On Dec. 24 spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $175 million in net outflows and ether spot ETFs $57 million as traders reduced risk and liquidity ahead of the Christmas holiday. BlackRock’s IBIT had the largest single-day bitcoin ETF exit at $91.37 million, followed by Grayscale’s GBTC with $24.62 million. Grayscale’s ETHE led ether selling with a $33.78 million outflow (cumulative net outflows $5.083 billion). Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust saw a $3.33 million inflow and has $1.506 billion in cumulative inflows. The article notes holiday-thinned trading, defensive positioning, and that outflows can reflect rebalancing or tax moves rather than outright bearishness.
