Eight consecutive weeks of net outflows is no longer a streak, it is a regime: institutional desks have stepped back from BTC exposure into a defensive posture.
BlackRock's IBIT was the only fund bleeding on Thursday, shedding $40.4M while the rest of the complex finally turned positive after ten straight sessions of net redemptions.
