Although Bitcoin has fallen more than 40% from its October high, spot Bitcoin ETFs remain resilient, with a net outflow of only 6.6%, significantly lower than previous similar cases. Investors tend to hold long-term, believing that the ETF structure can anchor Bitcoin within traditional financial assets, and short-term fluctuations do not signify the end of the trend.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that despite Bitcoin falling over 40% from its October high, spot Bitcoin ETF funds have shown strong resilience. Eric Balchunas stated that during the same period, only about 6.6% of ETF assets experienced net outflows, significantly lower than the typical market reaction to similar declines in the past. He pointed out that ETF investors generally allocate 1%–2% of their portfolios to Bitcoin, which differs from high-leverage or highly concentrated crypto-native traders, making them more inclined to hold long-term. Balchunas believes that the ETF structure may continue to anchor Bitcoin within the traditional financial asset framework, and short-term volatility does not necessarily indicate a trend end.
