Assets of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs Fell to $100 Billion
On Tuesday, February 3, issuers of spot Bitcoin funds recorded outflows of $272 million, causing ETF assets to fall below $100 billion for the first time since April 2025.
Recall that at their peak in October last year, their value reached nearly $168 billion.
The decline occurred amid a broader sell-off in the cryptocurrency market: on Tuesday, Bitcoin dropped below $74,000. Over the past week, the global crypto market capitalization decreased from $3.11 trillion to $2.64 trillion (CoinGecko data).
In total, since the beginning of 2026, spot Bitcoin funds have lost nearly $1.3 billion.
The ongoing sell-off in BTC ETFs is happening while the flagship cryptocurrency is trading below the ETF creation cost of $84,000. As a result, new fund shares are being issued at a loss, putting pressure on capital inflows.
Crypto market experts say the downturn is unlikely to trigger further mass ETF sell-offs.
“I assume that the vast majority of assets in spot BTC ETFs will remain in place no matter what,” wrote ETF analyst Nate Geraci on Monday.
During the same period, ETFs based on altcoins, on the contrary, recorded modest inflows. Since early January, Ethereum-based funds have attracted $14 million, XRP ETFs received $19.6 million from investors, and SOL ETFs — about $1.2 million.
