates that the market is adopting a “selective risk-taking” strategy: reducing concentrated exposure to individual assets but not completely exiting the digital asset space.
Analysts point out that such ETF fund movements often serve as forward-looking signals of sentiment and trends. The current pattern suggests that investors are not simply bearish on the crypto market but are seeking more stable expectations and promising application prospects. In the coming weeks, if macro conditions continue to be volatile, similar fund rotations may become the norm.

Citigroup significantly cuts its 12-month target prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum, citing that U.S. cryptocurrency legislation setbacks weaken upside catalysts.
Citi Group has lowered its 12-month target prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum, indicating a more cautious outlook for the mid-term prospects of the crypto market, mainly due to slow progress in U.S. cryptocurrency legislation. The Bitcoin target has been reduced from $143,000 to $112,000, and Ethereum from $3,175. Although there is still upward potential in the future, the lack of new policy catalysts suggests that prices may fluctuate within a range in the short term.
