\nBitcoin ETFs Shed $729M in Two Days as Investors Reverse Course<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

U.S. investors this week reversed course, cashing out $729 million from spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds \u2014 putting downward pressure on the leading cryptocurrency\u2019s price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Funds managed by BlackRock, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, and ARK 21-Shares all experienced significant outflows on Wednesday and Thursday, according to data from Farside Investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investors had started the week by selling close to $90 million in shares but then bought nearly $119 million on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rest of the week has seen outflows following news that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates. Other negative news includes the price of Brent crude jumping following renewed<\/a> attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. President Trump also hinted<\/a> that talks with Iran weren\u2019t bearing fruit \u2014 a sign war in the Middle East could continue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> recently stood at a little over $82,688, down more than 3% over a seven-day period. The leading cryptocurrency has rebounded slightly over the past day, jumping nearly 2% over 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, the coin was fast closing in on $90,000 last week. Investors are expecting decent returns as the month dubbed \u201cUptober\u201d has historically delivered for bitcoin speculators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The price of bitcoin has been particularly sensitive to geopolitical headwinds this year \u2014 especially since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, leading to an oil price surge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oil prices going up tend to lead investors to bet on the Federal Reserve raising<\/a> interest rates. And with higher interest rates comes less liquidity for the price of bitcoin to do well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, that\u2019s not always the case: the Fed last month talked tough on getting inflation down and raised interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point and bitcoin\u2019s price rose in the following days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price is 34% below the all-time high of $126,080 it touched in October. It has spent most of 2026 in a bear market but analysts are now increasingly pointing to evidence of a bull market following a rally in August and September.\u00a0<\/p>\n
