BlackRock Suffers Biggest Hit as Bitcoin ETF Outflows Persist for Third Straight Day
Highlights:
- BlackRock suffers biggest hit as Bitcoin ETF woes enter a third consecutive day.
- FBTC topped the most recent flow data losses chart as the Bitcoin commodities succumbed to losses worth over $100 million.
- Trump’s election victory fuels BTC’s massive rally to establish a new peak value.
On November 5, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) suffered its most devastating outflows since BTC ETF’s inception. The outflow from IBIT contributed to the ETFs’ recent unimpressive trends, with the commodities succumbing to their third consecutive day of incurring losses. According to Farside data, IBIT witnessed about $44.2 million in outflows. Consequently, Bitcoin’s eleven ETF entities welcomed roughly $116.8 million in net losses.
Since its inception, IBIT has been renowned for its massive profitable contributions to Bitcoin ETFs. For context, it boasts the highest cumulative net inflows with a remarkable $26.13 billion input. Before BlacRock’s most recent outflow contribution, the last time the entity witnessed significant losses was on May 5, 2024.
On the said date, IBIT registered about $36.9 million in outflows. Hence, it corroborates the initial claim, which portrayed yesterday’s IBIT flow figure as the commodity’s worst outing.
Citing a potential reason for the persistent outflows, WhalePanda, a crypto market expert, noted that investors withdrew to avert risks that could emanate from the US presidential election outcome. The market expert wrote: “They went risk off for the election, and now that Trump is looking to win, BTC’s price went from $69k to $75k.”
Meanwhile yesterday's Bitcoin ETF flows were negative for $116.8 million.

Trump’s Election Victory Fuels Bitcoin Massive Rally Despite ETF Outflows

Amid its latest rally, BTC attained a new all-time high (ATH) after breaking above the former $73,700 peak price. The past 24 hours saw the token fluctuate between minimum and maximum price levels, ranging between $68,603.80 and $75,358.70. The $75,358.70 price level became BTC’s peak price.
