Bitcoin is trading near $73,130, down roughly 1% over 24 hours, as persistent selling from US spot Bitcoin ETFs continues to cap any recovery. CoinShares-linked flow data shows $2.97 billion in net outflows over the last 10 trading sessions — the longest outflow streak on record for the products since launch. Ethereum is bearing the brunt on the percentage side, sliding about 2% to $1,987.
Why it matters
The duration of the ETF outflow streak matters more than the daily totals. A 10-session run with no reversal session is a structural rotation away from spot exposure, not noise — and it lines up with rising oil prices and stalled US-Iran ceasefire talks, both of which have pushed risk assets into a defensive posture. The Fear & Greed Index is sitting at 29 (Fear), with BTC dominance elevated to 57.3%, the classic signature of capital retreating to the relative safety of Bitcoin while alts bleed.
Market impact
Adding to the flow pressure, a roughly $1.26 billion sale of BlackRock's IBIT earlier in the week appears to have been a rapid exit by a single large investor, per on-chain analysis — a one-off event, but one that fed the streak. Separately, the US Treasury said it has seized nearly $1 billion in Iranian-linked crypto, a reminder that geopolitical risk in the Middle East is now flowing through on-chain enforcement channels, not just oil futures. Total crypto market cap is $2.56T; the altcoin index at 38/100 confirms the breadth of the pullback.
